Uriah Heep in Huntington, WVa at the Memorial Fieldhouse in the 70's

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters, Rupp Arena, 2000.

 

The crowd was less wild than shoulda/coulda been, but the show was amazing regardless.

 

Flea sang "I'm a Little Pea" which is apparently uncommon in their live performances.

 

Strangely enough, a little band called 'Muse' opened for them... but I don't think it was THAT Muse. Can anyone tell me if it was or not?

Grand Funk Railroad at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati waaaay back in the 70's.

The Osmond Brothers at Cincinnati Gardens. I was 8 or 9, and went with my parents and 4 older sisters. I remember my sisters going on and on about the concert, and me in awe of being in the place where the Royals played. The next one wasn't any better, I was about 12 and went to see the Brothers Johnson at Hara Arena with my oldest sister.

Mine was at Jammin' on Main in...1996 I think. 7 mary 3 was there and they stopped the show 10 minutes in because people in the front row were jumping barriers... almost caused a riot.

Were they an English Rock band?

That's because the people who used to go to RHCP shows from the mid-'80s to early-'90s and made them wild gave up on RHCP a long time ago. RHCP sacrificed their edge when they became a pop band.

June 1977 World Series of Rock Concert, Cleveland Stadium about 90,000 in attendence.

 

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

Nazareth

Todd Rundgren & Utopia

Ted Nugent

 

 

Later that same month at the same venue - Pink Floyd's Animals Tour

Rush and The Doobie Brothers.:lol:

Love me some Doobie Brothers.

I understand this, and I've accused many a band of selling out myself, but I'll be completely honest, they're my 2nd favorite all time band, and I consider them the 2nd greatest band of all time (yes, they are to mutually exclusive lists of mine). Their popular music has been, IMO, the BEST popular music around in their time.

 

I know a great many people that hold a special appreciation for the time when RHCP was more funky and unique, but I'll take their pop music just as well.

Iron Maiden with Twisted Sister at Cincinnati GArdens Jan 7th 1984.

 

2nd was Rush in the same year.

^ Not to be confused with Mahogany Rush. Anyone else remember the strange urban legend re. their lead guitarist?
