The "I was there" thread

I can't find any video of the show I went to but I found this clip of the group. It was called "A Band Of Gypsys". The guitar player was pretty good.

My parents saw Hendrix back in 68 or 69. I asked them what it was like to see him live and neither of them remember the show; apparently it was hard to see the stage at times through all the pot smoke.
 
Cynic at Hellfest 2007, first show on the reunion tour. I was lucky enough to tape the (probably) first public performance of Evolutionary Sleeper, I think the solo here is better than what ended up on the album version

from that show I also taped :
Veil of Maya
Celestial Voyage
Uroboric Forms
...I'm But A Wave to

Some other clips from that festival
Amon Amarth - Runes to My Memory


Misery Index - The Great Depression


Korpiklaani - Wooden Pints


I've seen Sabaton 3 out of the 4 times they came to Israel, tape these from the 1st show:








and still lough every time I see this from the 2nd show (2nd I've attended, 3rd overall):


Saw Bumblefoot twice when he came to Israel, once with black metal pioneers Salem:


and once when he performed with Yossi Sassi, here a clip of Sweet Child 'o Mine's solo that I taped on that show:


Also tons of other local metal acts, some on taped by me, other by other fans or by the artists themselves.
 
Not only was I at this Grateful Dead Concert, New Years Eve 1987, which was subsequently released under the title "Ticket To New Years", but I can be seen in the video, middle of the screen, right next to the guy holding a girl, (I have no facial hair), dancing after the Dead came back at midnight and started playing "Hell in a Bucket"...many many years ago Right about 3:43...

Mine too. I'd never seen him before -- barely even heard of him -- and I was blown away.

At that time he was HUUUGE over here in Euroland, for very good reason.

Always annoyed me how I was a few years too young to catch those Monsters of Rock shows. What incredible lineups they had. :embarrassed:
 
My first real memorable one was the first Maiden show I saw. Not their best album, and no Adrian Smith - but still something that sticks.

Testament opened with a bloody awesome set. Skolnick a marvellous guitar player, obviously still is.
