Nope, saw them at Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, NY as a teen. Must have been early to mid-80's. Disappointingly, it was during a stage when they were touring without makeup.

I also just realized there may not be 10 people on this board who are interested in playing this game. Maybe a player gets another guess after a 10 minute timeout?

And yes, I saw this on FB.

Queen

You probably have a list somewhere of all the concerts I've ever mentioned attending.  ;)

Queen it is indeed. Other than Johnny Cash, Queen is probably the band I would have chosen to see over any of the other bands on that list. I remember them playing for about six bucks when I was a young teen, and my parents didn't let me go, still sad about it. (finally when Ozzy came to town, they allowed me to go to my first show).

Also, saw Soundgarden open for Living Colour at the QE2 Club in Albany, NY 1988(?).

You're up.

Speaking of the Dead and upstate NY, I remember seeing ASIA when their second album came out, at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, in 1983. Also on the calendar that summer were Neil Young, Talking Heads, and Grateful Dead, on separate nights at the same venue. But my 16 year old self elected to see Asia and skip the other shows.

Iron Maiden
Iron Butterfly
Black Uhuru
Megadeth
The Rolling Stones
Circle Jerks
Wang Chung
Yngwie Malmsteen
Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Molly Hatchet


Maiden and Black Uhuru definitely seem like GGW bands. I'm going to guess that you've seen VV, because it's sort of random to put in on the list if you haven't seen him. So I'll guess Megadeth.

I have no idea, but I'm going to guess Lauryn Hill. She was the person on my wife's list who was a lie, so maybe she is for you as well. She also had Megadeth on her list, seems weird to me that the first two people to play the game both had an overlap artist with my wife.

Sadly, it is not The Weeknd. Saw his 2nd or 3rd American show, at the 9:30 club, actually. People forget how much sooner he broke in the indie/pitchfork world than the r&b/urban music world. I heard House of Balloons at so many house parties for a solid six months. Sort of was the last ever "house parties" I ever went to. In some weird ways, that concert was the end of an era. I felt old and wanted to go to bed at a reasonable hour after that.

Given that you were the moderator of hfstival.com I think Cranberries and Marcy Playground are givens. Hilary Duff seems like your cup of tea. That leaves Yellowcard and K Fed. Yellowcard is the type of crappy band that played some Richmond radio festival, so I'll go with K. Fed.

Your logic is impeccable and I respect the thought you put into this. Nope. Saw K fed. $13. Have a ticket stub if anyone needs a photo.

Never downplay my internal radar of what would be a hilarious story. GWARbq's origin is basically that k fed concert. So bad. SO BAD.

That said: just to be clear on HFStival history - I don't believe to the best of my knowledge cranberries or Marcy playground ever played it but yellow card DEF did (but I may be wrong).

This is well known and has been discussed at length if you care to search. I famously stoked a fight over nothing between the two communities and got the HFS kiddies to register a ton of accounts on here and flood the place with the Canterbury Tales.

I did this because it amused me.

Look, if the Agency is hiring, I have a lot of ideas on how we can manipulate the masses in South and Central American countries to overthrow their governments. And not just ideas we've used in the past: new ones.

I'm gonna guess R.E.M. and The Replacements.

R.E.M.
King Sunny Ade and His African Beats
Talking Heads
The Police
The Chats
Buddy Holly and the Crickets
Juluka
The Waterboys
The Replacements
Grateful Dead
[/quote

If you can guess in one try which two on this list I have seen, I promise I won't leer at you the next show we mutually attend. Hint: Buddy Holly is not one of the two.

The Mats and the Waterboys.

Did you see Buddy Holly?

No. I'm too young for that (not that I'm young).  I thought putting him in would make it obvious he was the odd man out.

A little obvious is probably good for the game imo because otherwise it's pretty random when it's strangers who have seen lots of bands...however that one may have  been too obvious.  ;D

Me as usual was overthinking the inclusion of Buddy Holly and the crickets… could have been a tribute act or may be as part of a musical.. thus the red herring

As far as Buddy’s career, he would have held his own against Elvis, The Beatles and  Brian Wilson\Beach Boys, etc..

Already adapt at writing great pop songs, it was clear  towards he would have also become an amazing producer

before this drops off page one.. the band i haven't seen is The Chameleons (UK)

and the tale is they were touring with The Might Lemon Drops who I was well into at the time.. TMLD played a great set, but then because this was in the days when headlining  bands often didn't start until late and then play until the 2am curfew, me and my buddy waited patiently for The Chameleons to come on... it turned 1am on a weekday and with no sign of them hitting the stage, we bailed...

I was actually thinking of guessing that one for you when I chose the Primitives. Though i obviously didn't know the story behind it.

I heard DCD on the radio on Friday covering Sinead O'Connor's Stretched on Your Grave as part of a Halloween themed show, and was going to post that guess Friday. But then I got busy with other stuff and forgot all about it.
