Post your favorite concert memory..........

Going to my first ever concert in 1980 and seeing the excellent Blackfoot opening up for the Scorpions.

Seeing for the first time my favourite guitarist Schenker with his band MSG in 1981.

Attending The Monsters Of Rock festival at Donington in 1986 with Ozzy, Scorpions and Def Leppard (when they were great)and having bottles of piss hit me repeatedly on the head.

LOL! I'm sorry but that actually made me laugh out loud, reading that at my desk here at work.

Did you happen to attend the concert with Parfait? Maybe they weren't aiming at you.

ok, I think the most memorable one for me was a Butch Walker show a couple of years ago. For those unaware, he's better known as a songwriter and producer for a lot of big names happening at the moment (Pink, Avril Lavigne, etc), but he's also got a bit of a ferocious live following as a solo artist and, quite simply, puts on one heck of a rock show. Either way, he was playing at this club/theatre packed fairly tight and for the encore came out without the band with just an acoustic guitar. He jumped into the crowd and went to about the middle of the floor and motioned for everyone to sit down, then sat down himself and did the last song totally unplugged as a campfire-singalong with no mics or anything. VERY cool experience.

Saw him twice opening for Avril (took my daughters). He was great. His albums to me never came close to what he does live. He writes a lot of the songs I like these days, including several with Train.
