I love music and almost any kind. NO GANGSTA RAP!!! My most favorite would probably be what is classified as Classic Rock.

TWO thumbs UP Brother 8-) Doobie Brothers are awesome...they were my first concert WAY back in 1977, Memphis Tennesee! AH YES...brings back a LOT of memories (not that I can remember BACK that far plus the late 70's were a BLUR...ya know, Navy days, haze grey and underway)!

The Rolling Stones. We saw the boys do the opener at Reliant Stadium in Houston. "Sympathy for the Devil" was unreal.

Next in line was J. J. Cale back in the 70's in downtown Denver......a club at 17th and Champa. Oh so good....he played with Katie Moffit.

But during the day.....cruising in my work truck....I listen to classical on NPR.

"Classic Rock" covers it for me as well. The Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. The Who are my favorite.

I do like some of the contemporary music and a little hip-hop that's on now but I prefer 70's. It's all about the generation. :wink: Also, good dance music, Motown and R&B.

I love listening also to classical pieces and other groups or people with great voices like Andre Bocelli and Il Divo that sends chills down my spine.

I've seen in concert Genesis, The Who, Billy Joel, Elton John, Doobie Brothers, Don Henley, Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, Andre Bocelli, Il Divo, Barry Manilow, Clay Aiken, Michael Bolton, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffet. My taste does run from one extreme to the other!

I'm not even going to try and name all the concerts I've seen(and I haven't been to one in 25 years or more. One of the last ones I saw besides the Moody Blues was The Who and they did the entire rock opera "Tommy".(That was a night in heaven!!) The reason I will not try to mention all the concerts is because I was "house manager" for one of two venues in Houston 1971-72, so I had many "working nights" at everything from the Rolling Stones on down to some of Houston's local bands during that time. O the stories I could tell!!! :double: :double:

How about a party at my house after the Grateful Dead concert. 2 of the band members showed up.

During the Emerson, Lake and Palmer concert I tried to throw Kieth Emerson out because I thought he was an impersonator(We had been told to look out for them)he didn't have his backstage id on.

Kris Kristofferson took a couple of my towels.

A 30 minute private concert with Elton John(basically a sound check but we had to sit and watch and listen while they did it and it was Elton doing it) He handed me some towels and coke cans to throw to the adoring fans before he left the stage.

George Carlin smoked in my car while on the way to his gig at the University of Houston. I was laughing so hard on the way to the airport that I thought I was going to wreck. He truly was hilarious.

Carrying Sly Stone onto the stage for his concert(2 hours late)and having to stay on the stage the whole concert to protect him from overzealous fans and to make sure he didn't fall off(yes he was that wasted).

There is more, but to say the least it was an incredible year(actually a couple of years with freebies thrown in from friends). I was asked to tour with Lynard Skynard as a roadie, but chose to stay married to my wife instead. We were newly married. Thank goodness I didn't do it because I would have been on the plane when it crashed. My stage manager became Lynard Skynard's stage manager, that is why I was asked.

OMG!! You must've been sick when that happened.

What stories and memories David! I'm truly jealous.

The fact that Sly Stone even showed up is a miracle. Marty had gone to one of their concerts in Philadelphia. I think that he said that they were like an hour and a half late and then played for only 20 minutes.

I found out years later that the stage manager was on the plane and he was one of the survivors. He went on to work for Pace Concerts and others as a VP, etc. Last time I saw him was at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He was running the whole show!! In fact that is when I found out he was on the plane.

Aeredale.


I was an ET who worked in the engineering plant of the CVN-70.

I saw Billy Idol (when I was homeported at NAS Alameda) near a P-3 base between SF and San Jose. I know there was a P-3 base nearby because I saw several at low altitude.

For some reason, 60s and 70s reggae, and both the original 50s/60s Jamaican ska and the 1970s UK ska revival is some of my favorite. I saw 'Fishbone' in SF back in the '80s. I thought 'The Mighty Bosstones' and 'No Doubt' would usher in an American age of ska, but I was wrong.

There are too many types of music that I listen to. So, in order to serve my listening needs (pointless plug warning) - I opened an account at http://www.pandora.com and threw in some groups I like to listen to and they built me my very own personal radio station. No commericals at all. If something comes up I'm not fond of, I give it a thumbs dows, they take it out and move onto the next song. If its something I really like, I give it up a thumbs up and they go out and find more of that type of song or music. Its a great little project on the internet. Too bad its blocked at work because otherwise I would listen to it all day long.
