That was definitely a grand show!  I wasn't so much hearing the music as I was seeing the sound pierce my brain.  Loudest show I've ever seen.

I saw them in Frankfurt, and you?

Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

one of my first concerts.

Ted Nugent headlined my first rock concert around 1980 in Charleston, WV.  Opening acts were Krokus (awful) and Blackfoot (pretty good).  It was also the first time I ever smoked anything other than tobacco.  We realized just how loud the show was on the trip home when I asked my friend Russ to turn up the radio in his Horizon TC3 and we realized it was cranked - then realized that the windows were rolled down and  realized that we couldn't hear wind noise.     

I then saw Nugent again a few years later at a water park in Orlando.  The stage was set up at the end of the wave pool, so we watched from innertubes, so that was an experience.  We hadn't heard of the newly formed opening band - Guns N Roses.  It was quite a show!   Good times!

I'm really looking forward to live music again!

On a post/space/prog or whatever rock bender....

Godspeed You! Black Emperor...Astra...

.. A Perfect Circle...Tool...

Which will arc back to Genesis (pre '77)..  Eno...Tull ..KC.. prog rock assortment.. hard rock classics 

Notably some music doesn't jibe well when cutting things - particularly with power tools!

I have been to quite a few concerts  a few stick out in my memory

We spent a week up in he mountains in California  and had a freaking blast.  as we were hiking out, we started seeing people, not one or two but groupps of 20 and 30,  then we started hearing music.  we hiked down to behind  back side of a Dave mason Elvin Bishop concert.  A week long party topped off by a free concert. EPIC

I saw Pink Floyd animals tour at soldiers field in Chicago. A huge pig float was Floating around in the air,  I asked my bud, Hey man, do you see a big pig floating around?  he said yes.  I said OK,,For a minute I thought i was freaking out.

years later I worked security for a few concerts UNTILL i met some B____ named Joan Jett.  LOL  I was back stage and had to take a leak, could not find a bathroom anywhere.  She walked into her dressing room as I was walking out of her bathroom. LOL  I got TOSSED/. fired.  CANNED..B---!!!

another epic event was the day I met BB King  i Was tending bar in a bar called Charles in Yazoo Ms.  Some dude walks in the Bar and asked if BB King could play that weekend for the door proceeds.  I said HELL YES,  then informed the Owner, She said I did good, Yadda yadda,  on Saturday night Mr King took a break, out behind the bar he was seated at a picnic table. We shared a joint and had a really good conversation about nothing important just 2 guys talking
