Entertainment & Music Live Bands you have seen.

I was reminded today from one of the Brothers the night we saw this Man,Numan.I don't remember a bloody thing to be honest, must of been a good night.

 

Went to see Flowers (now Icehouse) in 1981 in Perth, but stayed for the main act, Roxy Music, they blew me away.
Same year saw Police, Steve Wonder, Eric Clapton, Ian Dury & Blockheads, Joan Armatrading, Men At Work, Chisel, many Perth local bands.

Through the ensuing years saw Elton John couple times, Eagles AC/DC, Roxy Music (again), Chisel, Crowded House, Arlo Guthrie, Don McLean, and topped it off earlier this year with Icehouse again and that was an excellent concert after all those years ago back in Perth.

Love my music, got it on all the time.

 

Sounds like my mum who apparently saw Meatloaf live but has no recollection of the event...

Some of my favourites live have been Yellowcard, Ill Nino, Mudvayne, Simple Plan, Static X, John Farnham, Billy Joel, Offspring, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Bullet for my Valentine, Killswitch Engage, Sum 41, Funeral for a Friend and I had better put Metallica on here in case my husband reads this

Edit to add: My mum made me see Keith Urban with her one year. Though not my type of music he is a very good showman and obviously loves what he does which shines through in his concerts.

 

I saw Macklemore before he was cool....that's how cool I am

 

Oh, forgot Meatloaf, mid-late 90's in Newcastle, great concert.

Lots of country music in Tamworth each January, too many to remember.

 

Jason Aldean and Florida Georgia Line last year was one of the best.

Springsteen 8 times in 3 countries.

Narrara in the 80s (both) - Simple Minds, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Doug Mulray .....

 

I go to see local live bands every few weeks in Melbourne.

Mostly cover bands doing 60s, 70s, 80s 90s music.

Smaller venues with lively dance floors so you can get really close to the band.

 

I have lost count how many live bands i have seen..this was the standout

 

Really ? you saw Queen at one of the finest moments for them ?

Can we hear you singing along ?

Thought nothing of it at the time, but now......

 

Yes mate, i got to be part of history.
Radio, I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds; invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
Radio

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around because we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio goo-goo
Radio ga-ga
All we hear is Radio ga-ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you

Radio ga-ga
Radio ga-ga
Radio ga-ga
Radio

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

 

This was a good live line up as well

 

I was lucky enough to work in the music industry for 12 years, I went to more concerts than I can remember and got to meet a number of really cool artists (including Meatloaf and Alice Cooper )

So many more I want to add to that list too!

There's not much I dislike about moving to Cairns but one of them is being so far away from where any international acts play. Missed a few since living here that have played in the capital cities.

 

Radio Birdman, Sunnyboys, TISM, Stevie Ray Vaughan, U2 and Simple Minds before they were famous, The Stranglers, Devo and Neil Young playing at the festival hall for 3 and a half hours.
That covers a few genres!!

 

These guys sound as good live as if you were listening to the CD.Show the Left Side.

 

Pink Floyd
Aero Smith
Madonna
AC/DC
Rose Tatoo
And going back further...
The Church
Doug Parkinson
Kevin Borich Express

Some others I just can't remember!
