The Who when they were third on the bill: Herman's Hermits, The Sundowners, The Who and Strawberry Alarm Clock.

I saw that tour in Flint Michigan.
Herman's Hermits, The Who and The Blues Magoos.

It was also the night of Keith Moon's 21st birthday when he drove the Lincoln Continental, some say it was a Cadillac, into the pool of the local Holiday Inn.

I saw the Doors at the Whiskey on Sunset in Hollywood when they were the house band. I was in Jr. High and older friends used to sneak me in. Morrison was the first guy I ever saw in leather pants. Needless to say my parents thought I was someplace else.

saw max's last show w sepultura (last tour). was a great show. they have sucked since he left.

 

[slinslin]

Oh I saw Enter Shikari a few months ago in Hamburg along with Let Live.

It was epic

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I don't like anything after Arise. Chaos AD was less than mediocre, IMO, and they just aren't up to the hype.

Another addendum:

Flotsam & Jetsam (or some derivation thereof). I saw them at the Rialto in Tucson like 10 years ago, so it was nowhere near the original lineup....

 

[MrYeahBut]

Hey! We have Santana in common! Also, we're Pink Floyd-adjacent....



I missed you at the Deicide show though....

Since I had no idea who Deicide was I googled them..... no one told me to go see them because I'm a vegetarian... not into raw meat at a concert...


J/K about the vegetarian thing

Deicide while horrible in lyrics is insanely violent and entertaining riff wise for me.

DEI - Arise is probably the best, I really enjoyed chaos and even half of the roots album though. Beneath the remains is my #2 after arise.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

Agreed on Deicide. They have always had some of the most brutally talented death metal out there....

 

[kps0001]

I decided to give this a shot. So I started putting all the bands on a google spreadsheet. Now I cannot copy and paste it anywhere...grrrr.

Anyway my list was already over 115 bands with a lot of them having seen multiple times. I am not sure if I am proud or embarrassed by this. However, I did spend the greater part of the 1990's seeing as many live shows as I could. maybe I can start the list another way so I can post later.
