Seriously, buggin me..I also saw Sunny day back in my sophmore year I think. May have been freshman.I used to be a HUGE JEW fan, but kinda grew outta it, some. I'm still a fan of them, but not as much as I was.I saw HIM a few months ago. The lead singer didn't stop smoking once. It was interesting.- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I saw the Beatles in their first American concert back in 1963. I was a little older than the average fan, but that didn't stop me. Also, I saw Glen Miller and his Orchestra in 1937. Great show. I did the charleston all night long.FYP gramps Link to post Share on other sites

Canuckickstan 2 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wow, that's quite a resume there ! hard to compete with that. Iron Maiden and Scorpions on the same bill when they were both in their prime. Link to post Share on other sites
renaedawn 1 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Audio Slave - Chris Cornell did an acoustic solo version of Black Hole Sun that was incredible. The whole show was great. I would have prefered to see Sound Garden or Rage, but this was the closest I will get. Many more shows to post later when I get time.Yeah, I saw this tour last summer too. Cornell's voice is amazing and I was totally ecstatic to hear that he can pull it off live too. They also did 'Bulls On Parade' and it was amazing.Besides that Audioslave show, the 3 Tool shows I've seen have all been amazing. I gotta deviate from Ron Mex on this one though in that I enjoyed Tool MORE than APC. Link to post Share on other sites
