Best concert I have ever been too
« on: June 14, 2009, 07:51:05 AM »
Last night the wife, daughter and I went to our local House of Blues to hear "country rapper" Colt Ford. Without a doubt in my 46 years, this was the best damn concert I have ever been to. Along with the opening band Southern Blue, Colt Ford and his band ROCKED the house. The place was elbow to elbow.  If you ever get a chance to go see him it would be well worth the money. If you aren't familiar with his music here are a couple of
samples.










Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

If you like Colt Ford you might like the Moonshine Bandits

Jethro Tull ~1975.  I think I still have a buzz going from that one.

Hopefully David is doing better. When he was here during Harley week he sat on a stool the whole concert and had to be assisted off the stage. I understand from a friend of mine who knows him it was due to a pretty bad back injury. All in all he still puts on a hell of a concert.

That was like the time Robmeister and I saw Bo Diddly play with The Railbenders in Denver.  Bo had to sit down the whole time, but still rocked!

I saw Jimi Hendrix 3 times in Dallas.  Those concerts would be 1, 2, and 3 in my pecking order.

back in the late 80's I used to go watch Stevie Ray Vaughn at Antone's in Austin. He'd play 4 nights a week. Wow was he something.

Ha, ha . . . Us forties and fifties geezers rule!  We got to see the Rolling Stones before they were 70-something.

Hands down would be Genesis ~ 1983.  The light show was worth the price of admission.

Probably 1999 Rancid on the Warped Tour in Little Rock, Arkansas.  I don't go to a ton of concerts, generally they are expensive and too crowded.  I enjoyed seeing "Sick of it All" in Dallas 07 too.

old school hardcore. awesome!


My best show was either Misery Signals in 2005 or The Acacia Strain in 2006. Those shows were NUTS.
