My first show was a Grateful Dead show.Yes, I has been a long strange trip, even if trip doesn't mean what it used to anymore.Some standouts were the Dead circa 77
No such thing as a bad Dead show. If you don't like the show, come back the next night. The show will be completely different.
Saw them only in Houston, @Sanguine SRV just once.Jimmy, Kim, and the boys several times.Other blues guys I saw:Long, tall, Marcia BallLou Ann BartonB.B. KingAlbert KingBuddy Guy.Johnny CopelandAlbert Collins several times, the Iceman.Some Texas folks:Ray Wylie HubbardGary P.NunnRobert Earl KeenJerry Jeff WalkerJohnny Winter, but not Edgar.Got to jam with Jonny Winter's old drummer, Uncle John Turner, once, some guys from Rare Earth,too.Closest I ever got to fame.
Group: Big CountryLocation: Masquerade in Atlanta Ga... (Heaven section which is top floor)
You should have been at Hondo's place! All of those Texas guys were there at one time or another and would have been happy to have you join in. Shoot! You might even have gotten famous with one of them.
I missed that whole scene by a few years, about a decade, unfortunately.Not to brag, but I could have held my own, perhaps been a session guy, hired gun, at least.Not sayin' I'm the greatest, but I wasn't bad.I'm 56 now.Started going to concerts at 14, 1976/77.
Yeah! That's what I figured. You were still learning where the frets were back then youngster!
1st concert Kiss/Judas Priest September 26, 19792nd concert Ozzy Ozbourne - Diary of a Madman tour January 23, 1982 - 7 weeks before Randy Rhoads' death.
@Once-Ler I’ve got Randy tattooed on my shoulder...I’m very jealous you saw him live!
I am jealous of those who saw ACDC Live. I never did.
Venue matters One of the best concerts I've seen - Springsteen & E St Band, SJ Montgomery Theater 1977.One of the worst - Springsteen & E St Band, Oakland Coliseum 1984
Yeah, I saw Joe Cocker once. Horrible. He was so chemically altered I'm not sure he even knew where he was.
