Dregg13's Concert Archive

Starting when I was 8 1/2 I saw KISS, all 4 original members still in makeup. That set me on a life long quest. I love live music!!! So many live shows at bars/clubs I cant even remember them all.

Live Aid remains one of the most well-known benefit concerts in history. Organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure as a fund-raising campaign for famine relief in Ethiopia, the event took place in both Philadelphia and London. It was telecast globally with related concerts in several other countries. In Philadelphia, several bands reunited for rare appearances, including the original three members of Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys with Brian Wilson, Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.

That must have been amazing ! How close did you get to the performers ? And was Tom Petty as cool as I imagined ?


Gary Lazar Sep 07, 2022

I was there and Joan Baez was the first act. You didn't list her as playing.


Francis Ward Oct 17, 2021

Tickets were $35 bucks, got there at little after 7AM. hot as hell day, enjoyed listening to many bands I'd only dream of ever seeing live. Too bad i didn't have a camera or Camcorder at the time.
