We grow old because we stop playing."
"I wish that my playing reminded people of Steve Gadd. But they seem to confuse me with his little known cousin... E."
"Snare drums happen."
I can't remember all the bands I've seen but some of the bands with 'name' drummers I've seen Emerson Lake and Palmer, James Taylor with Steve Gadd, Jeff Hamilton with the DePaul Univ Big Band, Chicago (Danny Seraphine), Elton John (Nigel Olsen).

My age and musical tastes are such that the first band I ever saw in concert was Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention in 1969 or 70, and the last band I saw was Lake Street Dive just last month. Must have seen at least 100 shows in between. Wish I could remember them all...
Surprisingly good. Double Vision with the dueling drums was tight.
Page/Plant was the best show that I ever been to. 6th row at Market Square Arena in Indy. It was phenomenal! I hope they do it one more time.
Pink Floyd I saw at the Horseshoe here in Columbus. Experience wasn't that great, too far back.

If I can score AC/DC tickets on friday, I'll be able to add them to my "later this year list". They're going to sell out no question about it. Gonna be a HUGE concert at the football stadium. Investors group field. I'm going to Def Leppard on april 29, and The Who in october.
Soft Machine, Hendrix, Cream & Blind Faith...so long ago.
SONOR 6 pc Special Edition 3007's red maple, old Pearl Brass 14x6 FF snare, Yamaha Tour Custom maple 8 pc., Tama 4 pc., honey amber B/B, Ludwig Supralite chrome 14x6.5 steel snare, Paiste, Saluda & Zildjianhttp://www.facebook.com/DerailedRockers/
Loaned out Slingerland upgraded 4 pc 1963 black, wrapped maple + 14" Pearl birch FT
Too many to list but most of the bands I saw live where in the late 60',70'and early 80's. Today I will go to any concert that has the bands of my era, reason for that is to have the last chance to see them again before they go.
Dead people
Signature here
Of all those long lists I am surprised nobody mentioned The Tubes.
I saw them twice in 1979 and '81 I believe, stadium shows, huge production, costumes, dancers, and naked girls too.
They were famous for their live stage shows.
