Never seen live porn.

Live performance? Torn!

1) Henry Mancini
2) A wonderful production in Elvira, NY about Mark Twain
3) Baryshnikov
4) Tom Scott
5) Najee
6) Road production of the Lion King
7) The Foreigner, put on by my college theatre (I ran props)

In 1978, at college, I saw GG in the field house, sitting on the floor. I was so sure that it would be difficult to get a ticket that at the first opportunity I had to get the tickets, I rushed to get them - it was a whole hour after they went on sale, and I was sure they'd be sold out. I got ticket numbers 00001-00005. :lol2: Opening for GG was a group called Baby Grand, featuring Eric Bazilian and Eric Hyman, who later formed The Hooters. They were a popular local Philly band who got alot of airplay with "all you zombies" and Robby wrote "time after time" for Cindy Lauper" IIRC.

Oooh me too. I probably saw that tour 20 years ago that you mention. They came to the Spectrum in Philadelphia.

My other big favorites are Arlo Guthrie, Chuck Mangione, and Benny Goodman. I also loved seeing Harry Chapin, probably the year before he died.

At the Yeadon or Lansdowne theater?

Paul Simon-Graceland tour, Nutter Center, Dayton circa 1990-91

Les Miserables-Aronoff Center, Cincy, circa 2002? I love the Black/Red song!

Neither. Temple University Music Festival, which is also where I saw Arlo Guthrie, Chuck Mangione and Benny Goodman. It was a great venue, with fantastic acts.

My bleacher ticket for Harry Chapin was around $6. Mostly I'd pay $2 for parking and watch from outside the tent. Special acts, I paid for.

Fave: Phish- Sugarbush '94
closely followed by any of the other 6 Phish shows I saw.

Then: Santana- Stowe, VT '92
Jethro Tull- Theatre St. Denis, Montreal- 95? 94? Shrooms contributed to a crazy stageshow
Pink Floyd - Montreal '95
Tea Party- Montreal '94- awesome, very intense

wolf - you saw Arlo?!

I hate you.

I see many empty seats...what a shame.:(
Not because the performers didn't have a full house, but for the people who could have had those seats and missed this fantastic exhibition.

Saw a good one last night in Frank Marino. Its his 35th anniversary tour and the first show was at a club not too far from where I live.

An amazing guitar player who recorded 3 albums/CDs before he was 19 and played alongside the giants of Rock (Sabbath, Aerosmith, Santana, ELP, the Eagles, etc.) at the 1974 Cal Jam festival at the ripe old age of 20 (under his band's name of Mahogany Rush). His 1976 live album is one of the best live albums from the decade. Imagine Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Winter having a kid just as technically proficient but more intense than either of them and you'll get a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Last night, 32 years later, he played for 3 straight hours everything from Hendrix (lots) to Clapton, to the blues to Chuck Berry to jazz to acid rock solos that went on forever. Marino's versions of Johnny B. Goode, Voodoo Chile, I'm a King Bee and Purple Haze are just unbelievable. He finished the show with one of the most amazing renditions of Amazing Grace I've ever heard.

There are a few good samples on his site and a few on youTube. Curiously, I saw about 5 different people with Dream Theatre t-shirts at the show so they may have something in common (I don't know much about DT).

Dream Theatre fans would salivate over the phrase: "...technically proficient but more intense..."

Bette Midler - 3x and great each time.

Also Liberace.
