more. Oh well, I did see some good ones though .

I saw him with R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders, playing to the music, but he had a tremendous one man show.

Peter Gabriel and Squeeze are still on my bucket list.

Not a complete list by any means, this is just off the top of my head.

Twice in the 70s before I even met my wife.
She was very envious so we ended up seeing him 3 more times together.
Of course, I reminded her that as long as we were both going she was never going to catch up!

When the "warm up" was a screening of the Andalusian Dog?

In fact, that may have been the tour that had no Chicago dates.
Pretty sure I saw Aladdin Sane & Heroes in the 70s.
In the 80s, we missed Serious Moonlight but saw Glass Spider & 2 other tours.

(saw Hendrix)

I had front row seats... they canceled the stop.

Canceled it a day & a half before the show.
We did see Trower though. Aragon Ballroom 1975.

They were on the bill to open for Mott The Hoople.
Brian May contracted hepatitis in the early part of the US tour, so Queen had to bail on all the dates.
They replaced them with Kansas. I think you can envision how that went over with the glam fans. (Disastrous after Kerry Livgren insulted the audience for not being more enthusiastic. It got BRUTAL after he did that.)
At least Mott put on a great show.

we could have found a way to see The Screamers.

The Tikkis

I am a fanatic of the synth music genre.
The Screamers were early on the scene.

Interesting fact, the band had no guitars.

Tikki

Missed it. Same with the Pretenders but did see them later.

Concert I would have liked to have seen would be Iron Butterfly doing In A Godda Da Vida

My old bands.

I mean, I only ever saw videotapes and TV appearances, but I never got to experience the entire thing live.

It would have been nice to find out if we were worth a crap or not... ya know?

I was wishing that I could attend the concert.

I wish I would have see Queen.

I realized I was the same age. Most of the people in the bowling alley came into the bar to watch. Interesting memory.

that I had saved up for for weeks with my pittance of an allowance, which was more often than not withheld from me for some imagined infraction or another. On the night of the concert, the evil step-father refused to drive me because he was an asshole of gigantic proportions. I knew better than to ask my mother because there would be hell to pay from him and she wouldn't have done it anyway.

they played on my high school football field.

I snuck onto the field without a ticket and got thrown out.

I walked the two blocks home and sat in my bedroom with the window opened. I could hear the concert perfectly!

Now I'm kind of glad I didn't see them.

Maybe the evil-stepfather knew something I didn't know. Nah, he was just being a jerk as always.

My previous concerts were Herman's Hermits, The Cowsills and Paul Revere and the Raiders. BST was the first band I liked that wasn't geared toward the teenybopper crowd.

My first boyfriend's and my song was "More and More!" Ha!

Or was it "You've Made me so Very Happy"????? I don't remember "More and More" being a radio song. Whatever. It was one of the two.

Great minds think alike indeed!

I had pictures of Mark Lindsay all over my bedroom walls. I got them from all those teenybopper magazines, Sixteen, Tiger Beat, etc.

Those were the days, my friend.....

More sorry you had to live with such terrible cicumstances!

Or are you being facetious? I don't know; it's late.

I survived, that's the main thing.

I'm sorry if i gave that impression! 😔

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it.

When they were new and influential.

I've seen both bands in this century, Kraftwerk several times.

Also Roxy Music would have been great to see, and Talking Heads in their heyday. I've seen David Byrne and Brian Ferry live in the last 20 years, but when they were new and influential would have been excellent.

but then the pandemic happened, shows postponed, and they finally had them in 2022 but the dates didn't work for me. Now Morten has Parkinson's so I'm sure that was the last chance to see him, even if the rest of the band performs. Really wish I could've seen him live.

since that was earlier yesterday I forgot...

Concert going was usually a lucky thing for me, seeing all my favorites and others. Helps being in one of the most major cities.

(if you didn't see my post my favorites, and a few others, out of another about 200 performers )
The Beatles, The Who, Bruce, U2, almost all the Original CBGBs bands, C;S,N&Y, Midnight Oil, S&G, The Stones, Bowie, Janis.

Yeah, I can't remember exactly sometime in April last year I realized after the awfulness of him being reelected; and bc I tend to keep up with news local, national, world - I had to give myself "days off". Even avoiding DU on the chance I accidentally see something.

But I think I might try it ondays off obviously going only to the Lounge, the science, or cultural type stuff and see if I can not accidently see the u-kmkw-who stuff. I will consider it an experiment!

Stevie Nicks/Sheryl Crow
Madonna multiple times
Scott Weiland
Courtney Love
Smashing Pumpkins
Billy Corgan Solo
Beck
Lady GaGa
Tori Amos
Magdalena Bay
St Vincent
Nine Inch Nails
Yes

Is always battling in my mind as my favorite album.

And the big festival at Monterey (before Woodstock). CSNY. Hendricks. And Fleetwood Mac.

I had tickets to see Led Zepplin and they cancelled the show!

Groups/people I so wish I could have seen live -
Beatles
Paul McCartney and Wings
Led Zeppelin
Tom Petty
Stevie Ray Vaughn

...her songs made up about 20% of my set list.

Her open tuning always blew my mind and I riffed on a bunch of them.

up close and personal in small venues.

I couldn't wish for more or better.

The Moody Blues would have been my choice for a concert extraordinaire.

Always regretted my missed opportunity to see them on their Thick as a Brick tour. A friend offered me a ticket, but I (a nerdy teen) made the mistake of asking my parents if I could go and they adamantly refused permission. Should have gone and let them ground me afterward… by all accounts it was a fantastic show. F*k!!

Would also have loved to see the New York Dolls in their heyday… and the B-52s…
(And many others I’m not thinking of at present.)
