my first concert of all was actually memorable ..
Roxy Music on their farewell tour.
Canada's Men Without Hats opened for them .. they were great too.
it was also the last stadium show i ever went to .. i decided there and then that i didnt like the impersonality of a venue like that and since have only been to small venues .. where the musicians can actually see you enjoying their music.
Even Bowie .. who i saw 10 years ago .. played in a very small club here in Toronto . the smallest venue he played on the tour ..
it was awsome - Bowie - 10 - 15 feet away .. 20 feet being the farthest from the stage ..

I would have loved to see Bowie.
House of Blues up north in CHicago is a great venue, it only holds a few hundred peeps.
I was so close to Lemmy I could grab hold of that thing on his face.
The best show I ever saw was Soundgarden at the Aragon Ball Room in CHi town.
Its a pretty kool place, has a very gothic feel to the building with the teracotta falling off the building and all.
THank the Gods they took the chairs out this time, I was at a show there to see Megadeth, years ago and they had metal chairs set up for us to sit on.
I am sorry, you get 2000 earthdogs,hellrats, and rivetheads into one venue to see a speed metal band and then expect them to not throw chairs around is pretty fookin stupid.
