Let's Talk Concerts / Performers

Got to give my buddy Danny a plug....shared a few brews with him over the years. A great entertainer and a good beer drinker who played beer drinking music.

The greatest performer I ever seen was a guy named Westside Steve.

let's see if I can recall everybody... I may amend this as my memory clears.
I saw the Youngbloods, The Who 3 times with Keith Moon, Simon and Garfunkel, Jethro Tull, Ian Anderson, Lenny and the Squigtones, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Asia, the Moody Blues twice, actually once but I'm going back soon, Alice Cooper 5 times, Chuck Berry, Procol Harum twice, the Kinks, Taj Mahal, crosby Stills and Nash, Steeleye Span, The Chieftains, Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, Lesley Gore, Eric Clapton, Gabriel, the Producers,Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr,not to mention the choir, the raspberries and Eric Carmen etc..
When I was in Easy Street we opened for the Michael Stanley band, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes 3 times, Artful Dodger, Head East, Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Gowan, 38 special, and we're joined on stage by Pat Travers (boom boom out go the lights) in Cleveland and Dallas. Also after his show at Public Hall meatloaf stopped in to the Cleveland Agoura and SAT in with the band for nearly an hour.
I may think of more.

PS Eric Clapton had Mark Knopfler on second guitar and if I'm not mistaken Phil Collins on drums.

Love Jethro Tull unfortunately saw them the first time in 1994 and Ian Anderson had already lost his voice but man do they fucking rock. Locomotive Breath is an all-time rock anthem
-
For some reason this song popped into my head this morning. Must be doing a brain rearrange of music.
-
I once got to see Alice Cooper. He hung himself on stage. Then he cut his head off with a guillotine.
After 200+ shows, nothing tops that
The lasers and video at Pink Floyd were better, but the ACTUAL stage stuff was unbeatable
-
I saw Alice Cooper but it was at rib cook off so nothing crazy. Still it was pretty cool.
