The first concert I attended was around 1975? It was an Allman Bros concert at the Garden, but maybe my most favorite concert was the Stones at Shea back in the 80's. Since then I have found that concerts have become a drag. I would love to hear about any artists/bands you've seen in concert. Were they famous then? Was it a small venue or large? Who would you like to see in concert that you haven't?
The best have all been outdoors!1) I saw earth, wind, and fire as a kid during a family sunday trip to Aquaduct. Remember they used to have those free concernts???2) Ray Charles a few years before he died at the Planting Fields Arboretum in Northern Long Island. It was the time where he was popular during those "You got the right baby, uh-huh" TV Commercial days. He was well into his 80s I think and could still play the Piano and perform. I remember the lady who was president of the Arboretum gave a big, boring speech saying that she hoped Ray would sing "Georgia on my Mind" for her. That was the only song he did NOT perform that night!3) Numerous performances at the Jones Beach theater inclusing Chicago, Riverdance, and Sarah Brightman. Every year I tell ,my wife we are going again and every summer we just never do it.4) Winsten Marsalles (sp.?) in a Jazz concert, again at the Planting Fields.5) The best was a completely unexpected one. When my daughters were still in strollers and toddlers we went to a Long Island hot air festival. We spent the day, getting alot of handouts from Long Island businesses and playing kid's game. Around dinner time the hot air balloons were launched, and surprisingly there was a concert by the Doobie Brothers who had just gotten back together and were testing the tour waters. We had dinner on the grass listening to the Doobies, watching Hot Air Balloons and holding our daughters as they fell asleep. AT the end of the concert a fireworks display started causing both girls to wake up crying but were soon mesmerized. A day I will never forget.Best I managed to avoid! My wife took my youngest daughter to see Miley Cyrus at Nassau Collesium.Who I would like to see? Probably Bruce Springsteen as his reputation for great Concerts is well known. Still I am not about to pay the price those tickets cost!
Great question!I guess my first was just unforgettable. B.B. King opened for Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company. Anderson Theatre on 2 Ave.Saw a bunch at The Fillmore East, one of the best lineups was Steppenwolf, Quicksilver, and The Grateful Dead. They were all great.The Blues Project at Cafe Au Go Go. I may have lost some hearing that night.For awhile, my buddies and I were going to all the Byrds concerts we could, and they were always fantastic. Back when they had the great Clarence White, Gene Parsons, and Skip Battin on board.Emmylou Harris in a couple of clubs in Manhattan. Emmylou always destroys it. Accompanied by 'The Hot Band' ("accept no subsitutes", as she said).Cream at MSG few years ago. The ticket prices were obscene but, boy am I glad we didn't miss that opportunityMost recently, Steely Dan at Bethel Woods, where the real Woodstock site was. They were fabulous, that was one fun summer night, last year.

