I probably forgot a few along the way, and there are a number of local bands and music performers that I've seen, but I'm happy to have seen so much live music on a limited budget over the course of my life.

And then there's my collection of 1500 vinyl record albums, 800 audio cassette tapes, and 2000 or so audio CD's for many more acts I wish I could have seen live.

It's all good.

HA! Too funny! I may have to use this on my friends who have sent these types of lists out. Brilliant!

Alright class, read the instructions carefully. 20 of the bands I have seen. 1 I have NOT seen. You are supposed to try to guess the band I have NOT seen

Surprisingly, Mario's answer is the closest so far!

Ha! No prize Who do you think I am, PG Music?

When I look at that list, the one that is not like the others seems to be Justin Bieber. That's my guess based on nothing else.

Great guess! HOWEVER, we can eliminate it because I have, in fact, seen a JB concert. We brought two of my daughters to see him at his very first concert ever! So strange...tickets were $10 each, and parents got in free!

1 down 20 possibilities left. Well, technically still 21 if someone would guess JB again

Others can make their lists as well, just make sure to include an act you haven't seen.

Ez peasy : The Monkees

Good guess...but, I actually saw The Monkees with Gary Pucket and the Union Gap, The Grass Roots, and Herman's Hermits.

Could it be Justin?

Nope. It's still not Justin

Sorry, didn't see that post about JB.
Chick Corea?

Another good guess! I have seen CC many times years ago. Not within the last 15 or so years though. I know one of his drummers fairly well.

I will give a hint. It would probably surprise many that I haven't seen this person (hint) in concert, given many of my comments on the forums.

Billy?

Saw Billy too! I would think, being you play keys, if you haven't seen him, you should. Really great show all the way around. Great personality too!

Depeche Mode doesnt seem to fit your tastes.

Hi
Ive waited for ever and on Sunday coming Im going to see Roger Hodgson of Supertramp,cant wait fantastic,just think hes brilliant,
Hugh

I'm actually a production junky...also used to do a lot of light programming. I'm not going to say I love all of the bands music, but did see them live. The lights were amazing for that time.

Great guess though!

Very cool! It's awesome to think you get to do that! Live it up!

Johnny Cash? Is it Johnny Cash?

If not then it must have been me

I saw Cash. I was pretty young, but it left an impression on me for sure!

Luke Bryan - he and JB are the only 21st century artists on your list....

Ha! You nailed it! Great detective work!

It hasn't worked out for me to go see his concert yet (some of you would consider that a blessing, I'm sure) but I'm hoping to go this summer.

Mark me impressed!

Give Charlie a prize!

My list is almost all jazz:
Chick Corea
Herbie Hancock
John Coltrane
Sonny Rollins
Sonny Stitt
Earth, Wind and Fire
Al Jarreau
Tony Williams Lifetime
Miles Davis
Nancy Wilson
Diane Reeve
Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra
Stan Kenton
The Jazz Messengers
Roy Hargrove
Michael Brecker
Gary Burton-Makoto Ozone
Steve Wilson
Carmen McRae
Clark Terry
Freddie Hubbard
Joey DeFrancesco
Count Basie
Bela Fleck
Victor Wooten
Jimmy Smith

I read them but I don't play by the rules and never play those FaceBook games and quizzes. Not even here.... but I'm down for posting a list of who I've seen because it's fun just trying to remember all the shows through the decades.

What Herb said!

Luke Bryan?
Luke Bryan who?

NOPE!



And that's what I had posted.

You never playing those games sounds like a self imposed rule. You really should have broken it then

I believe this is the first time I have ever done one. I didn't even do it on facebook! I thought it could be fun here, because I was hoping it would carry on a bit better here with us all being big fans of music. I like learning things about the people I interact with...and I guess did.




Agreed, and that's been done here before so I was looking to do something a little different by actually having people find out about each other and REALLY actually look at the list.

