No really they were the best (I) have ever seen in a live show!! All the times I have seen them! Which at this moment I am not sure how many that has been.

But (besides) them some of my fav. shows were:

Scorpions= 1990 or 91, not sure, "Crazy World" tour i know that much..

Cinderella= both times I seen them were AWESOME!!
Megadeth= seen 2ce.. wow what shows,, I love Dave!!:Spin: Yes he was a nice guy too.. (just wouldn't want to piss him off..hehe )

5..Symx hehehehe!!

For me too! Concerts I've been to since around 1969 are too many to even mention, but I'll just say that none ever compared to Symphony X shows. Best was Obsessions NiteClub New Jersey Sept. 9, 2001. I'll never forget it. A couple memorable shows were Black Sabbath's first America tour (I sat behind the speaker cab and smoked cigs with Ozzy who was a nervous wreck, between his singing parts and told him "You're doing really good!"), also Uriah Heep early days tours, Tull's Thick as a Brick tour, McCartney and Wings, Floyd in '72....many shows I don't even remember. Well it WAS the 70's I thank God I survived those times.
blah, blah, blah......

 

[LoneWolfMusic]

Whoa, Smoked cigs with Oz ??? Thats cool.

I drank a beer with jason Bonham one time. I am a huge Zep fan so it was real cool to talk to his son. That was cool. I also met ALL the members of DT at Met 2000 show. My Met 2000 tourbook is signed by ALL members of DT.

Pharoh, tell us more baout your cool shows in the 70's. Did you ever see L Zeppelin?

PS, Your gonna love Divine Ruins!
