...and all their respective openers, a bunch of local bands, some friends' bands, etc. Living in the SF Bay Area has its perks.

[sutrix]

Fuck you. Everyone.

[modiFIed]

I think I was born at Woodstock.

But that might have been someone else.

Conor and his band of emo cry-babies will be here in a couple of weeks. Everyone's all a-twitter.

But I'm more interested in the symphony's "The Music of Pink Floyd" in May--featuring a "complete rock band". That should really kill - and it will be cheaper than Roger Waters. And better.

Ted Neeley and company coming, in June, I think. I really should go to that. Tickets will be outrageous.

Saw a great production of Coppélia a couple of weeks ago. I know - but I'm a sucker for classics. And Beethoven's Ninth for the season closer - full choir. Yeah, I'm gettin' soft.

I guess I'm more interested in what's coming, rather than what's been.

I will say I enjoyed an REM show in a small bar in Nashville when they were still a Georgia club band. Got to join Stipey on stage for a song or two - we did "Gloria" (G-L-O-R-I-A). That's my big brush with fame.

[marsjams13]

This is going to take a while. . .i'll get back to you.

[katatonic]

mars, why don't you just make the best list you can and edit or add later?

Like this:
Pet Shop Boys

mod, you should definitely go see Ted Neeley, because I missed him and somebody has to tell me how bad I missed out.

[Farehamer]

I make no apologies, this goes back over the last 17 years.....

In no particular order

Tesla
Wildhearts
The Almighty
Love Hate
EMF
Metallica
Megadeth
Pantera x3
Faith No More
L7
Bloc Party x3
Athlete
Stereophonics x4
Paul Weller x3
The Cardigans
Beck
Motorhead
Killers
Kaiser Chiefs
Pearl Jam
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dogs D'Amour

And probably a few more I can't remember

Is there anything you haven't done?

And I'm still waiting for those FM7 pics.

[Farehamer]

Fuck you. Everyone.

Never heard of them. Are they a boy band?
