Title: Top 5 Favorite shows I've attended by decade
Post by: SPARX on March 11, 2007, 02:06:00 am
70s
 
 1 Clash - Ritchie Coliseum 79
 
 2 Devo - Merriweather Post 79
 
 3 Stones - Cleveland Stadium  78
 
 4 Utopia Legend Valley Ohio 79
 
 5 Kiss Johnstown War Memorial 74
 
 80s
 
 1 Dead Kennedy's - Underground Railroad 85
 
 2 Butthole Surfers - old 930 club 84?
 
 3 u2 - Ritchie Coliseuem 83
 
 4 PIL - Ontario Theatre
 
 5 Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands Tour in Pittsbugh
 
 honorable mention Stranglers at Ritchie, Psych Furs at Ontario, Rem's 1st 930 show. Dream Syndicate @ 930 Police @ Painters Mill 80
 
 90s
 
 1 First Lolla at Lake Fairfax
 
 2 GBV - Morgantown
 
 3 Lou Reed -  too many to pick from
 
 4 Neds Atomic Dustbin - WUST
 
 5 Iggy @ Hammerjacks (or was that 89)
 
 00s
 
 1 Flaming Lips - Fletchers
 
 2 Warlocks - Black Cat
 
 3 Spiritualized with BRMC 930 club
 
 4 Brian Jonestown Massacre Rock @ Roll Hall of Fame
 
 5 GBV w/ Strokes Black Cat
 
 That was much harder than I originally thought. I'm sure I'm shamelessly excluding  some incredible shows due to memory loss. The Cramps deserve a slot somewhere in there for sure. Anybody else wanna try to jog their memories?

Too much hair for ya?    ;)    It was either that show, Buffalo Tom the first time I saw and  met them at 930  on the Come On Over tour or a Residents show at Constitution hall. Ned's were high energy, I certainly was saddened when they called it a day. I've noticed they have played select shows in Europe in the last few years though. Narrowing it down to 5 a decade is a challenge to say the least.

How could I have forotten Daniel Ash's hissy fit at the Patriot center. I think an early Janes Addiction may have opened that one. Nice list, would've loved to have caught the Suicide and Screaming Blue Messiahs shows. All Ramones shows I've seen should also be included. It's tough to narrow down. Bauhaus first reunion tour was a great 930 show as well. I caught that Bowie tour at Hampton Roads.

Man, you guys (or gals as the case may be) have seen some great shows.  I lived in a town that wasn't on any major or minor rock tour route.  Only four of the bands listed made it though my neck of the woods. Thankfully, DC most of the bands I like get to DC once in awhile.

Damn.  I thought I had seen some nice lil' shows.  But the one some of y'all caught are like WHOA! I am officially in envy thus far of the following shows:
 
 The Clash. Say no more.
 
 Pumpkins/Chili Peppers/Pearl Jam @ AU (What the fuck? At the same show?!)
 
 Springsteen/R.E.M./Fogerty (Once again . . . At the same show?!)
 
 Prince & The Time (Seen 'em both separately, together would have been mind-blowing)
 
 AC/DC.  I've been waiting to cross them off my list for some time now.  Aside of R.E.M. (Not sure I care anymore) & Springsteen, I think they're the only legendary group I haven't seen yet. Once I get done with The Stooges in a couple weeks, of course.   :D   Aside of Pink Floyd (which won't happen) & Zeppelin (ditto)
 
 In order to avoid disrespecting this thread, and more importantly being shown up by the excellence in this thread, I have to go home & dig through my concert stubs.  I'll get back to you . . . . .
Title: Re: Top 5 Favorite shows I've attended by decade
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on March 12, 2007, 10:54:00 am
Pumpkins/Chili Peppers/Pearl Jam
 
 I won tickets on a college radio station in upstate NY for this show. It either speaks for my lack of music-savvy friends, or for the lameness of my company, but I couldn't find anybody to go with me for free.
 
 Both PJ and Smashing Pumpkins were new relatively unknown bands at the time, so not like you were getting three major bands on the package. I arrived late and heard only the end of PJ's set. Must say, it didn't sounds half bad at the time. That was the only time I've ever seen PJ. Smashing Pumpkins were next. I had bought their first album when it came out, but live they sucked. Maybe it was the hockey arena, I don't know. But sitting through them was nearly unbearable. And finally, the RHCP played. I had seen them before in a crowded, sweaty, moshpit having, standing only gymnasium, and the show was excellent. But at a seated hockey arena, they sucked. And I left well before they finished.
 
