I’ve seen Dylan @15 times & there aren’t many bigger fans of his than me. About 1/3 of his shows I’ve gone to have been, uh, less than peak performance to put it nicely. Saw the Allmans 5 times, very good to great every time…
Favorite Live Concerts?
- Thread starter Mark Milton
- Start date
The other concert was The Eagles. I went to The Who, Stones, Eagles , Rod Stewart that year(s) at AH, even though I was a young pup at the time. I also saw David Bowie in Evansville maybe a year or two later. Great show. Or maybe the Eagles was a year or two later? Faded memories! 😊

Great show! Daryl Hall sat on the edge of the stage and sang a capella at the end of the show. Very talented artist
No love for Daryl Hall? He’s got a great voice-or at least he did.
I like his show where other artists came to his home and recorded, but “Hall and Oates” of the pop charts was not my thing.

Stick to little water head boys plucking the three string..
'Sarah Smile' prettiest ballad ever....
.but then I like Eric Church 'Wreckin' Ball'
That's a panty dropper right there...
OK, you've got me curious now. How did you find an Amish crew? May sound like a dumb question, but can they read blueprints? Did you have to supervise them?
We have a handyman/contractor in Florida who is from Puerto Rico (US citizen now) who was brought up to West Lafayette by a Purdue prof to do some house renovations.
I've seen the Allmans several times and each was a great show.
I have friends who are big Allman fans and who have been disappointed because the entire show was a big jam session. Some people like that, others don't. I don't mind some jamming, but I do want to hear actual songs. My theory is, it all depends on the amount of druge that were consumed pre-concert by the band (and audience).
Never saw Bowie, which is a huge disappointment.
I thought that Eagles concert was a year or two later. Because I went with my fiance, who I didn't meet until a couple years after '75-'76. Whatever, it was a helluva year for concerts.
In fact, Joe Walsh didn't join the Eagles until at least later in '75. I went to a concert in Wembley Stadium the summer of '75, while I was still in the Army and it was the Beach Boys, Joe Walsh (on his own), the Eagles, and Elton John and his revamped band (which I thought sucked - Elton was good, but his band wasn't that great).
The Eagles invited Joe on stage and he played with them and then later that year or next, joined them in the band.
That was my last harrah in the Army - I got out a couple weeks later. I ran out of money in the UK and prayed I didn't get asked for a train ticket on the way back to my duty station from Frankfurt. Because I had NO ticket and money - no change, even.
I see Bob Seger turned 80 today. I saw him once, about 12 years ago, and I was really looking forward to it. Everything seemed off. He even skipped a verse of Turn the Page, he said he'd never done that before. It was a disappointing show, Live Bullet is why I became a Seger fan and I was hoping for that vibe. I don't know why, adding a bridge to combine Travelin Man and Beautiful Loser makes the combination just an amazing song IMHO. Of course, he didn't do that the night we saw him.
Sedalia Ozark fest in the 70s. My god what that crowd must have been like
I grew up close to montgomery. My grandma knew the family. They needed a driver. I said I would drive but wanted to work while out there. The house they were building was for a realtor couple that bought land out there.
They could read the blueprint as far as I could tell. I was just given projects to work on. I put in a cathedral ceiling in a bathroom. Built a staircase, stuff like that I could do on my own.
I planned a weekend trip to the Grand Canyon. Made a loop through Arizona and New Mexico back to Colorado. Basically a vacation I got paid for.
Saw them with fuel at the shrine center Indy. I tell you a band that was great live was sevendust. Saw them at the Pepsi coliseum. With fuel, Adema and lit.
In his day, there was no one better.
I did see Stevie Ray at a little outdoor venue in Ft. Wayne. Very workmanlike. Came out, played, and left. Not much crowd interaction, but that's OK - his playing was phenomenal.
I always thought he spoke for flyover, Springsteen the East coast and Browne the West coast.
I saw Steve Earle in Bloomington at the Indiana Theater. Also saw him at Deer Creek one time. The one in Bloomington was special.
Good call. He brought that MC5/Mitch Ryder vibe and probably was influenced by the Motown sound - his singing was very soulful.
I saw him twice. One was his bluegrass band and then saw him again with his rock band at the Murat shrine theatre. Both were really good.
I wish I had seen Bob in his prime. Detroit legend. Older relatives who saw him in the late 70s still talk about his concerts.
I turned down a chance to go with some friends whose dad took them to see the Boston Third Stage tour in 87--they did 3 straight dates at Joe Louis Arena. The decisions we regret....
As an aside, I had no idea until a few years ago that fired guitarist Barry Goudreau went solo and put out an album with the former drummer from Boston, with Brad Delp as the lead singer.
the first time I heard the below song, it was like I heard a never before released Boston song.
Speaking of musical acts...during the NBA playoffs...
I saw where Kevin Love's father Stan passed away recently. I always thought he must have had a pretty interesting life. Played in the ABA & NBA for a few years -- and after that was over got to hang around the Beach Boys with his brother Mike.

Brad Delp has such a distinctive voice - and hair and beard. Reminds me of a young DANC in the late 70s (except I only permed my hair once - took too long to deal with. But the ladies liked it. lol)
He was unlike a lot of musicians of his time, who liked to just stand and play. Bob was all over the stage and really knew how to work a crowd.
Just imagine him and Glenn Frye cruising around Detroit, trying to figure out how to make it big.
I always liked him when his band was The Seger System.
Look up RTZ and Orion the Hunter. Very Boston like. They all got sick of sitting around waiting for Tom Scholz. Scholz also started SR&D to make equipment. He kind of screwed his band over. Big Rockman fan years ago. He sold the company to Dunlop. MXR came out with a cool Rockman pedal this year.
I was a fan of Delp but he got strange in his later years. If you do some digging he did some pretty bad things.
Yeah, I listened to both. I'm not a huge fan of RTZ or Orion--Delps voice changed a bit, and not gonna lie, I love the boston guitar sound. Scholz was a micromanaging ass for a long time.
Yeah those albums sucked. You can hear the influence though and Barry did help create the sound.
Top 5 ever?
1. Beatles
2. Taylor Swift
3 Bob Dylan
4 Rolling Stones
