<p>I saw Bruce in 1973. He was the opener for Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry at Cole Field House. Chuck Berry didn’t travel with a band so the E Street Band had to be Chuck’s band that night.</p>

<p>Most frequently seen band: The Grateful Dead 20 or so times. Not much by Deadhead standards. Also saw Santana and Earth, Wind, and Fire multiple times. </p>

<p>Once in a 10 day stretch I saw Stevie Wonder, Traffic, and Santana</p>

82

<p>Okay, I have to admit I have never been a Springsteen fan.</p>

<p>Anyone else ever see the Jeff healy band. He was a blind guitarist who played with the instrument on his lap. He died recently and I just thought about him</p>

83

<p>Agree about Red Rocks. Saw Joni Mitchell there. Her backing band consisted of Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays & Jaco Pastorius!</p>

84

<p>I saw Bruce AT Red Rocks. Very good show.</p>

85

<p>If you like Bruce Sprinstein check out the Arcade Fire. In fact Bruce likes them so much he has performed with them, and they have performed with him. The video is a little rough.</p>

<p>I liked Jeff Healy although I have never seen him live. :(</p>

<p>Someone who is local- who is fantastic live & plays dobro is [Jeff Fielder-](<a href=“http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/bands/band.asp?bandID=1199”>http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/bands/band.asp?bandID=1199&lt;/a&gt;)
highly recommended.
He really deserves a wider following. amazing.</p>

87

<p>Another band I’d love to see is Cowboy Junkies. Margot Timmins has an amazing voice.</p>

88

<p>Barrons, Robert Plant wants to focus on his solo stuff and with Alison Krauss , so no Zep tour this year.
I believe * Lez* Zep is playing Bonnaroo.</p>

89

<p>My best shows:</p>

<p>Neil Young - “Rust Never Sleeps” tour. 1978</p>

<p>R.E.M. circa 1984. A free show on the Livington campus @ Rutgers. </p>

<p>Talking Heads - “Stop Making Sense” tour. 20th row at Forest Hills Tennis Club in Queens. Amazing.</p>

<p>U2 - “War” tour. The Pier, New York city. 1982/3?</p>

<p>Steve Earle. “I Feel Alright” tour. Grafitti, Pittsbugh. Early 90s.</p>

<p>The Replacement final tour. Syria Mosque, Pittsburgh. 1986/7?</p>

<p>Barenaked Ladies. “Stunt” tour. Fun and tight. Mid 90s.</p>

<p>Would like to have seen: The Jam, The Smiths and The Clash at Bonds, NYC.</p>

90

<p>m&sdad–apparently, we listen to all the same music. Of your list, I would like to see or have been able to see Steve Earle, Replacements, BNL, Talking Heads, and Neil Young. Also the Clash, of course!</p>

<p>SAw U2 for the Pop, All that YOu Can’t Leave Behind, and Atomic Bomb tours. REM in 2000 and 2004, not sure what albums.</p>

91

<p>Would love to see Joe Henry again—he’s terrific. Anyone else know about him? He’s somehow related to Madonna.</p>

92

<p>Cant wait for our new 27yr old condutor of the LA PHIL.
Gustavo “the dude” Dudamel. I think he is hot.</p>

93

<p>I wish I had been present at Frank Sinatra’s August 20, 1982 “Concert for the Americas,” which inaugurated the Altos de Chavon Amphitheater (a magnificent 5,000-seat outdoor venue) in the Dominican Republic. Not only would I have been able to breathe the same air as Francis Albert, I would have also been able to feast my ears–and eyes–on two of my favorite drummers: Irv Cottler and Buddy Rich.</p>

94

<p>We have all the Joe Henry CDs. He’s out touring again after a few years out of sight.</p>

95

<p>Barrons–“we have al the Joe Henry CDs”<br>
Cool—I don’t know that many people who are THAT familiar with him or his music. He’s quite the storyteller if you listen to his lyrics. Some are pretty far out there. I saw him a few years ago on the east coast and the place wasn’t packed, but those of us who where there were impressed with his show. Had a great bunch of back up players with him.</p>

96

<p>We keep his cds in the car and listen to them often on long trips. He played up around DC about 4 years ago but it was too far to go (3 hrs) to see him. I’m sure he’ll stop in Seattle soon.</p>

97

<p>I’ve seen Bruce about 6 times including on this tour, which was fantastic. I was definitely out-Bruced by the (younger) woman sitting in front of me who had seen him in excess of fifty times - eight times on this tour alone. Clearly she does not have kids in college.</p>

<p>Would like to see Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney.</p>

<p>Best concerts - aside from Bruce (my kids and I are fans - I raised them right too) were The Who (1973 or 74) - Eric Clapton - Talking Heads on New Years Eve at CBGBs in New York (true, I had no clue who they were but was dragged along) … Paul Simon in Radio City recently - Stevie Wonder in about 1973 - saw him again this year - good, but not as good.</p>

<p>I’m still having a bit of trouble with people holding up their cell phones for encores instead of matches and lighters!</p>

98

<p>Update: earlier on this thread, I think I said I’d like to see REM but might skip to be frugal.</p>

<p>D called up last night to say she and S are taking me for my birthday. </p>

<p>Definitely raised them right. :)</p>

99

<p>Are you going to see REM at Sasquatch?</p>

<p>Just saw Eddie last night- Liam Finn ( dad is Neil Finn of Crowded House) opened & Ben Harper showed up as well :slight_smile:

<p>Opposite coast–Jones Beach, on Long Island.</p>

<p>Sounds like a great concert! I loved Crowded House, and their earlier iteration as Split Endz.</p>