Mad Sci Guy - Your post reminded me of an incredible concert I attended at Lincoln Center in the early 80's.Wynton Marsalis was performing with some of the original Duke Ellington orchestra. It was a time when he was coming into his own, and they passed the baton to him in a series of musical exchanges that were incredible. The old timers gave him a good run for his money and teased him as well. Yes, Springsteen gives his all in concert. I saw him three times, but the best was in Oakland in 2000 during the E St Band reunite tour. It was an amazing concert.
8/1/69 at the fillmore ,santana, three dog night, canned heat; november 69, the who in washington,dc
Several R&R shows @ the Brooklyn Paramount in the late 50's or early 60's. I think it was probably the beginning of concert tours, but they still called them "shows". Also, Norah Jones @ Jones Beach, Josh Groban @ Jones Beach & Ray Charles @ Westbury. I almost forgot, About 5 yrs ago I saw Bette Midler @ Radio City. The woman has amazing energy & is such a superb entertainer. I think that's probably my favorite.
Lynyard Skynyrd 19762nd Row Academy of Music on 14th streetI knew nothing about the band except that they sang "Sweet Home Alabama"I was so blown away by the concert I walked away an instant fan.Hearing Free Bird LIVE the very first time I ever heard the song.......PRICELESS
Olivia-Those were great shows at the Brooklyn Paramount-calmer times when you could go down in the Subway at 11 PM at De Kalb and Flatbush Avenues!Lot of Good shows by Murray the K at the Brooklyn Fox Theather!
Alvin lee 10 Years After
Too many to even remember... Fillmore East I saw Cream.. Pink Floyd: The Wall.... I really enjoyed Fleetwood Mac.. Saw Paul McCartney... Elton John/Billy Joel..etc. I could go on forever... Of course nothing topped being at Woodstock... Don' think I'm a geek, but Paul Anka is one of my favorites.. See him every year when he comes to Westbury Music Fair..
Electchester, you just jogged my memory by mentioning, Westbury Music fair. At about 1969 or 1970, Tom Jones was scheduled to appear at the fair to do a concert. I was living in Smithtown at the time. When I arrived home from work my wife had this tale to tell me. It seems that one of my neighbor's girls was out horseback riding with her friend and had fallen off her horse. About the same time, this silver Mercedes pulls up asking if he could help. It was none other than Tom Jones.The other girl led the horses back, but my neighbor's girl got a ride home with Tom. It was summer and my wife was outside when the Mercedes pulled up and Tom and the girl got out. My wife said she almost fainted when she found out it was Tom Jones in the flesh,(every housewifes dream). After a little conversation, a thank you and a kiss on the cheek to both woman and the girl, he said good-by and left. Well, my wife and her girlfriend across the road talked about that for months.
Herb - You saw Janis? That is totally amazing!Electchester - I'm jealous, you saw Cream, and went to Woodstock! No, you are not a geek. jimbo - I loved that story and I still think at his age, that he is hot!
zigzag...it truly was amazing. I feel lucky.jimbo.....great story about Tom Jones. I'm not totally surprised he would help a person out. As big a star as he is, he seems to have a down to earth quality about him.And to answer one of your questions, zigzag, I would love to see Pam Tillis in concert. Anywhere would be fine with me, but given the country music star that she is, it would awesome to see her outdoors, on a hot summer night at a county fair. That's always how I envision it when I listen to her CD's in the car. Perhaps in Tennessee, since one of her greatest hits is "Maybe it was Memphis" (Of course the Tennessee audience would go crazy when she does that number, it's always like that) . We'll do it one of these days.

wow, westbury music fair i forgot all about that. I too, saw Tom Jones perform in concert there. I was a young kid and at the time i went with my father and mom who was a huge tom jones fan. well, i did not want to go but after seeing him perform i loved him i look back at those memories now and I am so grateful to have went to see him with my dad and mom. thanks for bringing back that memory i had not thought of that in years
jo, I've been to the Westbbury Music Fair, several times over the years. I do remember it was a nice place ,and I had a fun time. I just dont remember anyone in particular I saw there, maybe Hermans Hermets ?
I too have been to Westbury music fair, although it is now called "theater at Westbury". I saw Diana Krall for free as my brother sent me tickets when he could not make the trip to NY from SC at the last minute. I also saw Tim Conway playing the part of Felix in the Odd Couple. Also my daughters had numerous dance performances at the place which was always great fun if chaotic.
Mad Sci Guy---Diana Krall, WOW. Love her music. Didn't know she'd been to Westbury. I guess I should pay more attention to their website. I recently became probably her last fan to discover that she's married to Elvis Costello. What an interesting couple.
If you are an Elvis Costello fan, like I am, and happen to have the Sundance Channel in your cable package, don't miss Elvis's weekly show. It's called Spectacle, and the second season recently started. He interviews his musical guests, followed by live performances by the guest, with Elvis and a kick ass back up band. He is actually a really good interviewer, too! www.sundancechannel.com/spectacle/(I love Diana Krall too, and she appeared as a guest on the show last season)

Herb---Thanx for the tip about the show on cable. I don't have Sundance, so I need to check on the monthly fee for it.
Led Zep - 1968 or 69 at the old New York State pavilion at the worlds fair grounds. Lady Gaga at Radio City last week for my 13 years old daughters first concert.
Queenskid,I was at that Led Zep Pavilion concert in August 1969, too. I took some great pictures from the left side of the stage. Do you recall that there was a blackout during "The Lemon Song?" Plant sang the song without any amplification while flashlights were shone on him.Hendrix in May 1968, and The Jeff Beck Group, with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, the following month; both shows were at Bill Graham's Fillmore East, near 6th street.The Stones at Carnegie Hall in June, 1964. I sneaked in through the basement of the Little Carnegie movie theater. What a show, hosted by Murray the K.Animals at the Paramount on Broadway in 1964.The Who and Cream with Mitch Ryder at the R.K.O. 57th st. in early 1967.

