That was Mike talking about going to gigs in the early to mid- eighties in California. I never realised how violent they were until I read NOFX's biography. It is written from the perspective of all four band members, so like all eyewitness statements, each chapter is slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it was in Montreal, Jarry Park. Sounds like you had the best seats for a half hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4quality Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 First Concert: some country artist Paul Brandt or something Last Concert: Megan Thee Stallion (Razzmatazz Barcelona) June 2022 Best Concert: Flaming Lips w/ Modest Mouse at the Plaza of Nations 2004? Worst Concert: Rza (Starlight Room Edmonton) 2009? He was on super late and ended super early because a giant brawl broke out in the audience. He was good...the crowd not as much. Loudest Concert: Sun O))) Seen the Most: Of Montreal or The Hidden Cameras Most Surprising: Tame Impala or Mechanica popular Next Concert: Pet Shop Boys? I might see something in between now and then. Wish I Could Have Seen: Olivia Tremor control, or the Silver Jews. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a opening act for the opening act as well! Old timers might recognize the band though. It was the Payola$. Many more are likely familiar with that bands guitarists later work as music producer for a number of Metallica's albums (The Black Album, Load, Re-Load and unfortunately St Anger). Bob Rock.

Barnstorm Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 1st- Alice Cooper, Pacific Coliseum 1972 Billion Dollar Babies tour Supertramp at least 5 times including 1974 at Queen Elizabeth Theatre for release of Crime of the Century album Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road tour. KC & Sunshine Band backed up. Genesis x 2 Yes x2 Queen x2 ( all in mid 70s) Jethro Tull EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - Feb 14 1974 Brain Salad Surgery Tour, Pacific Coliseum. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST in every respect. Heart x 2 Dr. Hook Moody Blues Aerosmith - the worst, mid 70,s , they were all wasted. Pink Floyd x3 Roger Waters at the Gorge in Wa. State Excellent show Led Zeppelin July 17, 1977 Seattle Kingdome, no longer in existence. Was the 2nd or 3rd last North American show they ever did. Robert’s son died several days after the Seattle show and the band packed it in and returned to England. Over all concert experience was incredible , definitely the loudest, our ears rang for hours after. Huge crowd outside waiting for gates to open , just a sea of people , 70,000 plus. American police on horseback riding through crowd beating people with billy sticks, To see John Bonham play Moby Dick was an experience. Page was wasted on smack. Cars x2 Little River Band Ted Nugent Boston ACDC Deep Purple circa 73/74 CSNY The Who x 2 - one concert at Pacific Coliseum was a lottery draw for tickets due to high demand. Neil Young & Crazy Horse Late 60’s and the entire 70’s was such a phenomenal era for music . The concert experiences were entirely different than they are now. Todays experience cannot hold a candle to how it was in the early 70’s. Anything goes was an understatement, I saw a lot of bands and have certainly forgotten some of them. Always enjoyed the summer time gigs at Empire Stadium. Usually featured about 5 or 6 bands. I remember Nick Gilder being booed off the stage immediately as he tried to play Hot Child in the City. The crowd wanted Supertramp. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only break the band had was when Bonzo played Moby Dick, Video doesn’t do the show justice. You had to be there to understand… it’s a piece of R&R history. I have so many stories and memories of that experience, 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
