All the Shows!

This is a comprehensive list of all the concerts I've seen in my life. I am very lucky that I got a chance to see some of these shows. HORDE 1997 was a particulaly memorable day. I met Mark Sandman after watching Morphine jam with John Popper, Les Claypool and John Medeski. And then later on, Neil Young played, and a rain storm almost decimated the entire event. But Neil kept playing. And we never left.

The Who- This was a gift for my mom which initially was postponed. So it was almost an entire year before we ended up going. Viv, my dad and my mom all went out to Holy Frijoles and The Who were very good at United Center. The sound and projections were very impressive and harkened back to their mythology in a really cool, trippy way. They did the Rock which was unusual but had a particularly cool montage. Roger was in fine voice and Pete didn't miss a note. Zach Starkey was there along with Pete's brother on backing guitar.

Ray Davies- I went up to Madison to see this show. I saw it with Josh and it was a strong show. He played some of his better new material but he played a lot of the classics as well. Not a knock out but it was a solid performance from a legend.

Paul McCartney- In all fairness, I did not actually see this entire concert at Wrigley way back in 2011. But, Vivian, Kris Polinski and I sneaked in and caught about a half an hour. We saw him do Strawberry fields, we saw him do something, and we saw him do yesterday. And then the end suite. It was rocking and I regret not seeing the whole thing. But it was a memorable story.

Robert Plant w Allison Krauss, T-Bone Burnette-

An All Star lineup, headed by a legend of rock. Plant was in fine form and he and Krauss worked their folky magic, with T-bone conducting the whole affair at Ravinia. A couple of Zeppelin tunes were played but all and all, Plant proved that he is a mature artist who wasn't afraid to move on, long ago from Zep. And his career has panned out nicely because of it.

Roger Waters- I saw this show way back in 2002 with Andre and Gene. My parents were there too although we never ran into them there. He played Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun at the start of the second set. That was memorable, but honestly, I can't really remember a whole lot from this show.
