Oh Yeah.....I remember now.....an 1812 Overture concert in San Diego in 1967 with a back-up by US Naval ordnance.

Hard to see the ochestra there toward the end; plus I believe I noticed a bit of distress in the performance of the brass section near the end as well

That's what you call them crapping in their pants?

I guess someone found the brown noise, after all...

It's hard to picture a weird Al concert - did he re-enact the entire Truth or Dare Madonna concert?

He actually puts on a pretty good show. He was constantly changing outfits to match the songs he was doing, but it wasn't like you were waiting for him to come out in between either. They had the timing of everything down great.

I used to love his stuff when I was a kid, so it was fun to get a chance to see him even though I haven't heard his stuff in years.

Wow, now that I think about it I hardly go to any shows anymore. But back in the day...

Metallica
Iron Maiden
Anthrax
Pink Floyd
Paul Mcartney
Godsmack
OZZY
Pantera
TOTO
CCR
Testament
Megadeath
Slayer
Alice In Chains

I'm sure there are a few I am forgettting and a bunch of no name bands in local bars.....
The Reverend Horton Heat was always good and Deadhorse too. Although my list is mostly metal, I have always liked a little bit of everything, these bands were the music of the moment though. I still listen to them sometimes, amazing how you can remember all the lyrics to songs you havent heard in 10 years.

Ronno, there is a definite theme to your list. Paul McCartney and TOTO, though, stick out. I'm not knocking them, diversity is good, but looking at the other bands they just don't fit. Makes me laugh. It's all good though.
I almost went to Paul's show when he released "Off the Ground." Didn't happen, though.

I got free tickets to see Paul Mcartney in the Astrodome, a lot of echoes but still a good show. I recently saw TOTO and CCR, not with all the original members of course, here in Veracruz. Really not many big bands are going to come here, but it was something to do. Tickets are expensive, about 60$ but beer is cheap like 1.50$ so it all works out in the end.

After soccer practice when I was a little kid the team would go to this pizza parlor. The place had a jukebox and my dad always gave me a few quarters and told me to pick one of the TOTO songs. Every time we went there he did this. My teammates teased me unmercifully. When I hear TOTO now, it makes me hungry for pizza. No fail.
