If you could see just one performer who would you go see?
- Thread starter The Boys
- Start date
Even more good ones!! I got that list off the "Top 80's Hair bands" Apparently who ever made up the list didn't think of those. I'm not good with names I just know songs. Thanks!! :toast:

I've been to over 100 Phish shows - used to work on an ancillary crew for them and got free tickets for almost every show, usually 10th row or better. Best band, ever. No two shows were ever the same. So many artists these days are about production and play the same setlist over and over, but Phish is truly a music lover's dream. Combination of classical jazz, funk, and some serious originality thrown on top.
Best venues in the U.S. that I have been to: the Gorge and Red Rocks (outdoor venues), Hampton Coliseum and Radio City Music Hall (indoors).
If I could see a band that I have never seen (and I have been to probably over 800 live shows) I would see the Talking Heads.

Well I didn't even think of them...but of course. That would have to top the list.
I love me some allman bros, but unfortunately was unable to see them live until the 90s. I was still in diapers when you were catching them in the 70s.
um, scratch me off your X-mas card list for being able to name this many shitty bands to go along with the equally terrible list that you added to.....:facepalm:

My middle son became pretty good friends with one of the two guys in the black keys. I think his name is Pat but not real sure about that though and am not going to call him up and ask . It was quite a coincidence because I knew his dad who works for the Akron Beacon Journal. Anyways they met here at UA and became buddies. He's got quite a collection of signed LPs, drumsticks and photos. He used to go see them all the time here in Akron when they were playing in front of just 100 people or so. They also filmed a couple of videos at the Italian Club here about 5 minutes away.
I've listened to a couple of CDs that my son gave me and found them to be enjoyable and off the beaten track of todays popular music. there is a certain, for lack of better word, raw sound to their music that is appealing.
He also has told me that they have been straying from the style that made them so good to begin with.

Patrick Carney is their drummer. I think you may have mentioned that in another thread as it rang a bell that your son knew them. I guess they, or at least one of them, use to work at an old school record shop in Akron. A good friend of mine is from Akron and says its pretty crazy that he use to buy dozens of records from there and the guy that rang him up he know sees on tv.
Have seen a lot of rock and roll acts back in the '70s-80's including the Stones who played here at the rubber bowl Hands down, the three best shows I have seen were
1. Queen after the release of Queen 2 album
2. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
3. Alice Cooper - The original band following the release of the Love it to death LP. I never liked his solo stuff at all.
All three bands exhibited supreme showmanship which made their events true shows, not just concerts.

Probably the record shop down in Highland Square, perhaps an oxymoron but the "hip" part of Akron. Chrissy Hynde of the pretenders is also from here. She opened a vegan eaterie down there but it went belly up last year. I'm sure that you are probably aware that Devo is also from Akron. it's always been a blue collar rock and roll town:0008
That made me lol....props
To see gnr on the list with those other atrocious bands make me want to vomit
I've never wanted to jump through my MTV more back in the day and strangle anyone more than extreme...they set back music 50 years
Oh yeah, my friend.....:toast:
thinking Penguinfan would be joining us as well
Can't imagine what a Zevon show when you caught him on a good night would have been like.
Would have been great to see Public Enemy, Run DMC, and Tupac back in the day, too....
Wished I'd have seen Ramones, Television, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls and Talking Heads to name just a few more...:0008
And Tom Waits, too, but since he is still alive and kicking, there is always a chance to do so...:00hour
Saw the Replacements 5 times and would be there if Tommy and Paul do get back together as they are now talking about doing....:toast:
So I'm guessing whatever the name is of the epic Van Halen album that Gary Charone fronted isn't in your library? :shrug:
can`t tell you how many hours friends and i spent listening to this crazy mofo......have those albums somewhere...
god,he was funny.....:lol:
Saw the Prentenders live once..great show...I love Chrissie Hynde...
Devo would have been a fun show I bet...
