I grew up in Chicago so that was the thing to do on the weekend
saw most everyone late 70 and 80s
Tickets were 20bucks and you had to get a T shirt (If you didn't you didn't go)

Have seen may great shows NOTHING compares to the Eric Clapton Cross Roads festivals
I was at # 2 and #3 The first one was with my Daughter Samantha got in and 9AM left a bit after midnight it was way too short
Second was with Sam Peggy and a few friends it was also great
If someone likes guitar music buy the DVDs you will be glad you did

Currently if you get a chance see Kid Rock its quite a "show" he really makes you have a good time and the MILF get pretty excited and dialed in. Some are hot some are scary. I have seen many shows few like Kidd

1.) Dwight Yoakam in 1990. He came to play that night. He walked onstage with a bottle, took a swallow, set it on the amp and repeated that throughout the night. He never got sloppy but was definitely in the mood to party. He played until someone from the venue walked onstage and told them they had to shut it down. They even played most of the album that was released later that year.

2.) Waylon in the late 80's. He said "they tell me I've played here before but this is the first time that I'll remember"

3.) Rush, multiple times.

Hopefully I'll get to add a G3 concert.

I saw Clapton 3 days after the crash. Mark Knopfler sat in.
EC played a little over 3 hours and never left the stage. When the band took their break, he stayed on stage playing SRV solos with tears running down his face. Goose bumps still...

Tom Petty played homecoming the year I graduated UA. Probably not one of the best shows I've ever seen, but it sure was fun! Admission was $12.

Went to see Delfayo Marsalis in New Orleans. His brother Wynton showed up and they jammed for hours. We were sitting at a table 20 feet away and when they took a break Wynton came and sat with us, took pictures, signed autographs and let me blow a couple notes on his trumpet. Cool Stuff. Admission was $4 with a college i.d.

Oh yeah, Pink Floyd at Georgia Tech in '94

November 1987 Motley Crue, Girls Girls Girls Tour with Guns-n-Roses opening.
No one had heard of Guns-n-Roses but we left very impressed and went and bought Appetite for Destruction. That January they skyrocketed with Welcome to the Jungle video.

Rock festival in Denver in 69 (if I remember right) three days of music and fun. Three days had 20 or so bands each I remember Creedence, Jimi H, Zappa, some gospel group, Canned Heat, Johnny Winter, 3 Dog NIght and a little 5' chick from Boulder that simply outclassed Janis J in all ways, wish I had a recording of her St James Infirmery, Candy Givens was a real talent but OD'd a year and half later.

The old football stadium was the venue had your usually himmies, biker gangs, suburban kids and adults. LEOs were fighting semi rioters in the lots trying to get in, brought out their new "fogging teargas machine" and promptly gassed everyone BUT the crowd outside.

Last set was Iron Butterfly, the stage down on the field and someone tripped the sprinklers. That shut down the electrics on stage but the drummer went on with additions to his solo on Inna Godda Devita.

:Pretty heavy experience for a 15 yo kid. 45 years later wish my memoriy was a bit better as to all who played.

Caught some great shows at the Budokan in Tokyo while we were homeported in Yokosuka in the early 70's with some shipmates. Ten Years After and Jethro Tull standout. Alvin Lee could flat out play the guitar.

Doobie Brothers with REO Speedwagon opening. This was 1974, when REO was a real rock band and not doing their teen girl crap. The Doobies closed with smoke and pyro that blew almost every hippie's mind. This was cutting edge then and the music was fantastic.

I didn't want to go to the Blue Man Group a few years ago, but my wif dragged me there. If you ever get a chance to see the Blue Man Group, do it. They are better than anything out there...

Eaqles 2013 Birmingham Spent $375 each on tickets and it was worth it. Joe Walsh is an alien. No human has enough hands to play guitar like that.

Alison Krauss and Union Station: Twice here in Huntsville. Absolutely pure voice and a band where every member could be a front man somewhere else.

AC/DC at the Gulf Coast Coliseum in Mississippi

Van Halen at the BJCC in Birmingham in 1984. Eddie Van Halen could do things on a guitar that seemed inhuman.

Journey on their Frontiers tour.

Aerosmith at the BJCC

ZZ Top saw them 3 times. Great every time.

Cool. I went to a Ozzy Osboure concert back in 1984 and saw a then not widely known opening band called Motley Crue. LOL!
