I agree about Accept even today without Udo they are damn good. Hell Fast as a Shark all but kicked off Speed Metal.

Yeah they still sound great, and I like Tornillo’s voice a lot. He’s got some similarities to Udo for sure. Hoping to catch them somewhere. And speaking of Udo. He’s doing one “final” leg of a tour with Dirkschneider playing all Accept material. In Jax this Friday night. If time allows me to get back up there for a couple of days I’ll be there for sure!!

KISS (first concert 1977), Alice Cooper, Nine Inch Nails, Tool, The Cure (5 times), Depeche Mode (3 times), Jane's Addiction, Primus, Gwar, REM (at the Bayou), Rage, Violent Femmes (VFW hall), Chili Peppers (LSU Ballroom and NOLA twice)), Bad Brains (Tip's), The Cramps, Gene Loves Jezebel, Social Distortion, Butthole Surfers, Husker Du, The Bears(Adrian Belew), James Brown, Pearl Jam, The Cult, Pixies (Varsity and Southside Ballroom), David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Parliament-Funkadelic, Smashing Pumpkins, Van Halen, Ted Nugent,No Doubt, Sonic Youth, L7, Burning Spear ......I can go on and on and on. I've seen thousands of shows.

Warren Zevon at the Varsity a couple of times before he got popular again. The first show was sparsely attended and it was easy to watch from 15 feet away.

Little Feat's first concert after the death of Lowell George. On the River Boat President for Jazz Fest. Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Buffett, Ed Bradley played with the band. Just pure high energy from start to finish.

The ones I mention the most.
Black Sabbath and Van Halen Houston 1978. My first concert.
New Order Austin 1983.
Daft Punk at Red Rocks, Denver. 2007

Corrosion of Conformity at the Varsity 1991...

Retarded Elf at the Bayou 1991...

Psyclone Rangers...the Bayou


Billy Goat at the Bayou..


Royal Crescent Mob at the old Leo's Roller Rink...


Red Hot Chili Peppers tee from the LSU Ballroom show...


Dash tee...



Bouffant Jellyfish...the Bayou


Gal's Panic...the Bayou...

I've never heard of most of these bands but the shirts are pretty cool.

nice shirts and ability to hang on to said shirts.

forgot about Love Battery ... good band as i recall.

i don't know if i brag... but i do tell people that KISS put on the best live shows. And that Kid Rock draws a more diverse crown than anyone i have seen.
