Which bands / solo artists have you seen in concert - do you think any of the artists would still be recognised in 30 - 50 years time, and would your kids / grandkids be impressed that you went to the concert?
(Whilst on the topic, anyone know anyone who saw The Beatles or Elvis in concert?)
I’ve seen quite a few concerts:
Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, Scorpions, Twisted Sister, Our Lady Peace, Lenny Kravitz, Aersomith, Danko Jones, going to see Bon Jovi, and some of the bigger names will deffinetly be remembered within the next 30 years, and if your kids/grandkids are really into music, they might actually be impressed that you went to the concert of an amazing rockstar who they can no longer see live.
The best concert i have been to is Arctic Monkeys!
It was such an amazing gig
but my grandkids probs wont know who they are

I’ve seen a few…Primus, Incubus, RHCP. Most probablu won’t be remembered except by those who had an emotionally attachment i.e. a song that got them through a difficult time. Do you care what concerts your parents went to (with the exception of Woodstock). Don’t think I know anyone who saw Elvis.

I’ve seen Massive Attack, Zappa Plays Zappa, Zakir Hussein and John McLaughlin, Jethro Tull, Goldfrapp, and I can’t remember any of the others. To be honest, I’d like to think that my children knew these artists, especially McLaughlin, Jethro Tull and Zappa. However, I wouldn’t know since I’m unlikely to have children. Also most of these artists are real musicians, and there seems to be too little real music being appreciated in the mainstream nowadays. I’d like to think things will change, but I doubt it.
I know a couple of people who saw The Beatles, but not Elvis… =oD

Depends what part of a scene they were…

Many rock bands are still touring, have been for 30 - 40 years, bands such as Black Sabbath (Heaven and Hell), Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, Motorhead, Whitesnake etc etc. Nazareth will be selebrating their 40th anniversary next year and tour constantly.
