JJkizak Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I still think that original LZ drummer was one of the best of all time, the heart and soul of the band and I'm not even a drummer guru. JJK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 One of my best concert moments was Queen, around 1982, center stage, about the 6th row. They played Tie Your Mother Down, they were all in tune and they sounded incredible!!! The first time i met Brian May, when i came home I picked up a guitar to see if i could play better after shaking his hand….I still sounded like me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian is definitely rock royalty. Just curious…did you meet these bands because of your job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 18, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm not a big Michael Jackson guy, but watched this when it first aired...he knew how to put on a show. I saw that when it aired live well, by a fluke. He has played two sings with his brothers came out by himself and said he loved the memories of playing the "old" songs with his brothers but he liked doing new stuff too, and he launched into that song. It launched his album and his tour, it was a "come back" for him and revealed how multi-talented he was. Everyone was trying to moonwalk in the days and weeks that followed that show, some better than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintoracer Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I think I'm going to have a new favorite performance after April 8, 2016. I managed to get tickets for David Gilmour in Chicago. Really excited to see this show because he is only doing four shows in North America. Anyone else here on the forum going? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bring the flasks. I haven't been to a show at a large venue in years. Most recently The House of Blues for Robin Trower and Led Zep2 a LZ tribute band. Beers there were like 5 or 7 bucks for a 24 ounce can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago was the closest for me! I would love to make the show in California. Just too damn far to go for a concert!!!! 700 miles vs. 1400. I'll take 700.

tnr Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 My most memorable show was The Marshall Tucker Band at NIU's Fieldhouse, front row, in 1981. They made us feel like they were performing and partying with us. I've posted this in RTM recently, but here is my collage from the show with pics taken from my friends and I. At that time there was no one between us and the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it is going to be March--and the Hollywood Bowl is an outdoor venue…let’s just hope that we have typical SoCal weather and not some freak cold spell or worse yet … water falling from the sky (ok, that never happens around here). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MookieStl Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Best performance I saw live was Marshall Tucker w/ Charlie Daniels at the Mississippi River Festival @ SIUE (Edwardsville IL) doing 24 Hours at a Time. Not sure how great it actually was, but it floored me at the time. (1979 ish) Thanks for the Heart video doing Stairway to Heaven, never saw if before and it was excellent. As for video live performances, this one stood out to me last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toSWIFioFmw Bruno Mars doing a tribute to Amy Winehouse.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted July 19, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2015 Wardsweb shared this photo with me today. The couple on the Woodstock album cover 40 years later. I have in mind that it was their performance of a lifetime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