We often hear an overarching conspiracy theory these days: Behind-the-curtain actors are trying to engineer some kind of world government.
"They" would include the influential British Royal Institute of International Affairs and its American offspring, the Council on Foreign Relations and Trilateral Commission (Japan invited), the American-European Bilderberg Group, and many international banks and corporations. Various luminaries in these interlocking groups - Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezenski, David Rockefeller - have spoken about the desirability of world government, more or less under the radar, such as this quote from Rockefeller's 2002 book, "Memoirs":
"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure-one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
Can't get much clearer than that. "They" have to operate in secrecy, it is alleged, because a world government can only be erected after a diminution of national sovereignty, and this is already strongly opposed by many voices today - "patriots" here and abroad.
Many on the right fear that a world government could become redistributionist, transferring wealth from the affluent north to the poorer global south generally, especially if climate change prognostications prove out, causing widespread agricultural disruptions, famine and resource wars.
Many on the left fear that a world government would further empower an international capitalist elite-multinational corporations and banks - at the expense of local environmental and labor protections (like Monsanto forcing reluctant nations to accept their genetically modified crops, at the expense of genetic crop diversity).
Limiting future wars would be a desirable function of a world government. Modern warfare is so wasteful, devouring increasingly scarce resources (oil) while often poisoning land and air (Agent Orange, depleted uranium, possible thermonuclear contamination), that we may no longer be able to afford our habit of settling disputes by armed violence. Traditional hunter-gatherer tribes (New Guinea, Amazon, Native Americans) engaged in chronic, nonstop warfare with higher proportional death rates even than our 20th century world wars over the long run. It was only central governments arranged by colonial powers that put an end to the ceaseless cycle of revenge killings, and the natives were grateful for that (see Jared Diamond's latest book, "The World Until Yesterday"). Colonial powers also suppressed slavery (the British in Africa), while exploiting and impoverishing many of their subjects (the British destruction of India's textile industry, and fueling of the opium trade in China).
So a world government, like colonial governments or any kind of government, could do both good and bad. The key requirements, essential for any kind of good government, are transparency and accountability. Wherever it exists, institutionalized secrecy breeds corruption, cronyism, and abuse of power; e.g., the massive frauds in our secretive military-industrial complex and the secretive Federal Reserve bank.
David Rockefeller also said this at 1991 Bilderberg meeting: "The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
Well, David, we have not forgotten that an "intellectual elite" ruling the Soviet Union degenerated into a pampered nomenklatura that impoverished and murdered unarmed millions to keep its grip on power. And the world bankers who gave us the Great Crash of 1929 (and the devastation of WWII that ensued from it), have reprised that disaster with the Great Crash of 2008, and continue to fatten themselves like hogzillas as millions remain mired in austerity as a consequence. I would rather live naked in the desert than under the dictatorship of Goldman-Sachs and company.
So some level of world government might be necessary to remediate certain planetary problems that states alone cannot solve (ocean pollution and decline of fisheries, for example). But it would be foolish to blindly trust the benevolence of any powerful group of humans, however noble their professed ideology. We must retain the right to throw the occupants out of office if they turn incompetent or tyrannical. And one further demand:
Reasonable restrictions can be debated, but to ensure the security of our lives and liberty, we must never absolutely relinquish the right to armed self-defense.

Science and Theology: Questioning the "Two-State Solution"
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
In today's video, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.

