Henderson, MN Forums History Remember when... Name your top 5 music concerts you've been to

1. AC/DC Back in Black tour with Ken Boelter,Squirrel, and Terry Kirkenwitz (my 1st)

2.Iron Maiden/Scorpions/Accept..1983?

3.Iowa Jam, 1983..Motley Crue, Night Ranger, Ted Nugent, Ozzy

4. Iron Maiden at the Orange County Civic Center/Arena/Building/Concert Having Place, CA (no barricades to the stage....MAYHEM!...DEBAUCHERY!!)

5. Van Halen 1984 tour

inelidgable for post season play: Aerosmith, Yes, and Neil Young (sorry Koester)

Couldn't remember the name of the place in Green Isle where Sherwin played: Rustic Inn, now the Gray Fox; Buelah was the manager.
Maybe the SEKS/Dave Osterman birthday party should rank #1
Then there's John "Coconut" Beseke performing at Antique Ag Days 1977.

1. John Mellencamp (3 times)
2. The Chieftains (2 times)
3. The Wailers
4. Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers
5. SHAW (a couple times….once was just not enough)

I saw Brian Setzer (of Stray Cats) perform solo once. He opened for George Thorogood…I was really not interested in seeing Brian Setzer but he was amazing.

1. One of the 24 Bob Dylan shows I've been to. I can't remember half of them. They all moved me.
2. Page/Plant '98
3. John Paul Jones at the Cabooze '99. He looked at me and nodded, thereby acknowledging my presence on this planet. Do I sound like a Zeppelin fanatic yet?
4. Phish (seen them a couple of times, can't remember those either). Three hours of jamming, best people-watching opportunity ever.
5. Radiohead and the Beta Band 2001, Downtown Chicago.
6. If I may add another, It would have to be Jack Norton and the Mullet River Boys, 2005, Montgomery Opera House. Henderson needs a performance space like that!

Oh by the way Tom, I'm insanely jealous of your Roy Acuff show. Man, if I could have a time machine... Let's see: Woody Guthrie, The Carter Family, young Bob Dylan, Ledbelly, The Doors, Johnny Cash at a prison, I'd see them all!

WOW I had think hard, I don't remember the years.

Edge fests Summerset
Kiss farewell tour TWICE Target Center
Def Leapord and Ugly kid Joe STate Fair
Blink 182 Saints Stadium
Blink 182 and Green Day Target Center

Sugar Ray, Avion at Red, White and Boom

1. The Rolling Stones with opening act Stray Cats
1981 or 1982. (It was supposed to be their farewell tour!)
2. The Chieftans - early 90's
3. Peter, Paul & Mary - Rochester, late 80's
4. Amy Grant with Michael W. Smith - late 80's
5. Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Carman, and many, many others at SpiritFest in the 90's - twice. (SpiritFest was held at the same place as WeFest, but security said they always liked our group better! )

Also on my list: Michael Johnson many times in St. Joseph, Amy Grant in Collegeville, Johnny Cash at the Carlton Celebrity Room, and Bobby Vee and friends at Rockin' Round the Clock in St. Cloud. (All in the 80's and 90's)

1.) The Cars, Met Center. It was many years ago and a special time for me. Pat Spellman & Brian Pieper were there.
2.) The Tragically Hip, State Theater. I was in row two of the orchestra pit.
3.) The Del Fuegos, Georgia Satellites, and Tom Petty with the Heartbreakers, Met Center.
4.) Van Halen, Met Center. I went with “Wolf” Steckman and others.
5.) Cities 97 Concert in the Park, Canterbury. This was a few years ago. The Bo Deans and Bear Naked Ladies were great.

So the BoDeans are decent eh. They're on the Rockfest lineup in Cadott this year. Didn't they do the "Party of Five" theme song? Oh yeah, Megadeth will be there too!

The BoDeans are great...what I remember of them from an afternoon up in Collegeville. It was a rather warm day and the cold malted beverages seemed to be going down easy.
The "Party of Five" themsong isn't even one of their top 5.
