RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I've honestly been to too many concerts in my life. That's a good thing. My first show was in 1982 when I was 14. The Who, The Clash and T Bone Burnett. Oakland. My last concert was ACCEPT at the Key Club October 19th 2010. Hollywood. As you can see by the years, I've probably seen hundreds of shows in between. 50 Rush concerts since 1984 does help my life experience. Remember, life is too short. Go for the show. Go with the flow.................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tool (1) Kinsey (1) Buddy Guy (1) Itzhak Perlman (3)- he's the only one that if he's in town, no matter the cost, I will see him. Chanticleer (1) Susan Graham (1) MUSE (1) Weezer (1) Metric (1) Plus a whole hoard of operas and touring classical acts and musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if they would be worth seeing now if they came around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Too many to count. But I have seen Rush 17 times (first in 82, greatest show ever) saw VH at their peak with Roth in 84, and got to see Garcia and the Grateful Dead twice, so there are some highlights.

CMWriter Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Some of these bands came with each other, but... - REO Speedwagon - Three Dog Night - The Guess Who - Bright Eyes (until it got canceled halfway through because of a massive storm) - Beach Boys - KC and the Sunshine Band - Kansas - Styx - Foreigner - Grand Funk Railroad And Rush, the only band I didn't see at the same place as the above bands. Also the only band I've had to pay to see. Unless you count the suggestion that people at the venue donate canned food or money for the food bank. There are also local bands I've seen perform; In Parentheses and The Groove Governors and some symphonic concerts (Omaha and Chicago symphonies).
