My wife and I love music, all kinds and tastes. Mix both of our music preferences and we pretty much cover all genres.
Some memorable concerts we've attended:
US Festival '82 and '83 - We were both still in high school and I had a drivers license but no car so we borrowed her moms Mercury Monarch and piled in as many people as we could. The average temperature for the '82 festival was 110 degrees in Devore. At the hottest point of the day they were hosing down the audience and the place place became a muddy mess. Don't remember if that ticket stub survived, but my concert tee did, I have it stored somewhere. The band line ups for each day were massive so i'll have to dig up a tee and take a picture to post up.
Journey '82 - The last show of the Escape Tour at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Aldo Nova, Triumph, Blue Oyster Cult opened for the band. Robbie Krieger of the Doors came on stage with BOC and played Roadhouse Blues, the ensuing singalong was awesome. This was also memorable because I witnessed the biggest food fight i've ever seen. We were sitting below the press booths and someone from below threw a half full soda bottle up into a booth, someone in the booth threw something back down and mayhem ensued. Journey took the stage when the sun went down and were absolutely awesome.
Bruce Springsteen '85 - Born in the USA tour at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. We sat on the field dead center in the stadium. Suddenly 40K people on one side started yelling "Tastes great" and the other 40K on the opposite side responded by yelling "Less Filling".
We were disappointed Bruce didn't play all night but it was an HOURS long concert. I honestly was not familiar with his earlier stuff at that point but things changed after that concert. I like his early stuff better nowadays
Linkin Park 2014 - Guitar Center's 50th Anniversary at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. - A friends sister works for Sony and she scored two tickets to this event. She could not go so my friend invited me to come along. No opening act, lots and lots of cameras though because the event was filmed and later aired for Guitar Center Sessions. Last time I got to see Chester alive
Social Distortion 2007 - House of Blues Hollywood. Wife's first mosh pit. We were standing front and center of the stage on the floor. As soon as Social D hit the stage the crowd went wild. My wife kinda panicked and was headed towards the back. I grabbed her arm and had her stand behind me while the crowd formed a circle to keep the marauders inside. She eventually came around and stood in front of me so I could support her as she proceeded to shove people around. My wife is only 5'-1'' but she's strong
