Everybody who loves music, I'm sure has had this situation once or twice in their lifetime. You know, you go to see your favorite band, and they turn out to be a total disaster live, or you consciously skip out on a show, and for whatever reason, really regret missing out on it.
Well here's mine:
The one show that I REALLY wish I never went to:
Aerosmith- 1983, Providence, RI.
Well, before anyone says "why would you regret going?". Well, this version of Aerosmith was without its two gutarists, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, and the show was just abyssmal, to say the least. Steven Tyler was off in another time zone, and the two gutarists who replaced Perry and Whitford were an embarassment.
To top it off, the opening act, David Johanssen (Formerly of The New York Dolls, who later went on to become Buster Pointdexter) was the opening act, and he was literally booed off the stage after 10 minutes, he told us all "Fvck Off, and good night."
Two Concerts I regret missing out on:
The Police- 1983, Providence, RI.
I had a chance to go, but it was on a school night, and I had Final exams coming up, so I said to my friend, "Take someone else, I'm sure they'll be around again next year"
The rest is history.:down:
Queen- 1984, Boston, MA.
This one really hurts. I was and still am a huge Queen fan, and there were still some tickets left for the show at the old Boston Garden, but for some reason, still unknown to this day (I must have been really stoned), I said that I didn't feel like going!?!?!. Again, I fooled myself into thinking. "That's allright, they'll be back again next year. Suffice it to say, that was their last tour of the US, and when they toured again in '86, they only toured Europe.
And then on Nov 24th, 1991.............................:sob::sob:
