Can-Con Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Huey Lewis & The News in 2012. Dare I say they put on a better show than the ZZ Top show I went to a few years later. Too bad Huey can't sing anymore. I got their last album a few weeks ago and it's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Boston in Omaha, NE. It just after their 2nd album came out. They did 5 encores. They played every song off both albums. We were there until 2AM. It was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 U.K. Subs / Vandals , 1989 . While I'd been to a number of local bands' gigs (mostly Punk bands or Revival Mod bands) , that was the first "big name" concert I'd attended . I'd just gotten my driver's licence , and was ready to travel everywhere ; Hollywood was a favourite spot . Then there was the granddaddy of them all : the Benson & Hedges Blues Festival on 9th June 1990 at the Pacific Amphitheatre . That sucker was 7 hours ! Worth every minute (not to mention the sunburn--- a cloudy , hot , humid , rainy day until around 16:00 when the sun made its appearance) . https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-04-28-ca-394-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks later we went to Emerson Lake and Palmer.......talk about a different world!!! Same venue as Diamond but now we were not the youngest but by the end we were among the few that could walk out upright!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Horde Festival, 1992. There were six bands but I can't remember all of them, I know it was the Spin Doctors, Blues Traveler, Bela Fleck, and Col. Horton Heat. My dad took me because he was a Bela Fleck fan but the Spin Doctors stole the show, I saw them again about two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I believe it was Foghat and Spooky Tooth in 1971. Used to remember this stuff better but that was a long time ago. I like my wife's first and 2nd concert. First was John Denver and next was Ted Nugent. A little different from each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
