pardon

I’ve been listening to some music from my youth lately and this has brought back very fond memories of all the bands I have seen live in concert.

It’s some list:

AC/DC

Alice Cooper

Billy Joel

Black Sabbath

Bruce Springsteen

The Cult

Dire Straits

Gillan

Iron Maiden

Journey

Judas Priest

Motorhead

Ozzy Osbourne

The Rolling Stones
Status Quo
U2

Whitesnake

I’m sure there are more that for various reasons I can no longer remember, but I’m often asked who was the best live act I’ve seen.  And in answer to that question there can be only one band who surpassed all others in their live performances, and that band was Queen.

I saw Queen in concert a total of 6 times but the first time sticks in my memory as the best live show I have ever seen.  Not only was it my first ever experience of a live band, but it was without doubt the loudest and most rib cage shaking ear splitting experience of my life.  I went with my sister and we were only about 10 yards from the stage.  I’m not exaggerating when I say that it took a week for my hearing to recover and the ringing in my ears to dissipate.

So as I grow ever older and my senses continue to fade, I can look back and at least have happy memories surrounding my impending deafness.
