Concerts you wish you'd seen

The Who in their heyday.

Would have loved to watch Keith Moon.

I did see them in the Oakland Colliseum just before Moon died. Moon's entrance was classic. He did cartwheels onto the stage. I'll never forget that day. As the last song ended (with walls of feedback droning and everyone's mouths open), Moon's drumset in pieces, Townsend just hurled his guitar high into the air and walked off as it spiraled and cratered center stage. No VST could possibly recreate what THAT sounded like!

Hey, Fitch! Speaking of concerts not to be missed, I'm gonna be going to Rasputina in about a week. http://www.rasputina.com Might be interesting to hear you rock out on the cello sometime too.

I was taking the bus back from my driver's ed class, '80? early am, had to send away for tickets that day, hopped off and dropped the envelope in the box, walked home thinking " i'm gonna see led zepplin, the only real big band (beatles/stones/etc) still together with original members, just so happy, one of my favorites- a walk in the door and my mom says "John Bohnam died from drugs" more than elvis or john lennon, it just knocked me down, i stood there with my jaw dropped....

one night me and friends wanted to see a show- two bands we hadn't heard were playing- living colour and the pixies-guess which we chose (doh!)

for some reason i didn't see nirvana/sound garden at the metro.......

saw neil young once, but i have
no idea why i missed crazy horse
several times

saw pyschic tv a couple times/kinda sucked....missed the "f**king great, everyone was on stage, my feet didn't touch the floor for a half hour" shows, but genesis p-orridge kissed my hand....whoopie...

missed black flag/no idea why

wish i saw pink floyd "animals", my older sister thought i wasn't cool enough back then, but i ended up driving her to see "abc" for some god knows reason anyway...i'm going to heaven for that one
