Other shows that stand out in your mind?
I was thinking about some of the other concerts that stood out in my
mind as performance and stage wise go. I heard a Queen song on the other
day and it had me reminiscing about when I saw them at the NYC Garden
and they busted out into the song FAT Bottom girls and about 20 or 30
girls in string thongs rode out on stage with bicycles and the crowd
went wild. Then they went into the song Bicycles. It sounded go to me
back then.
I just wanted to mention a few of the other shows that left an
impression on "me".
YES in the round. (NYC garden)
Pink Floyd the Wall (nassau coliseum)
Peter Gabriel (Capitol Theater)
Page and Plant with full orchestra (NYC)
David Bowie let dance tour (NYC)
Ozzy Osborne blizzard of OZ tour (capitol theater)
Remembering Shakita central park NYC
Something about these shows that stood out in my mind. I mean for
instance ;
Peter Gabriel used to sing this song
"lay your hands on me" and when he sang this song he was singing the
song through a wireless microphone headset and would lay on top of the
crowd as he was singing the song and he was being passed around on top
of every ones hands for the whole song through most of the orchestra
seats. Something cool to see. That was a good show. Tony Levin on the
stick.
Ozzy with Randy Roades on guitar for the Blizzard of OZ album was
alright in my book and it was smoking show !!!
There was something about YES in the round that was undescribable. Oh
man was that good stuff. Especially being so close and looking up at
them instead of looking down at them. Steve Howe on that acoustic was
something to see and hear. Rick Wakeman on the keys, oh man don't even
get me started. Chris Squire on that fat BASS. Alan white on drums. That
was kind of a tight band.
Page and Plant with full orchestra should have been done a long time
ago. This was some healthy stuff.
Yet I can't remember what I had for supper last nite. Go figure ???
Any shows that stand out in our mind?

Gotta love those memory burns.....

My most memorable show was the Traffic Reunion tour. When was that? '93? I
cant remember the year, sorry. I caught the show right here in Richmond VA
at the Classic Ampitheater. By far the best concert I have ever seen. The
sound was incredible. It was as if I had headphones on listening to an album
at the house with 1 exception, I was watching Winwood, Cappaldi and the boys
perform from about 15 rows back. And John Barleycorn LIVE.. What an
experience!!
Plus the audience was full of "family" members.
Dave Mason opened the show for them which was a little wierd since I dont
think he played with the band at all, but I could be mistaken about that.
All in all it was truly an experience not soon forgotten.
Does anyone remember/have the complete setlist for that tour? Even better,
anyone have a copy of any date on the tour?
Peace

I also remember that Yes (in the round) in the Garden, it was around
'90..right? That show blew my freakin' mind!! The acid may have helped
with that. ; }

Yes '84 (Summit) - If nothing else, since you started you're list off with
Yes.
Grateful Dead - 4/11/88 (first show)
Santana '92 (Woodlands Pavilion - 3 hour show)
Jorma Kaukonen - 11/30/92 Rockefellers (first Kaukonen show)
King Crimson '95 (Houston Music Hall)
Gov't Mule - every time
String Cheese Incident 5/??/99 - Tipitina's - late show right after seeing
Panic ealier. Didn't stop until it was light out and then a drum circle
formed outside Tip's until the cops told everyone to cool it. I went to bed
about 11:00 AM after an incredible breakfast at that place that I can't
think of the name of, but it was really f*$king good food - coffee wasn't
bad either.

I'm thinking Booie is referring to the 78-79 in the round tour which they
smoked. They hit MSG in September 78 and again in June 79 with 3 sold out
nites each. Yes' last great tour until the recent years which have been a
true return to the classic sound and killer setlists.. Early 90s was the
Union tour (also in the round)with a combo of early classic and 80s AOR
members. These guys have really rotated the players over the years with
varying levels of success(commercial and artistic).
Seeing Howe and Squire is usually worth the price of admission,
and
Wakemans back this summer!!!!

