All the Cconcerts you can ‘Remember’ Attending?


Despite my age of 24 I am a fan of music from older generations I have made it a goal to see and hear all the pioneers of the music history while I still can … Before artists stop performing ..touring ..or pass on to Rock and Roll Heaven. Another mantra of mine is to see as much variety as possible. While I have not had the opportunity to see any of these classic rockers in their prime I have been more than thankful to be their audience and have taken something away from every performance.

Making a list and seeing it on paper brought back great memories and emotions! What shows have you seen so far in your lifetime ?

My list: (in no specific order) (does not include many small club shows..too many to remember ..or not remember!)

Just the thought of listing this stuff, is more work than I want to undertake. I will say this, though. The best concert I ever went to: perhaps you're heard of it, was Woodstock. Saw it from Richie Haven's first stum on the guitar to Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangle Banner. What can I say? Great memories to this day. peace, warren
I still have most of my ticket stubs going back to 1971 (Filmore East Juthro Tull, one week before Aqualung release $3.50); Shafer Music Concerts in Central Park (Wolmonth ice skateing rink)$1.75; and 1971-72 concerts in Gailic Park (Riverdale section of the Bronx)$5.00, became friends with head of security and resold tickets collected at gate split money and received stage passes. some of those shows include Yes (2x);Black Oak Arkansas,Black Sabbath,Alice Copper (all in one show);Black Sabbath again; Mountain (Felix Papparandi? came from this neighborhood too); Beck,Bougart&Appice (advertised as the Jeff Beck Group); Moody Blues; Fleetwood Mac;Altman Brothers (2 different concerts in one day the other being Dust and Flash free WNEW-FM show in Prospect Park, Brooklyn). note some of these group weren't even headliners. Led Zepplin (2x); Pink Floyd (4x); Yes (10x); Genesis (5x);etc... However the best shows were later after this dinosaur rock became stagnete and started going to clubs (in Greenwich Village). That's will be another post. Got to go home to retrived the other 500? shows.To be 18-19 again. Peace, Love & Happiness. Rich
Yes, those Central Pk. shows were great, $2.00 and $1.50 a ticket(bought my tickets at E.J. Korvettes),great groups ,good vibes, and you could even watch for free from the rock mountain surrounding the concert area.I remember Slade, Golden Earring(radar love),the Tubes ,and many others.Wish I could go back to that TIME now !!
