Marko, you're a youngster ......

Alice Cooper, Welcome to My Nightmare tour, Providence Civic Center, July 16 1975 .....

Ok, you have a few on me. The Cooper concert must have been great. That was the height of his popularity. I've gone to a few at the Civic Center myself. I can still remeber the hue of haze over the audience. Those were the days!!!

Hi Marko,

The Alice Cooper concert was one-of-a-kind, but this same show was put on DVD (shot in England) and it's worth a viewing if you can get your hands on it.

Also, the Aerosmith concerts each summer at the Civic Center in the mid 70's really rocked. $4.50 general admission. This was probably before they had a real national rep, but they could sure fill Providence for 3 straight nights each summer.

I went to the last show of Tool's west coast tour with King Crimson. Pretty much one of the greatest nights of my life. So incredible to watch those artists work off of each other...

It's hard to say which was the best. Sometimes we get a little too wiped out to know. Guns 'n' Roses, Faith No More, and Metallica, for instance...I only remember a moment here or there. Same with Floyd in the eighties...it's a shame to get so fucked up that you only remember a few songs.