Today I'm delighted to introduce Ben Ashmore, the founder and president of the National Family Civil Rights Center, as this week's guest blogger.
In In re Burrus, the Supreme Court stated in dicta that "[t]he whole subject of domestic relations of husband and wife, parent and child, belongs to the laws of the states and not to the United States." 136 U.S. 586, 593 (1890). This dicta is now firmly entrenched in federal jurisprudence thanks to Ankenbrandt v. Richards, a case in which the Court established the domestic relations exception (DRE). 504 U.S. 689 (1992). In Ankenbrandt however, even though the DRE applied to litigants seeking domestic relations decrees in federal court through diversity actions, the Court foresaw a potential conflict between federal questions and diversity jurisdiction, noting that "whether the interest of States remains a sufficient justification today . . . is uncertain in view of the expansion in recent years of federal law in the domestic relations area." Id. at 715 (Blackmun, J., concurring).
While the DRE unquestionably remains a bar to jurisdiction in diversity suits, the Supreme Court and lower courts have redefined traditional notions of marriage, procreation, contraception, family relationships, and parental choices concerning children, finding such choices are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, which frequently serves as a check on state prerogatives that deny liberty.[1] As a consequence, many litigants have brought federal question suits to challenge the constitutionality of state domestic relations laws and procedures.
On this subject, the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits have held that the DRE presents no bar to subject matter jurisdiction on federal questions.[2] Notwithstanding the uniformity among these circuits or the fact that the Supreme Court has never squarely addressed the issue, a number of courts have noted that the DRE "remains in disarray" in that some courts still use the DRE in federal-question cases.[3]
Until Ashmore v. New York (pending on the Supreme Court docket: No. 12-1181), the conflict over the DRE existed only at the district level within the Second Circuit: "[s]ome district courts in the Second Circuit have applied the domestic relations exception in federal question cases, but other Circuits have held that the exception is limited to diversity suits." Johnson v. Rodrigues, 226 F.3d 1103, 1111 n.4 (10th Cir. 2000).
Ashmore asks the Court to resolve this split and raises two questions: (1) whether parties may bring challenges to the constitutionality of state domestic relation laws and procedures pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 if no relief in the form of appellate review of a state-court judgment is sought; and, (2) whether expert opinion based upon the hearsay statements of third parties is inadmissible if the third-party statements are not held as testimonial evidence subject to confrontation at trial.
On the first question, in identical cases, the Sixth and Tenth circuits issued lengthy and reasoned opinions that directly conflict with the Second Circuit's summary order in Ashmore, holding that that it is appropriate for the "[district] court to examine whether certain judicial proceedings, which happened to involve a divorce, comported with the federal constitutional guarantee of due process." Catz v. Chalker, 142 F.3d 279, 292 (6th Cir. 1998). As to the second question, there is a deep split in authority among state and federal courts, which a number of media outlets have characterized as the most pressing and controversial issue in custody litigation today.[4] It is also worth noting that the Supreme Court is currently considering a cert. petition in a case raising related issues (Allshouse v. Pennsylvania), which resulted in a GVR back in 2011.

Rodrigues, 226 F.3d 1103, 1111-12 (10th Cir. 2000) (rejecting domestic relations exception because federal court could reach federal question and remand custody issue back to state court for determination); Catz v. Chalker, 142 F.3d 279, 293 (6th Cir. 1998) (overruling dismissal of due process claims because it did not implicate merits of divorce decree); United States v. Bailey, 115 F.3d 1222, 1231 (5th Cir. 1997) ("[b]ecause this case clearly arises under this Court's federal question jurisdiction, the domestic relations exception presents no bar"); and, United States v. Johnson, 114 F.3d 476, 481 (4th Cir. 1997) ("[t]he 'jurisdictional exception,' in the first place, is applied only as a judicially implied limitation on the diversity jurisdiction; it has no generally recognized application as a limitation on federal question jurisdiction").

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY (9/24/13) – My name is Scott Rogers and I have written a lot of things regarding how the city and county government has run things, such as the fact that the spending keeps going on and on.
What I am seeing here is that Hopkins County is falling further and further back.
As I have stated before, there are people in this city that tell me that this is not their problem. In one of my last Blue Collar Comments, a member of the Fiscal Court, while I was addressing several issues, leaned back in his chair and told the judge, "We need to end this." As a result, the judge informed me that my time was over.
The question that I'm asking you, the citizens of Hopkins County, is that who is running the Fiscal Court? I guess Mr. Wilson is judge and jury. The citizens of the city and county elect the Mayor, the City Council, the Judge and the member of the Fiscal Court.
I have also went before the Board of Education, the Library Board, and the City Council. I have yet to get an answer to my questions. The answer is always the same. "It's not our problem." So, whose problem is it?
I have a person in Frankfort that I call and ask questions and this person always gets back to me. I have called the Board of Education, the Attorney General's Office, and it's like a shell game. This person tells me to call another person, and that person continues to tell me to call another.
I have a 41 page report from the Division of Abandoned Mine Lands about the Hopkins County Career and Tech Center (LB#12730). The Tech Center is falling in, after the Board of Education spent 6 million dollars on it, and now they are walking away? When I go before the city and the county, they tell me that it is not their problem and Fiscal Court members tell the judge that we need to end this? Who is running this county?
If I was the judge, in that situation, I would have told Mr. Wilson that he was out of order.
Citizens of Hopkins County, I think we need to look long and hard at who is running the county. Is it the judge or the magistrate?
Remember, election time is just around the corner, and I will not forget what Wilson said when I was addressing the Court.
Constitution of the United States
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this, Constitution for the United States of America.
I rest my case!
Scott Rogers
