Seen them, love their first album

As far as known bands?

Skinny Puppy
Meshuggah
Ministry (actually, would be surprised if no one here has been to one of their show)
Melvins

Probably not the point of your question, but since I'm older…

Glen Campbell at the Houston Rodeo
John Denver in the round at the Frank Irwin Center
ELO at the Hollywood Bowl

Wouldn't have ever thought inwoukd see flametrick subs mentioned on texags.

I guarantee I was at a show no one else was at. Vice Squad and some other punk bands at fitz one of the mid ought houston flood nights. Couldn't leave Fitz and they didn't close the bar. 1-200 punks, skins and some assorted others drinking until like 5 am with nowhere to go. That was such a freaking wild night. I've got so many great memories at Fitz

Had to include Flametrick Subs to bring in the Satan's Cheerleaders reference.

In October 2020, we drove out to Riverside and saw RHH at a Drive In Theater where the band was 300 yards away from where we were parked and you had to tune your radio to the low wattage FM station to hear the concert.

They alternated parking spaces to socially distance the cars and you were only allowed to leave your parking space to go to the bathroom or buy concessions. And we were thankful for that at the time. That was definitely one of the craziest situations I never could have imagined.

That's funny. I just checked out Flametrick Subs based on this thread (you've gained my trust SeaSpeed after Acid Bath) and first thought was 'reminds me of Reverend Horton Heat'.

Is Steve Fromholz well known? He was at one time.

I've seen Edie Brickell, but she was with The Steep Canyon Rangers and Steve Martin.

I saw them just 4-5 years ago and they were awesome.

Also saw Lou Graham at Lava Cantina. He was absolutely horrible.

On the flip side saw Bret Michaels at Lava a few years ago and he was great!

In their prime :
War
Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen (but they never had a prime)
Charlie Pride
Lynn Anderson
The Isley Brothers

Earl Scruggs
Paul Simon
Ray Charles
Steve Winwood

(Taking a shot at this one - Chris Isaak)

I did see Cat Stevens warming up at The Mid South Coliseum (Memphis) and I was the only person in the seats. He almost hit me with a wad of chewing gum, and apologized

Lol has anyone else seen the Spin Doctors live like I have?

I think I saw the Monkees do a show after a TX Rangers' game at old Arlington Stadium.

Also, I am sure I saw the Beach Boys do a post-game show at Arlington Stadium.

Wife and I saw Meshuggah and Ministry on the same bill. I think Hemlock (a sludge band from Vegas ) opened

Not afraid to admit I've seen both George Michael and New Kids on the Block

Years ago saw some chick named Brandi Carlisle. I think she has gotten pretty popular though.

Remembered another obscure one. I saw Henry Rollins spoken word performance at the Sydney Opera House a few years ago.

It was very interesting. My Aussie mate I went with wanted to know my thoughts about Rollins comments on Trump. Rollins didn't have full blown TDS but had a good bit of it.

Id love to see a rollins spoken word show. Really cool.

I've been to the 30 foot fall Christmas show on several occasions. Surely there are one or two folks that did that in their younger days.

Another funny thing I remember from working a show, it was judas priest and slayer and I cant recall who else, but dimebag Darrell showed up in an old beat up limo and it was the funniest thing ever to me at the time. He was killed a few months later which was actually 19 years ago yesterday.

Luis Miguel in Vegas.

On Dies y Seis, no less!

I saw the Commodores at G Rollie in 1980

Milli Vanilli

I hadn't listened to them in YEARS (Erasure) but came across a live youtube video recently by accident and shocked by how good Andy Bell still sounded. Dude still has it.

Anyone else seen Barenaked Ladies?

Toadies is playing Texas this month. Austin, Houston, San Antonio.

I saw Weezer right after Rivers got out of Harvard.

They played like 3 songs from the Green album, almost the entire Pinkerton album, and half the Blue album, at what was then Verizon.

The encore was Buddy Holly, and they dropped confetti on us right at the very short guitar solo in the middle. Was my favorite concert. They pretty much suck now.

I went to that little restaurant in College Station on Texas Avenue in the same parking lot as the old Ace's Hardware around 2004. Not sure what is there now, but nothing lasts long. Anyways, we went to see Corey Morrow, and he brought a guy name Gary Allen who was not a huge name at the time. Venue was like 80 people max. Was a fun concert. I remember thinking that Allen was better than Morrow.

Weirdest concert was Moby Play. Was at Verizon theatre. I think 1998? All seats were at round white linen tables facing the stage, and wine was recommended, and, if I recall, a cheese plate. Was an interesting concert to say the least.

Sylvia - Nobody
Fulshear, Tx
Back in 1983

In 1992, I saw The Dixie Chicks with a brunette singer and guitarist Robin Lynn Macy before they brought in Natalie Maines. ("Am I on AM radio? Love you!")
They opened up with Dionne Warwick in Plano, I believe?

The Kinks
Warren Zevon
Billy Idol
Dirty River Boys
Postmodern Jukebox

Ministry at Numbers a couple of times and then at Lollapalooza

Book of Love in a small club in Abilene in 1986

Gary Allen had multiple hits and was all over the radio in 2004, maybe he just made an appearance at a small venue, but he was established.
