I’ve seen the Scorpions three or four times and they always killed it.

Granted, the most recent occasion was in maybe 2006 or so.

But I can’t imagine (even more) age has slowed them down much. Just kickass shows.

I had tickets for their first US show at Hurrah in NYC. I also had tickets for the first Sex Pistols show in Pittsburgh. Neither worked out. I did use the JD tickets for New Order's first show, but definitely not the same.

I saw AC/DC with Bon Scott. It lives up to the hype. He was your hero within minutes. The whole band was undeniable.

gh411 t1_jc4ff9d wrote

I can’t tell you how jealous I am (lol) but also how happy it makes me to know this. Thank you. Their music, particularly the Bon Scott records got me through high school (unfortunately he died just before I started high school). I must have seen their Let There Be Rock movie close to a hundred times now…I actually first saw it in the theatre when it first came out (as close as I’ll ever get to seeing him in concert).

The_Observatory_ t1_jc3j5wy wrote

I've seen nearly every artist I ever wanted to see, although for various reasons I've never been able to catch Judas Priest or Ozzy Osbourne live. Those are the ones I could have seen if things had worked out. I even had a ticket for an Ozzy show in the late 80s but I couldn't get to the show for some forgotten reason.

The ones that were impossible for me to have seen, but would have most wanted to see, would be The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. I was born a couple of years after the Beatles broke up and after Jimi died.

Expensive-Material-3 t1_jc7a7kh wrote

Hall and Oates was very cool. It was the last big show I saw before COVID.

Saw AC/DC a couple times way back and that was always wild and took a while for the ears to stop ringing afterwards.

Scorpions was Love at First Sting tour so they were on the very top back then.

Elton I saw in Vegas. Wild erotic show with sexual videos in the background and large breasts that shot confetti.

I saw him with Billy Joel also. That tour was a night packed with awesome music.

Madonna (in her 80s heyday)

I am seeing Billy Joel in October. He's been on my bucket list. He's touring with Stevie Nicks, who I saw live back in the 90s.

Nightwish (they were in NY last May but I didn't have the money to travel). They're making a new album so I hope to catch that tour when and if they do it.

Almost saw Elton John, but my mom (who was going to spring for tickets) would only pay for lawn seats, and those were over $70 a ticket so I said no. I told her I'd rather pay more and be able to sit in an actual seat.

Phil Collins
