[ThirstyDrunk]

kinda sporadic who tours around here, my last gig other tthan friends bands was queens of the stone age in manchester. any of ypu guys living in northern europe where they tour extensively, or, more rarely the US, should try to see dan baird & homemade sin or his other band the yayhoos. (dan was with the georgia satellites years back) I can honestly say I've never seen any act put on a show as enjoyable as theirs

I love live music. I was sitting down to remember all the shows I've been to but after seeing the list I don't fell like writing a wall of text. Let's just hit the highlights.
Major acts and dates as far as my addled brain will recall.

Pink Floyd '88 Miami
Elton John Columbia MD late '90s
.38 Special/ Lynard Skynard II/ Allman Bros. Columbia MD early to mid 90's
Seplatura/Ozzy I think there were others but the recreational pharmaceuticals make it all alittle blurry. York PA mid 90's
Blue Oyster Cult late 90's to early 2000's York PA
Hot Tuna/ Allmans 01 or so Hershey PA
Rod Stewart 05 or so Hershey PA

The Reverend picked another mean sermon on the guitar. The show was awesome, I got so drunk on Jager bombs (blech), Jameson and Bud Lite I blacked out. Woke up in a hookah bar, smelled like they were smoking incense, perfume, and rubber. I remember I had to get out of there and get some fresh air, stumbled over some hippies, and blacked out again.
Woke up wearing a kickass RHH workshirt.
Hell yeah indeed.

I have seen the good Reverend on several occasions. The first was also the first time that I had ever heard of them. They opened for Social Distortion. That was around 1991; the concert was at Bogart's in Cincinnati.

The last concert that I went to was Puscifer.
