WOW!

That is epic.
That trumps my seeing Guns N' Roses at the Whisky by a long shot.
And to think you remember it all cuz you weren't drunk.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

You would have loved it, drunk or sober. Too bad it took SARS to have such an event.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

It is too bad but damn, dude.

I've never seen the Stones or the Guess Who.
I couldn't even imagine them all together.

Randy Bachman played the Taking Care of Business riff with a drum stick.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Well of course he did.

Just keep rubbing it in.

Van Halen 5150 tour, July 28, 1986, Meadowlands NJ

Me: a 14 year-old neophyte guitarist sitting in the front row on Eddie's side of the stage.

Never beat that one.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I was lucky enough to see them in 78 I think and on their 1984 tour.
When Dave was still around.
A lot happened between that tour and this one.

One of the best ever.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

I like both versions of the band pretty equally. Dave was the better showman and had a unique voice that worked perfectly for their material, but Sammy could really belt it out and sing stuff that Dave could never even attempt.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I've seen the Sammy version.
I was so heartbroken when they broke up.
Some people have Kennedy I remember where I was when Van Halen broke up.

I do love some Cabo Wabo. Although I think I remember hearing Sammy sold it.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

Yep, and made $90 million doing it.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Just plain genius.

Dave's a better performer but Sammy is just plain much smarter.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

And the minute his non-compete clause expired, he got back into the biz with Adam Levine from Maroon 5:

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I hadn't heard anything about this.
He obviously knows how to make money.

Have you tried this?
Is this legit stuff or just a hipster thing?

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

Never tried it or Cabo Wabo.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I feel like I don't know you anymore.

Please remedy this.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 3 years ago

I meant to pick up these tequilas for tasting today, but I forgot. The remedy will have to wait one more year.

Don’t have a favorite as I’ve never been to one. I don’t like crowds. Going to a crowded mall in Orlando got to me. If I were to go I would like to attend an Air Supply concert. I missed out on Elvis and the Everly Brothers.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I can deal with some Air Supply.

I'm lost in love
So lift your eyes if you feel you can
Reach for a star and I'll show you a plan
I figured it out
What I needed was someone to show me

reply

[–] kspkap (13629) 7 years ago

I don’t care for the screeching sound bands do with a guitar, so hard rock is not my thing. Granted some of the bands have tunes I do like. Even some of Air Supply I turn off. I like the Vietnam War era music...Bob Dylan told a tale, “Blowin’ in the Wind and The Times They Are a-Changin

Buffalo Springfield

There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun, over there
Tellin' me I got to beware

(I think it's time we)
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

[–] kspkap (13629) 7 years ago

Thanks, hownos. I failed to post the title of the song, “For What It’s Worth”. Also, the Air Supply lines you posted are from one of my favorites.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

very welcome.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I'm hoping you're quoting the song.
If not we may have to have a long talk.

I mean I like you and everything but you are married.
Not to mention I will not cut your hair!

This a guilty pleasure for me.
I still have Air Supply albums.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

It was an Air Supply quote - I bet those albums are worth a fortune.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I have two of them.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78626) 7 years ago

And we only have two of you...
Howey+Dewey=cuteness

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

You can never go mild can you?
No. It's always the extra spicy.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78626) 7 years ago

I just dont know when to quit💨💨
Sorry...

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I assume Buckley sang 'Hallelujah'

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

He ended the show with it.

The only time I've ever cried at a concert.
One of the most moving times of my life.

reply

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

He died in May 1997. Time sure flies.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

It's so hard to believe.
I think he would have done greater things.

Just like his father, died way too young.
His father was even younger when he died.
Another great musician.

[–] Padeen (6459) 7 years ago

Gathering of the Vibes. Music Festivals always attract an array of interesting people lol. I went a few years in a row.

Second would be my first Allman Brother's concert in Mansfield, Massachusetts; 2002 or 2003 I think.

Both of these concerts I attended with one of my best friends. Sadly, he passed away over the summer due to drug addiction. RIP buddy.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

The music festivals are the best aren't they?
I go to one every year that has over 800 bands in 12 days or so.
Interesting people are an understatement.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
I lost a friend of mine last month so I feel you.
They'll always be with us though!

reply

[–] Padeen (6459) 7 years ago

They definitely are. It's not just the music either, it's the whole atmosphere. Thanks about my friend and sorry for your loss as well. Hopefully they are both at peace.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

The Atmosphere and the food and beer.
Every time I go I bet I gain 10 pounds in a couple weeks.

From the sounds of it they both deserve some peace.

[–] db20db (17756) 7 years ago

I once went to a jazz festival at a zoo in the middle of summer. The headliner was Maynard Ferguson of the Rocky theme fame. It was so surreal, awaiting that iconic music while browsing through the zoo and observing the animals lounging in their cages on a hot summer day. Just seemed like a strange but fascinating combination.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That sounds like an unique experience.
Jazz and the Zoo.

It must have been for you to remember it.

reply

[–] croft_alice (12180) 7 years ago

Never been on a concert and i'm pretty sure that i will never go to see one.

Haha, unfortunately it did not. I do think one of the former members took part in the Eurovision Songcontest.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That's just sad croft.
Nothing like feeling live music.

reply

[–] croft_alice (12180) 7 years ago

It's not sad.I just don't feel good in crowded places,that's all.

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

When you're at a live concert and really into it you don't even notice the crowd.
It's like the band is singing to only you.
It's quite a rush.

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 7 years ago

The 1989 Stones "Steel Wheels" Concert was the best I've ever seen. It was f***ing AWESOME!

reply

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Love the Stones!

As the old saying goes, "A thousand bands PLAY rock music. The Stones ARE rock music."

One of the few bands I've never seen that I wanted to.

reply

You might be too late there. They're about a thousand years old now.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Yeah, it's sad but true.

Sucks to see your legends get old!
Kind of like what happens when I think of you. 😜
