[Steel Cranium]

Too many to remember - could see a lot of concerts before the prices got too expensive. A few memorable ones:

Van Halen (with DLR, after 1st release) opening for Black Sabbath (with Ozzy).

Nine Inch Nails playing a small hall (old movie theater) around the time of pretty hate machine. Before the 'band' split to form Filter.

A 'heavy metal wednesday' show for ten bucks = Def Leppard, Scorpions, Judas Priest on the same bill.

Any of the 'world series of rock' shows in the old Cleveland stadium. These shows started around noon and ended late with a lot of good bands on the bill. Saw AC/DC, Aerosmith, J Geils, Journey, Pink Floyd, Ted Nugent, Bob Seger, Def Leppard, Pink Floyd, Stones, Todd Rungren, Thin Lizzy, Nazareth during these shows. Normally around 80,000 in attendence. Most memorable lineup was 1979, with scorpions as a last-minute addition as the opener followed by AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Journey, Ted Nugent, and Aerosmith ending the show. Was a nice time to grow up.

 

[Learjet35A]

I have two standout performances in my mind.

Depeche Mode at Dodger Stadium (back in the day), my brother was a huge fan and I didn't dig them at all and just went along because he couldn't find anyone to go with. I left there with a new favorite band (which has not changed to this day).


Nirvana at The Forum not too long before Kurt died. I was obsessed with Nirvana at the time, in fact the only book I've ever finished (I know I'm stupid) was a biography of the band. I won front row tickets from KROQ right on the side of the pit and when the band came out on stage that was as close to a religious experience that I've ever had or ever will have.
