Here is my list, at least the ones I can remember: Ronnie Milsap KIZZ David Allen Coe Conway Twitty U2 Willie Nelson Paul McCartney Billy Joel Alabama The Righteous Brothers Kenny Rogers Bob Seger Tony Bennet Paul Simon ZZ Top Elton John Charlie Daniels James Taylor Oh yeah, I went to watch Zachary Richard play at the Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge and John Fogerty played with him. They were both at Jazz Fest and Fogerty cam to BB to play with him. I got Fogerty's autograph on an LSU hugger.
Pink Floyd - first ever concert when i was like 12...great way to start my concert life Page and Plant Bob Dylan Paul Simon Jethro Tull Aerosmith Ronnie Milsap George Straight Brooks and Dunn Tim Mcgraw (i cant remember all the other bands at Swamp Stock the 3 times i made it there) Faith Hill Martina McBride Kenny Chesney Keith Urban Sammy Kershaw Hootie and the Blowfish Gin Blossoms Better than Ezra Candlebox Bush Breaking Benjamin 3 doors down saliva I am sure there are others just cant think of all of them. I cant even remember who opened for most of these shows I have been to.
Wow...this is going to be a weird list...and I'll probably forget a dozen concerts. Here goes: Guns N' Roses -- twice Metallica -- twice Tesla Slayer Living Colour Pat Green Alice In Chains KT Tunstall Mastodon Kenny Rogers Van Halen Alabama Megadeth Soundgarden Pearl Jam Boogie Down Productions 3 Doors Down -- remarkably bad Disturbed A couple of Lollapaloozas, including Pearl Jam, Ministry, Ice Cube, George Clinton, etc. Next concert -- Killswitch Engage in about a month
Queensryche - About 20 times Cowboy Mouth - Many Many times Rush Pink Floyd Black Sabbath (Dio Version) Dio Pearl Jam (4 times) Lillian Axe (For you old school Louisiana metal heads) Aldo Nova Ted Nugent Billy Joel and Elton John tour Tenacious D Blue Oyster Cult The Rolling Stones (Not good. It was the later years, Steel Wheels tour, lots of $$$ to watch geriatric rock) Nirvana Phish (there is nothing worse then modern day hippies and jam bands) Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac ZZ Top Lynard Skynard Deep Purple Alice in Chains (One of my favorite Bands) Ozzy (Several times) Tesla (Modern Day Cowboy one of the greatest songs of metal) Prince (New Orleans Super Dome Purple Rain) Rage against the Machine The Eagles LL Cool J (Centroplex 1986 I need love tour) Metallica Korn Gordon Lightfoot Marylin Manson (Freak show but for some reason entertaining) The Who (later years sans Keith Moon) Barry Manilo U2 (Centroplex Thanksgiving day, best concert ever, twice in Dallas) AC/DC Journey Gwar Ratt Quiet Riot and Saga at the Centroplex Metal Health Tour The Police (I doubt any of you remember but they played the Fair Grounds on Airline many moons ago) I think they are softball fields now. By highland road. The Gos Gos (I was and still am in love with Belinda) Dave Mathews Band Cheap Trick Snoop Dog Linkin Park Billy Idol (Las Vegas) System of the Down Kid Rock Guns N Roses Blind Melon (Awesome) Motley Crue Bon Jovi (horrible except for all the women there) The Cult Bocephus (If you dont know who that is, nevermind) Zebra Judas Priest (both with and without the gay lead singer) The Talking Heads Merle Haggard (He was loaded the entire show in Fort Worth) Kingdom Come and Kings X Van Halen (LSU Assembly Center 1984) Blink 182 Red Hot Chilli Peppers (About 3 weeks ago) Iron Maiden UFO and Saxon Uriah Heep Krokus 38 Special Kansas Tom Petty Not a concert but worth mentioning. GLOW - Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling - Centroplex Growing in Baton Rouge most decent shows got cancelled. For those of you to young to know Kiss and the Plasmatics - Cancelled due to religious backlash Ozzy - Same as above - Bark at the Moon tour, had to go to New Orleans to see Ozzy and Dio (I did not include any warm up bands like Bonham, Mr. Big etc etc, since I skipped most warm up bands as I was in the parking lot drinking Cokes NOT doing anything illegal) Thats about all I can remember the 80s and early 90s were a haze
Elvis George Straight Lee Greenwood Never was too big on concerts. My mother made us go with her to Elvis conc. in BR and little did I know (in sixth grade) how lucky I was.