Other shows that stand out in your mind?
I forgot to mention;
Allman Brothers @ the Beacon (NYC) acoustic & electric. Man, all
cylinders were firing those nights. I like that stuff.
Frank Zappa 6th row @ the Palladium in NYC. Boy that was Frank at his
best. So relaxed and blahzay. Miss ya Frank...
I did not mentioned any GD shows but two of them that stand out are
Louisville, Kentucky summer of 1990
Both of the Rochester NY shows in Silver Stadium.
Were there 2 there?
I think I remember 2 shows there.
I feel it is the minor league stadium ora that I feel there on both of
these shows..
Plus the open air feeling of not being constricted with seats and or
concrete.

I'll second that YES tour(78-79). In a league of its own. (Anyone got that
time machine built yet?)
I'll add:
David Bromberg Band at the Bottom Line, February Anniversary shows early
80s. - fun, musicianship,real... he's the only one who does what he does.
Dire Straits Capitol Theater Passaic NJ 9/79 - "this is too good, who are
these guys"
Simon and Garfunkel Central Park 9/80 - an event.
Neil Young Pier 84 NYC 9/85 - following a rainstorm, Neil gets 'down' by the
river. Country and Rockin out.
Taj Mahal - NYC Musiccruise 8/85 - this guy is real good and real
Ratdog Cape Cod Melody tent 6/18/00 - talk about exceeding expectations.
Dead Nassau Coliseum 5/8/81 - nearly too much to handle
Dead Rutgers 5/15/81 - crisp, clean perfection. Jerry is on.

Psychotica @ the SQUEEZEBOX [Don Hill's]... best damn show I've ever
been to outside a Phil show.
Rolling Stones @ Giants Stadium, Bridges to Babylon tour. Conclusive
proof that old guys in spandex can still RAWK
Ekoostik Hookah @ the Knitting Factory; blew me fuckin away.
Miracle Light Orchestra>Ulu>Miracle Orchestra>Ulu>Ulu&Miracle Orchestra
@ the Wetlands NYC. 5 interlocking sets... what a night

last big tour, with Agents of Good Roots, and an interesting band
called the Fuzzy Sprouts. Good shit.
SnoCore Icicle Ball Tour 2001 @ Nation, Wash DC... Drumz N Tuba, Lake
Trout, Les Claypool and Galactic all in one night. The last jam was
an orgy of all 4 bands together on stage at once-- so fucking sick.
Smashing Pumpkins @ Nassau Coliseum in ... '96? maybe? '97? Dunno...
The Mellon Collie tour, it really rocked. Well I was 14, so I could
really relate anyway.
Glampire-- every time I've seen him in NYC. Incidentally I believe
after 9/11 he said "Fuck it! This city's Dead! I'm bolting!" and moved
to the country and stopped making music. Damn shame... damn shame...
Zen Tricksters... 9/9/2001 or some date very close to that. The last
time the Tricksters played the Wetlands NYC... what a sick show. You

at the Wetlands... *sigh*

I saw this incredible seven and one half hour set of some of the most
mindblowing music I have ever experienced in a venue created out of a swamp
in the heart of the Everglades. Along with 70,000 friends and family
members. Started on 12-31-99 and ended 1-1-2000. Some band phrom New
England, IIRC.
Got it all on disc on my first solo recording venture, the beginning of what
has grown quite uncontrollably.
YMMV,

The guitar player was good too.
Electric Hot Tuna, circa Dec '90 (Blind Pig, Ann Arbor). They never
blew my mind any other time quite as much as they did that night in
Ann Arbor. Had so much fun at the early show that I stayed for the
late show.
ABB, summer '96 (Pine Knob, Clarkston). I always enjoy an ABB show,
but that one in particular stands out.
Sweet, circa '74 or '75 (Masonic Temple, Detroit). My first
rock-n-roll concert ever, so it definitely stands out in my mind.
B-b-b-b-b-ballroom Blitzzzzz!!!

