Top Five Concerts You Attended...
-
As I mentioned earlier, we ran into Rick at lunch Tuesday.. Was good to see him and Jenda out and about but he's starting to show the miles..
right on i am glad he is still alive and well
I saw Wayne Kramer(MC5) last year and he actually looked pretty good considering all the drugs he took but he has been clean for awhile now

I asked my wife for her input on this question. She and I have not gone to a lot of concerts together as I was already like 29 when I met her, and most of my concert going days were over. Besides that, our musical tastes are a lot different. She would never deign to go to an Alice Cooper or Kiss concert. She would have preferred like the string haired folky bitches..There is one act that we could agree on and on her list this is the only one we went together to see.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash Blossom Music Center
But when she was in high school in Racine Wisc. apparently they would bring in acts to perform at the local YMCA for dances, and here are a couple of bands that she saw at what you could basically call "sock hops""
Buffalo Springfield
The McCoys
Her other two memorable ones were:
Moody Blues, she saw them in Milwaukee when she was in college.
Jimmy Buffet, saw him here after she moved here with her sister.

I was somewhere around that age. What did you not understand?

Elvis - Two weeks before he croaked.. Someone couldn't make it so I got to go see him.. The guy was a great showman.. Even with all the excess weight he had on.
Triumph - Richfield Colliseum was rocking loud that night. It was the loudest concert they ever had at 92. Decibels. My ears were still ringing 2 days later.. Great show.. Foghat and Kix opened.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Music Hall 1986 What a great show.. He broke strings on 5 of the guitars he used that night and didn't miss a beat.
Albert King - Peabodys downunder . Blues legends come and go.. But this guy was a power house and a huge influence on many including myself
Dweezil Plays Zappa - Saw him 5 years ago at the House of Blues. The son of Frank Zappa.. Talented guitarist and musician period..That band rocked. They had some chick playing Sax and she blew the doors off the place..
AC/DC - I had to add this extra one because Angus Young (lead Guitar) is the greatest showman on the planet.. He was non stop perpetual motion..This was the thunderstruck tour 91-92...
Nickers...."There are no old running QB's in the NFL "~Sam Rutigliano~ -
Just noticed the setlist link failed to make it into my above post.
Sorry 'bout that...
What I did find recently, however, is a site with a lot of dates for a lot of acts with set lists for most. It bills itself as "the setlist wiki".
Also thought of another Party on the Plaza player... Ohio native, Rick Derringer.
All American Boy still gets some play in this house.... Teenage Love Affair... The Airport Giveth... and, of course, Rock n Roll, Hoochie Koo. If memory serves, Rick wrote the latter for Johnny Winter, whose band he was in for a while. I saw them in the Pub Aud one winter... for free.
Johnny Winter And was opening for Mountain, who failed to make it to the gig due to weather, so all attendees received refunds... and got a full set of Johnny.
Pop Quiz: What was Rick's first commercially successful Band and what 60's song of theirs not only charted, but made it to #1? Hint: There's a Columbus, Ohio band that still plays it.
Later on Rick played with Edgar.
And now I want to say Edgar Winter Partied on the Plaza as well.... but not 100% sure of that... dammit.

johnny and edgar are 2 of my favorite musicians... I loved Johnnys Second Winter record that had future SRV bassist Tommy Shannon on bass...Edgar's multi versatility speaks for itself...He has been associated with great guitar players right from his brother Johnny to Doug Rappaport.. Ronnie Montrose also was on Edgars record and did Frankenstein..

footOK....top five, no real order
My mom took me to see Elvis when I was young. My first rock concert. That has to be there.
Merle Haggard. The Hag was great. I mean really great. We went to a concert here in town many 5 years ago now, a few years before Merle passed. He played for a little over 3 hours. He knew he was nearing the end. He kicked the footlights out that night. It was amazing.
Johnny Cash...the man in black. Got to respect that.
Bachman Turner Overdrive. Maybe 1975. It was more the environment, Agoura, 10 feet off center stage, we drank a lot of beer, taking care of business.
The Cleveland Orchestra puts on a good concert. I'll add them.

I was at thunderstruck at the omni in Atlanta
security let me down on the floor (made it up to 3rd or 4th row ) for a few songs and then tapped me on the shoulder (time to go back to your seat young stoner lad)
everyone i have talked to said Dweezil plays Zappa is bad ass
I saw STV on couldnt stand the weather tour in a high school gym in Laport Ind man he was kinda drunk but still just killed it
