My dad saw The Grateful Dead 7 times and The Who twice!

My dad's been to Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, the Allman Bros., and a lot of other stuff like The Eagles and Jackson Browne.

And Santana and SRV.

OMFG

I found that and just had to post it...sorry :upset:

My mom saw Stevie Ray Vaughan opening for Dire Straits. Beat that.

Let's see, he saw the Dead in '81, Floyd on the Pulse tour, Al DiMeola twice, Steely Dan a few times, Santana with Jeff Beck, either Satch or Vai I can't remember which, maybe both, The Band in '76, the year he planned on seeing Zeppelin was the year Plant was in that bad wreck. Oh, and The Who + Jason Bonham.

Plus tons of others that haven't come up in conversation yet.

NP: The Grateful Dead-Good Morning Little School Girl

My dad saw Paul McCartney.... with me. :upset:

My mom, however, did see Led Zeppelin. And the performance she went to was the one on How the West Was Won. :cool:

You should try Jack Johnson.
A lot of people think he's real sappy, but he actually writes some good lyrics, and can certainly weave together some nice guitar. Definitley a mellow guy, and can craft a solid pop, rock, or surf song.

Yea, Jack Johnson is pretty good. Very relaxing.

I was thinking about doing a thread about him, but I could never find the time. I don't think many people would post in it unless it was a featured-artist esque info thread.

I like Jack Johnson.

If James Taylor did surf music, it'd sound like Jack Johnson.

James Taylor is such a pu[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]sy.

I prefer Jack's voice, but Taylor's isn't too bad. Jack also generally does a lot more upbeat material. Cat Stevens and James Taylor are comparable though.

Cat Stevens has a great voice. Peace Train has got to be one of the happiest songs of all time.

What the hell was the deal with him getting deported or something? I never got the whole story behind that.

Something about getting involved/donating money to (a) terrorist organization(s).

so true.

I don't like James Taylor. I find his voice pretty stupid.

Climb up on the Peace Train W-ooo wooo wooooOOOH! Definitley a good one.

All I really know is that he was on the no-fly list. He is a muslim, but that doesn't make him a terrorist. THE MAN SINGS PEACE TRAIN!!!!

My dad was a Dead Head. He saw them over 30 times he said. He's seen lots of people though..

His first concert was a Beach Boys concert.

<3 Brian Wilson

I love BB single's, so naturally I want to pick up [I]Pet Sounds[/I]. Apparently, they have released a lot of other material that's trash though. I thnik my CD reveiw book would be able to weed out the good from the bad though. :/

I have Pet Sounds. It's pretty good. I'm a sucker for the Beach Boys though..

I find it funny that they made songs about surfing and all that, when only Dennis actually surfed.

:x

the original posers!

Did anybody see that Beach Boys movie?

:o

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]the original posers![/QUOTE]

omg! and such

The Beach Boys were great. They make me happy.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]so...did you guys know that hendrix tapped?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, man, I saw that in this DVD my dad's got.

My friend Tom's dad is a republican Dead head. A rare breed indeed.

[size=1]rhymes lol[/size]

Yeah, I kind of remember that. I don't remember what song or what DVD but I do remember it.

I just sent out Band of Gypsies.

I love this Cream bootleg. Thanks bus. I seem to become more and more obsessed with Cream everyday. I don't know how I listen to them so much but I just can't stop listening to them.

I like Pet Sounds, but I also have a Greatest Hits cd by the Beach Boys that isn't nearly as good as Pet Sounds.

I like Jack Johnson, great relaxing music.

Come on, are you saying that You've Got a Friend isn't a manly song? I don't really like James Taylor btw. Not bad, but not interesting enough to listen to a full cd of his.

What're everyone's favourite songs off The beatles' revolver?

It's just like the lead singer from Boston always singing about partying, when in fact he was the biggest nerd ever in high schoool/college.

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]What're everyone's favourite songs off The beatles' revolver?[/QUOTE]
She Said, She Said
Good Day Sunshine
And Your Bird Can Sing
Taxman

I'm listening to Village Green Preservation Society now.

I havent decided my favourite songs off it yet - they're all so good!

I really love that bit in And your bird can sing, where it goes "and your bird can sing... but you dont get me". I love the chord change at "but you dont get me". Pure lennon genious

I personally like She Said, She Said the best. Something about it that's awesome.

I was listening to Eight Days A Week this morning. That is my favorite early Beatles song. It's so good.

[QUOTE]What're everyone's favourite songs off The beatles' revolver?[/QUOTE]

"I'm Only Sleeping"

easily

Yeah, I'm only sleeping is really really good. One of my favourite songs and really fun to play. I really love the sound of it. I love all the instruments and the singing.

Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, She Said, She Said, and I'm Only Sleeping are my favorites. Gov't Mule played She Said, She Said when I saw them last year, it was cool.

I really didn't much care for Pet Sounds.

TheDMV: I keep thinking you're Schyma because he used to have like that exact same avatar.

I just learned the riff in "I Feel Fine". Such a good song.

What do you guys think of 'run for your life' by the beatles?

One of my favourite things about I feel fine is the riff. This is yet another beatles song that has such an awesome vocal melody.

I agree! There is nothing wrong with that song :angry:
