BB did not see Rage Against the Machine.

Yep, but I was at the show, just after they played.

Lollapalooza III – they were the opening act. 
When they hit the stage around 11am, I was still at Ft Bragg finishing a 20km ruck march.  I didn't get to Lolla III until the last few songs from Arrested Development, and I was there for Fishbone, Dinosaur Jr, Alice in Chains, and Primus, all of whom sucked that day.

Wow in 68 they were still wee lads eh? That would be like seeing U2 in 1980.

My condolences Jamus. Did you get a Our Lady Peace t shirt?

I win for BB and Rage! This is a fun game, I will post my list later.

Jamus, I'm going to guess Creed, b/c they were the Nickelback-punching-bag of arena rock before Nickelback came along.  You seem too cool for them.

Did you know or were you guessing?  I didn't remember if I ever mentioned it before

[Gusington]

I'll never tell TEEHEE

I saw Creed in Jacksonville, FL in early 1998 at Club 5. This was right before they hit it big but they were well known in the North Fl region. And yes if it was any later I would mostly not have gone to see them. Their first album was actually pretty good IMO

Yeah in 97-98, they were hitting the same 6-8 cities about every 4 months, and each gig, they doubled the crowd size.  They hit their 2-3 cities in FL where they had hometown crowds, and then San Antonio, Phoenix, LA, etc where they could rely on some good-sized hard rock crowds.  It was a very smart way to build a big audience in a couple of reliable cities, and then expand the footprint from there.

Jamus - did Creed do that song they put together for the Spiderman soundtrack when you saw them? 'He's a spider...he's a man...' etc.

My wife and I have been to 100+ concerts.  Mostly punk and power-pop bands.

Somewhere in the early 90's life got too busy and I haven't been to a concert in years. Now that I have the time, I'm not into the crowds. I've started searching for acts in smaller venues lately.

[Barthheart]

I doubt I could think of five bands I've seen live.

Ditto...
