When you saw Van Halen, did you scream "Eddie s*cks" or sneak back stage to beat him up for stealing your girl ? :lol: :D

Concerts I have seen :

Doobie Brothers
Allman Brothers (had a BLAST at this one)

Majority of these were during my late teens/early 20's.

Alice Cooper (my first concert, put on a fantastic show, he wasn't just about music, it was a whole performance with characters, special effects...)
Eleven (they were the opening band for Transvision Vamp, but as we were standing in line we were told that Wendy James, the lead singer of Vamp passed out on the bus. Fortunately Eleven turned out to be really good, and I own their CDs)
Concrete Blonde
Crash Test Dummies
Camper Van Beethoven
The Dead Milkmen
Ween
Social Distortion
Sonic Youth
Lydia Lunch
Snow Bud And The Flower People (Oregon band)


In my early 20's I frequented Satyricon in Portland, OR. At that time it was the go to place for the hot alternative/indie bands of the time:

Juliana Hatfield when she was touring with The Lemonheads (I know I've told the story before so I won't repeat it, but long story short, Juliana bumped int o me and spilled water on me...)
The Muffs
Mary's Danish
Violent Femmes
Tanya Donelly (Solo, and when she was with Throwing Muses)
Mudhoney
Dharma Bums
GWAR
Heatmiser (Oregon band)
Meat Puppets
Nirvana (unfortunately I don't think it was the night Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love met)
Mojo Nixon
Butthole Surfers
L7
Pavement



Also frequented La Luna in Portland:

The Dandy Warhols (Oregon band)
Hitting Birth (Oregon band)
Sublime
Everclear (probably one of the more successful alternative bands to come from Oregon)
Sweaty Nipples (Oregon band)
Pond (Oregon band, not to be confused with the Australian band)
Hazel (Oregon band)

In 1992 I went to Lollapalooza when it was at Portland Meadows:
(Below are the ones I remember seeing, I may have seen others, but I spent a lot of time in the beer tent so a lot of it is a blur)

Primus
Alice In Chains
Rage Against The Machine
Fishbone
Tool
Babes In Toyland

I was supposed to see Aerosmith in 2009, until Steven Tyler broke his shoulder during a prior concert when he fell off the stage. Whitesnake was down here a few years ago but I didn't fell well enough to go, so I gave my ticket to my mom and brother. Was supposed to see Cher a second time in 2015 until her kidney infection canceled the tour. Janet Jackson postponed her recent tour, so i will have to wait until next year possibly. I didn't stick around long for the John Mellencamp one last year because my stomach was getting sick and I had to go home. Here's a list of the ones I attended:

Def Leppard/Journey (Klipsch Music Center, Noblesville, Indiana, 7/22/06)

KISS/The Envy (Indiana State Fair, Indianapolis, Indiana, 8/9/10)

Def Leppard/Heart (Klipsch Music Center, Noblesville, Indiana, 8/12/11), Judas Priest/Black Label Society/Thin Lizzy (Prairie Capitol Convention Center, Springfield, Illinois, 11/9/11)

Van Halen/Kool & the Gang (Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana, 2/22/12), Heart (Horseshoe Casino, Hammond, Indiana, 7/6/12), Iron Maiden/Alice Cooper (Klipsch Music Center, Noblesville, Indiana, 7/19/12), Def Leppard/Poison/Lita Ford (Kilpsch Music Center, Noblesvile, Indiana, 8/24/12)

Pam Tillis

I love Pam so much. She still sings just as wonderfully as she always has and she has such a great stage presence. So funny and engaging. And the fact that she still insists on doing a meet and greet with her fans after almost every show makes her a true class act.

I agree! I got to meet her after the show. It was a small show...of course, she isn't going to bring in the people she used to but it was still an awesome intimate show. I got a few pictures of her while she was autographing photos.

I told her I was going to see Dolly Parton the next week and she told me a little about her while she was working on the "Romeo" song.

She's a super sweet, true, down-to-earth lady.
