1987. Motley Crue- The Wild Side Tour.. I saw Guns and Rose OPEN for Motley Crue. Motley Crue was the headliner and GNR was just some opening bad no one in my group had even heard of and we all thought they were horrible that night.. We were kids and didn't know better..

The highlight for us that night was Tommy Lee in a cage spinning while drumming.. Its amazing what perspective does to things...

It has to be a Crash Worship in San Diego years ago. I believe it was in 1990 at the old Casbah.

Crash Worship played a mix of industrial music, noise and tons of percussion. The music was great, but the performances were always incredible. They were known for trying to burn down nearly every venue they had played in back then and they tried to burn down the Casbah this night in mention. People were covered in wine, chocolate, blood, syrup, ash and sweat and just the right people were brave enough to fling the clothes. There was cake everywhere, fireworks erupting throughout the crowds, procession of drummers, horns, bells and fire just to name a few.

The fire twirlers did throw many flaming pieces of clothing and fireworks into the rafters, but the place wouldn't light. Finally, everyone marched outside behind the drummers of the band and burned a car in the parking lot.

Ahh..good old times. Not exactly a B. Spears show.

I have a couple. Both were memorable mainly because the opening acts later went on to upstage the headliners.

1st was a show where the headlining band was Voivod. Didn't much care for their part, but the opening band was really good (and unknown at the time).
It was Soundgarden (the band before Audioslave for you youngsters out there)
Part of why it was memorable was when the lead guitarist jumped in to the crowd and left a boot mark on my forehead.

2nd was a show where the headliner was a friend of mine, Don Bodin. Don has some great music, but the opening act for his show in Indianapolis was a then unknown act called Disturbed. They put on a great show and have gone on to be quite popular I hear.

Michael Buble in Hawaii. He was an awesome entertainer. At one point he sang without a microphone and was able to project his voice so that everyone in the 8,800 seat arena could hear him clearly. It was amazing!

Sex Pistols 1995 Filthy Lucre tour in London.

I was born on the day they got kicked off EMI and my dad was a fan (not that you'd know it to look at him). It was amazing seeing such an iconic British punk band play in Finsbury Park, even if it was so long after their notoriety. Wonderful day! Iggy Pop was a warm up act. Not sure about his choice of pants though.
