Fish Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Bob Seger was the first big name band I saw.There was a time when Bob had a great gig and a really good band.I recall very little now but remember the sax player was right in front of me and the guy changed my opinion of a saxamophone in a rock band.After that it was one every few weeks from Aerosmith to ZZ Top until about 78-9 then I cut back to a few a year. Since someone mentioned the best show ever,I saw the "British are Coming" "Arms Concert"in Dallas,Beck/Clapton/Cocker/Page/Winwood/Watts/Wyman/Andy"fairweather'Lowe/Ronni Lane/drummer from the Who/that crazy old cat that plays all kinds of percussions and several others.For sure a once in a lifetime show,I still have my T-Shirt.

colterphoto1 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Kenny Jones (from Who and others) and Ray Cooper (percussion dude)?. That must have been an awesome show. The Jimmy Page section from that was fabulous! I have it on VHS here somewhere! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Had a chance to get both ARM's tapes 1+2, I didn't get them, thought about it, went back the next day to get them, gone, have never seen them again. Wanted the Jeff Beck tape, that slippery devil doesn't like to be filmed, not much Jeff Beck available................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Thanks Michael,I couldn't think of those two names off the top of my head for some reason.You're right the dude's name was Ray Cooper on percussion.He's been guest with countless bands(as I'm sure you know)and he stole the show for a little while,he's a wild man.

You're right about Beck,he's never suffered over-exposure.He did do a great set,even sang a number,it's no wonder he don't sing much although it was fun.

sputnik Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The first big concert I saw was Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie at Red Rocks near Denver in the early seventies. Red Rocks has to be one of the coolest concert venues in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Red Rocks is a very cool venue. I was there shortly after U2 played there. Too bad I missed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 A buddy of mine is heading out there tomorrow for concerts - Rat Dog I think, one of the Grateful Dead bands. That is a very cool photo! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 It's good to see that I'm not the last living YES fan. I was disappointed to miss the 35th Anniversary Tour; but, have the DVD. My older brother got me hooked on Yes--we listened to Close to the Edge on his new 8-Track player. Definately in my Top Four of all time--along with Queen, Pink Floyd, (1970's) REO.

garymd Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I saw YES in 1978; they had a circular, rotating stage. I have tickets to see Roger Waters performing Dark Side of the Moon this fall. Who have you seen the most? For me: The Guess Who...three times and REO Speedwagon...three times. Saw the Grateful Dead about 250 times.
