I would've loved to have went to that Rufus/Chaka concert back then to see her titties fall out of that top. Nobody at my school talked about it so I assumed they didn't go to the show.

I forgot to add these shows to my list:
Parliament/Funkadelic, BarKays, Cameo(1978)
Gerald & Eddie Levert "The Father/Son Tour"(2005)

Man, that list don't began to tell all the shows I have seen. Those were just a few. I have seen the O"jays and Levert as well. Barkays and Cameo.

I saw Cameo when they had the full 9 member line up. They were in Dallas with Rick James Head lining and Teena Marie was the opening act.

Teena did her thing.......Cameo was hyped and put on a great show....When Rick closed it out......him and teena marie did everything but get naked on the stage......then after the show, Rick jumped into the audience because the police were about to arrest them for doing drugs on the stage openly.


Had a good friend that was a Radio DJ back in the 80's...Got free tickets to this festival.....Had barkays, The whispers....Manhattans...Patti Labelle, FoxXy......It was an outdoor arena....and it was pouring down rain. I had a date with me and we were under the stage and it is like a flood under the stage. They had 2X6's to walk on so you wouldn't be in the water. I was in the military then and walking on the other side of the board towards us were the two twins from the Whispers.,,,There was this stand off........They were about to go on. They looked at me and told me. Step off.......We are about to go to work........LOL

First concert I went to was to see Drake in 2010, it was sorta meh. Dude can entertain a crowd though.

Saw 50 Cent in 2011 for my second show, that was cool. Also saw Drake again that year, I enjoyed his second show more....

And for the record, I'm not really a fan of Drake or his music, but I go to his shows.

First - ZZ Top in the Oklahoma City Music Hall in November 1973 - symphony hall w/ incredible acoustics.

Most memorable - the first time I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble - at Fitzerald's in The Heights about 1978 or 1979 (memory impairment) - FOR $4.00.

I hope not!!!?? I would have liked to have seen Zepplin though.

I forgot about "Yes" and "Jethro Tull". But I just listed "Most Memorable" and not all.

A local band called Fever Tree opened for The Jefferson Airplane. 1967 in the Houston Coliseum.

my first concert was parliament-funkadelic at the music hall in late 79 or 80. i think it was the gloryhallstoopid tour, by that time i think the pfunk mob was falling apart. i remember mike hampton butchering maggot brain because he was sooooo fucked up.

[zero2010]

Van Halen 1984 tour for the album 1984. 3 sold out nights at the Summit. David Lee's last tour before Hagar.

[kerwil62]

First rap concert:

Timex Social Club, LL Cool J, Whodini, Run DMC(Astroworld Pavilion, 1986)

Only memorable because it was my first one. It was a good show! Just not fond of rap concerts because a lot of unnecessary folks on stage that don't need to be there. Ain't nothing like seeing real musicians playing real instruments.

Did they destroy their instruments like they usually do in most of their shows??

There's a concert video of them performing at the Summit back in 1975. No instrument destruction took place, even though Pete Townshend threw his guitar up in the air. He caught it and laid it against the amps, then the band takes a bow and left the stage.

[Dorian Gray]

This performance at the dome Darth.

Bonnie Raitt, Bb King, Eric Clapton - Austin 1995. I was already into my guitar, but since then, I haven't put it down.
