Your Favorite Concert Experience
Taking my son to see Radiohead in St. Louis in 2001...we were in the pit..6 feet away from the stage...he turned to me and said, "Thanks Dad." It was that moment when I knew he got difficult music.
Runners up - hanging out with the Eagles on the weekend of my 21st birthday and watching their show backstage with Cameron Crowe who became a pal. The Ramones in a gym. Paul McCartney's soundcheck at Wrigley last year. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young at the Auditorium Theater in 1970 while they were recoding 4 Way Street. Front row center for Derek and the Dominos with a new guy from England openning...Elton John. The Airplane, the Jam and the Smiths at the Aragon (over many decades). Yoko Ono with Sonic Youth at Pitckfork. Oh - and there was that show where I got to hang out and make out with Joni Mitchell in 1973. |

Favorite concert experience, there are 2 that stand out for me:
1. Jimmy Buffett (numerous times) The tailgating before the concert and the 3-4 hour concert is the best ever experience. 2. ZZTop with their Eliminator and Afterburner album tours. The music, the way the stage morphed from the car from the Eliminator Album to the Spaceship when they played the Afterburner songs.

Never appreciated it at the time but a group of us zipped up to Toronto in the 60's to see the Beatles. They weren't too well known at the time. I never took photos or made a big deal of it. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

My favorite concert was Roy Orbison. The venue was very small, and he was terrific.

Haven't been to a lot of big name concerts, but Sue and I saw McCartney in Boston in 2001 which would pretty much eclipse anything else. My other favorite memory is when my son and I saw Huey Lewis and the News. Great concert and wonderful musical bonding.

It was 2002 and I was sitting in the 11th row. That was possibly the best concert that I've ever seen except for when I saw Paul when he was with another band back in 1966.

Wow..This Is Tough!!
Back in 86 Billy Joel came to my hometown in a blizzard, delayed the concert an hour, came out on stage to a full house,called us all crazy & proceeded to rock the house!
If you never got the chance to see Garth Brooks in concert then you missed probably one of the most energetic shows you could imagine. The Eagles I saw twice ...first time when Hotel California was a hit & Joe Walsh had just joined the band...Amazing! Saw Elton John & Billy Joel together at Gillette Stadium...Great!! And I'll never forget my first big time concert when I was 17 back in 1974 I saw Grand Funk at the old Boston Garden! |
