Bands that you've seen live
Of the 1000's of shows I have been to, there are only two that I didn't go to that I truly will never forgive myself for missing...Johnny Cash at the Power Center in Ann Arbor and Beau Jocque at the Frog Island festival in Ypsilanti. I called my brother about the Johnny Cash concert and he couldn't go so I said.."well, we'll catch him next time". That was in the early 80's and he never came back to town. My band had an engagement the night Beau Jocque played Frog Island, my wife and mother-in-law went. He was dead a couple days later from a massive heart attack. Same with Stevie Ray, about a week after he played Pine Knob he was killed. I was so glad I went to see him when I did. Worst show ever was Bob Seger...my brother hung me with two $30.00 seats (back when that was a LOT for tickets) and even 3 keyboard players couldn't make him sound good. Swore off big venue concerts for a long time after that one. Plus I saw Buckwheat Zydeco the next night at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor for $10.00 and he blew the doors off the place, and Bob Segers $30.00 fiasco!!! Thanks for the flashbacks though!!! I still do about 30 concerts a year, mostly Bluegrass bands nowadays!!! Geof
