[ABrokenMan]

First concert - thanks to my older cousins, I got to see the Who in 1977. Wild!

After that I saw many different types of shows, especially during my late teens / early 20s as I was the music director at the college radio station for 3 years. Got to wrangle lots of free tickets to shows. Looking at my list, I rarely listen to any of these bands/performers nowadays.

Here we go, somewhat in order by year thru the end of 1985:
Kinks
ELO
Joe Jackson
Romantics (in '79 and again in 2005)
Iron Maiden (5 or 6 times)
Judas Priest (ditto above)
Van Halen (Fair Warning, Diver Down and 1984 tours)
April Wine
Heart
John Cougar Mellencamp
Genesis
Blondie
Tower Of Power
James Brown
Wilson Pickett
Earth Wind & Fire
Deep Purple
Molly Hatchet
38 special
AC/DC
Twisted Sister (when they were still just playing bars before they got their record deal)
Y&T with Grim Reaper & Quiet Riot (a Halloween bash)
Chuck Berry
Blotto
Squeeze
REM
Madness
Asia
Living Color
Stevie Ray Vaughn
George Thorogood
Motorhead
Plasmatics (the loudest concert ever - i thought I had gone deaf)
Police
Hall & Oates
Ramones x3
NRBQ (at least 15 times from '81 to late 90s)

By 1986, I had graduated college and joined my own group so i didn't have a lot of time to travel to shows. Still, I always went out after rehearsals or gigs to see & support local and scene oriented bands in local bars.
When free time offered the rare chance, I managed to head out and catch numerous underground garage rock groups in New York City during the mid 80s to late 90s. Still try and venture out when i can health willing. Nothing beats catching a band when they are "on".

The more famous bands I saw:
Rolling Stones (1989 Steel Wheels tour - luckily got to see them play in a bar called Toad's Place for a surprise unannounced show before going out on tour since they frequently rented a secluded mansion here in Connecticut to rehearse before touring)
The Damned (1991 x2 reunion shows in NYC and Boston)
Nirvana (1991 played locally in a bar a week or so after 'Nevermind' was released. I remember hanging at the bar with a few pals drinking brews before the show and both Dave and Krist came over to chat with us)

Show I am most embarrassed to have attended:
dual bill: Little River Band and Air Supply in 1982. I was 19
A girl I had the hots for as a college freshman really wanted to go. While I could stomach LRB for one night, Air Supply was really aural torture for me. But the possibilities for after the show possibilities convinced me to take her out. She made it seem like she would really show her appreciation, if I took her to see her fave groups.
So I took her and hoped I'd get some action at the end of the show.
Hope turned to Hope-less.
Lesson learned!

[TheSkaFish]

Roger Waters (bassist and songwriter of Pink Floyd) - once
Rancid - twice
NOFX - once
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - once
Magic Castles - once

I can't believe I forgot the mention Tame Impala in my list. I saw them once too.

And, as of last night, Black Sabbath.

Music can save lives.
There is a song or track for how ever your feeling.
I bet your knowledge of music is vast.

When I first left school I had a job on Y.T.S
I could not afford albums so just used to buy signals every week.
I would weekly end up singing a track to the guy in H.M.V cos I could never remember the songs name only what it sounded like and he always know what I wonted.
He used to see me and be for I said anything he would say Cmon then sing to me lol. It got to be quite a funny thing
You I think based on that list would be good in that job.
