What bands have you seen live? - Gear-Monkey Guitar Community

Someone did a thread on this on another forum I go to, so, yup, I'm a-stealing it. Use your discretion as to how "big" a band should be in order to be worthy of mention in your list-- I've included some slightly less-known punk bands that non-punk people probably haven't heard of, but a lot of punk rock people would've. I haven't included the hundreds of "local" type bands I've seen/gigged with (except a couple who later became semi-famous or arguably historically important).

So anyhow, here's mine, show me yours!

Well, I'm more than twice your age.

Actually, most of them. There are a few from the '70's that I wouldn't have been able to list had I not saved the ticket stubs, though, including Aerosmith and Mahogany Rush and Nugent.

And thoiugh I do remember the Plasmatics. let's just say my recollection of that evening is slightly... altered. RIP Wendo O.

I would love to have seen those shows (read see most of those artists in their hey-day instead the really overpriced retirement tours). I especially wish I'd gotten to see James Brown, that would've been awesome.
