I saw seen Hall and Oates with Train opening in Cleveland, Also saw Stone Temple Pilots, with Jeff Gutt as the singer, he did well, but I wish I coulda seen Scott Weiland perform I have tickets to go see Rage Against the Machine in July if the concert doesn’t get cancelled, I’m hoping worst case scenario they reschedule, I’ve always wanted to see them live, I’ve heard Tom Morello is awesome live!

1st concert I saw, 19 years old, Jane's Addiction during their 1989 Nothing's Shocking tour.in Portland, OR. During the Pigs In Zen song and i'm being tossed back and forth in a crazy slam pit. Perry got to the edge of the stsge, started talking to the crowd, and jumped down into us and fell right on top of me. We basically caught him so he was ok. Everyone then started grabbing him and for some reason I pulled at his red/orange dreadlocks, and pulled out one (he had beads in his hair). He turned around and punched another guy who he thought did it. Crazy. Still have the dreadlock btw.

Here is what that tour was like. The show below was at the John Aston Ford Theater, 6 days later... No performer I have ever seen, on TV or whatever, was as intense as Perry. This was before grunge rock became the next big thing. Nirvana wad no way more groundbreaking as Jane's Addiction was in their prime.

Man, that would take awhile to put that list together.
It would look at least as crazy as the OP's though.
I'm pretty old

Honestly didn’t get to see all of the show, my friend’s brother got kicked out. Never going to a concert with that guy again lol I’ve recently just started going to concerts(within like 5 years) so some of the bands I really like are either retired or have a different line up, I still love going to concerts though, they’re so fun

Nice list! I left off my country bands/artists. My Gram lived a block from the Clearfield County Fair, and we’d get jobs every summer selling drinks at the grandstand shows, and we saw a slew of country stars for free:

TG Sheppard
Merle Haggard
Boots Randolph
Kenny Rogers
Lynn Anderson
Tom T. Hall
Ray Stevens
Oak Ridge Boys
Ronnie Milsap
Tammy Wynette
Tanya Tucker
Charlie Daniels

Ha!

Man, I get it, they’re a very popular band and I know a lot of people who like them but I just can’t get into them as much as I try.

To make matters worse, they’re sabotaging all the other band lineups I want to see. They were on both of Slayers “final” tour shows here in Dallas and now they’re playing with Megadeth this summer. I can’t get rid of them!

I honestly go to the bathroom and loiter around the beer stands until most/all of their set is over before going back to the pit or my seat.

Godsmack is another, can’t count how many lineups they ruined for me in the early 2000’s.
