maxeystcharles Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hey guys, long time reader, infrequent poster. I may get crucified here but I think a lot of you will like it. My buddy started a podcast about rock/hard rock/metal. He is a huge Rush fan and the other host (who is Canadian ironically) doesn't like them at all. I think he does a good job defending them during the portion where they talk about Peart's retirement plans and he chooses them as the number one show he'd want to see right now. Let me know your thoughts if you listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSyYGwRd1_s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's an hour long. Not sure when I'll have time to listen to that but a thread about who you'd like to see live is interesting especially if it's all time. For me would beZep on physical graffiti tourFloyd dsotm or wywhSabbath circa volume 4 or sabbath bloody sabbath tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This is one that haunts me. I had a chance to see Stevie Ray Vaughn at our local county fair. But I usually don't like the hassle of live shows so I didn't go. This was his next to last concert and he died 3 days later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck is an amazing player. SRV blew my mind. I remember nothing from Beck's act. SRV came out, tipped his hat...and tapped into another realm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were excellent obviously. I actually snuck a tape recorder in the maiden show and recorded it. It was a GA admission and the floor was too chaotic to operate the recorded so I retreated to the front row of seats near stage which wasn't a bad spot either. Porcupine tree I saw at hard rock in Orlando so I was literally standing 20' away maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyle Lovett and His Large Band--Road to Ensenada tour Paul McCartney and Wings--Band on the Run Ozzy--Diary of a Madman--with one Randall RhoadsMissed my chance at seeing ozzy with randy. I did see him with Jake on guitar and motley Crüe opening on May 20, 1984 which was a make up date from when he hurt his throat with glass filming a video in February. I liked jakes stuff but never cared for the way he played Randy's songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw Wilson on the Raven Tour, his guitar during Harmony Korine was about a foot and a half away from my face! But the Fear of a Blank Planet Tour totally trumps that show, it's my favorite PT/SW album and they played the whole thing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen sabbath with Gillian and with Dio but never ozzy so I should try to go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always travel to see a band if I have to.Passing on Sabbath but I did buy my Marillion ticket.As you know I rip Howarth apart all the time, but I will always go to hear the music. Rothery is in my top 5. I've met him several times back in the Nineties. I'm very good friends with the boys in ENCHANT. I had SRV JEFF BECK tickets. I was too chicken to call in sick.

He didn't like my rawness. But I told him that he may never get another chance. They'd probably be done soon. So he did! Went twice stateside, saw them multiple times on two different tours, met loads of TRFers, and even scored some Peart drumsticks. He probably forgot my rawness about telling him he needed to go before it's too late but there it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