Oh well. This went almost nowhere. LOL

It was interesting how I hadn't seen this on Facebook until after you posted it here, and now I've seen 15 or 20 folks doing it on Facebook.

I'll do 20.

The Beatles
ELO
Earth Wind and Fire
Average White Band
James Brown
The Temptations
The Supreme
Todd Rundgren/Utopia
The Tubes
The Who
The Rolling Stones
Genesis
Alice Cooper
Linda Ronstadt
Dixie Chicks
Chicago
Bruce Springsteen
Boston
Yes
Emerson Lake & Palmer
Stevie Wonder
Tower of Power

That's 22. The list is much, much longer, and many of those listed I have seen more than once. I have seen Todd at least 40 times over decades. I was at the shows that were used on Back To The Bars.

Some of them go back to a time when a concert was $5. When I was in the Army in Oklahoma, which makes it 1973, there was a show in OKC that was The Band, Buddy Miles, Deep Purple and Santana. The tickets were

EIGHT DOLLARS!

What's Facebook

How did I get here?

I remember I was going to search for...what was it?...Ok, I remember watching a video about the space shuttle, how to patch a leak in the ceiling, "13 amazing things you can order on Amazon"...was there a dog video?...anyway, what were we talking about?

Yea...... You guys are getting off track..... The prize. The prize....

Even if it's just a free subscription to Facebook!

I award you one interwebs
Enjoy!

There you go. A slang word is better than no word at all.....

I'm at peace....

It's not that I have a self imposed rule or hate games..... but the majority of games on FB want access to your data and history, pictures, messages, etc, etc....

The ones that ask you to copy and paste have their pitfalls too..... it provides a quick way for someone to find you with a quick search of the copied and pasted words....

But mainly, I don't have the time. I'm either here, or in one of the dog training or prepping forums reading the buffoonery or contributing to it.

Ok, but this did none of the above.



I'm thinking it would have taken less time to guess a band/artist from the list than to respond a few times about how you don't have time for this type of thing

Herb, I respect you, I would think you know that. I seriously NEVER take part in games on facebook. I'm on it for professional reasons, and that's about it.

This was something I saw as different. There was no click bait. There was no "cut and paste." I thought it would be an interesting and funny look into our fellow forumites lives. I was hoping others would post there's as well. It makes you think a bit more about the person behind the screen, in my opinion.

Your comments seemed a bit more about being against it because that's "just the way you are"...paraphrasing. It's almost a bit troll-ish in my opinion. Not in a big way, but slightly.

It's all fine and good. No harm, no foul...never understood that really, but I get the idea. It just surprised me a bit I guess.

I try my best to learn from situations. This is no different. Life is good

Enjoy the weekend and those dogs of yours. That's impressive work you are doing there my friend! We just rescued a puppy two months ago...it's been interesting. You and Charlie could probably give a TON of insight in to the "do's and don't's!"

Of course there is a prize for Charlie! It just takes a bit to get something THIS great together to be appropriately fitting.

Charlie, "there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So you'll have that goin' for you...which is nice.

I'm betting some wish they would have taken this little contest a BIT more seriously now.

(I have no idea why that doesn't display differently than just a link)

I got my prize from Bob (Rharv) - Fully sanctioned and functional version of a current slang word. All is good in my world.


BTW; the icon to insert a link is found in the full reply mode and is the 2nd icon from the left on the toolbar. Perfect link insertion every time.

You should give us an update every so often on who's winning the "who's training who" sessions with your pup...

Charlie

The Facebook Response to everyone doing this:

Ha! Fair enough.




Yup, I am familiar with that one. I was trying to post a youtube video, but the video doesn't show as anything more than a link. I used the 5th from the right icon to do it. It's hit or miss with me.



We are DEFINITELY working on the "people training" part

Thanks Charlie!

Ha! I hear ya. That's probably as annoying as people that continue to use that meme

I'm glad you took the time to contribute that to the thread. First class man, first class.
