You take the best pictures SS...wow!
In Detroit throwing a pair of shoes over a tree branch or a telephone line is a signal that a gang killing has been carried out. (sorry for this new image)
Everyone at the campfire is doing so good lately, how nice!
Too bad jelly is still as bossy as ever.

Wait a minute - I'm not bossy, I just like to passionately tell people what to do. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> I just went to Boyne Mountain, on our way through a little town, there is a shoe tree. Story goes, once you graduate from HS you toss your shoes up in the tree on your way out of town. Much nicer story than the Detroit one. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Did you hear about that Kid Rock concert at Boyne Mountain last summer jelly? My girlfriend's daughter went and she said she actually feared for her life. They had close to front row and she said they were mobbed so bad that if she had fallen she would have lost her life...and the fights were unbelievable, I guess one girl lost an eye and part of her face. That scares me about Kid Rock...he should have stopped the concert. I'll never go see him now and doubt I'll ever let my daughter go to a concert. Times have changed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

When my D was 16, I 2k her and her friend 2 the last Oingo Boingo concert. It was a great concert, outdoors at Irvine Meadows (formerly Orange County International Raceway, home of the Bonnie and Clyde antique race car invitational... ...but I digress). But there were kids puking in the planters behind the outhouses, and a bit more carring on going on than I wanted her 2 be subjected 2.
She 2rned out a lot better than I can take any credit for, though.

My first concert was Van Hagar. I was 15. Somehow, I will never know how, I convinced my parents to let me camp out for tickets. Those were the good days before the evil empires known as "Ticketmaster" and "The Eagles" and "cell phones" ruined arena rock. At the campout, there were fights and substances, but everyone I crossed paths with was nice to me.
Dumb band to see, but hey, I was 15. What do you want?
I'm going to hoist one for Schluter tonight. Don't know what else to say.

Where I grew up in the boonies we substituted keggers for concerts. But there was still a lot of puking and carying on.
The only live band I heard until I was out of college was the jazz band I played in.

I guess it depends on who you are seeing, and whether security has lost control or not. I left a ZZ Top concert last summer (only went because it was outdoors and a very nice day), because security had no control and I started getting a bad feeling so we left...I'm too old for nonsense now.
and as my little girl always says -
"beware of stupid people in large crowds"
My first concert was "Three Dog Night", and my parents took us (Salt Lake City), I was 12 and it was a blast. I don't remember noticing any drunks/druggies/fighting or anything like that.

First concert was Loverboy.
Best one was Lallapalooza with George Clinton and the P Funk Allstars and Beastie Boys. It was a blast.
Worst concert was the Smiths.
Best mosh was Butthole Surfers.

Hey Weaver, my very first live concert was Stephenwolf and 3DN was their lead-in!

Lollapalooza was one of my favorites too, though I missed the first with Jane's Addiction, which would have been way cool.
My absolute best concert was a band that none of you probably know.
Worst? I saw Elliot Smith once and he was not very good. I have a friend who saw Natalie Merchant once, and she and her band tried to play "Honky Tonk Women" and they didn't know it and couldn't fake it, and she laughed and laughed at how adorable they were. My friend is still angry about it, years later, and I don't blame him.

I saw the Chili Peppers on a regular basis before they struck pay dirt. They'd play Deep Ellum in Dallas A LOT!
Still, the most fun is Brave Combo...it's just happy, good music...clean stuff you can take the young'uns to and dance in the park with them.

I understand the keggers, that's what we have in our neck of the woods. Concerts, gosh I'm kind of embarassed, George Jones is one of my favorites. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Bad things never happen at the concerts I go to. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

At Lollapalooza II the crowd was so desperate to mosh that you felt the crush when Ministry's guitar tech came out to tune up. I remember that mosh pit being about the size of a football field. When they did "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" it was like the Apocalypse.

Hey Weaver! My first concert was Three Dog Night too! Back when the Universal Amphitheatre here was an outdoor venue. I was about 11 or 12. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Worst concert..B'52s cuz the crowd was NUTZ. Best concert Simon and Garfunkle reunion tour. Or hmmm...Doobie Bros reunion at the Hollywood Bowl which is a totally cool venue
