I wish I had seen Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd live in person- just have their Live DVD's. Awesome performers !

But my son Flipper JR. treated me to see Paul McCartney and his younger band in 2005 for my birthday . Awesome performers ! Three and a half hour show with about 35 - 40 songs- all the old Beatles stuff and McCartney's stuff as well. The guy was very likeable, personable. joked with the audience, just like a friend from next door. Such humility there- you'd have never known he was from the greatest group ever ! Awesome concert which I'll never forget ! My son and I smuggled in some Vodka in out water bottles- made it even mORE enjoyable ! Rockin ' out ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Band on the Run

Both Paul McCartney and the WHO gave me complimentary tickets to NY shows. I was disabled and a great fan, who spent thousands of dollars on them over my life. When the WHO was doing Tommy at Radio City for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame my mom went to get me a ticket. I had no idea how many young kids were into the WHO. She was too old to compete. The box office told her to write to the WHO's concert management and ask if they could do anything. The WHO wrote back that b/c it was a charity event, I could not have a ticket but they were performing over in Jersey at the Jimmy Hoffa memorial stadium. My brother came in b/c I was so ill. I figured we'd be up in heaven. We had fourth row center between Roger and Peter. I needed smelling salts.

I was at Woodstock and Bangladesh but the experience is so different so close. Paul McCartney gave me comp tickets that were decent, too. Now I see fewer concerts but I go for much better seats. It is night and day.

I had to leave NY temporarily. The only music around here is tribute bands. Tribunte bands make you appreciate the artistry of the true artist.

I also noticed that my concerts go back the furthest so far.

I've been to awesome NY Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera concerts and much ballet. Pavarotti for free in Central Park was a thrill. I love the spirit of the crowds. What I don't like is the beer drinking which leads to conflicts that would not otherwise happen. It seems men love drinking kegs of beer and that it is what they serve in stadiums.

Flogging Molly. That was such a great show. I wish they'd come back here more often. Also, AC/DC was another great show.

I saw Motorhead open for Alice Cooper in 1988....

They opened with Ace of Spades.. which was Cool....but after the 3'd song they all sounded the same....

I saw Alice get the Gallows that night......

He put on a great visual show....

It was in a small Hall so every seat was a good seat

Saw The WHO in 1989 for their Final (LOL) Tour! Twice once for free (Dad was a Cop working the Concert....Got Escorted In)

The 2'd show it poured 20 minutes before the show...... A Double Rainbow was over the Stadium...... And Thousands of People Broke out in Unity singing from Tommy...... THE SON!!!!!!!!!! THE SON!!!!! THE SON!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone was soaked to the bone LMAO....No left for the bathrooms that night.... we just stayed where we were..... It was Gross but funny....everyone was joking about it...

Pete also almost broke my ear drums...... not kidding it was the loudest I EVER HEARD!!!
