“do you have to remember seeing them for it to count??? The late 80's thru mid 90's are kind of a blur...”

“Totally, that's why I listed no dates, but it was my thing to get a T-shirt at every show. I still have many of them.”

“thats an expensive t-shirt habit. Drugs are cheaper than concert t's....don't ask how I know”

“wow... you still have the shirts too... impressive! Those are just a memory too!”

“Yea, I just gave a bunch to my nephew, turns out "vintage T's" are back in style. I should have sold them on E-Bay....

I used to go to L'Amour in Brooklyn Ny almost every weekend and can't remember half the bands I saw there.”

“forgot...

Boxcar Willie
Captain and Tenille(sp?)”

“I forgot what was the best show I ever saw

Little Feat with Lowell George a few months before Lowell died.

I wonder what else I have forgotten.”

“Damn Birch. Did Captain and what's here face open for Circle Jerks?

You might get the "most varied concert goer" award.


Add Blueman group to mine.”

“�how was velvet revolver live?�

Quite possibly the worst show i've ever seen. Horrible sound.”

“BM, I saw Captain and tenille at a football game, they were the halftime show at a Michigan Panthers game, from back in the old USFL...

My tastes are still pretty broad, I love bluegrass too and neglected to list all the shows I've seen...

Best live show ever was Bad Religion. It was right after the feds killed the Davidians at waco and they had a song written about the davidians (man on a mission). I saw the show in Dallas, maybe 45min from the site of the killings.”

“Part of Maple's birthday present was last night's addition. A true rock and roll legend. Although I saw Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969, I have to put a separate entry to John Fogerty. We saw him at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan last night. This guy is still amazing! What an unforgettable show...

“I saw the back of Adam West once. The dude is fast!”

“Talking Heads (4X)

I think this entry is the one that makes me the most envious. Dang!”

“i can't claim a bit list of greats. i did see dizzy gillespie play several years before he died (early 90s). i also saw chet baker play, again not long before he died (late 80s). baker was spooky but his end was tragic.”

“Rahsaan Roland Kirk (August 7, 1936 - December 5, 1977) was a blind American jazz multi-instrumentalist, playing tenor saxophone, flute and other reed instruments. He was perhaps best known for his vitality on stage, where virtuoso improvisation was accompanied by comic banter, political ranting and his famous ability to play a number of instruments simultaneously.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahsaan_Roland_Kirk

I saw Kirk at Blues Alley in D.C. at some point between his stroke and his death.
Even without full use of one of his arms he was amazing.

Damn you Treebeard!

“Nigal, the Heads were one of the most high energy bands I've ever seen. Amazing shows! The movie, "Stop Making Sense" is a pretty good one and captures some of what they are like in concert. Of course, it is hard to capture that type of intensity in a movie. But this one does a good job...”

pretty darn cool, I saw them about 35 years ago (yes I was a very young gil then). still holds up”
