Concert hasn't even happened yet and I can safely say it's the best 2 I've been too



Arrived in the mail today I can't wait 5 Boss concerts in and around Melbourne He's having 3 at Rod Laver Arena, which is the same place The Australian Tennis Open is held, and 2 outdoor concerts at Hanging Rock

I wonder why this member is so excited

[Eric Cartman]

Living in Dayton is great from a location standpoint. Lot's of large cities within easy driving distance thus lots of concerts to see. Here are some of the tickets I haven't lost plus a few guitar picks I caught.





Some of the tickets I've lost somehow include The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and country artists Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Kenny Rogers and Alabama. There are probably a few more but that time in my life has more than a few blank spaces.

Quoting my own post

Went too the 1st of 2 of them last night........ And truthfully, blew the entire audience away.

I wont describe the concert from my point of view, rather, from a very close mates.

My mate always laughed at me and joked about Bruce when he lived at my place. He thought Bruce was over rated and so on. When the tour was announced, he joked about how he'd come along with us. SO we bought him a ticket and made him attend. I offered him too keep the money for the ticket and only repay me if he liked the show. Halfway through the concert during a quieter moment, my mate pulled his wallet out of his jeans, After the concert my mate was quiet, apart from saying "I've heard that thing about his live shows and didn't know it was all true".

3 hours of NO fireworks, exploding waterfalls, laser light spectaculars, costume changes.......There was just a band and music

The best part for myself and totally unexpected was he opened with my personal favorite song of his which I didn't even expect him to perform. Seeing a 63 year old putting together a 3 hour show with more energy into one song than a lot will put into a 90 minute or 2 hour show is remarkable and says a lot about how he appreciates his followers

A few memorable ones

[Ace1965]

Last Saturday night I was in Atlanta to see Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies & Exodus at The Tabernacle right in the middle of downtown Atlanta. Slayer is one of my favorite bands so I was pumped to see them. I've heard of Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies but didn't know their music. I've seen Slayer probably four times before but it was always at a festival, Ozzfest, Mayhem Fest, etc. so their sets were only an hour long in those settings. So this would be my first time to see a full Slayer set.

The Tabernacle is one of those old theaters that have been revitalized and now host concerts and other things. Seating capacity is 2600 plus standing room on the floor or moshing room on the floor for this concert. I had a ticket on the third floor, third row so you're kind of looking down on the stage.

Slayer absolutely killed it. All the songs they're known for Raining Blood, War Ensemble, South Of Heaven, Angel Of Death, etc., etc.

The only thing that spoiled a perfect evening was the lack of crowd control by the house staff. There was no enforcement to keep people in their seats. That outline in my pictures was a girl that had a seat about 8 rows back but she came down and stood in the aisle right at the front of the balcony along with four other people. People that had seats on the front row of the balcony were standing up. You're on the front row of the balcony why are you standing up?!?!? To get a better view?!?! I never hardly got to see stage right where Kerry King was.

Still even with all the idiots not staying in their seats it was a great night of head banging. SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my late 20s to early 30s I went to about 350 concerts over a 6 year stretch. Most of them were country music. For me it would have to be Garth Brooks in Central Park back on July 7th, 1997. Below is a vid cap of me from the video of the concert.

March 10, 1968, in one of the ballrooms of the Washington Hilton. Opening act the Soft Machine, headliner the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix and Noel Redding using 6 400 watt amps each, and Mitch Mitchell with every drum and cymbal miked and running through a 2000 watt PA. Truly amazing.

I saw Slayer with Bio Hazard opening for them in Melbourne in 1996. That was one insane show!

Iron Maiden is right up there too on the Fear of the Dark tour. I missed them in 2011 as I had a bad case of flu. Just hope they come back.
