RANT- Concert Experiences, Part 2!

[@marctoupin3968]

I saw Fish live in Montreal in 1997. I spent almost the entire show on stage. Short story, I’m wheelchair bound and two or three songs into the show, he invited his roadies to get me up on stage because he was worried for my safety. One of the best nights of my live.

[@neugey]

As I get older sometimes I find it harder to remember the good times. But when I think back to some of the concerts I've seen it comes easier. Thanks for sharing these Pete, they cheer me up.

[@tomsuzyinfluencerinfj2712]

Saw YES in 77, Wakeman was back, a non-seated hall, we all sat cross-legged on the floor, enjoying the concert. Saw Pink Floyd, The Wall performed live 1981, black market ticket was DM 200 (concert was sold out in minutes). just wow. Also saw Floyd in 77, Animals/Wish you were here tour, flying pig...

OMG.. You must have missed quite a few days of work !! Such a packed decade during your twenties !! No wonder that you are so well versed on so many levels. Another enjoyable post. Thanks, Pete..

I love these videos, Pete!

[@zuckyd1]

I was also at that Pink Floyd show at Yankee Stadium!

[@ElTorroTheMan]

Great stories again. You´re the man Pete. 😁🤘

[@MrToband]

Saw Metallica in Lubbock Texas in 1989,they played for 3 damn hours.

[@mobeerman9487]

Saw that show in Dallas it was epic.

[@tomfisher2103]

Great list of shows.

[@ltw6346]

Wow you saw YES in the round. I love that concert. I've seen it on KZbin quite a few times and it's my favorite.

[@petermarino2580]

I was also at that Who show in 2002. They were loud and I was pretty high up. It was also the last tour they played as a 4 piece with just a keyboard player

[@birderybirdery]

The '90s were big Yes years for me too. saw them in 93 with Rabin/Kaye "Talk" tour. and 96 with Howe on "Open your eyes". good times.:)

[@genekersten1784]

My top 3 concerts. 1 The New Barbarians, (Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Stanley Clarke, Ian McGlagen, Bobby Keys, Ziggy Moldestie) 2 Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon, when they rocked. Rex 3 Yes in the round.

[@alantattersall3190]

In the 60's I was a huge Bert Jansch fan and I Also loved John Renbourne so when Pentangle came to Melbourne in '71(?) I was so excited, spent 15$ on a ticket and drove 150 miles to the gig. After 20 minutes I walked out in disgust. They had not completed one song, they were falling about on stage starting songs then stopping, all completely stoned. I have forgiven them now but I was pissed off at the time.

[@sidneypasquarelli2122]

I've seem some great jazz concerts! Mcglauhlin, Dimeola, De Lucia, Pat Metheny, Jeff Beck, Larry Coryell, Stanley Clarke, Baden Powell, Egberto Gismonti, Milton Nascimento, Dave Brubeck Quartet...... Great musicians! The shows were in the 80's and 90's in Montreal!

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

All of the above, Sidney...stand outs would be Pat Metheny [and Charlie Haden], Jeff Beck would have been a blast. .....plus for me, Bill Frisell [Ron Carter and Paul Motian...''Worse and Worse'' ''Pretty Polly'' and ''Monroe'' hot tracks] I would love to have seen Jean Luc Ponty as well.

I saw Bowie in 2004 as well. And this summer a Bowie tribute band is playing by me in a venue bigger than the place I saw that 2004 Bowie show.

[@astrogoodvibes6164]

Considering I live in Australia, we got to see some pretty fine acts over the years here. I saw George Benson and Stephane Grappelli in '81, Status Quo in '79 '81 and '84, AC/DC and Santana in '81, Johnny Winter in '87, David Bowie in '88, Ray Charles in '86, Sade in '87, Neil Young and Crazy Horse in '87, Steely Dan in 2009 and 2012, Deep Purple in 1998 [got me a plectrum and a song sheet] Robert Plant on his Big Log tour in 1982, Steve Winwood in 2012, Chuck Berry in 1989, George Thorogood and the Destroyers in '86. Frank Zappa got banned from Australia in '82 but I was ready to buy tickets. I missed seeing Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZTop and I'm spewin now coz I had a chance and I had the money.

You've had so many very interesting concert experiences, Pete! I could mention a few too1 Lol Did you ever see an Amnesty International Show? I did i, forget the date, though! Great marathon show!

[@weilandiv8310]

My friends hated that I saved my stubs. Not macho... but for such a small piece of paper, it tells volumes, if you just listen to the owner. My older sister saw so many badass shows but doesn't recall anything about them (except for when Billy Idol looked at her)

[@angusvanhalen2886]

man, I just watched parts 1 and 2, about to watch 3. I hope AC/DC is in there

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Only just saw them for the first time a few years ago.

