DON'T LAUGH AT ME...

Pearl Jam!

I swear, since the early 90's when they hit the scene,
I have been deployed EVERY FUCKING TIME they have
come to a venue near by!!! :evil:

I know most of you here think Vedder is a terrible "Singer" but, to me,
Vedder ISN'T a "Singer"...
He's a "Storyteller". Big Difference. :wink:

There's really no one out there I HAVE to see before I die. However, there are a few I would have LOVE to have seen before I kick off...

Queen circa 1977
AC/DC on the "For Those About to Rock" tour
Van Halen in 1982 and 1986
Led Zeppelin, "Houses of the Holy" era
Dokken, "Back for the Attack" tour
Foreigner on the "Inside Information" tour
Iron Maiden, "World Slavery" tour
Journey, "Escape" tour
Metallica, "...And Justice for All" tour
Queensryche, "Operation: Mindcrime" tour
Deep Purple, Mark IIa lineup
Kansas, "Point of Know Return" tour
Yes on the "Close to the Edge", "Relayer", and "Going for the One" eras

I've seen some of the shows you listed (in bold)
and, of all of them, Metallica on that tour was INCREDIBLE!
Dokken was probably the worst since the friction between Dokken
and Lynch was carrying over to the stage and Don looked
like a bloated stuck pig in his spandex :shock:

they opend up for KISS on the Crazy Nights tour.. AND they were great.. Pride was a great album for its time.. not so much 20 years later.. but then it was lots of fun.. Vito played a solo and Tramp introduced him as New Yorks answer to SRV.. he played very cool...

Posted: **Tue May 20, 2008 11:03 am**

Dave,

Vito was a fuckin machine back then. Bratta was arguably the best guitarist on the planet at that time (Schon was spanking the monkey then). The guy was WAY under rated and was a unique player that could hammer speed and technique as fast as anyone while also being able to play the soulful solos as well.

Larry, what do you think? You're a connoisseur of guitarists and a player. Talk to me brother.

L8r man,

Aaron

Trust me...you're not missing anything. I surprised by now ex boyfriend(who was a DIE HARD fan)a couple years ago with tix for his birthday and even HE was disappointed. I think they played two songs anyone knew. Saw them open for Tom Petty two years ago and while it was better and they threw more bones to fans who had been with them from the beginning, it was still bad.

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2008 2:00 am**

Why would your bucket list consists of tours already past? That's silly.

Hmmm...who haven't I seen yet....some of these are mute cuz not all the members are there, but I'd like to see anyway:

U2
AC/DC
The Cars
Neil Diamond
The Who
Santana
Alice Cooper(who I am seeing in August)
Rod Stewart
Led Zeppelin
The Go-Go's :lol:

I have been almost damn lucky to see everyone else I've wanted too at least once, especially the Police!

Yea, Ive heard that they have gotten "soft" or "boring" Live...
Now, from 91' thru, say... 96'???
They were on FIRE!
And that's because Eddie was an emotional wreck, hating the world,
angry at everything...
Their first 3 albums were so emotion filled/driven.
Then he went and got married to Allison, got happy, became a dad
and it was all downhill again!

Someone needs to piss Eddie off again :lol:

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2008 4:11 am**

I've seen everyone I've wanted to except for Prince. I was on my way to his show at the Gorge a few years ago and my friggin car blew a head gasket going over Snoqualmie Pass. Never made it...
Grrrr.....

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2008 4:21 am**

MUST see..........

Heaven and Hell or Sabbath w/Dio
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Led Zeppelin

Posted: **Wed May 21, 2008 5:45 am**

This year, Im seing Def leppard, Whitsnake, Journey, and Tyketto, JSS, Tall Stories Valentine and PInk creme 69 (the last five at Firefest.) that will keep me pretty happy this year but the only concert I ABSOLUTELY gotta see is the 2009 Along Came A Spider Tour by Alice Cooper. Apparently the set will be done as a 40's murder mystery radio programme based on the new songs from Along Came a Spider, which is a mystery about a serial kiler. Alice says fans will be playing detective between songs, entertained by the music and intrigued by the story.

The only one I JUST HAVE TO SEE would be SP and that is just a fantasy (well, maybe a miracle will occur). But, for reality...I just watched an old video on VH1 this morning of "America" and thought to myself "hmmm...that guy was rather cute" (Dewey Bunnell), so I looked them up online and see they are playing nearby in Nov., I think I will go. Remember, Dewey was the one that was singing, "Can't fall asleep to a lullabye" and SP walked out on stage? Not that I believe that will ever happen in Nov. lol., but it is one of my fave songs.

Also, saw Sarah Bareilles (spelling) on Regis/Kelly (I rarely, rarely watch them) and I do like her and she said she is touring with both Maroon 5 and Counting Crows! Love both those groups. Man, I wish I had the luxury to go to lots of concerts.

I'll try for Journey at the Greek at the end of the summer.
