The WORST concert I ever saw was Rod Stewart at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel NJ with an ex-GF about mid 90's.
He had laryngitis, should have NEVER performed, sat in a chair the whole night and only did about 1/2 a concert. When it was over everyone looked at each other and said 'What the hell did we just witness?"
It was a fucking trainwreck.
Ironically the BEST concert I ever saw was there as well with Duran Duran and the same ex-GF. I got front row center seat and they knocked it out of the park with the songs, the costume, set designs and audience engagement. [Reply]

Omg, I remember going to see Metallica in St Louis was probably either Justice For All tour or Black Album. We all had tickets except for one of our friends. He stole his moms Rod Stewart ticket and we put him in the middle of our crowd. They just tore the ticket without looking at it. His mom was pretty pissed when she found out that’s what happened. We drank a bottle of 2 fingers tequila in line before going in. We rolled a half oz of weed into 3 HUGE joints. We were smoking and the girl sitting next to us with her boyfriend asked if she could hit it. I said yes but your boyfriend can’t. She smoked out, he looked angry. Dick move for sure. [Reply]

I saw Bonham open for ELP in Indianapolis in 1992. They were the loudest band I’ve ever heard. The fillings in my teeth hurt and my ears were still ringing two days later. [Reply]

That singer for Bonham, Daniel MacMaster died in 2006 from an strep infection. He was married with 2 kids.

You probably don't remember anything other than Ina Gadda Da Vida being played, I was wondering if they played "Ride Captain Ride" by Blues Image? Mike Pinera the vocalist guitarist of the Tampa band Blues Image joined Iron Butterfly in 1970 and was on the Metamorphosis album. Honestly, I hated Ride Captain Ride because it was one of those songs like Jack & Diane, radio played it to death. I always thought that was funny, he was in Iron Butterfly. He was also in Cactus and formed a band with Hendrix drummer Mitch Mitchell called Ramatam.
On most old videos Iron Butterfly is either lip-syncing or playing the 3 minute version, I found this full length live '71 recording a few months ago.
