Ok - some of the bands I've seen live...

Motorhead (x3)
Korn (x2)
Saxon
Status Quo (x2)
Slade (x3)
Camel
Velvet Revolver
Avril Levinge (Yes really)
More but brain is fuzzy.
Too many Jazz artists, bands etc to mention (I was official photographer for an International Jazz Festival for a dozen years or so)

Beach Boys
Foreigner (No one in the band weighed more than 130 lbs, and they were just able to stand- so no drugs here)

That's funny. I went to see Vicki Sue Robinson when Disco was on it's way out and she and Gary's Gang were performing at a hotel. She came out on the dance floor and I danced with her. RIP. She was a phenomenal singer.
 
I’ve seen Dave Brubeck three times when he did tour of the UK, twice in Manchester & once, best of all, in a tiny jazz club in Wigan.I was always a huge fan.
The last Manchester one was at the Bridgewater Hall. He hobbled onto to stage,looked decrepit, half dead. We thought, oh dear this is going to be awful. Felt really sorry for him.Then he sat at the piano & just WOW. The years just fell away from him, you’d never have believed he could be so wonderful after seeing him “walking” onto the stage.

Only one.
In 1975 as a 14 year old, on a school trip to the Sydney Opera House I had the not enjoyable experience of attending a piano recital.
Thankfully I fell asleep during the performance.

It must be something about the Opera House. I went to a free concert there. Classical music. I like classical music. But alas, I too fell asleep. And I was in my fifties. :oops:

My childhood friend Peter Jackson and his younger brother Gerald wrote Turn The Beat Around. I had the occasion to see Petie (as I used to call him) after decades when he and his group performed at an outdoor concert Atlantic City. He was so glad to see me and even remembered what car my father drove all those decades ago! I found out that day that a cousin I hadn't met sings with their group.

My parents and Peter's were very close and we visited each other's homes fairly often. I had spoken with his mother several years before I saw him, to let her know my mother and I couldn't visit as we had planned. She was the one who told me that Vicki Sue had passed. I asked her if Petie had retained the rights to the song and she said he (they) did. I also asked him when I saw him and he assured me they retained the rights. Vicki Sue sang the heck out of that song. IMO nobody sang it like she did. Even Gloria Estefan couldn't top her version.

These are all complete concerts, some not so good quality, others HD and there is a 4k version of Delicate Sound of Thunder, but it's the DVD version, thus it's missing a few tracks. If you find one that is 2:23:?? that is the complete setlist. Chances are though, since YouTube has a copy of that for rent, they might have deleted the full free one.

That should keep ya busy for awhile... :cool:
 
I've been to many, but all of the sort with an audience of maybe 30 to 100 people. Local, regional, and small traveling acts. Jazz, folk, medieval revival, rock, electronica, punk/ska, classical. Ok, throw in high school and college marching band "invitationals" as well with much larger audiences.
