A little later than geezer . Hey , L.A. . How many of you have seen Guns n Roseās. I would have liked to have seen them . Your hometown boys . They were stars with that attitude.
The only Guns n Roses song that I can recall even liking was Knocking on Heavenās Door. Nope, I wasnāt at any of their concerts. (But then, Iām in San Diego, not LAā¦)
Four shows, 3rd row center + backstage passes. I worked for their biz manager. It was awesome!

Since we are talking music . Tell me what shows you have seen at the whisky a Go Go . Motley Crue , James Taylor , many others .
I saw a lot of those hippie bandsāthe Who, Grateful Dead, Stones, Jefferson Airplaneābut none of them were as memorable as Devo, Bowie, or Iggy Pop (with Bowie).

A lot of bands but the three that stick out are because I was in high school and it felt like a really big deal - X and The B-52ās and The Go-Goās.

Iāve seen the Stones and the Who (late 70-early 80s)---- all of the times that Iāve seen PJ Harvey were more memorable and a better concertā¦ the National or REM were better than the Stones
Sons.of Champlin were more memorable than any of the famous hippie-era bands I can recall.
Never saw the Velvet Underground.

Petty is good, but Neil Young is better than he was. Springsteen is better than both.
One of my regrets is never having seen VU or Lou Reed. Alas.
But I have enjoyed Laurie Anderson.
Saw X and the GoGos at the Starwood. Great show. Crazy Eddie Nash venue.

Laurie Anderson
Iāve LOVED Laurie Anderson since I discovered the 4 disc set of United States at a used record shop my freshman year of college. Iāve been fortunate enough to see her perform her āConcert for Dogsā at the Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax (when it was still The Cinefamily), along with a showing and Q&A of her film āThe Heart of a Dogā. The week before, she also came to do Q&A for a 35mm print showing of her concert film āHome of the Braveā. I got to speak with her briefly (she was lovely and kind) and itās still the only celebrity selfie I have ever taken.

I liked PJ Harveyās early material. Then I saw her at the El Rey on the Let England Shake tour. Soooo pretentious.
My husband & son have seen The National twice (Boston & LA). Iām sure son would say theyāre better than The Stones, lol, but Iād have to ask husband if he agrees with that one.

I think so too, as I also think that Joan Baezās āWinds of the Old Daysā had a lot of undertones about her feelings towards Bob Dylan in her early years, before Diamonds and Rust.

saw Laurie Anderson at UCLA performing O Superman. Truly a great show. I caught her a couple other times later as well.
