1. You are judged worthy by me.

I see lots of prog rock in your list. I just saw Dream Theater in July.

Which Yes tours did you attend? I finally saw them last summer on their Classic Yes tour.

[bbernardini]

7. Union, Talk, Masterworks

Hoping to catch Rick Wakeman solo in October. (By the way, I'm a teacher, too!)

[MissouriTeacher]

8. Excellent.

I would have loved to catch them with Bruford. Alas, I think Bill has moved on for good.

[newyawker99]

26. Congrats MissouriTeacher!! 100 posts

A :toast: for your first milestone!! :-)

[tarkus]

2. Me too. Very nice.

[catpower2000]

3. You've seen Air Supply twice and Yes 3 times?

Hmm, that's a little scary. On the other hand, you've seen Tribe, Beasties, Primus, and (most importantly) Fishbone.

I'll give you an A-.

9. Air Supply kicked Dave Matthews ass...

No, seriously. My wife and I went to see Dave a few years ago and left early because the show was so boring (and she ADORES Dave Matthews). The next night, we went to see Air Supply, and they kicked ass! The show was a million times better than Dave. More energy, better performance.

[catpower2000]

11. Not surprising, since DM is a talentless crap factory nt

[MiltonLeBerle]

14. Journey?

Twice?

[bbernardini]

25. Yes, twice...

That would be my wife's choice.

[newyawker99]

27. Congrats MiltonLeBerle!! 600 posts

:toast:

[sendero]

21. that's what I noticed....

.... there is a fine like between eclectic and schizophrenic :)

[calm_blue_ocean]

4. If you're so great . .

How come Jandek isn't on your list?

Where is the Fall?

Where are the Minutemen?

Where is ELO?

Where is Daniel Johnston or the Wannabe Texans or Kula Shaker or The Bipeds?

You've still got a lot of livin' to do!

[DBoon]

5. What about the Minutemen?

I should say so.

[MissouriTeacher]

6. YES rules people!

Just don't listen to any of their albums with Trevor Rabin.

I detect a distinct anti-prog rock prejudice on this board. :mad:

[sendero]

20. Relayer ....

... is my favorite Yes of all time. The only one they did with Patrick Moraz. I don't know why they fired him, but I think it was a mistake :)

[newyawker99]

28. Hi calm_blue_ocean!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ikojo]

10. I see that you have seen Phish

but not the Grateful Dead or even in their current incarnation, The Dead?

Puzzled....

[bbernardini]

12. I have seen The Dead...

It's on there, in the Ds. I didn't get into the Grateful Dead until after Jerry died.

[ronnykmarshall]

13. I'll probably leaving some out

But here it goes:

Donna Fargo
Ray Stevens (both were at a county fair)
The Supremes (1974 @ Magic Mountain)
Nazareth
Foghat
UFO
Some other metal bands in the late 1970's that I was either too stoned to rember or was too bored to give a shit.
Alice Cooper
Judis Priest (for a metal band it was a good show)
Chicago (the band not the play)
Kenny Logins
Diana Ross (1978 and I don't think she'll ever be a good as she was then)
Donna Summer (1979 and it was fantastic)
Fleetwood Mac (1979 - twice, 1982, 1988 and 2003)
Stevie Nicks (1981, 1983 and 2001)

Mary Wilson (2000, 2002 and 2003 ... again this coming October)
Freda Payne (2001 and 2002)
Scherrie Payne
Gladys Knight (if you're ever in Vegas she's worth it!)
Celine Dion (say what you will but her show in Vegas is fantastic)
Dionne Warwick 2x (one was with my brother 2 years before he died Dionne was his fave)
Tina Turner 2x

and of course countless Cindy Alexander shows.

[ronnykmarshall]

15. I knew I left some out....

Cheap Trick
Journey

[Colin Ex]

16. Holy shit, someone else has seen Take 6.

I saw them my freshman year of high school (three years ago... closer to four now). They are fuckin' top notch.

[mrfrapp]

17. Zappa

Some Zappa related stuff there -- Z, Mike Keneally, Steve Vai -- but no Zappa himself. That's a shame, but I suppose you're too young to have had the oppurtunity.

Apart from that, really good list. Stuff that stands out for me (ie. makes me jealous): Pink Floyd, Keb Mo, Alice In Chains, Pat Metheny, Primus and the bands mentioned above.

Stuff that makes me glad I'm not you :-): U2 and Paul McCartney

[DBoon]

23. Yes Zappa

Some good Zappa shows, too. One not so good - a new years eve show where the yellow snow machine didn't work

[bearded_cat]

18. Hell of a list!

Are your parents groupies or something? You have seen a lot of the old time acts.

[SiobhanClancy]
