Not a big Beatles fan, eh?

[pissant]

Did you mean Johnny Winter??

[pissant]

I think I've found Nirvana with you!

[pissant]

I shall assume you do not listen to RAP!!!!

[pissant]

Pigpen kept the band rooted in the blues to a large degree. But I think their most impressive concerts were in the late 1970s.

2 more ex dead heads! The lsit is growing! :)

I like that Ian explores different styles, though they don't always work commercially (read mid 80s), or his mid 90s foray into eastern sounds(which i love)... I'd read that Tull was the inspiration for Spinal Tap back around the Broadsword album... about the only truth between reality and the movie was that all the drummers WERE blowing up...

there's nothing wrong with getting old as long as you're not at a concert pointing up to someone in the audience and shouting, "Dude!"

It isn't a 'rock' concert, but it was the best I can remember....

The Gypsy Kings,
Orlando, Florida
February 2001 (I think)

What made it so great is seemed just about the entire audience was versed in Gitano or Flamenco....so by the end of the concert, EVERYONE was dancing! Moms, Dads, kids, grannies etc.

It wasn't for wallflowers

[pissant]

Good list. I have seen both Bo Diddley and John Lee Hooker. Well past their primes but amazing nonetheless! :)

[EX52D]

Ok, well I'm less than 130...

[pissant]

And those are the ones you remember! LOL

Bump to another Tull fan!

The last ZZ Top concert I went to, looked like a geriatric convention of bikers. I was possibly one of the younger in attendance and I'm 49.

[pissant]

Alcohol?

[pissant]

His is the only rock music that I consider romantic. ;o)

Grrrrrrrrr...

[pissant]

You have a reputation to uphold here! ;o)

[RockinRight]

Yeah...and what kind of reputation is that??

[pissant]

Najida. I saw the Gypsy Kings 3 years ago on the Seattle Waterfront Pier. Absolutely floored. I love them!

[pissant]

Then I'm game! Of course now, I'd buy front row seats and not fight the masses! :)

[pissant]

As my protege when I retire from this! LOLOL!

1972 Indianapolis Grateful Dead 3hrs 5 songs, all you had to do was inhale to get high.

summer 1972 Evansville blues fest Bosse field, Howling Wolf bummed a beer from me and thanked from the stage later, Ike & Tina revue were awesome.

last summer Bloomington IN, Leon Russell in a little place that held 200 people we stood on the dance floor, half dozen Jerry Garcia look-a-likes, played for 2 hours