incredible shows on the East Coast in the 60s, and then some pretty
memorable California shows afterwards...
That said, I've been an avid concert goer for (ohmygawd!) almost 40 years,
and so the following are just some of the more memorable ones I've
attended (and remember after only one cuppa coffee):
From 1965 until 1969, I attended the yearly Newport Folk Fest, and saw
all the greats! And, although I had zero interest in Jazz, I went to the
1969 Newport Jazz Fest, which was a preview of what was to follow a few
weeks later at Max Yazgur's Farm. The highlight was when Sly Stone
announced "This next song is for all you people on the hillside" and when
he launched into "I Want To Take You Higher" people went nuts, tore down
the fences, and partied like it was the end of the world!
The Mother's of Invention - All the original members, soon after "Freak
Out" was released. The Psychedelic Supermarket in Boston, Thanksgiving
Day. My guess is that it must have been 1967.
Woodstock.
A "Love In" in NYC's Central Park with the Jefferson Airplane and
Santana. Probably 1968 or 1969.
Lou Reed's 1973 NYE concert at NYC's Academy of Music. Released as "Rock
'n Roll Animal."
The Last Waltz
The SNACK Concert - Yeah, the sound sucked, but damn, hearing "Blues For
Allah" before there were any lyrics was pretty memorable. So were the
co-stars of the event. That said, you really had to be there.
Dylan/The Band 1974 - His first tour since the supposed motorcycle
accident. Oakland.
Who/Dead - 1976 Oakland Coliseum.
The Sex Pistols - At Winterland, no less. I just had to see 'em. Anyone
that could cause that much furor was a must-see. Seeing Sid Vicious slash
himself with a razor, well, who else can honestly say that they ever got
to witness that? I just cracked up at the end when Johnny Rotten asked:
"You ever feel like you've been taken?" Just thinking about that night, 25
years later, has me laughing.
New Year's Eve 12/31/78, the closing of Winterland.
The Grateful Dead's many appearances at Berkeley's Greek Theater in the
1980s.
The Who's Quadrophenia in London's Hyde Park in 6/96. Dylan with Ron Wood
played before the Who, and Clapton closed the show!
Allman Brothers (With both Dickey and Derek) at Concord in 1999.
Roger Daltry at Concord, performing Quadrophenia with a 65 piece
orchestra!
David Nelson Band/David Nelson Trio - They blow my mind every time I see
them!

The Jam - twice in CA. I can't remember where or when.
Ray Davies - First storyteller type tour, Costa Mesa CA, circa 1997?

The Greyboy Allstars. Taxxi's, San Diego, circa 1994/1995?
P**sh. Greek Theater, L.A., 9/29/95.
Johnny Thunders, somewhere in LA, late '80s.

And when he did session work for The Who, The Kinks, Joe Cocker,
Donovan...... he also played bass (and later guitar) for the
Yardbirds......
Chris Slade was no slouch on drums either.
I liked the Firm. Then again, I like Free and Bad Company, so I guess
my opinion is as irrelevant as anybody else's.

