Concert?

[50s60sgroovymusic]

I'm wondering if you guys have been to concert. I went to concerts of Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Eric Clapton. And I'm gonna go to Jeff Beck's concert.
Have you ever been to concert? If so whose concert did you go to?

I was an avid concert goer in my 20s, everything from the huge outdoor summer all-day affairs to intimate nightclub shows.  I really couldn't begin to count how many shows I've seen.  Stylistically, they are all over the map - from big-name Arena rock acts to obscure local bands, trying to make it - Classic Rock, New Wave, Dance, Metal, K-Pop, you name it; I've seen it. 

Just a few of the better known acts off the top of my head: Boston, Foreigner, Rush, The Moody Blues, The Kinks, Prince & The Revolution (Purple Rain tour), Sheila E, Loverboy, Heart, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Cars, The Ramones, The B-52's, The Stray Cats, Squeeze, Modern English, Thompson Twins, Berlin, Adam & The Ants, The Hooters, Joe Jackson, The Tubes, Cheap Trick, Huey Lewis and the News, Joan Jet and the Blackhearts, Blue Oyster Cult, B.T.O., Pat Travers, Foghat, Little Feat, David Lee Roth, Dixie Dregs, Metallica, Slayer, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vixx, Teen Top, AOA, Girls' Generation...

There are plenty more I'm forgetting and plenty of unknowns that almost everyone has forgotten.  I used to see a couple shows a week at the local clubs.  Most were local acts, cover bands and the like, but there were also up-and-coming major label acts, as well as older groups, that used to be big, but no longer drew the crowds for big venues.

  How was your concert ? I went to a few concerts when I was young; however, I was to wasted to have fun   I grow up in an era and place that allowed more freedom then america kids have today; therefor, every night could be a concert   Ratskeller's, Cotton Club  and Peabody's our penny pictures, two for one and all you can drink
 mix that with live bands, add a drinking age of 19 in Idaho and 21 in washington + a positive exchange rate for the Canadians. The Coeur d' Alene, Idaho area had car loads of dumb Washington kids and pick-up loads of uninhibited Canadians enjoying live music and cheap alcohol   ;furthermore, a locale police force more concern with safety  then cheap tickets which means pore your beer out and or drugs - call your parents to drive you home and always made sure that the driver was sober (  just underage kids ) fast forward to 2016 I got carded in Shelley, Idaho (southern Idaho - occult country  ) when buying a case of beer, at first I tried to hug and kiss the store clerk, then I ask her for my senior discount  )  I mite go to SASQUATCH 2017 at The Gorge Amphitheatre Washington State, have to seen the finale lineup. like to see Courtney Barnett, Wolf Alice and Alabama Shakes

 A music festival that would be fun to go to would be Pemberton Festival, a beautiful place on west side of the cascades (The Gorge is on the east side) What I would like to hear there would be less rap  and more Canadian Rock i e ReignWolf and Black Pistol Fire and maybe more BC loggers and some older people in the crowd. Your never to old to Rock

Why party with BC Cutters because I've been an Pacific Northwest Cutter for 35 years (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana) It's fun to have a mix hippies/loggers   most don't mix but I do - less talk and more smiles go along way

Went to my first two concerts in the past week – my first since July due to recovering from glandular fever (mono). First up Blue October, a US alt rock band who I have seen live a few years ago. Another top notch performance and a band worth seeing live if you get the chance. Then last Saturday went to a more local venue to see the Darker My Horizon. They know they will never be a big name yet write memorable hard rock tunes and have a lot of fun playing their music. They recently played their first overseas show in Prague and again I would recommend seeing them live if you get a chance.
