ROFL! Joe, you are too frickin' funny, man! I want you to write on my show. quote: Mike Blakesley The best sounding concert I ever heard in any venue was an Alan Parsons show I can absolutely believe that. And yes, Mike, Phil Collins is cool, too!  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-24-2007 12:30 AM                    what the hell I will list em all........ 1977-Starbuck at the Bluegrass fair The Following were all at Rupp Arena 1979-Kiss 1980-Molly Hatchet, The Henry Paul Band and Max Webster 1981-AC/DC 1981-Journey and The Gregg Kihn band 1981-Foreigner and Billy Squire 1982-Rush and Rory Gallagher 1983-Pat Benatar 1983-Journey and Bryan Addams 1984-Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue 1984-Rush and Fastway 1987-Bon Jovi and Cinderella 1987-Pink Floyd 1992-Kiss, Faster Pussycat and Trixter 1992-Tesla and Firehouse 1996-Van Halen and Collective Soul 1996-Ozzy Osbourne, Life of Agony and Korn 1996-Kiss and the Deftones 1998-Aerosmith and Kenny Wayne Shepperd 1998-Kiss and Econoline Crush 2000-Kiss, Ted Nugent and Skid Row 2001-Aerosmith and Fuel in Cincinnati, Ohio River-bend Amphitheatre 2001-Ozzy Osbourne, Soil, Mudvayne and Rob Zombie Louisville, Ky Freedom Hall 2005-George Jones at Renfro Valley, Ky 2005-Styx and Reo Speedwagon Rupp Arena as you can see there are gaps between the years....that's what happens when Ticket prices are to high and nobody worth a crap comes around.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2007 01:46 AM                        Yeah, 1981 must have been the year I saw AC/DC. I think it was Fastway that opened for them. They were not memorable. Tim, what show are you talking about? Will I be able to make millions? I would settle for hundreds of thousands.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

They don't fit me anymore. Actually, some have shrunk in weird ways from aging.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-24-2007 02:28 AM                        Yes, they have "shrunk" from you aging.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-24-2007 10:27 AM                       quote: Joe Redifer Tim, what show are you talking about? Oh, just some stuff I'm working on. One's an animated theatrical short. You could make 10's of dollars!  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-24-2007 10:42 AM                     Scorpions - Unbreakable Tour (Nicosia Stadium) 1st performance for the Unbreakable album after Germany started in Cyprus. 1st time Scorpions came and they totally rocked the stadium we watched them! Elton John - (Da Villa Nicosia) The guy is a mastermind in piano. There is no way you cannot love the way you fiddles piano around his fingers. Nothing on a stage but him and a piano. Emma Shaplin (Kourio Limassol) Probably the best place to watch a concert. Its an ancient greek theater type open air theater with a backdrop of the Limassol sea. I am not sure whether she playbacked. Good concert on the overall Bonnie Tyler (Ayia Napa Stadium) A decent concert without much to say. She did perform most of her "known" songs and also some other. Good concert on the overall. Total Eclipse of The Heart probably saved the day! Alkistis Protopsalti (Kourio Limassol) The voice of this lady is simply crystal and pure. The concert was really amazing. Greeks love her. She is probably the most charismatic performer of Greece. Stefanos Korkolis (Limassol) Mostly piano type concert. You can either love classic music or hate it. I enjoyed it all the way. Scorpions 2006 (Limassol Stadium) A comeback to an island who loved them mostly for their ballads. The concert was packed as the 1st one back a few years ago and they were simply A M A Z I N G.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-24-2007 12:28 PM                     Mike Henan is a Tom Jones fan ???? I bet he also has all of Englebert Humperdinks CDs as well . I agree with Tim about volume levels!! I still attend the Utah Symphony once in a while when they are doing a work I might enjoy hearing, orchestra hall is a great place acoustically and the huge Chihuly blown glass chandelier in the lobby is amazing, especially for first timers. They say our wonderful maestro Keith Lockhart is leaving cause hiz 250K salery isn't enough to satisfy his every whim but I think it has more to do with the Opera comming in and messing things up for the symphony. Perhaps they'll get Pavel Kogan back to replace him.... he used to be the guest conductor or second in command till two years ago. I always liked his direction and style much better anyway and he will be here to conduict an all Ravel program in May that I won't miss. Lockhart is also principal conductor of The Boston Pops and I always felt his direction reflects the Pops style more than anything else. Otherwise SLC has really shitty locations for the larger venues. There are nice halls at vboth University Of Utah and BYU but they are smaller halls. I saw Elton John and Billy Joel at the Delta Center years ao and it sucked big time.... Never been back to the Delta Center since. There is the USANA Center which is an outdoor venue but no one that I'd go fight the crowds and lines of cars has appeared there. There is a new hall that just opened in Wendover thats 1000 seats... Don Rickles did the opener there. Will check the place out in the near future.