Police 1983-my first concert, quite the hallucinatory experience...
Pretenders 1984-my first concert at Red Rocks, very shroomy...I loved the
Learning to Crawl songs...
Bob, Brent, Crosby & Nash, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne 1988-a Seva benefit,
the highlight for me was seeing Brent do a solo set on a grand piano...he
wasn't real comfortable in the spotlight, but he was a great performer...I
always loved the guy...
Willie Dixon 1988-Wiltern Theatre, LA...Willie looked like he could barely
walk when he came out on stage, but when he started to sing it was like he
was about 30...Willie had his young grandson playing the keys during his
set...
Metallica 1988-they made Van Halen, Scorpions, etc. look like such
pussies...when Metallica started there was a full scale riot in the LA
Coliseum...ahh, to be young, coked up and stupid...
Springsteen 1988-Springsteen finally comes onstage after midnight in the LA
Coliseum after a long night of music(Peter Gabriel, Sting, etc)...Jungleland
at 2AM overlooking South Central LA...
Garcia Band/Bob and Rob 1989-two weeks after playing to insanely sold out
crowds at Irvine Meadows, Jerry and Bob come back and play to a half-full
Irvine Meadows...such a breath of fresh air...
Santana/Los Lobos 1989-Earthquake Relief concert at a high school football
field in Watsonville, CA...Carlos went places that afternoon that up until
then I thought only Jerry could go...
Garcia Band 1990-at the Greek, about a week after Brent died...that Forever
Young will stick in my mind forever...
Townes Van Zandt/Guy Clark 1990-at the Great American Music Hall in SF, hard
to describe, just this scrawny, somewhat drunk man on stage just grabbing me
emotionally like hardly anyone ever has...
Los Lobos 1990-playing in a little theatre in Petaluma, CA, there was about
50 of us in the audience, Los Lobos rocked our brains for almost 3 hours...I
could see the band totally getting off on the crowd, and vice versa...
Peter Rowan 1990-my Mom and Dad drag me to the Sweetwater in Mill
Valley...found out Mom and Dad still can teach me a thing or two...after the
show Pete hung out in my Mom and Dad's Winnebago...
U2 1992-Zoo Station tour...sensory overload to Nth degree, and I wasn't even
trippin'...
Wynton Marsalis 1993-that afternoon I watched Wynton teach a class at the
local university which as a musician was priceless, and that night he asks
the audience at the start of the concert if it would be alright if he and
his band just stuck to playing Thelonious Monk that night...mind blowing...
Metallica/Ramones/Devo/Soundgarden 1996-great night of music, one of the
Ramones last shows...
Willie Nelson/Leon Russell 1997-at the Coach House...one of the post-Dead
shows that really sticks out in my mind...great watching Willie play guitar
close-up...
Los Lobos 2000-Fillmore, SF, the first night they do this The
Neighborhood>Incident at Nebushar Jam>Spoonful Jam>The Neighborhood thing
that is as good as anything I've seen...and lots of Dead in the encores...
Jesus, when I think about it there's just too many too mention. I'd almost
have to start this list of great shows, at #110, after the 109 Dead shows I
saw. Of course not every Dead show I ever saw was a thing of beauty, but I
almost always had the time of my life at Dead shows. It's no wonder I'm
such a baked cake...

- Naked Raygun at Metro, Chicago Sept. 1986 & March 1987. Amazing punk
band, really put on a good live show. Local favorites often overlooked
elsewhere.
- Smashing Pumpkins, Metro, New Years Eve 1990. They really struck me as
having great potential. I think they were the opening act, and I was blown
away enough to go home after they finished.
- Sonic Youth, the Vic, Chicago. October 1990 ....
- Rollins Band, Iowa City 1987 I've never seen anyone put 120% into
performing for maybe 100 people.
- Grateful Dead, a few times here and there, something a little weird about
them...
- Allman Brothers Band, Riviera Theatre Chicago 5/8/96. first live show
for me after a very tough year. Amazing ensemble, they were.
- Butthole Surfers, the Vic, Chicago May, 1991 - pyschedelic trauma rock

Still **is**. Judging from their latest album, they are ageless and
timeless and better than ever. They are touring US this year with the
classic lineup (Anderson, Howe, Wakeman, Squire, White) and I think
Europe next year.

Shows, yes. Dates, somewhat foggy.
Dead 5/9/77
Genesis - 74 or 75 - "Lamb Lies Down" tour. Incredible.
King Crimson - Austin 95 - the post-Jerry show that restored my faith
in music. Absolutely blew the roof off the dump!
Allan Holdsworth - Austin, early 80's - EVERY local gunslinger,
including SRV and Eric Johnson, in attendance.
The Who - 75ish - w/Keith. Still the most exciting, highest energy
show that I have ever seen. Bar none. Including:
The Ramones - mid-late 70s - CBGB. Back when no one outside of NYC
knew who they were, including me.
Muddy Waters - Belle Starr Lodge, Colden, NY - mid 70s. - Not as much
for the show itself (had already seen Muddy several times), but for
the time that I got to hang out with Muddy. An amazing, great man.
Clapton & Muddy Waters - 79 - Once again, not so much for the show
itself, but more for the chat that I had with George Harrison before
the show.
Pink Floyd - mid 70s - Animals tour
Mothers/Zappa - 70s & 80s - I really miss Frank
Gabriel - early 80s - great band, great show
Yes - many shows in the 70s - funny thing, though, I can barely listen
to their newer stuff. Too "new-agey", or something, for me. I
dunno...
Dead - 1/20/79 - Not just the show, but hanging with the band the
night before. My first non-Donna show.
Great American Music Fair - Syracuse, NY - 75 - Not so much for the
music, but more for the riots and the drugs. Angels and NYS Police
bustin heads, side-by-side. Was on the local news doin my best Garcia
impression, "Marijuanna, exhibit A...."
T-Birds River Fest - Austin, mid 80s - SRV, T-Birds, Santana, Bonnie
Raitt, Joe Walsh, et al, all in a monster jam to end a great evening.
Got a tape, somewhere, but it's little more than a poor sounding
souvenier <sigh>
Little Feat - a couple shows in the 70s - w/Lowell
Little Feat - Jazz Fest, NOLA , 88 - a very welcome back!!
Vassar Clements - 4/20/02 - got to hang out w/Vassar quite a bit. What
a musical treasure and a wonderful, nice gentleman he is.
and many more......

