Best gig attended? (hardcore, pearl jam, Tool, quote, band)

Highway_Star · 12-23-2004, 10:58 AM

Not even close tbh - Deep Purple in '93 - Smoke on the Water with the lineup that did it in '72 blows quo away tbh :P

Ozzfest 2001 also quality and as for Dynamo open air....

Company for Quo was just fine!

ive been to so many good shows, hard to pick a favorite. But one of the funnest that comes to mind is:
The Meatmen w/ The Pietasters, Wellington, Section 8, some other local bands
I remember it being a full moon, cuz Tesco Vee kept mentioning it. A few local bands played first (dont remember who), then my band (section 8) played which pretty much wore me out. Luckily Wellington played next and the crowd got a nice rest while we all sat down on the floor while they played their butt rock metalish set. Then the place came alive again when The Pietasters took the stage (one of the most energetic ska bands i think ive seen) and The Meatmens set was so fun, tesco came out in his all white ABBA jumpsuit complete with rhinestones, and rocked the place, shooting the crowd with his super ping pong ball gun in between songs. A pretty crazy night that ended up with a nice doobie being smoked with Tesco in the parking lot afterwards, making fun of the goths that were showing up for the clubs "after hours" scene.

I've been going to shows since 1980 (I was 15 - you do the math) and I have seen upwards of 400 at this point. Could not possibly pick a "best" but a few stand out in my addled memory.....

Pearl Jam on the "Ten" tour at Jannus Landing in St. Pete www.jannuslanding.net
CSN at Candlestick in San Fran 1984
Ziggy Marley at Embarcadero in San Diego 1994
Rainbow (Ritchie Blackmore smoked!!) at Lakeland Civic Center in 1982

there are many more - I have two shoeboxes full of stubs......
