In 2001, I saw Prince at the Norva in Norfolk, VA. It holds 1500, 99% SRO, and I was 5-15 feet from him the entire show. Also saw him at Hampton Coliseum (VA) in 1988, but that held 10,000. Both shows were PACKED.

Not sure Cinderella was considered "big" but I saw them at Kenny's as well. They put on an awesome show. that guitar flip thing is cool up close.

Vanilla Ice @ "The Caterie" 2001 I believe.

Crossfade played a few acoustic songs outside where the tables were at College Dr. Hooters early 2000`s. They had a show the next night somewhere. Don`t remember how many guys in the band were there. Didn`t really know who they were at the time. My buddy convinced me to go and obviously, I was interested in just the Hooters.

Saw Puddle of Mudd for some MTV thing outside of Tiger Stadium early 2000s as well. Maybe a couple of thousand people if that.

Also - Saw Velvet Revolver at the Granda Theater in Dallas. Holds maybe 1,000. They were doing some small warm-up shows in advance of a big tour.

Sheryl Crow at the old Roxy in Atlanta

RHCP at some strip mall in Atlanta. Tix weren't available to the public, but I got lucky and won a pair on the radio.

WSP at a shitload of dive bars back in the 80's. Couldn't possibly name them all. I mean, if I knew then what I know now, maybe I would've made a better effort to remember, lol
