Simon & Garfunkel Bob Dylan Fleetwood Mac Led Zeppelin Aerosmith Queen The Who Kansas Bruce Springsteen Willie Nelson Anybody who went to a Led Zep concert is platinum. Aerosmith or Kansas, not so much. Kansas had one good album and was playing bars without their lead singer a few years later. Aerosmith got blown off the stage by opening bands, tough sell unless you saw a marquee performance. Joe Perry fell of the stage when I saw them.... |

Pink Floyd - '77 tour. They're were playing Animals and Wish You Were Here setlist with an encore of something from Dark Side of the Moon. I got to see the Wall in '80 but would have given anything to see them earlier.
1942 Minton's in Harlem...for a short while the house band was Diz, Bird, Monk.
King Crimson '73 tours - maybe my favorite version of the band.
Blind Melon '91 tours - one of the bands I love from the 90's but Shannon Hoon died so young. A really tight band that's only remembered for their one pop tune.
The Clash '79 tour - London calling was recorded but not yet released. Still young and raw. Would have been nice to see that.

I saw Aerosmith here in the 90s and they were great. Kansas did only put out one album that I liked, Point of No Return, but it is a great one, IMHO. I'm glad you brought this up as I goggled them and they will be here on March 30th. Woohoo! |

Woodstock was awesome...being backstage was incredible (what I remember of it)...going up in the chopper to see the huge grouping of people, tents and vans... .that is something I'll never forget. |

It's hard for me to say the top concerts that I'd like to see as I've already had what I consider to be the best concert experience ever. Actually, it was two concerts with a down day in between to travel between them.
Summer of 1986:
Tom Petty opening for Bob Dylan at Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston (Detroit), MI
Then two days later:
Tom Petty opening for Bob Dylan opening for the Grateful Dead at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, OH
The three bands only did 4 shows together and it included a set with Bob and Tom onstage with the Dead. The live album "Dylan and The Dead" was recorded at JFK Stadium out of those four shows.
Bands that I never saw live and would have liked to:
Jimi Hendrix
The Doors
The Beatles
Simon and Garfunkel
Jim Croce

I got to see Kenny Wayne Shepherd live just before he got famous. It was in a relatively small venue and he was opening for Bob Dylan. KWS blew the audience away with his guitar playing. Nobody there had ever heard of him before. Woodstock - I have a friend who still kicks himself over turning down a free ticket and ride to Woodstock. Then, again, nobody knew what Woodstock was going to turn into before it happened. |

Gotta see Prine in his prime. The Last Waltz. A relatively recent one: Jason Isbell and Frank Turner in Dallas last year. Pink Floyd on The Division Bell tour. Mark Knopfler and Bob Dylan. Changed my mind. Gonna skip Floyd and go to a GG Alin show. That ol' boy is nuts. |

Hmmm, I don’t think anyone has said the Monterey Pop Festival yet. Yeah...I lived near Monterey for 12 years, sadly after the Animals blew into town. Saw some great concerts there though and up the coast at Santa Cruz Cocoanut grove. I left out my real time capsule list...I saw so many great concerts...from Ray Price at the Little Britches rodeo, to Uriah Heep, Zeppelin, Who, Knasas as a Kansan in the 70's, Who's Tattoo You tour, Richie Blackmore, recently saw Alan Parsons. Waayy too many to remember...wish I could revisit them all. I did like the music of the Greatful dead, the deadheads with the stinky body/ musk oil or whatever the hell it was, I could do without though...seeing them mob a 7-11 at 2 am and ransack the place was too much for me...I don't like thieves....smelly goats. Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs tour, deserves an honorable mention, as does Todd Rundgren... both were badass. Saw the Moody blues at theRedrocks concert in Colorado.... Luckier than I deserve. Drove a rig for a leg of the Bruce Springsteen tour... talented guy, but thoroughly unimpressed... quite the prima Donna. |

I would love to have seen Vladimir Horowitz's American debut, Chopin performing at a salon, JS Bach performing at services, Gustav Mahler conducting in Vienna or New York, and Mozart conducting Die Zauberflote.
I was fortunate to hear Horowitz live twice, Rudolf Serkin, Artur Rubinstein, and several other amazing masters of the keyboard in concert.
I also enjoyed Pete Seeger, The Mamas and the Papas, Peter Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkle, Joan Baez and Harry Chapin together, The Who, The Chiefains, K D Lang and a host of other artists performing a memorial concert for Roy Orbison where Bob Dylan just showed up unannounced and started jamming with everyone, and many, many, others.

Five (6) to go back to:
Michael Shieve w/ Santana at Woodstock.
Papa Jo Jones w/ Count Basie and the All-American Rhythm Section
John Bonham w/ Led Zeppelin
Lowell George w/ Little Feat
Duane Allman w/ The Allman Brothers
Robert Palmer w/ The Power Station
I’m truly grateful to have grown up in Austin when it really was the live music capital of the world.
By 13 I was going out to local shows with my older brother; acts like early Jerry Jeff Walker, Ike & Tina Turner, ZZ Top, Carlos Montoya, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
I got to attend a real drum clinic in Jr High and meet and receive instruction from Buddy F’n Rich and Ed Shaughnesy.
The summer of ‘73 we hit Willie Nelson’s 1st Annual 4th of July Picnic. Doug Sahm, Kris & Rita, Charlie Rich, John Prine, Leon Russell.
The Armadillo was a 10 minute drive and at 14 I was down there about 3 nights a week in the basement gameroom and catching whatever shows I could sneak into. I got in major trouble for sneaking out one time, but I wasn’t about to miss Little Feat and Van Morrison.
In 1976 my buddy’s brother was a janitor at the Communicationd Building at UT, and for about 2 years was getting us the free pass tickets to all the early Austin City Limits shows.
We ran to Dallas for some band called Derek and the Dominos, Houston for Dylan’s Night of the Hurricane at the Astrodome, San Antonio for Doug Sahm at West Side chicano bars (as gringos, we only got away with it was out of their respect for Sir Doug!).
We hit all the “Arena Rock” shows that came through.
In the early ‘80s we spent a lot of time at Woody’s house. He was my brother’s brother-in-law. Woody’s backyard neighbors were Townes Van Zandt and Jeanene (his future wife). Lots of people passed through that back gate; Guy Clark, Lucinda Williams, and Nanci Griffith.
Hundreds of shows over the years and I’m fortunate to still be around to see Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band later tonight, my fifth time since 1976.

The Clash '79 tour - London calling was recorded but not yet released. Still young and raw. Would have been nice to see that. The Clash was in Austin then & showed up with Joe Ely at the Continental Club. My buddy’s band was on set and stepped outback so The Clash could blast a few songs. Joe Stummer was kicking stuff around and banging Mark’s guitar into stuff. I stood up & my brother asked where I was going. My response was, “I’m going to kick that little SOB’s arse.” It took bother Bob and 3 others to hold me back. I liked their music, but that little SOB just about got a Texas asswhoopin. |

A concert I was glad not to have attended is The Rolling Stones at Altamont.
They hired the Hell’s Angels for crowd security.... yeah, what could go wrong?
It was funny reading Sonny Barger’s book about the incident, the stones were pretty freaked out when they realized how bad, them bad boys were.
