Led Zeppelin cover band, it was amazing. Light shows, and most important of all, BEER! One of the best "gigs" I've been too. Although the KISS comeback tour was pretty sweet as well, but I was a bit younger and wasn't old enough to drink.
yeah i lived in Holland [Ijmuiden] -when Kiss did their 3D world tour '98 ..as a Kiss Strutter myself ..i loved it n got spraypainted like Paul Stanley ..wicked night n was right glad they sang in English not Dutch.
..as i was dreading not being able to singalonga! [not] in 1991 this girl i worked with took me to this fairly small venue (3000 seats maybe?) in Dallas to see 2 bands i'd never heard. freaking Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Great show. Great night.
That was also the year i saw Janes Addiction at the first Lollapalooza. Another great (and pretty damn blurry) day. Oh, and Metallica in '86 before Bob effing Rock. Pink Floyd, Division Bell tour, Cow Palace in San Francisco, CA.
A good friend of mine and I went to the show but arrived about 5 hours early. Having nothing better to do, we went exploring and found ourselves backstage, sitting at a large, round table, drinking beer, eating peanuts, and chatting with the band and crew. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It wasn't until quite a while later that we were found out and escorted back to the front of the house. As we passed through the, previously unattended, roll up door the security guy laughs and tells us 'Damn you guys got balls', probably because we wandered around backstage without credentials for a good 3 hours and nobody asked us anything. We laughed back, said thanks, and went to our seats. |
