2009. Steve Earl solo with an acoustic guitar at the old Easy Street Records in Lower QA (RIP). One of the best country artists of the past 40 years rather easily.

    It probably isn’t technically free but Chilifest in Snook, Texas a couple of years ... Pat Green

    This is a great song. Pretty much the vibe of the scene I was describing.

    Linkin Park in Hong Kong. When they did Hybrid Theory it was a borderline religious experience.

    I don't know if this technically qualifies, but I'm going with it...97, in the Bay Area on a recruiting trip, a buddy /coach down there asks me when I am leaving, (that night). I tell him, and he says, "change your flight to tomorrow morning", and leaves the room. I am meeting with his players that I am interested in, in his office. Every hour, he comes back and asks if I have changed my flight. I finally tell him, "I'm not changing it until I know the reason". He drags it out, busting my balls, but he eventually tells me, and I call and change it.

    His kids were doing event security for fundraising, and the chief called to thank him, and, because his kids did such a good job, to invite he and his staff for the last night. One of his assistants couldn't go, so I replaced him, with the stipulation that I could be fucked if they asked for ID, because my name wasn't on the previously submitted roster. We get to the venue, through security, and go in. No ID check, but I was sweating it right to the end.

    We carried catering into the dressing rooms, got to hear the sound checks, all that was left was the passes. The security boss comes up and slaps an O'Doul's wristband on me (I still have it). My buddy asks "What does this do?". She said "you can go anywhere in the building."

    We were on the side of the stage when the opener came out...Pearl Jam, opening for the Stones.

    Best part of it...I called my boss to ask if I could come in an hour late the next day. He said sure, and asked why. There was silence on the other end, because he had worked his ass off to get tickets in our city, and got shut out...tl/dr/csb








    CSB. Third Eye Blind (gay) opened for the Stones when I saw them at the Kingdome in 1997.

    KC and the Sunshine Band. A company I worked for hired them to play at the annual Christmas party one year.

    Blind Melon played a free show at RCKCNDY just before they released their debut album.
    KISW Pain in the Grass concerts at the Mural Amphitheater were great. Sweet Water was probably the best I saw. Every Friday night.

    I thought they'd be huge. I was thinking at the time that they'd give PJ a run for their money.