Sea of Tranquility lol, I watched pt 4 last night. That’s awesome. I’m not into much metal or prog, but love your enthusiasm man. Great channel, love the vids

[@deanpesaturo6401]

I think it was actually Chick Corea on the drums that night

[@noogie1]

So jealous of how much DT you have seen, The Musical Box is beyond words how spot on of a Genesis cover band they are!

[@rickleblanc8900]

Saw The Musical Box twice and they were awesome. You swore you were seeing and hearing the real thing !

[@4themusicman]

Pete, I've been wondering for some time now if you were in attendance for any of the recorded DT shows? I've tried to listen and catch the venues but can't ascertain specifically if you were. I'm speaking of the Live Scenes From New York concert, the Score album, and also the Breaking The Fourth Wall experience. I guess the latter wasn't that long ago so maybe you touch on that concert later. I don't want to leave out Live at the Budokan, Live at the Marquee, and Live at Luna Park. But I'm not sure you leave the States to see shows. Anyway, just curious.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

Yep, as I've mentioned before, I was at the Octavarium show at Radio City Music Hall.

[@4themusicman]

@@seaoftranquilityprog I heard you mention being at the Octavarium concert but didn't realize that and Score were one in the same. Thank you for the clarification.

[@MRB16th]

I'm not sure you know some of these bands, but I've seen the Living End, Silverchair, Powderfinger and - at Soundwave in Melbourne - blink-182 and Stone Sour. All of them great experiences.

[@darlatidwell6255]

The only concert I went to in the 90's was The Arc Angels.

[@moonspell6759]

killer shows!! In 2005 at Sounds of the Underground in Saskatoon, the drummer from Opeth was ill and couldn't play....so they got a replacement...Gene Hoglan!! He was there b/c SYL was there...

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

I've got some stories from the same tour coming up!

[@erickziglar7967]

The OJ chase happened on June 17 1994 so it was the Metallica show that you were watching the Oj chase.

[@Fritha71]

That was the opening day of the World Cup 94 in the US. It's amazing; the rest of the world - me very much included - was glued to their TV watching the first football ( soccer ) match of the tournament while the Americans were glued to their TV following the chase of a domestic football player.

[@luiscardenas930]

Wow you saw Luis Miguel! Did he wear a suit and he sang mostly bolero ballads? Does your wife own rock en Espanol cds? I know you don't specialize in music in other languages like Spanish but have you heard rock or metal in Spanish like the Argentine metal band Rata Blanca(check out their song " guerrero del arcoiris") they are compared to Malmsteen, Halloween, Maiden.

[@brooksskol1352]

Pete what was the capacity at the Chance? Seems like alot of great shows...

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

The Chance is still there having shows (well, not at the moment obviously)-I think it holds 600-700 at capacity if I'm not mistaken. I will say, a packed Chance is pretty uncomfortable.

[@johnbenard9550]

Wow Pete, too bad you didn't get into yes earlier, missed the Drama Tour and 90125. I was into them since 1978, saw them on the Drama Tour, Boston Garden Sept 1980 90125 Tour twice May 1984 at the Worcester Centrum. and Sept 1984 Boston Garden. Awesome Shows, Rabin was such a great addition to the band, dying to see an album released By ARW version of Yes. Which was promised but yet to happen. Kudos on Running into Mr. Holdsworth, only famous musician I ever ran into was Brad Delp, saw him watching the starting Band at a Club when he was with RTZ, approached him and got him to sign my RTZ T-Shirt. Before they took the stage. Was great like seeing bands in a small venue, more personal that way, beers right at your table, lol.

[@seaoftranquilityprog]

I was into them, just hadn't gotten the bug to go see them, though I did try to get tickets for MSG on the Drama tour...well, my father tried to get them. Sold out.

[@patrickcrowther9195]

I don’t know what tickets are like these days in the States, but in the U.K. they’re printed so badly now that you can’t even read them after a couple of years. I’ve got tickets from the 1980s that look as good as new but some from 2015 that are completely illegible.

You did'nt go to the Clash of the Titans in 1991? Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Alice in Chains

[@cangong]

I did, in L.A.! back then, i already liked 'alternative' heavy rock (soundgarden, voivod, bad brains, jane's addiction, faith no more, mudhoney, etc), but AIC seemed to me a bit fake, like a glam band gone druggie-tough. i saw them a lot that year, as openers for megadeth. however, i must say, they always sounded better than the headliners ha! a few years later i did get into AIC and now love them with Duvall on vox. even saw them like six months ago in Mexico and they were oh so very precise and just spot on. on the other hand, i liked nirvana since 'bleach', but also saw them live in 91 in L.A., headliner was Dinosaur Jr. can't remember the month, but it was a few months before nevermind came out. and to be honest, i did like them, thought they were quite a noisy bunch of punks, but never thought i was witnessing history in the making! Dino were so much better (and even louder, of ocurse). imho, that dat at the 'clash of the titans' thing, AIC and slayer were the better bands, at least sound-wise.
