[NorCalVol67]

Aerosmith is touring this fall.

They were way better before they got clean and had the mid to late 80s comeback.

 

[WestTennesseeFox]

They were way better before they got clean and had the mid to late 80s comeback.

It's a 50/50 chance that Steven/Joe or the Black Crowes beat the sh*t out of each other before the day of the concert.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

They were way better before they got clean and had the mid to late 80s comeback.

The wife and I saw them in Vegas years ago on my birthday. KISS opened up for them and tore the place down. They were awesome. Aerosmith came out and we’re just plain terrible. We left halfway thru because Steven Tyler was so screwed up he was forgetting words and slurring his speech. It was pretty bad.

First Concert: Van Halen-Fair Warning Tour 1981
Last Concert: Eagles-Hotel California Tour.....it was a very good concert!
Best Concert: Motley Crue-Girls, Girls, Girls Tour 1987 [simply because of the amount of boobs I saw]
Worst Concert: Some country band my wife wanted to see.....I do not remember the name. I am not a country music person at all!!!
Loudest Concert: Hard to say.....Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC, Motley Crue, KISS, Judas Priest all were loud!
Seen the Most: KISS-every time they come to [as Paul Stanley says] "Knockersville" since 1983. I do not recall missing a concert.
Most Surprising: David Lee Roth, Def Leppard, White Snake, and ZZ Top were much better than I anticipated. Guns N' Roses was much worse than I anticipated.
Next Concert: KISS-End of the Road Tour in November
Wish I Could Have Seen: Original Lynyrd Skynyrd

I went to many concerts from the early 80's to the mid-late 90's then that Seattle bullsh!t happened and rock music went to Hell. Personally, I like listening to "Hair Nation"/"Big Hair," Classic Rock, Southern Rock, and [believe it or not] some Disco. Absolutely, No rap!!!

Can't believe you missed Bowie but I whiffed on Prince. I'm gonna have to search web to see whene the near misses cameo/
Lucky to see Bowie at Fox Theatre in STL, with Stereophonics opening, Intimate show in great venue. Kinda envious that son was a regular there until his first child was born.

But, geez, It's an impossible task to rate concerts

The Seattle BS saved rock from the sh*tty hair bands like Motley Crew and Poison.
