Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted July 29, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted July 29, 2022 So many I wish I had seen but I was born a few decades to late and they no longer tour or are dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 We had a night club on the southwest side and I lived about 2 miles away from that had alot of live music and some great acts once in a while besides local acts. Bands I saw there ( I was mostly under aged to be in there at the time) were Robin Trower, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, Rick Derenger, Fabulous Thunderbirds and I am probably forgetting some as it was 30 years ago. Lots of local acts too like Lonnie Brooks, Sugar Blue, Nicholas tremulous, Kevin Purcell and the Night Burners, Buddy Guy, Mr. Blotto and about 100 cover bands. Those were good times back then. Lots of live music all over the city and blues fest, Taste of Chicago, countless neighborhood festivals (Saw Frampton at one a town over from where I lived). Its way different now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some bands I haven't heard about in a while! I have lots on my bucket list as well. I just found out yesterday that the Scorpions are playing mid August up here. I'd like to see that one but I'm unsure I will be able to make it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah and I got to do it when I was young and those performers were still young enough to still put on great shows. They are all old as fuck now. 2 of the best performers of that group were Rick derringer and Frampton. We were making fun of Rick before he went on because he was only famous for rock n roll hoochie coo but he made us eat our words. Dude is super talented. Frampton played at our town festival and like 20,000 people showed up to see him. He said, "holy shit there are a lot of people here" like he was surprised. He absolutely killed. Rick Springfield played there the following year and was all drunk and belligerent on stage. He made the newspaper for his antics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I guess I’m probably gonna go see Phil and Rex on the Pantera reunion tour. I saw them 3 times in 1996-97 so it’s nothing like I missed them as a group but I wish they would have kept it together.

Was one hell of a show, with Megadeth and Testament as openers. My seats were 5th row on the floor, and I just remember between Megadeth and Testament, some gal puking pills as she was being dragged out.... CRAZY Lout to say the least, but sounded awesome! 27 minutes ago, f7ben said: I guess I’m probably gonna go see Phil and Rex on the Pantera reunion tour.

I've seen Pantera 3 times when they were pretty new, at the Mirage when it was on 24th and 24th in south east Mpls. When the whole floor started moving as a mosh pit, that was pretty insane! Anyone ever been in a mosh pit?? The 3rd time I saw Pantera, and got into the Mosh Pit, there was this huge guy just BASHING little kids as he circled the pit, knocking them down with elbows, shoulders, sometimes hip checks.... My thought was this duded needed to take a hit. As we were circling, I had my buddy give me a shove and hit him HARD about shoulder high, and DOWN GOES FRASIER! He took out about 6 or 7 others as he rolled into the crowd on the floor. He got up so pissed it was like King Kong looking for ants to crush... After a few more circles you could tell he had enough and left the floor. Funny as hell.... Edited July 29, 2022 by Mag6240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
