Pissed I didn't get to Woodstock.........although that may have been somewhat impossible.

Not sure why but I didn't go to see Porcupine Tree when they were here a few years back.
Big regret although I did see Steven Wilson last year.

Nirvana - 1992 tour in Australia.

 

[timtamWB]

Brand New shows a couple of months ago where they played their entire discography.

Or Coheed's Neverender shows.

 

[PP34]

Queen at Wembley.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Sunbury 1972 and 1973

 

[RICHOLEGEND12]

Alice in Chains in their prime with Layne Staley.

Rage against the Machine Big Day Out 2008.

And seeing the guy in my profile pic would have been good too.

My sister was at the BDO in 1992. She wasn't exactly "with it", but she still likes to hold it against me every now and again.

I can't believe they played Fisho's on the Gold Coast. That would have been crazy.

You can't imagine someone doing that in Australia these days. Nirvana were so unique, and those Australian shows just sound like such a perfect sole visit for them to have. I remember reading about their show in Canberra. It was at ANU and people, who didn't have tickets, were bringing couches all around the ANU Bar, not to mention the windows apparently smashes from inside such was how packed it got. Apparently they were playing two shows a day as well. The kind of thing that'll never happen again. Nirvana were the first band I ever liked – an odd diet for a three-year old.

But all of those shows would have just been so insane. You can't picture a band like that, being that huge, but having such an agenda and standing for something like that. A heady cocktail.

So those Nirvana gigs would be something you could tell everyone about, and even if they didn't like them, they'd realise what a claim it was

 

[RICHOLEGEND12]

Ah yes, AIC in their prime would have been magic. That said, William DuVall does a fine job and I can't wait to see them again this week. (They were brilliant when I saw them a few years ago.)

I was lucky enough to catch RATM at the BDO in '08. The crowd was pretty shite, but damn Rage were in fine form.

Yeah William Duvall does quite well, I also saw them a few years back and we will be seeing them twice this week, can't wait

Still shattered I missed RATM, I don't think they'll ever come back.

 

[CLUBMEDhurst]

Saw Nirvana at The Palace in '92. They were good, but not a patch on Mudhoney or The Butthole Surfers at The Old Greek Theatre

Sunbury 1972 and 1973

Went to Sunbury 1972. I remember very little of it, which is a good sign. The thing I do remember is that upon entry, everyone was searched for drugs. About three hours into the first night, they worked out that all the harm was being inflicted by people being 'bottled'. From then on, they concentrated on searching for booze. Oh for the days when acid was worth buying. Its undetectability on the person proved to be a huge bonus. I've spent a lot of time in Diggers Rest over the past six years. What is astonishing is that it's almost a suburb now.

My missus went to see Santana across the road, at The Thunderdome, just after this. She reckoned it was up there with The Rolling Stones at Kooyong, in 1973 (three rows from the front - bitch), and much later, Tom Waits at the Palais (which I also got to see).

Nirvana - 1992 tour in Australia.

I went to the Palace show. FWIW I didn't enjoy it.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Loads of metal shows I wish I could have been at in Europe/USA between 70s to early 90s.

During the 70s, I saw Spectrum at the same venue. Among others, they played I'll be Gone, six times. Had they not, they wouldn't have got out of there alive.

Yeah Duvall is good but he's no Layne that's for sure, I'm looking forward to seeing em too. And yeah I saw Rage at that BDO, most revved up BDO crowd I've seen, everyone was losing their shit.

And on topic, Metallica Festival Hall 1989, I was only 8 though ha ha.

Zeppelin at Kooyong 1972 for one I could have gone to - mum wouldn't let me!
Black Sabbath when they first played "Black Sabbath" and changed from Earth.

Hendrix jamming with Cream at the Regent Polytechnic.
