re: Best live rock concerts you've seen?

The best concert I have ever been to was Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville, AL in 1995.

The price barricades were torn down at some point and by the time Skynyrd played we had made our way to about 20 meters in front of the stage.

About the third song in, Van Zant calls Hank back up on stage, which he must never do, because it took like 10 minutes. When Hank finally arrives he is clearly drunk (and uninterested in doing this) and literally dragging his guitar by the bridge along the ground. This was like an hour after his set had ended.

There were about 10 of us in the group, we all had like 5 fatties rolled up in our pockets. When Ooh That Smell fired up, all of south Huntsville got a contact high.

Later at a gas station, me and a buddy start talking to these girls and one of them remembered seeing me there ( ). We show up to the post concert party with a carload full of girls and I wound up tapping her that night (which never happened to me BTW).


Awesome night. Could be a movie.
