A quick meme

I don't even know the point of doing this other than to illustrate how old I am

Seems like you've seen some interesting bands along the way!

In my (misspent) youth ;o) It was hard to come up with this list, too, as I really didn't go to many events.

I messed up on seeing a big one in July of 1974 called Freedom Jam which included Aerosmith among others. I got sun poisoning, and combined with something I had probably ingested I had to leave before it even started.

I didn't yet even take part on the meme, because I had difficulties coming up with a list that would make sense, so that bands listed would be about "as famous" with each other or that most people who are going to play wouldn't complain I made up half of the names :D That already happened to one friend who mostly listed death metal - and I had actually seen more than half of the same shows as he :D

My youngest made a similar comment- all his bands are Indie bands or Death Metal of limited local exposure.

One of his friends included ICP (Insane Clown Posse) as his 'fake' band, and was suitably irritated when no one guessed he didn't see them!

The original post I saw of this game included bands like The Monkees...

I was blown away when I saw the movie "Woodstock" and found out that Sha-Na-Na performed. To me they were that doo-wop band that had that lame TV show on Saturday nights when I was in high school.

I could have seen Blue Oyster Cult a few months ago. They were playing the Indian Casino scene.

The big festival from my youth was the first Farm Aid. The only acts I remember are Van Halen, John Mellencamp, and Neil Young. Looking at the list of performers, I should have remembered a whole lot more. I don't even remember the Beach Boys or Tom Petty.

I watched that one on the tube- couldn't tell you any of the bands they showed ;o)

Blue Oyster Cult at an Indian Casino... I picture those red/black carpets and the band dressed in dinner jackets, like a PBS fund raiser ;o)
