I've plans with my kids on the 2nd in NorCal. I'm getting too old to be torching the candle like I used to! :death:

'93??!!
That's crazy! Get out of the house man!! :headexplosion::baghead: I've been listening to some old favorites. I just listened to this...like five times...for the solo, which I love, in this song...
'93??!!
but here are some of the favorite concerts I've been to in no particular order:
You have to remember where I live. It's 3 hours to Baltimore, DC, or Pittsburgh to see any decent bands. This isn't San Jose where there are tons of venues to choose from and the furthest one is an hour away or less.
Not that you asked
1) Paul Revere and the Raiders - the only reason being that it was the very first show I saw with a major(?) act. Plus Mark Lindsey was so dreamy.
2) Tom Petty - which I took you to. Have seen him multiple times. He's always great!
3) George Thorogood at the Keystone in Palo Alto - a great venue. Btw never emulate "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.'
4) Any of the 4 Pink Floyd shows, especially 'Dark Side of the Moon,' 'Animals,' and 'The Wall.'
5) Any of the 3 Genesis concerts - 'A Trick of the Tail' being the best. All at the Cow Palace.
6) New Years Eve show at Winterland with Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, Sons of Champlin, and Quicksilver with Nicky Hopkins on piano.
7) Johnny and Edgar Winter at the Fillmore West.
8) Mountain at the Fillmore West.
9) Spirit at the Fillmore West.
10) Jethro Tull at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds
11) The Youngbloods with Jesse Colin Young, It's a Beautiful Day, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, Cold Blood. These were all separate shows at my old high school.
12) 2 Boston shows at Winterland.
13) 20 or more shows with Tower of Power at many venues.
14) Lynyrd Skynyrd with Marshall Tucker and the Outlaws at the Concord Pavilion.
15) Ronnie Montrose opening for AC/DC with Bon Scott at the San Jose Civic.
16) Deep Purple opening for the Moody Blues at the Oakland Coliseum(indoors).
17) All of the Day on the Green shows especially the one I took you to with Jeff Beck.
18) Ted Nugent opening for ZZ Top at the Cow Palace.
19) The Pretenders at some small venue in San Francisco.
20) Camel at some tiny club in San Francisco where they brought pitchers of Sangria right to your table.
21) Les Paul and the Guitar Legends at Villa Montalvo.
22) U2 at the Cow Palace in 1984.
Showing off? Nah, I'm just getting started. But this will do for the time being.:rockon:
:rolllaugh: I can't remember most of the concerts anymore. That tip in line 3) above could've helped before I went to all those shows! :burp: :homercrawl: Skynyrd most notably. They were a favorite of mine in my youth.

Move!
Nice! :cheers: Closest I came to that was having two LG cops going through my Subaru wagon looking for my keys while I was trying to sleep it off in the back of the car while parked behind the Black Watch. They brought my keys back to me at 8 the next morning with a tall cup of coffee and a donut. Of course, being the wise@$$, I asked them how they came across a donut?
:yess: I did thank them...I saw the Outlaws, Oakland Auditorium I believe...
How soon can you get there? My lease is up in March.Let's kick Bill out and move in together in the old house. Then I'll go to any concert you want.
I just saw Buddy Guy in August at UCLA. Pretty sure I told you that already. I was hoping to see BB King one more time... I did get to see him twice though. Caesar's Tahoe and Vegas.It seemed like it was more like one a week.
Well, I wasn't funded well enough for one a month, let alone one a week.
A few more came to mind - Little Feat opened for ELO at some small college. Electric Flag with Michael Bloomfield, Buddy Guy at San Jose State. Smokey Robinson, the Spinners, Bobby Blue Bland, BB King all at the Circle Star.

It's raining in SoCal...who's responsible this?
A couple of "Rainmaker" tunes...
...and the classic Rain Song...
surely you're not suggesting that you are not a fan of the greatest male vocalist of all time in Keith Partridge are you ?
