steelhead77 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Piggybacking off of Impur's thread.... What's the best (or most favorite) concert you've ever seen? For me: 1) Pink Floyd, "Dark Side of the Moon" tour - My first concert, 15 years old. 2) Bruce Springsteen, "The River" tour 1980 - Four hours of nonstop Bruce 3) The "US Festival" 1982 - 3 days and nights of Rock & Roll with 200,000 of my closest friends. 4) Genesis "Trick of The Tale" tour - The first after Peter Gabriel left. 5) Grateful Dead @ Winterland, S.F. - New years Eve - I forget the year (and most everything else from that night) (rock2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Miles, what's that old concert venue at the U of O called? I've seen several show there. Can't remember the name..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wow Hall or McDonald Theater probably I also saw Kid Rock at the Salem Armory with Powerman 5000 and another band i can't remember. Not a huge Kid Rock fan but dang that dude is talented. He played every single instrument on stage. Trumpet, keyboard, drums, both guitars, and like 4 others. It was a great show. Plus its Kid Rock, the chicks in the audience are practically topless the whole time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Back in those days the McDonald was a movie theater. I'll have to go through my old stuff, maybe I can find it. It was over by the student union. I saw that same show with Kid Rock. He can tear it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hult Center and Cuthbert Amphitheater are the only others that come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 The EMU, it was the student union. They used to get some cool acts at The Black Forest Tavern too. I say John Kaye and Steppenwolf at the Cuthbert in Alton Baker Park in the mid 80's. Remember Oregon Jam. With Journey? That was a rocking show also.

steelhead77 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I"m not sure you can use the words journey and rocking in the same sentence:D I saw Journey and Blue Oyster Cult -Pre Steve Perry- at the San Jose Civic Auditorium in about 1975-76. They sure rocked back then. I also saw the very first concert after Steve Perry joined Journey. They opened for Emerson Lake and Palmer at the Cow Palace. Journey just about got booed off the stage. Everybody hated them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Popeil Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 gogol bordello is one of the most high energy shows ive ever been to. two encores. they never slowed down. and every member of the audience is moving at all times. incredible. muse was a surprisingly fantastic concert. great lights. their music and vocals are just as thrilling live as on cd. dave matthews at the gorge is always an enjoyable experience, in addition to the actual musical part. ben folds always puts on an enjoyable show. lots of audience interaction.
