The Best St. Patrick’s Day show(s) You Saw

Forums:

Bob Dylan at the Reno Hilton Theater, 3-17-2000, two shows, 1,700 seat theater, table at front for both shows.

Not often you get to hear Bob play 30 songs in one night but this was one of those.

30 songs. Two repeats. (Like A RS and NFA)

One of the covers he did was The Roving Blade, a great song by an Irish band he only played a few times, and also possibly the greatest

Man In The Long Black Coat ever....(who knows, but it was as good as anything I've ever seen him do).

Just one of those jaw-dropping type deals when you know right there you are hearing something really special.

Having him start with Roving Gambler one show and Duncan and Brady the other was just exactly perfect...

 

Year before, Neil Young Solo----Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, 3-17-99.

Second row center left isle, reserved. 
Just a wonderful way to spend a St Patrick's day evening.

At one point Neil holds up Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and says "I'm drinking a green beer."

Excellent show, ticket price included meeting Neil, which made for a somewhat weird after show scene.

3-17-93 The Grateful Dead at the Capitol Centre in Landover, Maryland

I was 10th row, dead center.  The "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" debut was the cherry on top of a great show.

Steve Miller at Winterland back in 1973 - had a blast that night.

 

 

I don't  remember. 

GD ~ HJK ~ 1988    nowhere near as good as the might before, but one of the more interesting drumz with Hamza El-Din.

Nice Liquid, I was there for the run in Feb '88---- Valentine's Day etc.

It was really cool that we had the Kaiser for a while...At the New Years run in '86 they had the Laney College parking lot open 

for car camping. We stayed there in my friends VW Bus for 4 days no hassle no problems no trash I don't think the lot wasn't even full. Just fun.

By the next year, Things Had Changed.

 

If you can remember, you weren't there

One more from the Crap Center in DC, one of my favorite early 90's shows.

Grateful Dead - 3/17/94 Rosemont Horizon 

Sold out show and I found an extra ticket on the ground.  Traded it for some good stuff.  Felt a little bad for whoever lost the tix, but what are you going to do...yell into the crowd to see who dropped it?

Zappa at the Broome county arena , great show played tunes off one size fits all, and did a Sgt peppers encore. Very psychedelic

The only one that stands out at all for me is '94 at the famed  Rosemont Horizon! Front row smack in front of Jerry. Good times but being that close was nearly always like watching sausage getting made. Forever bless the god damned grateful dead!

1960's-70's St. Patrick's Day Parades in NYC with my Brothers & Sisters HS marching bands...

 

Was dwarf-tossing limited to tosses of six feet or more yesterday?

Herbal Dave, I'm not a great fan of Days Between, but that 3/17/93 version is exceptional!

So glad you made it!

always cool to get that handsome cabin boy/two soldiers jam and it was /folksie/irishy on 3/17/93.  also, post Dark Star there is a cool jam without JG.  I had a blast at this one!

 

>>> GD ~ HJK ~ 1988

oh yeah, this show also had the re-debut of Hey Jude out of Dear Mr Fantasy.

that shit was over the top.