I am trying to figure out what this thread can prove. I think it goes to
the root of the real flavor of what music we like? Maybe the bands were
hot that nite? The stars were in alignment? It was luck that you were
there at the time for you to see the show? They all sound like all good
times that were named in this thread and the best part of all these
posts is that you just pulled them out of your human file cabinet which
booie calls your mind.
These all left impressions on your minds for one reason or another.
Isn't that the coolest?
Where have all the good times gone?

fun. The minor league stadium aspect was cool, I remember one year
('88?) there was a big mud pit behind the soundboard that people were
sliding in, it was pretty fun.
As to non-Dead shows that stand out to me, a few would include:
Santana, '86 or so in a small club in Syracuse (USA Sams, I think was
the name). They played for 3 hours easily, I was on the balcony
looking down at Carlos and the cocktail waitress brought us a round of
beers virtually every time she walked by.
Hot Tuna with David Bromberg on the Pier in NYC, 1988.
Electric Hot Tuna at the Ritz, either late '88 or early '89.
David Murray Big Band at the Knitting Factory in '97 (or maybe '96).
David had been playing the main space at the Knit for like a year
every Monday night, one week (during a snow storm) he broke out a
bunch of Dead covers (I didn't make it that week). The next week the
place was packed, the early show featured a mind-blowing Shakedown,
the late show had a great Dark Star (which I also watched them
rehearse before the early show). The next week the crowd had thinned
considerably, David only played one Dead song (Shakedown Street) but
the rest of the show was incredible, just mind-blowing.
Bob Dylan, Irving Plaza in '98. Joan Osborne opened, and Dylan played
to 800 people.
The Rads, numerous times, back when the Lonestar Cafe was open in NYC.
I loved watching them rip it up underneath that giant dragon fly that
hung from the ceiling.
Warren Haynes, Atomic Studios in Clinton, NJ in '97. Warren solo
acoustic in front of 50 people, what more could you ask for?
Neil Young, Waterloo Village in '89. Second show of the tour, he
dedicated Ohio to the protestors at Tiaman Square.
There's a whole lot more, but that's off the top of my head.

Jimmy Vivino is a freaking incredible guitarist with lots of charisma.
I saw him gig with Al Kooper, Harvey Brooks (the great bassist of
Electric Flag fame), and Anton Figg (the former Letterman drummer),
back around '94. Unbelievable! They did Kooper's solo stuff,
Vivino's blues stuff, old Blood Sweat and Tears stuff. I think they
may have even done some old Blues Project stuff, but my memory fails
me there. Awesome! He's the same guy who's in the Conan O'Brien Band
and who did a few tours with the great Laura Nyro when she made her
late '80s comeback. He's also brother of Uncle Floyd, who Jersey
posters who watched UHF channel 68 in the late '70s would know.
Larry Penoza
Frank Zappa, Tower Theater Philadelphia, circa 1979
3rd row center, 18 years old, completely rearranged my musical mind.
Peter Gabriel, Asbury Park convention center, 1979 (?)
(Tour in support of his 2nd solo album)
A brave new world for rock music?
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paramount Theater Seattle, 1989
Tore the roof off the joint.
Steve Morse Band, several times in the early '90s at The Backstage in
Seattle
Standing 3 feet from Steve and Dave LaRue shredding like no one else,
all the heavy grunge guitar slingers in attendance, watching in awe.
King Crimson, Paramount Theater Seattle, 1995
Aural paintings, beautiful, abrasive, stunning, disturbing
But never boring.
PHiSH, Hult Center, Eugene Oregon, May 1994
Telepathic musical collaboration beyond belief.
There are lots more.........

