I saw KISS on their 2000 Farewell tour... :rolleyes: (It's basically still going on. )

I also have seen a slew of bands who have stopped by the venues around here. I saw Ray Romano and Kevin James. I also saw Weezer one time with a friend.

Then, in 7th grade, I saw this Band called "Beatlemania". They are a professional Beatles cover group. I was flat out amazed. I had never seen people who looked like and acted like the Beatles so well.

I heard this summer,(Now in college) that a band called "1964:The Tribute" was going to be playing at a local venue. Remembering the 7th grade experience I picked up the phone and ordered tickets right then. I went and saw the number one Beatles Cover band In The World. These guys have been touring the world for over 20 years and have since perfected their appearences and voices and mannerisms of the original Beatles like a science. The guys joked on stage just like the Beatles and werw absolutely 100% pure Beatles. I, nor could my fellow Beatles expert friend, tell the difference in any noticeable way. Their voices and style of playing was 100% the same. I loved it, and would recomment it to any Beatles fan out there. Ringo came to watch them one time and said he's never seen anything like it. Go and check it out man. I was blown away. Being in the front row center also made it unbelieveable. I must have called right when they started advertising for seats.

Doc

TIS, I am SO jealous. I love Elvis. How cool that you got to see him on New Year's Eve. I bet it was awesome.

Hmmmm...I saw Megadeth twice in 96/97 (I was eleven and twelve). I also went to a Korn/Rob Zombie concert in 99; the mosh pit was too cool.

I went to Funker Vogt a couple of weeks ago. I love everything except for the whole right knee blowing out thing in the pit. That was probably my favorite show (again, exept for the injury). My friend got an email saying that we, the crowd, rocked so hard that Funker Vogt was amazed and wants to come back next year. It would have been cooler if we were invited back stage, but that almost never happens.

Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden, in 1972 or '73 (Stevie Wonder was the opening act).

One of Elton John's very first live U.S. appearances at the Fillmore East in NYC. The headliner for that show was Leon Russell, which is who I had come to see.

And just about every "classic rock" band you can name from 1969-1971 at the Fillmore.

Including the Allman Brothers.

Blake- Did you ever make it to the warped tour?

Including the Allman Brothers. [/b][/quote]Several times. They always seemed to tour with the J. Geils Band, and they did many shows together at the Fillmore.

I also saw Duane with E.C. and Derek & The Dominoes.

Plaw, that is SO cool. TIS, you too. Music isn't the same anymore. You were very fortunate... Right place, right time. I wish I was around in the 60s and 70s. Sometimes when my mom says something cool like that, that she did, just to get on her nerves, I say, "Wow!! I wish I was that old!!"

She just says, "Kid, you're asking for a fresh one." Can you believe that? Almost 20 years old, and I'm still getting threatened with a "fresh one."

Sadly, no. I would have gaven almost anything to go but it was'nt in my city and all of me and my friends plans kind of fell apart. Now that I get my liscence in a couple months, it's not happening again. Did you go?

Nah, but I really wanted to though. I had work, and most of my friends just blew it off anyway. I definetly want to go next year though.
