Was the Bobby Sherman concert sold out?
I had no shot at going to a Bobby Sherman concert. It's always Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Really! That surprises me. She's alway seemed pretty down to earth...I saw Benatar when she was at the top. Wasn't that impressed. I have a friend that worked security at what was the Hard Rock Casino at Northfield and he told me she was hands down the worst human being that came through there as a performer.

...and I bet the band said y'all were the best. fans. ever.Pink Floyd @ OSU and Indy.
I was told at that time, the OSU venue was the largest crowd that they had performed at the time. I don;t know if it was true or not but they rocked! The fireworks at OSU were awesome. Then I went to Indy, and the pyrotechnics were out of this world!
Rush up in Cleveland area. For three guys, they rock!
Do tell!He also told me a great story about a well known band with what was supposed to be a great guitarist. During the concert he went backstage to find there was a guitarist in the back actually playing for the well-known guitarist who was on stage doing the instrumental version of a lip sync!
He said Wynona Judd was the nicest of all of the performers that came through.
Still, getting to see Keith Partr---- I mean, David Cassady was impressive. I peaked too young by seeing Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods at the state fair in '74.I had no shot at going to a Bobby Sherman concert. It's always Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
Yeah, I could only think of iconic performers. Never went to a festival or otherwise infamous concert. But a HS buddy of mine recently lost his wife of 30-some years. She was 15 years his senior, and is the only person I personally knew who claimed to have attended Woodstock, and had the pictures to prove it.As for Iconic concerts:
Pink Floyd in Columbus: "Thank you, Cincinnati!"...and I bet the band said y'all were the best. fans. ever.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. is that supposed to be funny? Please tell me what I'm missing here. I don't want it to seem that I take the short bus. I know there are many on here on that list....and I bet the band said y'all were the best. fans. ever.
bands have a way of saying 'this is the biggest crowd we ever seen' and 'this is the best crowd we ever have'.I'm not sure what you're getting at. is that supposed to be funny?

I had heard it after the fact, but ok.bands have a way of saying 'this is the biggest crowd we ever seen' and 'this is the best crowd we ever have'.
It was just a joke.
? Good one! I just found the "new country" entertaining mainly because of the "people watching" at the concerts. Those "new country" fans sure love to get drunk. Here's another funny story. The summer before my son's senior year in high school he had football practice in the hot sun during the afternoon. He was a big "new country" fan so he goes to a concert that night. He started feeling sick while at the show. We believe it was due to the heat because that evening it was hot as well. So he goes to the first aid tent. Now he is a big dude who played offensive/defensive tackle. Well the first aid tent ran out of water so they had him sit down and gave him a beer to drink. I'd say the first aid tent crew was not too bright for two reasons: 1. They gave a minor a beer and 2. Alcoholic beverages don't rehydrate very well in the heat. ?Did you bump your head real hard in 2013?
Presume your in the Cincy area...if so, head north about 75 miles to Hickory Hills in Ft Loramie for their Country Concert each July, sans 2020. Wed night through Saturday night. Bring in your own booze, food, and can come and go as you please all day long.? Good one! I just found the "new country" entertaining mainly because of the "people watching" at the concerts.

phone cameras ruined that event. Not a boob to be seen now a days. That was the only reason to go...lol.Presume your in the Cincy area...if so, head north about 75 miles to Hickory Hills in Ft Loramie for their Country Concert each July, sans 2020.

Its a blast, and yeah........drunkards galore.
I am actually a country music convert in the last 7-8 years. ALways was a classic rock, and when I was young and dumb was into the hip hop game (still jam to NWA on pandora every week) and never thought I would ever be a country fan.Lol...has to be the people watching. The music is just God aweful.
Look in the mirror......phone cameras ruined that event. Not a boob to be seen now a days. That was the only reason to go...lol.
New country kind of grows on you but in recent years I've notice fewer and fewer people at the shows. We would get the B105 Country Mega Ticket at Riverbend. But we decided not to get that package this year because of the way Cincinnati was handling the pre-season ticket sales. Turns out it was a good decision since they had to cancel the season. I really like Toby Keith and Blake Shelton. They put on good shows.I am actually a country music convert in the last 7-8 years.

Hated it.
But.......i embraced my reckneck heritage! Got tired of listening to the classic rock station and wanted something new. Pop sucks, hip hop is atrocious. Rock isnt the hair band anymore and sucks. Wanted something knew, and country is all over the place and quite fun!
Let's face it, what passes as country today is pop and light rock. Hell, I remember when Garth and Shania hit it big, people complained how they werent country (at the Country music HOF< this has been said every generation) and now they seem like vintage country!
I enjoy it, started to REALLY get into Merle Haggard, Cash, Alan Jackson, etc since the boogie man showed up and forced us into quarantine!
Garth puts on one HELLUVA show!
My thoughts?Everyone here has a number of years on me, but almost all of you seem to be in to the big hair rock of the 80's. Wondering if anyone has heard of Greta Van Fleet and what all of your thoughts on them are?

I don't listen to them, but they remind me of some of those 80's bands. I wasn't alive back then so I don't know lolMy thoughts?
Turn in your man card.....
