coolphantom190 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) I made this thread so we can post the bands we have seen! You can also post where and the tour! I think it would be fun to see who everyone has seen! You can also update your list as you go to more concerts! I will start: Rush (3x) Cheap Trick (2x) Zappa Plays Zappa King's X Heart Journey The B-52's The Sweet Chicago Earth, Wind, and Fire Rick Derringer Edited October 26, 2010 by coolphantom190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I haven't been to that many, really... but I'm fairly selective, especially now as ticket prices can get pretty ridiculous. Rush (x8) Primus (opened for Rush) Mr. Big (opened for Rush) Poison Warrant Aerosmith Skid Row Tesla Queensryche Counting Crows Robert Plant The Cure 8 Stops 7 The Monkees Scorpions Motley Crue ...I think that's it. Can't think of any more off the top of my head and my wife wants to watch Arrested Development with me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
