saw Muddy at Park West in about 1981 or 1982?  Sat on his chair and kicked ass big time, one of the best shows i ever saw, it was the Park City blues festival or something...John Lee Hooker opened, BB King closed.

Saw the Stones at Jerryworld in Texas a couple of years ago, worth every penny, and it was a lot of pennys.

 

Im going with Tangerine Dream for lumber and who for elvis.  FOM made agood funny.

ps, i think making a funny is probably the real goal of the game, i prolly made mine too hard.

I saw Thw Who numerous times, the first was 1968 Central Park NYC, cost $2.00

The Who

The Plasmatics

Roy Buchanan

Widespread Panic

weird steve - I guessed muddy before reading that's incorrect.

I'm not sure guessing is really the point?   I dunno, weird game so of course I liked it, interesting looking at lists and thinking about the lie....

I’ve seen Steely Dan a dozen times since 1993.

I saw Pink Floyd in 1987 & 1994 (no Roger Waters of course). 

I missed Stevie Ray Vaughn twice because I was sick & couldn’t go in 1989. I also missed him one more time in 1990. The Dead were playing at Three Rivers Stadium the next day & the friends I went with insisted on leaving the night before. He died in the helicopter crash a little over a month later. 

Nope, I've seen NKOTB a couple of times.
