10 Bands I've Seen Live...

NKOTB - Just so I can laugh that you admit it...

Dude - I got paid to be there.  Easter weekend, freshman year of college.  Nothing else going on, so I agreed to work stage crew, and even got to jam on the stage as a part of the sound check.  Made $200 for a few hours' work rigging cables and amps and they let us stay to see the show for free.

@Brant - Information Society stuck out to me at first, but, now I am going with.......Information Society.  And still noone has guessed mine from last year.

Wolfstock festival, Spring of '91.  I was on the stage crew, but would've been at the show if I wasn't.

"...and they let us stay to see the show for free"  and you list this as a benefit?

Unless you were getting the hot MILFs that Mirth passed on who were lusting for some young NKONB, I cannot see this as a benefit?

there were an inordinate number of hawt college coeds at that show.

there were a whole lot of 13-yo's too, but we were focused on the college chicks

If I named 10 bands that I've seen live most of them would be lies, not just 1. I'll simply name the ones that I HAVE really seen live, in no particular order.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Probably around '89. They were just a college circuit band at that point and played with a group called Scram. I liked Scram more. Have you ever heard of Scram? No? Just goes to show you that I know how to pick them.

Adam Ant: In the early 90's at a club on South St in Philly. I was standing near the front of the stage and our eyes met at least once.  :dreamer:  ;D

10,000 Maniacs: I bought tickets to this show because a girl I was hooking up with was a big fan. I surprised her with a trip to the concert.

Ted Nugent: Sometime around '72. I didn't actually attend a concert but I did get to beat on his drum set. Does that count? My mother and he had some mutual friends so we went to one of his parties. I was very young and don't recall it but I'm told I had a lot of fun with his drums.

Lemme guess. You actually saw Ranchbone while hanging out backstage during the filming of Tapeheads.

No, actually, they were the same gig as Information Society - Fishbone were the headliners for Wolfstock in '91

hardly - I was total metalhead back then, and I took Ice Cube's entrance onto the stage to stroll around the rest of the festival.  I did see him on stage for his first song and last song, but in between, I was out and about
