You know that concert the Allman Brothers did in the village that you can listen to on youtube? I was outside with a friend of mine and we were tripping. That was a long time ago when bands were bands and acid was acid :)

My first ever concert was in 94. It was The Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour. "Might never get the chance again" lol. They are still touring I think.


Been to many other shows such as Metallica, Tool, ACDC, RATM as far as big names. Lots of smaller venue punk shows, warped tour, festivals. I've seen Pennywise the most and they are my favorite band. Bad Religion, NoFX, Millencolin, Lagwagon, Face To Face.


I was at a/the show where Eminem was booed off stage. Might have been a warped tour actually.


Probably the most entertaining shows have consistently been GWAR. I've seen them 4 or 5 times now. They are an incredible band to see live.


Joe Bonomassa was a great show as well. Very talented musician.


My to do list with concerts is see Slipknot live and I want to check out a concert at the Gorge in Washington. Maybe eat a couple grams of shrooms and catch a Tool show.

I've likely worked more concerts than everyone in this thread has seen combined.

I'm over 5000 performances (concerts, theater, ballet, etc) worked at this point.

Biggest artist concert ever worked: Toss up between Madonna and Paul McCartney (who's bigger?).

Yeah Sailor, your musical tastes were similar to mine...I hitchhiked across Canada with a buddy in the summer of '71..
In old Quebec City we saw Cactus play in a tiny club...Place couldn't of held more than 450 people..(Look at the ticket price!)

After the concert we knocked on the door beside the little stage..Tim Bogert opened the door and I told him how great they sounded that night.
He invited us in and my buddy and I smoked a joint and drank beers with Bogert and Appice...We sat around swapping stories for about an hour..
Good times...
I've been meaning to frame this poster for almost 50 years.. Maybe I'll get motivated and do it..

I will just list my 2 favorite shows. Tom Petty at Sturgis '07? And John Prine in Phoenix a couple winters back.
I'm very happy that I got to witness both of those guys' magic.
I hope they are enjoying the other side.

I feel they should get a lot more recognition from the current generation considering all they’ve contributed to the culture of cannabis and cannabis growers

Countless concerts, lot of punk stuff, most I was drunk. Lot´s of storys, in lots of countrys. I stopped watching concerts, as it was forbidden to smoke tobacco there. I smoked weed on every concert until 2008.
