BP Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 saw his kid play once, not bad but nobody comes close to his old man. The drum sticks the guy used to play with were 3-4 times bigger than normal drum sticks, they were like little baseball bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 No, I was a feisty ''ginker'' back then. I went with my brother. I saw the who in '79 at MSG, and I also saw Pink Floyd with Roger waters during the animals tour at MSG. MSG was the greatest place to see a concert IMO. yeah 79 sounds about right at the salt palace in slc. saw zztop twice there. saw eric clapton with bb king as backup. elo, bozz skaggs & the police there.

At Brendan Byrne Arena a.k.a. Continental Airlines Arena... a.k.a. Meadowlands NJ. :headbang: :headbang: Waysted was another Pete Way band, right? I liked Fastway better. I still have that cassette kicking around. My first "concert" was Anvil at L'Amour, (L'Amour's if you're from Brooklyn) but my first real show was probably the seat ripping Priest show at the Garden. I had tickets to Maiden/Priest at the Paladium around '80-81, but somehow didn't end up going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 What a great indoctrination to live music Garb. Those guys rocked large. I thought the same when I read her post. Bringing back lots of good memories in this thread. Four Way Street was one of the earliest albums I bought, too, and I also saw CSNYat the Nassau Coliseum on that tour around the time Nixon resigned. First show was either Led Zep or Creedence at MSG. Both were in the same year, whatever that was, probably 1969 or 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackbackblock Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Queen at the Beacon Theater 2/8/76. My Mom wanted to go for her birthday on 2/8. Since it was her birthday Dad decided to take my brother and I as well. Great show. I was 12 at the time so it was a bit overwhelming. Later that same year I went to see Led Zeppelin at MSG with a friend and his dad. About a month later saw KISS at Roosevelt Stadium. What a rat trap that place was but it is one of my favorite concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I also saw Pink Floyd ''The Wall'' at Nassau Coliseum in 1980. Roger Waters was playing acoustic guitar on top of what looked like a 75-100 ft wall. every pre-breakup Pink Floyd show I ever went to kicked ass. I refused to see them without Roger Waters.
