Seen Steven Stills when he came out drunk got drunker and all around jerk to audieance. Pulled on a fifth of jack played 2 or three songs ripped on the crowd and was booed off stage.
Seen Clapton same way. He wasnt insulting but he just played rhythm and Bruce Terry sang and played lead I believe is his name. Fans booed that one too. |

Animals as Leaders and Periphery at the Fillmore in Silver Springs Maryland. I'll never see such a beautiful thing again. That venue is incredible and Tosin Abasi is a ****ing wizard on guitar.

Jethro Tull in the late 70s Absolutely the most outstanding concert I have ever attended. For years I had a connection for concerts getting in for free. I have watched several bands from country, bluegrass, and rock. That show was simply amazing. A side note I enjoy their music but am far from a big fan~

First show:
Blondie - The Hunter tour -1982. Last tour during their original existence. Best show: So many to choose from but seeing The Ramones for their final NY club show in '96 was incredible. Parked myself at the stage for the 1st half of the show but after having to take a piss I decided to watch the the rest of the performance from the back, near the control board. As I'm standing there, I notice a blond beside me. I look over, she looks back, we say hi to each other as I realize it's Blondie! Holy shit! I tell her that she was my first show and she seems impressed (being polite). We had some small talk then that was that. Awesome night. |

I was being half facetious. However...
The son of the owner of the Patriots, who had been an occasional concert promoter at the Patriots old stadium, decided that he wanted to promote the entire tour. He originally brought Eddie DeBartolo in, but he balked when he thought it was a risk. He was so desperate to get the Jacksons to approve their bid that he offered them a deal above and beyond what any sane promoter would, guaranteeing them over 4/5 of the potential gross revenue of ticket sales. Thus, whether or not they sold out, the group made the same amount of money. He also put up a nearly $40 million dollar advance (this is in 1984, mind you), putting up the Patriots stadium as collateral on the loan. The Chiefs accepted a lowball deal in order to help the guy out, taking around $100,000 for three nights instead of getting a cut of tickets and concessions. The dude is in way over his head, so he jacks ticket prices way up, demands that people buy at least four, sets up a lottery, and takes the money from those lottery entrants, and puts it into a short term money market account. The promoters get slaughtered on the tour, and the younger Sullivan is so far into hock that his dad has to put the Patriots up for sale. For a while he actually lived in a suite at the stadium, and the NFL had to give them an advance so they could make payroll. They eventually sell the Pats, they get flipped two more times to Kraft, and the barren hellscape of the Pioli era is unleashed upon us. If only Lamar had a ball-breaking sonofabitch like Carl around to push against Sullivan's demands, maybe the tour disintegrates before it starts and it doesn't unravel their ownership. Maybe some other non-Belichickean dickhead ends up with Tom Brady.

I seen the Tull concert was ok. Bad company was better. Yes was better than both. None compared for me than little feet live. Just incredible.
I also enjoyed Logins & Messina several times. Messina must have been the brains of that bunch. Kenny logins sucked as a solo artist. Who saw The Ramones at One Block West when it was one block west of KU Med. Wasn't the best but I will say it was the strangest most interesting. The had just started out and were playing small bars. Also seen Lou Reed there I think lol. Problem with Tull for me was Ian Anderson makeing a flute the focal point of the band. That concert in the seventies every song he went into soaring flute solos lasting sometimes over 5 minutes. I got a little burnt out.
