Best Concert you've NEVER been to

[Burma Jones]

I missed Pink Floyd, The Wall, at the Madison Square Garden.....

[Nickster]

1. Any Led Zeppelin tour! Dammit! n/t

[ForrestGump]

2. Among many others:

The poster's a fake, though, as are most circulating that purport to advertise Elvis concerts. But Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins (among others) did tour together, and in Lubbock, in 1955, a young Buddy Holly opened the show for them (there's film of them all backstage). That would have been quite a show...Mac Davis and one or two other country/rock stars (can't recall who right now) were in the audience at the Lubbock shows and Elvis' set made them all want to be musicians.

3. Any 1988 Frank Zappa show...

My favorite tour, but I didn't discover Zappa until after it self-destructed. However, I think about about 2/3rds of the way complete on my collection of recordings from the tour.

[Initech]

4. I wish I could have gone to that tour as well

Although I was only 8 years old at the time and had no clue who Frank Zappa was.

[Ekirh]

5. Aerosmith .. .

Just because everytime I've tried to go it's canceled

first one: 9/11

Second one: Hurricane Isabel

Third One: Larengitis . .

There coming back in October.. I'm too afraid to even attempt.

6. Watkins Glen 1973

The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen, also sometimes referred to as the Watkins Glen Festival, was a 1973 rock festival which received the Guinness Book of World Records entry for "Largest audience at a pop festival." An estimated 600,000 rock fans came to the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Raceway outside of Watkins Glen, New York on July 28, 1973, to see The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, and The Grateful Dead perform

11. Never seen Bowie....darn,

[mtnester]

14. You should if you get a chance

nowadays he is very chatty with the audience...but, I will state that we saw him last about a week before he had his heart attack, so I do not know if he will tour again.

Nice show with a very diverse audience.

[Kire]

12. Rolling Stones at Altamont

Just kidding.

[Kire]

13. Why hasn't anyone said Woodstock yet?

[Archae]

17. My oldest sister went to Woodstock.

She said it was lots of heat, rain, mud and nekkid, stoned people. :-)

And some good music no one except those near the stage could hear.

[Blue_In_AK]

16. I was there...

It was a bummer, even though we were way in the back and didn't know what was going on up front, the atmosphere was tense all day long.

[Hissyspit]

20. Wow, you were there at the official youth-culture end of the '60s.

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Yeah, "The Wall." I was only 17, though. Wouldn't have known how to

get to NYC to see a concert.

[oberliner]

21. Dire Straits

Last minute conflict.

Anyone ever seen those guys?

[jmowreader]

22. I had a ticket to see Frank Zappa

It was in April 1988 at the Deutschlandhalle in Berlin. Bought it in February 1988. Was counting down the days until I'd get to see FZ.

And then I made Sergeant, and was immediately sent to the Primary Leadership Development Course in Bad Toelz.

On the night Frank played the Deutschlandhalle, I was on the Duty Train going to PLDC.

[Rising Phoenix]

23. Nirvana

[thefool_wa]

25. That one too

I went to get Tix for the Depeche Mode Faith and Devotion tour and discovered that Nirvana was playing the Mercer Arena (in Seattle) the same night that Mode played Key Arena (it should be noted that they are both in the Seattle Center - that place was a ZOO that night)

While in line I weighed my choices and decided to go with Mode. I figured that Nirvana would play here again soon, it is Seattle after all, and I would just catch them next time.

This was October 1993, need I say more.
