What bands have you seen live?

[sicndhed]

Sic ... I see how you got your name. You went to see Alice Cooper and Andy Williams....that is like throwing a choclate bar into a bowl of chili.

You are correct. The name is from liking things that usually don't go together.

Seeing Andy Williams was driven by a request to take my Mother-In -Law. BUT, Andy (RIP) could really sing. In his later years he looked like a strong wing could throw him off the stage but then he would belt out a song like he was in his twenties.

Will have to think about that for a minute but it started with Woodstock

[Jim and Jutta]

Been to several of them over the years, the last one was Crosby, Stills & Nash at an out door concert at a winery here in Washington a few months ago. It was a great concert but there was friction with the crowd when one of them went on a political rant and tried getting everyone in the crowd to stand up and chant against what our military was doing and war. I don't think they realize probably 30% of the crowd were Vets or active duty military families. They got frustrate when only a few joined them and some in the crowd actually yelled for them to just sing. One of the band members said he thought people in Seattle were more with it, or something to that effect. Had they left out the political rants it would have been more enjoyable.

It's difficult to beat that!
