Music Moments

[RabBell]

Everyone has heard about those amazing concerts or moments in music that must have been amazing to be at. Memorable, life changing perhaps. The music moments I would have killed to be at would be

The Sun Records tours of the deep south of the USA in the 50's - you would have heard Elvis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others.

Queen live at Wembley - though my dad seen them in the 70's in Glasgow and he said it was something else. The greatest rock band of all time for me.

Kiss live - Anytime, anyplace, that must have been one hell of a show. Not now though, when they were at their peak.

Elvis's comeback Vegas show - the ultimate performer

How about you?

Thin Lizzy's last show with Phil Lynott...

Shows I wish I'd seen:
Nirvana, before Kurt Cobain killed himself
Joy Division, ditto for Ian Curtis
Skinny Puppy, back when they were huge and Ogre wan't burnt out
Johnny Cash, before he died
Haight-Ashbury, 1969
Mayhem, before the original members murdered each other

Ones that I actually saw:
Pantera's last show at the Hampton Coliseum
Haujobb live in Baltimore
Metallica show (black album tour) that I snuck my friends into.

THE BEATLES. Any time, any place.

Yeah I would love to have seen The Beatles. Also I'd love to see Queen. Rush twenty years ago just for the hell of it.

Any Frank Zappa gig.

I love the beatles but I'm not sure about seeing them live. I mean they did stop touring in 1964 and were pretty much a studio band after that (nothing wrong with that, just that seeing them live wouldn't have been up to much...just my thinking on it)

Defintely would love to have seen Johnny Cash live. While he was working on his last albums (the covers called American Hero) he played live sets in small bars in LA during the late 90's. That would have been amazing.

Would love to have seen him at San Quentin as well but only if I could have been a guard as opposed to an inmate.

nirvana - seeing them live...never did.
skinny puppy - at their height
the mad capsule markets - at their height (not sure if they are still touring)
hi-standard - they only did a few albums and only for a handful of years
dir en grey - not sure if they tour canada
metallica - back in the master of puppets days
korn - back when the family values tour was still cool
fear factory - back when obsolete was released and dino was still playing.

The Velvet Underground.
The Sex Pistols.
The Who, circa 1973.

nobody, I did see Rush about twenty years ago, on the "Grace Under Pressure" tour.