It featured a bunch of underground artists. The show was called "Rise of the American Riff Raff." The show opened up with a performance from The Phrozen Body Body (who I happen to know personally, before he became a rapper). My boy, Gerald (that's his real name), tore the roof off that place. Then, some guy named Bouncie got on stage, but nobody was feeling his set. The crowd was dead. He only did a couple songs, and then he walked off the stage and left. I guess he lived up to his name, 'cause he bounced! Then, Bloodshot got on stage and totally schooled it! After Bloodshot was Lavey. I've never heard of Lavey before this concert, but he put on a badass show! Then, out came Big Slack & Ill. This was my second time seeing them in concert, and they were the shit! Next was the underground legend, McNastee, who tore the roof off as always! Shy One was next. This was my first time seeing him in concert, and he was the shit! He was jumping off the speakers and everything. After Shy One, Major and the Usual Suspects did their set, and they were pretty tight. Then, for the finale, McNastee, Big Slack & Ill, Shy One, and Lavey all did a set together! It was a bad ass show!!! I was so proud of The Phrozen Body Boy! That's my homie! This was his third show ever! It was his first show in our hometown of Dallas! His first two shows were in Tulsa, OK. Ya'll need to check him out: www.myspace.com/thephr0zenbodyboy The next concert I'm going to will be on Sat. May 19 at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas. It will be ICP and Twiztid together on the same tour! Fuck Yeah!!! I can't wait for that!  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-24-2007 03:25 PM                     Yea I like Tom Jones... not into Engelbert though But I also like KISS, Metallica (pre black album), ABBA, Ramones, Sinatra, etc, so my musical tastes vary. I dont really like newer stuff though.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-24-2007 11:40 PM                       quote: But I also like KISS,....

I'm on and off with KISS, though...  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-25-2007 12:53 AM                     Yeah I only like the pre-reunion KISS, including when they took the makeup off in the 80s and 90s, some good songs during that era. I saw the original reunion show in Phx during 96 and it was great but didn't bother for any of them after that. Now if we could just figure out a way to get Agnetha out of hiding, I bet they'd do another show in a heartbeat.  |  IP: Logged Justin West Master Film Handler Posts: 271 From: Peoria, IL, USA Registered: Jul 2001 posted 03-25-2007 01:35 AM                     How about "The Wiggles" in concert??? Caught the last one with the YELLLOW Wiggle on tour!  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-25-2007 09:00 AM                     Mike and Tim, we could have the most awesomest slumber party! I love all that stuff--had to learn to enjoy KISS because of my cousin Mikey. The last concert I attended was Cher at Madison Square Garden during her farewell tour. A year before that was...Cher...you guessed it, during her farewell tour. This time in Philadelphia. Apparently, she really likes long goodbyes. In Philly, Cyndi Lauper opened for her, and she was amazing! Then at some point during the tour, she broke her leg or something, and in MSG, Comedian Dom Irrera opened. Preferred Cyndi over Dom, but either way, great show.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-25-2007 10:28 AM                       Ooooh, that would be fun! We could watch retro stuff and listen to 70s music!  |  IP: Logged
