Apparently, this checklist has been trending on social media of some sort, I read about it on a website. Similar to the '50 Bands I've Seen Live' trend that I posted back in the first year of this blog, I felt the urge to give my two cents on this one.
- First concert: Dio (w/ Dokken)
- Last concert: ZZ Top
- Worst concert: Tesla
- Loudest concert: Ace Frehley
- Best concert: Pink Floyd
- Seen the most: Kiss
- Most surprising: Beck
- Next concert: ??
- Wish I could've seen: The original Kiss in the seventies
Those are my answers. It's hard to recollect them all, and now I've seen so many online it's hard to separate them from in-person sometimes. At my age and after the pandemic now, I expect most of my live concerts to be online. I'm not saying I won't go out to a show, just that it's going to take a lot to get me to do it. Livestreams are easier, cheaper, more options and just more comfortable.
Care to share your list?

No, I can't remember the answers to those questions. But I saw an awful lot of bands inthe 70s and 80s. As my hearing will now attest...
My hearing as well, BW. I usually blame 80's heavy metal, though I loved the loudness up until a few years ago.
Yes.
And what about the long-term effects of all these in-ear headphones/ ear buds that have become so popular in recent years? Certainly in the UK, there is little 'public health' warning about them and their potential effects.
I remember similar concerns when the walkmans came out when I was young. People will continue to listen as they like, and be smart about it or not. As we did, or didn't.
I can remember some stand out gigs such as Joe Jackson, The Ramones, The Clash and Lindisfarne. The best one ever was an unknown band at the Cambridge Festival one year, I think called Stomp. They played a small stage and it was incredible.
Sadly many Have vague or few memories of! Youth, alcohol and recreationals...
If I could go back, delcatto, and was maybe a bit older... Plus hindsight being 20/20. I appreciate artists from my youth more now than I did at that time. You saw some classic, iconic bands but may not have realized at the time.
