Ok. You’ve got 2 tickets to 2 concerts

I had no idea Beauford was 65.
Son of a bitch, I feel ancient.

 

1. The Grateful Dead anywhere in the late 1970s.

2. This one I've already done but would love to do again -- Springsteen at JazzFest maybe six years ago (when Tom Morello was playing with him the whole tour).

While 75% of what I listen to is the Dead, I have no desire to see Dead & Co., particularly in the Sphere.

 

Wow, great thread.

For me:

Monterey, for Jimi and The Who, and maybe the Allmans at Filmore East.

 

I went to see Tedeschi Trucks last night in Toronto (unreal show) and there were loads of Dead shirts and more than a few from shows at the Sphere.

 

Just snagged Ricky Scaggs tix at the Birchmere.

That might fit the bill for a hillbilly from a dirt road in middle Alabama!

Holy shit, I’m stoked!

 

Only one accidental concert in my life: New Year's Eve 1998.....went to a swing dance lesson with some friends which ended early and was lame...but playing across the hall was Blue Oyster Cult! They let everyone in for free and there was like 20 people in the audience. They played all their hits.

 

1. In the building for the recording of “Stop Making Sense”

2. Otis Redding, anywhere

 

More cowbell!

 

What, nobody wanted to claim Keith Urban in a gas station parking lot?

 

1. The Beatles at Shea Stadium.

2. Sinatra at the Sands.

 

My accidental concert: when I was in college a group of us went up to Vancouver for the World’s Fair. We were in Stanley Park when we heard a crowd in the distance. We followed the sound… and found Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger playing in an an amphitheater in the middle of the park.

I came close to this one — they played the Long Beach Arena a couple of days before they filmed the movie at the Pantages. I was at the Long Beach show.

So, my choices…

Still active, it could happen:
Paul Weller - somewhere in London. I may drive over to California to see him next month, which would be close enough.
Bob Mould - First Avenue in Minneapolis. Been a fan for years but never seen him live.

Alternately… not active, bloody unlikely:
The Smiths, anywhere
Split Enz, anywhere
