I’m a young guy (33), but my first concert I went to was a Godsmack Acoustic concert in my local town. I was probably around 17 or so. I went there with my girlfriend at the time and was seated close to the nosebleed area.
To make it more memorable, I rolled up a huge blunt to split with the lady friend, needless to say it didn’t get smoked until after the concert.
Where we were seated was about 2 isles away from the walkway and on the walk way had “building guards” trying to keep the order somewhat. Well when the band were starting to set up, you could see people smoking in the lower area. So i pulled out my blunt and went to get it lit, well one of the guards came running over to me to tell me to put that out and there’s no smoking in the building.
I looked at the guy and asked him if he saw the lower desk area, and he said he didn’t care because he was in charge of the area i was sitting in.
Kinda bummed me out but I did get somewhat of a contact high from everyone else. Overall it was a good show but it could have been better.
(edit: sorry for the necro post)

Who has some festivals planned this year? I am going to be buying some tickets for the Del McCoury’s Bluegrass festival in Cumberland, Maryland (Delfest). Meeting some old military buddies there. I’ll bring the smoke!

Lollapalooza. It was 95 or 96. We were sitting on the grass sparking one when some girl got on dudes shoulders, pulled up her shirt and was like “fuck yeah!”. About 10 seconds later some older chick gets on some shoulders and pulled out her titties too. This one biker dude stands up and screams out “Put them fried eggs away bitch!”. The crowd with in ear shot erupted in laughter. They did look like fried eggs. She did put them away.

They are really good, that’s really cool. I like the singers voice, has sort of a likeness to the actual bands songs.

Another for Glastonbury in the early nineties, had a blinding time. Mate and I were there teaching kids to juggle in the kids field so we had back stage passes. Pissed off Lou Reed by bogarting the showers, told him to duck off and come back later, was mistaken for The Frank and Walters band and told to hurry to main stage, lost my nerve for that one and shared my crappy solid with the dark haired girl out of Bananarama .

Glastonbury is sooooooo big and commercial now. Stonehenge free festival in the early 70’s was something else, free food, free music, lots of cops but not enough…until the ‘battle of the bean fields’ crushed the new age travellers on their way to escaping crippling conservatism…
Nowadays, yes it’s happening, Equinox festival in Lincolnshire this September, is the best festival ethos, (along with Cosmic Puffin, Mersea Island charity gig with a hundred bands) IMHO, since the heady days of Stonehenge. Hundreds of folk together sharing the same magic party vibe is what rocks! Tempted by Equinox this year but this Covid malarky is so fucking disruptive.

Always mainly been into the melodic heavy metal,. More like stories rather than yelling. I like a lot of older metal, what everyone calls butt metal lol. Also many others like jazz, funk, psychedelic funk. No thrash metal. Tell you the truth I’m listening to Karen carpenter right now

If I restricted myself to any one genre, sooner or later I’d get bored. My rock n roll came up in the 50’s, early 60’s where the D.J’s would play a fast song, say Little Richard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFFgbc5Vcbwand then a slow song by the Ronettes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG7UXv8Zc5Q and then maybe a drippy chic tune by Lesli Gore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIsnIt1p978 then the “make out” songs “I Only Have Eyes For you” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_urvud-Oi0 or Elvis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_IEho5uedM or just some fun stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FYoYYChb0Y Then rock n roll became too formulaic and you have to fit in a genre and record with producers, engineers and tons of equipment so it all begins to sound like it was manufactured in the same factory. Now I listen to jazz as much as rock n roll.
