Paul Weller - December 1991 - The Ritz NYC. The not then crowned Modfather was fresh off disbanding The Style Council and long past breaking up The Jam. He was discovering his solo sound and testing out new joints from his first solo album. It was an amazing, soulful, incredible performance. The date for the show was my mom, and I remember being horrified when some British ex-pat offered her a spliff. The nerve of some folk!!

1974 - Ozark Music Festival, MO State Fairgrounds, Sedalia, MO. Three days of hot sun and great tunes in 100 degree heat with 80,000 of my closest friends. We hung out with some Alabama bikers who told us about this kick a** band they saw the month prior in Huntsville that we would really like. Anyway, the stars and bars flag dropped, the lights came on, and Lynyrd Skynyrd (originals) played amazing rock & roll for two hours. It's been downhill ever since.

1976 Ted Nugent and Uriah Heap at Hara Arena in Dayton. I have seen a lot of concerts but this was by far the best rock show I have ever seen. Uriah Heep was the second act and blew everyone away.

Hey, would you have any more info on this show [an exact date perhaps]?

or any recall or photos?

thanks
a fellow Heep fan

Hands down, no question: Rockapella. Sixth grade.

John Butler Trio @ http://www.thevogue.ws/

U2 in 87' at the "Hoosier Dome" UNBELIEVABLE

Mojo NIxon at the Patio

Anyone have a great concert experience yet this summer? I have been shutout of the concert scene so far which is increasingly depressing. Each time I go to a show I have such a blast that I resolve to see more concerts. Then I don't and the whole process repeats itself. In other words, what have I missed?

OH MAN!!!!!! I bet that was awesome, I forgot MURPHY'S LAW @ The Patio (sigh, I miss that place)

TIE:

**Guns-n-Roses opening for Aerosmith 1988 - Market Square Arena **Blind Melon (with Shannon) maybe 1993 - The Vogue

The Police at Churchill Downs last year! By far the best!

One of my best was De La Soul @ the palace in Paris (France). More there : http://www.myconcertarchive.com/... (BTW if you which to build your concert archive like me, you're all welcome to http://www.myconcertarchive.com/

Bane at the Palladium, Worchester, MA. Halloween, 1999

Sick of It All, AFI, Hot Water Music, Indecision at the Emerson. Y2K?

Lord of the Yum Yum at Birdy's 2008

and Down at the Egyptian Room last spring. Guitar tones touched by unholy hands.

1989- R.E.M- Notre Dame Joyce Center. Maybe not the best ever but pretty solid.

Bjork up north last year and Einsturzende Neubauten back in the late 90's before they decided they'd never tour the USA again. Those two were mind blowing shows.

Stomp at Butler was badass as well, I smelled like butane afterwards. Ziggy Marley did a great show years ago at the Vogue.

I think the best surprise concert ever was Switchblade Symphony in some dive biker bar in Cincinnati, I'd never even heard them before and they were stellar. They opened for Front Line Assembly... who sucked horribly. Ah yes... 90's post-industrial. We can have sampler.

Ah yes, the Yum Yum show was fabulous.

Elvis...of course it was his last though.
