Where and when did you see them?

I saw them back in '90 or '91 and then again in '93 I believe. I saw them in my town of Jacksonville, FL. The Crowes rock! It's a great show. Straight ahead rock your socks off kind of stuff. And, you can get a great contact high at a Crowes show. laugh.gif If you have a chance I would highly recommend seeing them.

ahhh a very exclusive concert attendance record pour moi...

 

 

2.gif every tour since Presto (my first "real" concert)

Most of these shows I went to 2x

 

Kiss (at the now closed Tiger Stadium in Detroit)

This tour was filmed and used for video footage since it was the first concert that they resumed wearing their make up.

 

Tom Petty ( Wild Flowers)

Would have preferred to see him with the Heartbreakers but I did get to see him!

 

Ozzy (Never at an Ozzfest)- 4x

The first time I seen him was a small venue in downtown Detroit and he had a broken foot from falling off the stage 2 days prior in Chicago and he postponed the rest of the tour... but he Rocked like there was nothing that could stop him....hmmmmmmm I wonder just how much dope he shot to numb the pain to perform that night???

 

 

Collective Soul

New Years Eve - 2004 They rocked '05 in at an outdoor concert in Niagara Falls - What a memory.

 

hmmmmm any one else???

oh yeah...(whispers Glass Tiger) -when I was 12 blush4.gif

Wow ... tough one ...

 

I know I have seen RUSH over 30 times.

 

Other than that ... probably at least 1000

 

I have a very wide range of taste of music, so there are many different genres represented. Everything from Abba to Zappa.

Anybody had the pleasure of seeing Stevie Ray Vaughan?

Nope. I was like 4 when he died, so I never would remember even if I did see him. I would've loved to see this guy though. He totally rips.
