You didn’t see Turnpike? I thought I remember you making plans to do it.
They were really good man. Not in a rock your face off kind of way, but good in the way that the studio sound didn’t fall apart live. What I took from that is how goddamned good of instrumentalists they were. Despite the booze. [Reply]

Never did. I begged them on their Facebook page to come to AZ. They ignored me!
I've gone to plenty of rock concerts and just as many country concerts. It's a different feel but the country guys really have to keep a clean sound for it to be worth it. Most of them seem to manage this quite well. [Reply]
Grateful Dead, ideally in ‘69 or ‘77
Pink Floyd
Zeppelin before Page was drunk falling off barstools and putting on bad shows
Hendrix
2pac
Biggie
The Who
Leonard Cohen
The Doors
Beatles
Mozart
Beethoven
Too young to have seen many other than Cohen and the bad Dead at the end when too young for all that fun. [Reply]
Odd thing is I never was that big a fan of Bryan Adams and I've seen him twice. First time was '82 he opened for Foreigner 4 and the other was the Amnesty Int'l Show in Atlanta 1986, it was U2, the Police, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed and Bryan Adams. He seemed a bit out of place at the event, he came on after Lou Reed and before Gabriel. I thought Peter Gabriel was the best part of the show. I did see U2 on the Unforgettable Fire Tour in Jacksonville the year before in '85 and they were much better when they put on a full show. [Reply]

Gotta say,i'm a bit jealous,i would've loved to see U2 on the Unforgettable Fire tour,but i was way too young.They get a bad rap,i think mostly because of Bono and some of their political views but they really do put on a good show.They're definitely a better live band than their albums would suggest i think.I saw them for the first time in 1992 on the ZOO TV tour,and although i havent been to a ton of shows,is still i believe one of the best tours of the last 20 plus years,in my humble opinion.
