shows you wish you could attend again

[runmikeyrun]

For me, the Megadeth tour a couple years ago with Rust In Piece played in it's entirety is definitely one I wish I could attend again.

Tool on the Undertow tour.

Primus at Ozzfest in Vancouver, early 2000s. Amazing vibe with 1000s of people all pogoing.

Cave In, Jupiter tour, Euclid Tavern (Cleveland) with the best Dazed and Confused cover, ever.

Carcass tour I saw a couple years back. Absolutely amazing.

Green Day, Dookie tour, outdoor venue, spring, senior year, perfect weather, and all my friends were there.

Obituary, Cleveland Agora, early/mid 90s. Most brutal show I've ever attended, two broken legs in the pit that night.

Page/Plant, early/mid 90s. Amazing show. I still hate Rusted Root (they opened)

Then a bunch of local shows that I saw as a teenager; too many to list.

Steve Vai at the Chameleon Club here in Lancaster, PA a few weeks ago. I was front row right in front of Steve the whole show, and being in such a small club, it was just an amazing show.

Mr. Big at the Metron club in Harrisburg, PA on their first tour. Got to meet and hang out with Billy earlier that day, just an awesome show.

Motley Crüe 2011. I've seen them six times, but last years tour with Poison and the Dolls was the best I've seen.

[fjadams]

First Woodstock again, and actually get close enough to the stage to see the musicians. Oh, And actually be able to see what I was seeing, but then again, it was the 60s and seeing what you could see was not a requirement.

 

[Ewo]

Freekbass at the V Club in Huntington WV, Hallowe'en a couple years ago.

Roland Kirk with Elvin Jones (!) at Monmouth Mall in Eatontown NJ, way back in the '60s.
