Hey everyone...I'm kinda bored this morning so I figured I'd do something "constructive".
I'm sure I'll add more to it later but here's a few shows I WISH I would've seen or been alive for.

Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy tour
The Doors - Any
Hendrix - ANY
Journey - pretty much any pre-Escape shows
Styx - Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight tours
The Police - Synchronicity tour
Def Leppard - High and Dry and Pyromania tours
Journey - Polo grounds show (JSS's last show)

That's all I can really think of right this second. More to come...how about y'all?

Almost forgot... Rush - All the tours before T4E

Van Halen opening for Sabbath in 78
Kiss's DESTROYER tour (76)
Bowie's STATION TO STATION tour (76?)
Live Aid
Springsteen's DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN tour (78 )
ANY tour QUEEN ever did!

Journey - Evolution/Departure tours (e.g. Rollie, Perry, Smitty)
U2 - Red Rocks in Colorado (from the Sunday, Bloody Sunday video)
Rush - Moving Pictures tour
Van Halen - any tour with Diamond Dave

Disappointed I never got to see Led Zeppelin LIVE in their heyday.

Current bands I want to see LIVE...

Nickelback
Puddle Of Mudd
Dishwalla
Metallica

Any of the Journey shows with Steve Perry.Missing them will be the only thing I'll regret on my dying day.

Laura, sorry you never got to see a Perry/Journey show.
I know it's not the same, but the 81 Houston DVD, (which I'm sure you own and love!) really does capture the ethos and energy of those days.

You know,the Houston show IS the reason why I feel so sad about not seeing the real thing.If the energy level can get through a TV screen like that,I can only imagine what it might have been like to be actually THERE.


Oh well,I try to compensate with crazy rollercoaster rides.

Wow...There are lots of shows I would've liked to have been around for or old enough to go see...

Led Zeppelin "Physical Graffiti" tour
AC/DC "For Those About to Rock" tour
Boston "Third Stage" tour
Def Leppard "Hysteria" tour
Foreigner "4" tour
Iron Maiden "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" tour
Journey "Escape" tour
Kansas "Monolith" tour
Megadeth "Rust in Peace" tour
Metallica "...And Justice for All" tour
Any tour by Queen
Any of the first several Tesla tours
U2 "The Joshua Tree" tour
Van Halen "5150" tour
Rush "A Farewell to Kings" tour & "Hold Your Fire" tour
Styx "Grand Illusion" & "Paradise Theater" tour
Dream Theater "Images and Words" tour & "Metropolis, Pt. 2" tour
Yes "Fragile", "Close to the Edge", "Relayer", "Going for the One", and "90125" tours

Yep, I agree, the energy from that show jumps right out and pulls you into the screen, doesn't it?

So you like roller coasters too, huh?
I could ride in the front car on the Batman roller coaster at Six Flags--ALL DAY LONG!
I grew up with a stomach for it because I used to fly in an open cockpit bi-plane with my dad when I was a kid.

Any concert that Steve Perry performed in. MISSED THEM ALL and I shoot myself on a daily basis because of it.

Any Rolling Stones concert -- still haven't the money to see them at the time they are in town.

Remind me to take you to Magic Mountain while you are here then.

Bands / Artists I'd like(d) to see live:

Steve Perry
Journey
Fleetwood Mac
Jackson Browne
Tracy Chapman
Elton John
Phil Collins
Danger Danger
Andy Timmons
Ted Poley
Huey Lewis & The News
The Outfield
Rush
Def Leppard
Billy Joel
Jackson 5 / Jacksons
..

Just off the top of my head.

bradwjensen,

If you get to see Rush on their current tour for Snake and Arrows, you should definitely go. Those guys can STILL get the job done, even after all these years.

The Outfield opened for Journey on the ROR tour, at least they did here in Atlanta.

Hehe...Nice!

Last time I had a crazy ride was last year in Vegas,at NY NY.200 feet up in the air,140 feet drop down and something like 100 milesperhour.
Lots of negative Gs and one earring missing,LOL!
I'm sure I would have described a Perry/Journey show the same way!

Usually,it's better to take off anything that would fly off...LOL.Should have done that with my earrings,but I didn't imagine it was going to be such a shaky ride.


Btw,Dave...A four week vertigo? Rollercoaster ride? Tell me which,I wanna try it.

I got sick and dizzy at work one day back in April. I drove home, which I shouldn't have done because I'm lucky I didn't crash and kill myself and/or someone else. I threw up in my truck about a mile from home. I threw up again after I got home. I basically spent three weeks lying down. Just barely moving my head would make me dizzy and sick.

Michael Jackson, his Thriller tour was huge and I had tickets!
I didn't go at the last minute because I was afraid they really would fire me from my summer job (1983 or 84?) oh brother...
regrets.

I've always considered myself VERY fortunate that I saw Perry/Journey several times in concert, but I wish, wish, wish that I could have seen him in FTLOSM Band!!! I sadly know I missed a fantastic show!!!!
