Connections like that sure are rare! The only one on your list I saw was KISS, with my parents. Styx was their opening act (1977). Never saw Zeppelin but I had their PHYSICAL GRAFFITI album, the original die-cut one where the bldg. windows interacted with the inside liner note images. Cool.
That’s the one thing I really miss about LPs, the fun stuff that came with it. I explicitly remember the ELO spaceship that came with “Out Of The Blue”.
“Fleetwood crap is another I cannot stand, Stevie Nicks with her pretentious Wizard of Oz coroner munchkin voice.”
Lolololol…that’s cold, bro!
“I think Springsteen sucks, but I’ll give him props that he does appear to give a good effort…”
I’ve always heard that too. Long shows. With that band he’s probably fun live. I like to see anyone with a good band. The ultimate one-off I saw was Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Never saw them before but had heard of the bassist (Victor Wooten). Four of the best musicians on the planet! Eric Johnson opened for them and I had never even heard of him. Amazing as well.
Wiki:
. On this album, Nixon continued his assault on pop culture, as in the song “Don Henley Must Die”, which caused a fresh round of controversy, even to the point of Nixon’s record company begging radio stations not to play it.(Henley himself was unfazed; on July 31, 1992, at The Hole in the Wall in Austin, Texas, the former Eagle jumped onstage and performed the song with Nixon, causing Nixon to praise Henley as having “balls as big as church bells.”
Looked it up, cool.
“The Dems rip the bones from your back.
They’re a death trap.
We gotta deprogram all their young.”
That’s awesome !
You win the internet!
I wouldn’t pay $4. to see him again. He lost it after his third album, in the 70s.
Fools paying that kind of money for Boss Springaleak might as well make the check out to the DNC, because that's where a lot of it will be going.
I was there, too, I think—at some school-building concert in 1973 somewhere. I remember sitting either on folding chairs or a floor like a wooden gym floor, with a raised stage. Sat near the front. I remember how beautifuylly developed his arm muscles were from playing guitar. Great concert. He had such energy and enthusiasm, and of course, Clemens and Sancious were outstanding. Later that year or in '74 saw him in a small club in Brigantine, and went backstage and talked to him.
But as I noted upthread, he sold out (and I was done) around !975 or so.
I see what you did there...
A date! That’s nice!
I paid major bucks for orchestra seats for an opera at the Kennedy Center for me and a family member. The person seated on the other side of me was a man in a dress, wig and high heels. Deep voice, though. (At intermission, I avoided the ladies' room until s/he was outta there.) So I guess life is like a box of chocolates no matter where you go these days. You never know what you're going to get.
Google "Bruce Springsteen depression" and you'll get your answer.
He seems never to have found a cure.
You ever look closely at the Born In the USA album cover, and notice just what Bruce is doing to the American flag?
If someone is willing to pay me many times its value for some thing I control, should I object? It’s his own business.
You’d have to pay me to listen to his crap.
