I dunno, lots more rock shows from the 70s and 80s that I can't remember.

BB Spin.
Veruca Salt.
The Pretenders.
Rockpile.
Blondie.
Dave Edmunds.
The Swimming Pool Qs.
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones.
Dr John.
Ray Charles.


I haven't been to a proper show in years. Most of these were 72 through maybe 97. I try to catch the Pocono Blues Festival every year, but I've missed it probably 4 years in a row now.

edit: Tony Bennet, twice; The Moody Blues; The Tubes; Jorma Kaukonen; ZZTop.

Man, someone here saw Gary Stewart! What a phenomenal, uncompromising talent. I was really sad when he died. I'd just picked up his latest live CD.

Memorable shows that I missed for some stupid reason: Never saw The Who, Springsteen, Pink Floyd, some others.

I used to live a block from The Decade, a little club in Pittsburgh. That's where I saw scores of bands when they were first starting out; I saw The Pretenders there right when their first album hit. Anyhow, The Iron City Houserockers were the house band, and they'd toured with Bruce Springsteen. The Boss was in town and rumor was that he was going to stop in and visit. I was beat from a long day at work, checked in, left early. Bruce showed up around midnight and played for two hours. In a club about the size of a minimart.

I'm not sure Gary would have remembered that show. He was definitely "drinking double" that night, but it was a great show none the less. It was at Cowboy City on Jacksboro Highway outside Ft.Worth. A prototypical honkytonk about 1 notch above "dive" status. Excellent venue to see an old fashioned country act. We used to call it Cowgirl City, for good reason... plenty to pick from. It's a tractor dealership now.

A couple I forgot to mention:
Kentucky Headhunters
Rossinton - Collins Band
J Geils Band
Kenny Starr (sang "You Never Even Called Me By My Name a/k/a The Perfect Country Song" on stage with him):cool:
Charlie Pride
Gary P. Nunn
Jerry Jeff Walker

The only live concert I've ever seen is the Bananna Splitz, and that's because I was one of the
Fa La La... La La La.La... child backup singers...along with my buddy, Nuke.

Up til now I've kept silent about Fleegle, Beegle and the rest, but I was there as these freaks sodomized Nuke over and over again.. It was worse than a weekend at Never Never Land with Michael Jackson and the JBs, but it wasn't as bad as living in Texas.

etc.  i know there more...but im pretty cashed.  ill have to add on as i think of them.

oh. i saw buckwheat zydeco too in kansas city.

currently go to see dred clampit play at the red bar every sunday afternoon.    great times always.  jabbo starks plays there nights.  (old funk legend...used to play for james brown)  

from modern drummer....

"But to say that Brown invented the funk sinzle-handedIv would make Jabo Starks and Clvde Stubblefield… well… break out in a cold sweat. As with most innovations, JB’s funk wasn’t cre ated in a vacuum. A thorough listen to the JB two-CD set Soul Pride: The Instrumentals 1960-1969 attests to this. Prior to the arrival of Starks and Stubblefield, witty drummers such as Melvin Parker, Nat Hendricks, and James Brown himself played slippery ruffs and irregular beats that resemble the funk we know. But with Jabo's appearance on "New Breed," the groove became more agitated and assured. The drummer's popping snare drum and fatter bass drum foot lent the music greater authority and drive than on previous tracks. On "Jabo," Starks' steely style is joyous, driving the band with glee."

concert all the time.
