[Birdman]

Aerosmith and Steppenwolf

Dec 10, 1975 New Haven Coliseum

The Wolf sucked, Aero OK....New Haven Coliseum sucks for sound

 

[Birdman]

Now that was a band.

Talking about Deep Purple in 75

Not really... Coverdale on vocals can't compare to Ian Gillian. Blackmore gone with Rainbow...Tommy Bolin on lead. Stormbringer album pretty good but Come Taste the Band weak. Last album of whole group was Burn in 74 after Who Do We Think We Are (Woman From Tokyo). Three prior albums pure awesome power with selected cuts on a Live 2 LP recorded in Tokyo

Blushing to say I don't remember which was my first concert.

Started going to them in 1977 when my younger brother got a gig working as an usher for the company that provided such services for most major concerts in DFW, TX

The smell of pot was SO STRONG coming from the doobies in my hands.

In that first year saw Styx, KISS, Led Zep, Aerosmith

Oh and I got some of my first nookie the night I took my semi-Christian (heh) girlfriend to see Bread

 

[barman]

Actually do recall that two of the aforementioned bands played on same bill in 1977.

Styx OPENED for KISS with a relatively unknown CHEAP TRICK starting the whole thing off.

Boy, those were the days. Like five hours of concert for maybe $15

 

[barman]

Great to see the old-timers in this thread....great music from the 50's,60's, and 70's....just read an article on Yahoo that Charlie from the Rolling Stones is in rehab...incredible

Holy cow....That jacks him up a couple notches in My Greatest Heroes list....

 

[barman]

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood enters rehab, not Charlie Watts

Okay, so now Ronnie is tied with Charlie on My List

 

[barman]

Ted Nugent was certainly a hell of a live rocker back before he went Utterly Batshit Insane.....

Now lives in Waco fucking Texas and writes a twice a month column for the local newspaper with themes like, "Summer of Love Children Destroying America"

 

[billsfan]

Bon Jovi/Skid Row/Winger.....Silver Stadium, Rochester, NY (1989)....

GO RAYS!!

 

[BadCo]

Dan Hicks and His Hotlicks in 1971.

Anybody ever heard of these guys?

Only because they were on ABC's late night in concert shows they used to have.

Remember Dwight Hicks and his hot licks?

Dwight played on the other side of the field with Ronnie Lott and I would venture to guess Chris Berman came up with that very early on in his career.

 

[celticGreen+]

Pink Floyd, Division Bell tour... At Foxboro Stadium (ya, it was f'in COLD). I think I was 14 or so.

 

[GoSooners]

The funnest concert that I've ever attended was by a band called Southern Culture On The Skids..The entire time they played they threw Kentucky Fried Chicken out to the audience..Along with the music, everybody got a free meal.

 

[FuriousDrew]

Our Lady Peace sometime in the 90s. Great concert and great Canadian band

Our Lady Peace sometime in the 90s. Great concert and great Canadian band

Saw them at a free show here in Boston when I was in highschool, probably '97 or so... And then again when I was at college in the Erie PA. They are very good.

 

[cutacrossshorty]

1967 -- The headliner's were Pete Seeger & Arlo Guthrie at the Commonwealth Armory in Boston (right next to Braves field. Currently the site of Agganis Arena). The opening act was the Jefferson Airplane!

 

[charliepeete]

back in the late 60's or early 70' saw every concert alice cooper did in deeeeeeeeeeeeetroit michigan..........even his first one sponser by wabx that was held at the roostertail venue.................:nohead:

 

[wilheim]

Counting only big name rockers.

I attedended a Jimi Hendrix concert back in 1969 near Frankfurt Germany while I was stationed there. I also (believe it or not) saw Janis Joplin in the same concert hall a few months after seeing Hendrix. The place is still there and is called Jahrhunderthalle (translates from German to 100 year hall in English) seats several thousand people for a concert if I recall.

JANUARY 17, 1969 - JAHRHUNDERTHALLE FRANKFURT, GERMANY

Jahrhunderthalle

FWIW - Janis Joplin along with her new band at the time called The Kozmic Blues Band, put on a better show..

Sadly both were dead from overdoses within 2 years or so from those concerts.

wil.


PS. Also saw Ray Charles at the same hall, Billy Preston was his lead in act.