 So while this show has big name recognition, to me it sucked. But maybe at AU it was better.

It was one of the "Vote For Change" shows.  Someone else was there too (Bright Eyes maybe?) but I missed them.  
 
 AC/DC was one of the (many) shows I had a hard time cutting from my 80's list.

Not the DAR show, are you?  He tossed 4 acoustics that night, and one group hug on stage (looked like the stage lighting would occasionally just "go out" and that pissed him off).
 
 Pixies opened, and Black Francis said "This song is our soundcheck", so it seems that L&R were really hosing everyone.

Man, I'm a youngster compared to most of you.  My first show was in 1990. >_>  I didn't go to all that many shows in the 90s (growing up in southern PA made that difficult), so picking five of them is easy.  I decided immediately that a 2000s top five would be too difficult, tried for a top ten, and ended up with a top fifteen.     :)

This is hard, and remembering the decade is tough:
 
 70s
 1979 (it is on his website!) Barry Louis Polisar - my elementary school
 
 80s
 86 - Jesus and Mary Chain & 9353, College Park, Psychocandy tour.
 
 1988 (?) - Butthole Surfers & Government Issue - College Park (Hairway tour, two drummers), got to meet King Koffee...
 
 (1988?) Janes Addiction - old 930 club, Nothing Shocking tour.  What was shocking was how short they are.
 
 87-88ish - Love and Rockets and The Mighty Lemon Drops (think this was their second Warner show).  
 
 The Go-Betweens - 930 club - either of their two times I saw them there, but when it was with the guy the Replacements sang about, he played too long and pissed us off.  (not sure I would now really want to see him or not).
 
 90s
 
 92- My Bloody Valentine, Buffalo Tom, Mercury Rev (with David Baker) - Hammerjacks.  
 
 90 - Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Geek - The Citadel.  So many other Fugazi shows that I could put down.
 
 93-4 (?) - The Orb at the old 930.  Real drummer and bassist.  I gave Ed my ticket stub so I can't remember exact dates...
 
 95ish (?) - Stone Roses - WUST - they were to play at Georgetown, but Ian had a hissyfit and tried to break the stained glass and push the PA off stage (according to the Georgetown Electrician), so the show was moved to WUST where there were no seats and so people could dance.
 
 Love and Rockets - Lift tour - 930 and Bohagers.
 
 00s
 
 Sigur Ros - 930 (?? year).  I was sick with the flu but they were worth dragging my sick butt out.
 
 Gomez - In Our Gun tour - Seen them before and since, but this show they were top form and killer.
 
 Chemical Brothers - 930 - (was it 2001, 2000, I forget).
 
 Fugazi- Fort Reno, their last one.  They just rocked out.
 
 Comets on Fire - 2004/5?- Ottobar.  It was so much fun to watch those who were "dragged along" jump back three feet when they started.  I guess it was the "oh they are a hippie jam band" until the explosion of noise.

 I can't believe you got to catch Jaco P. live with Joni Mitchell!...Greatest bass player of all time....my regret, I never saw him in person.
 
 I left The Jam show in '82 off my list,probably cause the sound was pretty terrible....it was great otherwise....

WOW! Other than seeing Starz with a different band in Johnstown, we were at the same shows! Sure was hot @ Legend Valley that day. Fortunately it looks like you missed a very bad opener to an otherwise grat day of music in Zanesville. The 1st band was a Robert Plant wannabe fronting a band called Roadmaster. Yes, In The Round, correct?

WOW! Other than seeing Starz with a different band in Johnstown, we were at the same shows! Sure was hot @ Legend Valley that day.

 yup, roadmaster (from ohio, right? -lucky band that day) opening at legend valley and yes was in the round. i remember people burning a car in the crazy LV parking lot scene afterwards. LV was a long hot day indeed; i remember one of the people i went with was soooo tanked and shroomed in the heat that he would pass out in between bands and start right up again full speed when the next band started; hooting, hollerin' and jumping up and down until each successive passout.
 
 when i saw your original list i knew i had to post, but it took me a few days to actually narrow shit down and remember dates. it's great to run into someone who went to some of my first concerts ever; acid, pot and alcohol everywhere, festival seating at many shows (until the who in ohio), wide open radio programming, $5-$10 big name shows you slept out in real lines for real tickets, LOL!

Glad you did. Those were some great shows. I thought more board regulars would post theirs but it is tough to narrow down and dates get blurry for sure. I'd love to see what you ALL on board enjoyed most. Brings back great memories!!!
