Sounds fun!
wow, old concert memories ...
I have some good ones ...
The Beatles at Hollywood Bowl in '65, their last concert but one at Dodger Stadium, Byrds at the Troubador, the Stones with Buffalo Springfield opening in '66 at Hollywood Bowl, Dylan and the Band at Pasadena Civic in '66, Hendrix at the Shrine in '67, the Fillmore in Summer '67 (can't remember the band), John Mayall at the Whiskey in '69 ... Newport Rock Festival with Country Joe and everyone in '67, Santa Clara festival with the Airplane introducing brand new band Santana in May of '69, Mother Earth at the Cow Palace, Zappa and the Mothers at the Shrine in '68, Tim Buckley at the Longshoreman's Hall in '69, so many memories.
but the best was the Monterey Pop Festival ...
Janis (twice), Hendrix, the Dead, the Airplane, Who, Butterfield, Steve Miller, Otis Redding, Mamas and Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Country Joe, Wilson Pickett, Ravi Shankar ... and more. Never saw anything like that again!
I also went to Altamont and survived! but not Woodstock.
Then in the 80's and 90's saw so many shows at the Greek, Shoreline, Oakland Coliseum, Concord Pavilion, the Paramount, etc.., those were good times.
The three acts I tried never to miss were Dylan, Jackson Browne, and Van Morrison ... guess I'm just a hopeless junkie for singer-songwriters ... and must include Jimmy Buffett in the list of listened to all his tunes a million times.
