Man, I LOVE these posts! And, I wholeheartedly agree on the whole concert experience. I realize that my perspective is a bit different than most fans but I never went to shows of any kind, whether it was a club show, small theater, amphitheater, arena or stadium, to get "drunk" or "high". I went to hear the music, see the players do their thing and hopefully come away with a great musical experience. I'm the same way with pro sports, whether it's football, basketball or baseball. Sure, I'll have a Dodger dog and a beer, especially if I hadn't eaten dinner but the primary goal was to catch a game with friends, not get wasted. |

It was maybe the worst concert I've ever seen. Sammy and Michael Anthony were fantastic and spot on. AVH seemed uninterested and bored while Eddie was so freaking wasted out of his mind that it was unlistenable garbage. I mean, it sounded like a beginner on guitar. My buddy and I ended up walking out about 45 minutes into the "show" and we weren't the only people leaving the venue. The boos were almost deafening. |

The only shows where I really got wasted were my own. Yeah, there were a few concerts that I went to under the influence but I played in a band that literally got paid by the ounce so yeah...

I never saw him.......and I knew what I was getting into (as I had seen the Youtube videos of the last VH tour). But I was going, trying to replace a memory that I missed out on as a younger lad. Maybe this is one good thing that came out of COVID?

Speaking of all these disappointing experiences with "older" bands.....
I may get flamed for this.....but I honestly enjoy seeing tribute bands, in many cases, better than the originals (at this point in the originals' career). I've seen some pretty amazing shows from tribute bands that nail the experience pretty well: Temptation (New Order/Joy Division) Strangelove (Depeche Mode) Fooze Fighters Fan Halen Paradise City The Cured U2 Hollywood puts on a helluva show. Even "Bono" looks like Bono. And seems to have a better voice these days as well.

Reflective Soul is a Collective Soul tribute band in Texas Obscure is a Cure tribute band in Spain One of the best Led Zeppelin tribute bands is Kashmir, play all over the USA The absolute best Journey tribute, you would almost think it's Steve Perry Heart tribute 'Heart Attack' at the HOB in Dallas - the two ladies aren't bad looking either ELO tribute in Holland - I use wear out their album New World Record Black Crowes tribute Non-Fiction in Maryland Muse tribute in the UK - great sound! Brit Pink Floyd at Red Rocks - they have a lot of videos, do a search all over the world Pat Benatar Experience - Looks and sounds like a 30 year old Pat Benatar - plays the west coast Forced to Mode - German Depeche Mode tribute early 90's style Portrait tribute to Kansas out of St. Louis Phil Collins & Genesis Tribute live in Germany Kings of Leon tribute Kings ov Leon in England Kick tribute to INXS out of Atlanta Rammstein tribute in Italy, the band Rammstein is huge in Europe The Thin Lizzy Experience in Ireland, if you didn't know better, you would swear Phill Lynott had returned Aeromyth tribute to Aerosmith, northeast USA, no that's not Steven Tyler. Barracuda tribute to Heart in Florida, the girl guitar player is really good! Rumours tribute to Fleetwood Mac out of California but perform all over Best Police Tribute band 'The Police Station' in Argentina This guy puts the real Rod Stewart to shame, this is older video of his but he's still going strong, David Battah tribute 'Forever Young' I guess that's enough for now, if you have a band request let me know.

If you get a chance to see Brit Floyd do it. I see them every time I can. I have tix to their next..
Dead Floyd is also great but a smaller production. They mix Floyd and Gratefull Dead. I'm no Dead fan but the two together works reallly well. |
