Nathan
well nathan here is my 2 cents on other acts i like...
as you can see from my moniker i'm an ole' time deadhead so i guess
i was into the dead for a few years, ya know a couple of hundred shows
lol.....
in all honesty however some of my best weekends started with a
friday nite dead show and a sunday nite who show.....awsome memories of
that....but if the dead and the who were playing the same nite close
together i would go see the who no questions asked...
i also have a deep fondness for yes and king crimson. jethro tull was
always fun and santana rocked a few of my evenings as well. lately the
allmans' have been interesting and blues traveler will probably be the
next long time sustained band phish not withstanding (they are ok but the
crowd they draw is terrible and remember i'm a deadhead i know sleaze
when i see it) crosby stills and nash are fun on a good nite when
stephen is into it and i really got off on seeing the talking heads.
i've seen hot tuna too many times and jorma more often than that.
genesis was great in the late 70's and early 80's but the police really
kicked ass in concert before they went comercial * here is a hint - see
sting now because he is getting back to the early days of the police
with the pace of his shows....remember he is the bellboy!!!!!
rush was cool in 79 and 80 but they lost me when the crowd started
getting more into the light show than the music. i reccomend seeing the
neville brothers when ever possible and if david gilmour plays by himself
again that is a great treat, much better than floyd....more jamming.
ratdog is becomming a great band and i would give a testicle to see bobby
and the midnites one more time lol.... the clash were great and when the
opened for the who i was blown away BAD is just as good. the sex pistols
had a great album and pil was even better, i hope lydon can keep off the
needle just for a little while... searching my memory banks (what ever
is left) i remember a few good shows by the b52's and even springsteen.
utopia was a great escape as was dylan and petty.
but none can ever compare to a who concert (even these big band
reghallas of the last 10 years)
on an average nite for the who the creschendo after creschendo is not
matched by anyone (remember i love jerry) and the spontineity is
awsome........ on a good nite WOW
listen to it all
they do !
