I'll offer this one for U2. A point or routine in shows that was usually a talented or good looking dancer from the crowd was Stephanie the Canadian nurse who until that point had only played guitar at home or a high school talent show.
YMMV, but I've thought this is pretty sweet.

I tried to listen to Black Sabbath (War Pig is the song) when I was in junior high. It was a way of declaring yourself anti-social and "dark". But it was all BS. Now seeing Ozzy and his family as just another bunch of pot-bellied wealthy Hollywood celebrity jerks, it makes all that satanic, death-worship shtick look like the money-making crap it really was.
When U2's Joshua Tree came out, our local classic rock station did a poll of listeners to see if they should add it to their rotation, since it wasn't classic. The song In God's Country blew me away, but I never cared for anything else they put out. And that whole "I'm a rock star so only I can save the world" thing always puts me off. Never had the patience for the Dead. Bon Jovi? Pop band for girls. All hair, no music. |

My older brother is a rabid Dead Head, complete with all the secret signs and hand shakes, and even flying to Grateful Dead concerts. He claims that the studio albums "suck" and that the only way to experience the Dead is to attend a live concert. Well, too late for that. I never got into the Dead, probably because I was just a bit too young for the whole hippie scene by a couple of years. In hindsight, I am glad because some, like my brother, seem to be stuck in that time warp and seem to be constantly reliving it instead of grabbing onto the life around them today. Tony

At at least one show, at Portland State Collage (If I remember correctly ha , contradicting myself) Quick Silver Messenger Service opened for them, and honestly I liked them better.
