Re: Best Live Music Performance
Aerosmith & Jimmy Buffet were fantastic live.
Also saw Clapton play in the Dean Dome. That was an amazing show.

The most beautiful piece of music I've heard was Widespread Panic in Asheville on 11/9/13. Nicky Sanders of the Steep Canyon Rangers sat in on fiddle for Driving Song > Maggot Brain (Parliament cover) > Driving Song:

And we stood outside in the cold for hours waiting to get in. I was wondering if anyone would bring this up. Awful night.scatman77 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 12:25 pmAnother one from the opposite end of the spectrum.
Winter of 73-74 (don’t remember the date) Seals and Croft got delayed hours by a blizzard. After buying tickets and waiting hours they finally played....about 45 minutes and left. England Dan and John Ford Coley played before them. The natives were angry that night, my friend.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
Not the greatest concert, but my favorite band to see live is Three Days Grace. Love their energy. Also enjoy Avenged Sevenfold live.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
Both Jimmy Buffett and Aerosmith show that they enjoy playing live. I’ve seen both multiple times (even the short Buffett show in Charlotte where he left because he got hit by a beer bottle).HighPointApp wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 1:11 pmAerosmith & Jimmy Buffet were fantastic live.

And as much as I dispise all things CHeat, I have to admit that the acoustics in the Dean Dome are as good as I’ve heard anywhere.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
They will end up like the touring big bands that started in the 40s. Some of those bands are on their 3rd generation of musicians. Nothing wrong with that if they play good enough to honor the history.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 9:39 amThey played Legends again in ‘03 or ‘04, great show.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 6:33 pmThe Wailers of Bob Marley fame played at Legends in 88 or 89. That was the best live performance I saw in Boone.
Obviously the band at that time was not what it was while Bob Marley was alive and even earlier when Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were involved but still some good reggae, which is not the most common sound in the mountains of North Carolina.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Liquid Pleasure...Maybe just a good buzz...right girl, but always had a great time EVERY time I got my groove on with Liquid Pleasure. Spin Doctors were fun and did anyone happen to see the "Black Crows" in Boone with about 30 people in attendance before they hit it big a couple months later.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
I used to dig a couple of their songs, they seem like they would blow out a good live set. Maybe he is right above, I may have just heard them too much growing up.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 10:32 amTo each his own for sure. What made it a great show was the set. They played their hits and then played the entire album in order with a huge pipe organ that was used for some of the parts. It was in the Dean Dome which has fantastic acoustics.scatman77 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 10:27 amI'm the same way. It's not that they're not good, I just heard them over the years so often, over and over and over and I too change the station.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 9:36 amI’m a huge classic rock fan, but personally can’t stand Boston. I instantly change the station when the come on. I’m really not sure why I despise them so much.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
Clapton? Instantly jealous. I used to have the Double Door Inn in Charlotte as a client and imagined how awesome it would’ve been to see Clapton play an impromptu show there like he did.HighPointApp wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 1:11 pmAerosmith & Jimmy Buffet were fantastic live.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
Did anyone go to August Jam in August 1974? I was 2 weeks from starting freshman year at App. My buds and I decided to go. No tickets. The concert featured The Allman Brothers Band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, PFM, Grinderswitch. It was the largest concert ever held in the state of North Carolina and one of the largest in the U.S. at that time, with an estimated attendance in excess of 300,000 (from Wikipedia). We were scared shitless when we got there and decided to leave—and suddenly everyone started crashing the gates, so we did too. The ELP set was amazing. I kept my August Jam tee shirt for 30 years lol. Not sure how we made it out alive!

Re: Best Live Music Performance
I was at the August Jam too! Like you I had just graduated from high school and was just months away from joining the Air Force. I had just bought a Gold 1970 Chevrolet Malibu with mag wheels/hubcaps. Like a naive teenager, I didn't remove the hubcaps before leaving home/Boone. Therefore, someone gladly took them sometime during the Jam. LOLwncapp78 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 12:22 amDid anyone go to August Jam in August 1974?

Also, being young men, all we thought to bring with us was a cooler or two full of beer, etc. (no food, no water, no sunscreen, etc.) Sometimes we learn life's lessons the hard way. LOL

Re: Best Live Music Performance
If you caught the Charlotte show on that tour, I was there too. Beforehand I knew that Freddy Mercury was considered an all-time great frontman, and he did not disapoint, but I had no idea that Brian May was such an amazing guitarist. Awesome performance.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
I'm 29, bear with me.
Rush 40 Tour Greensboro 2015 (probably their last tour)
Coheed and Cambria (any and every show they play)
Snarky Puppy @ Boone Saloon twice a year from the mid-2000's to ~2013. (seen them elsewhere and their best shows are always in Boone)
John Mayor where the light is tour. Too popular for most of you to agree, but listen to the man play guitar. He's the best blues player since Stevie Ray Vaughn. Wish I'd seen him with the Dead.
