Who have you seen?

“What is it with some people?

For Years my sister told the story of how she ALMOST saw Hendrix in Jacksonville (c. 1968 or 9). Now when she tells the story, she says she DID see him, LOL. I think she's actually convinced herself that she did. I fight the urge to ask if he was right of left-handed.

Pretty Screwball if you ask me...”

“I saw Mott the Hoople!!!

I remember Gatemouth Brown...Got the CD to prove it.

The rest are fuzzy.”

“Strat - was Howe with yes, when you saw them? I'd say you've seen some of the best guitar men alive. I've got that album that McLaughlin and Demiola did, with Paco DeLucia.... totally unreal!!”

“I don't want to go back and read the lists, but has anybody seen Primus? Wow! I bet you feel like a freak after you watch them. Cool!

Also, are we allowed to count little bands. I've seen 2 or 3 little, unknown bands in bars and I saw these two guys (one plays the guitar, one plays the ELECTRIC violin) that were awesome. I've also seen my friend, Ben's, band in their living room, in my living room, and finally at a hotel. Do they count?”

“Twice. Once getting of a plane and once in concert.”

“That is when you really feel like a freak after a show, eh, Pathman!”

“Paul Simon-Central Park NY
free concert”

“Simon and Garfunkel would be cool.”

“Oh yeah, add for me:
KISS
John Cougar Mellencamp (a youngster having his first hit and opening for KISS... I think)
Charlie Daniels Band”

“One to adc, sorta:

Tommy Makem (I heard him warm up after interviewing him, then had to leave because the SOB who promoted the concert had sold the seat that had been reserved for me. Tommy was fantastic though.)



Cat Stevens did in fact become a Muslim and has made strident anti-American statements. If you bought his albums, you contributed to the cause because he has funded Islamic causes heavily with the riches he gained through singing. Comes from being followed by moon shadows, I guess. I still like the music.

Connells, man, I have one of their albums that was sent for a review that never appeared. I didn't get into it and never realized anybody listened to them.

And somebody mentioned Cowboy Junkies. Margo does have a sexy voice!”

“Too many to recall---I saw Robert Plant in a bar and told him if he ever got tired of Jimmy Page to let me play guitar for him. Why hasn't he called?”

“Obsessive compulsive?...maybe! A few years ago I went through all my concert tickets and put them in an Excel file according to date and year, and add each additional concert as I go.

Omegawd...you saw Angel? I have the Angel self-titled album with the song "Tower" on it. I loved that album when I was young but haven't listened to it in ...decades???”

“...and Stratdude...

Buddy Guy's bassest, Greg Rzab, played with Gov't Mule in Phily this Sat. Jason Newstead cancelled...tha'jerk, so Greg, George Porter, Jr. and Dave Schools were on bass (at different times, then all together onstage for the encore)”

“I saw Louis Armstrong when I was a young.”

“wow, you really need to get out more. ;-) j/k.
(i'd keep the Rod Stewart one hush-hush, though!)”

“Holy schit! Who is/was the Fixx?”

“The Fixx were an 80's band. One Thing Leads To Another was their most popular song.


OOps, thanx, Maple for reminding me. Forgot Peter Wolf/J. Geils Band show”

“There are probably a few shows I do not remember for various (mostly medicinal) reasons.”

“going to see Los Lobos, February 6 - The Keswick Theatre!

estoy sentado aqui!”

“Should be good, Bo! Enjoy...”

“treebeard,
Taj Mahal - I bet that was a good show. Have you ever seen Pat Metheny? I have never seen another guitarist who comes close to Metheny.”

“Angus young”

“Scotland's claim to fame, Rod Stewart and a Flock of Seagulls . Is Angus Scottish?”

“wow, I mean. Metheny's good, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone put him on such a pedestal.”

“Have you ever seen Metheny in concert? I know alot of people consider his music bubblegummy/soft jazz, but the dude can play the guitar like noone I've ever seen.”

“I never had the good fortune to see Metheny, although I always liked him. Used his music on lots of my early jazz radio shows. As far as guitar playing goes, hard to compare him with Angus. The music they play is so different. I always have trouble comparing apples and oranges (so to speak).”

“Los Lobos, one of my fav's. Definitely want to see some day.”

“Dang, treebeard, that's an impressive list!

“hey Artex, check your e-mail darnit!!!”

“What, no Hunt the Wumpus? Hee Hee”
