Members johnny6644 Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 I think getting a glimpse of the Beatles phenomenon would be worth the screaming... and getting to hang out in the studio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnny6644 Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 haha yeah i know he wasn't there at the very beginning, just can't recall when he joined.i still watch his live {censored} and am just blown away by the musicianship. my #1 thing about SRV is his timing. every single note placement is just perfect. translates into my playing a lot. I really had the feeling at the time that this was the best guitarist I'd ever seen.. or heard. Arguably he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misterhinkydink Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 NOT the Beatles. Now, I'm a huge fan of the Beatles, but wouldn't want to have seen them in their "heyday" because it would have just been in audiences filled with screaming girls where you couldn't even hear the band. And since they stopped touring after Rubber Soul, there wasn't really any concerts to go to. Now, if I could have been a fly on the wall while they were making Revolver or Sgt. Pepper's...then that's something else. I saw the Beatles in '64 and am glad I did. It was a bunch of screaming girls but I could still hear (except when Paul sang the words 'All my loving..' when the screaming went to an eardrum-busting level).

Members Goofball Jones Posted June 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 I had the honor of being at Alpine Valley and saw Stevie Ray Vaughan and Clapton and the rest there in 1990 and didn't know about the helicopter crash until the next morning. Very sad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jugghaid Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 Saw a lot of them. But I would say Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Floyd with Syd woulda been awesome, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles at Red Rocks (just to have been there), and the Doors.

Members Funkee1 Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 True Story: The Count Basie Orchestra was doing a show in Albuquerque, at the convention center. This was about 1985. Tickets were kinda pricey, but I was gonna go. I jus t had to wait till payday, which was Thursday. The concert was Friday. They cancelled it on Wednesday, due to low presales. Basie died the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Real MC Posted June 13, 2007 Members Share Posted June 13, 2007 I was lucky to catch Roth-era VH in their prime. Twice. My first concert was Ted Nugent, and VH opened for him and stole the show. The next VH show I saw was the Women and Children First tour, they pwned the place. I would love to have caught the vintage 70s Skynyrd (Ed King or Steve Gaines, either lineup), but I would not have been old enough to go to a concert. Damn those guys took no prisoners in their prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