Apparently Milwaukee is one place. That line up with Phil, Allmans and
Lucinda Williams is a killer.I'm going to Camden but I wish Lucinda
was on the bill. She is the coolest!
A few of the shows that still feel fresh after a while:
Dead 5-8-77
Springsteen-Winterland '78 Bruce at his peak. I got to see him at the
Stone Pony in 85 but Winterland was the best. The Amnesty show in
Philly w/ Peter Gabriel, Sting, Tracy Chapman, Y'Sou Ndour also very
good time
Neil Young-Cow Palace-Live Rust show
Jerry & Merle-Shady Grove, Haight St., SF 1978?
David Bromberg Band-Great American Music Hall, 79 Also w/Jay Ungar at
Princeton U. 2001
Stones-Candlestick-Tattoo You tour
New Barbarians-Oakland Coliseum Arena-79. Wish I had a tape of this
show. Keith playing piano on Tammy Wynette's Apartment #9 was sweet
Stomp In '76, Galax,VA A bluegrass Woodstock with most of the players
from Will the Circle Be Unbroken along with folks like John Prine,
Bromberg and Emmy Lou.
Merlefest 2000-Doc Watson and Sam Bush in a tent on Sat. night playing
dance tunes while the crowd twirled!
Johnnie Winter-Broome County Arena 77.Just a great kick ass
show.Silver Train, Let it Bleed, Johnnie B Goode
The Band-Commack Arena, Asbury Park 76-Northern Lights/Southern Cross
tour.Rick Danko singing It Makes No Difference just blew me away-and
still does.
Hot Tuna-Bimbos 365, SF 78
Dead-Roosevelt Stadium 1974 Also Giants Stadium w/ Dylan and 4/1/90 in
Atlanta.
Oh yeah,the run of shows at Winterland in Oct. 78 post Egypt.

that Alvin Lee can play the guitar.
Tom Petty-Irving Plaza,NYC 99
Lucinda Williams-the Car Wheels tours with John Jackson and Kenny
Vaughn blasting away on guitars. Great band, great songs, great
singer.
Albert Collins and Albert King. This was a show at some night club in
the Embarcadero Center in SF in 77 or 78. We went to see the great
Albert King but Albert Collins stole the show. Just unbelievable.
Mike Bloomfield, Other Cafe, SF. Solo acoustic for like $2.
David Crosby-solo acoustic Bread and Roses festival, Berkeley
Steve Goodman-solo acoustic, social room SUNY Binghamton-best single
performance
I've ever seen
Jorma, Page St. block party 1980.Got to speak a little bit with one of
my guitar heros.
Hunter, Haight St. fair. Our apt was at the intersection of Haight &
Ashbury.
They built a stage for the fair right outside our window and we saw
the show from there. He was real good with a band backing him up.
Clapton-Blues tour, MSG '94.The man was wailing.
Crusader Rabbit-Beacon Theatre Dec. 2001.Benefit for the NYC
firefighters and cops. This show really meant alot in the wake of
9/11.Sugar Mags for an opener,
Dark Star. Thanks Phil & Bobby!!!
Looking forward to good tunes this summer.Got my Elvis tickets-back to
Asbury Park!

I still have a bumper sticker I bought that day.
It's a picture of Alfred E Newman, obviously stoned out of his skull and
wearing a tongue hat, and it reads in really big letters, "Getting fucked
up and loving it" and beneath that in smaller letters, "At the Rolling
Stones Concert, Candlestick Park, San Francisco, 1981."
Of course, that's a rolling bust so I never put it on my car.
Northbound Train
> Other shows that stand out in your mind?
FZ & the Mothers, 1972 w/ Flo and Eddie
It was a 4-hour show and they only played 4 tunes, IIRC.
Billy the Mountain, Studebaker Hawk, great stuff!
