Most of the Big bands still active in the 50s and 60s and couple in the 70s … There is no use listing them here there is only a handful on the site that would have any idea who I am talking about … I is like me with about 90 % of those you all listed … I have very little knowledge of who are or were outside of the older country music and a few good pop musician from the 70s on I considered a lot of it rubbish I didn't listen to it. It is great being old ….Ha, ha!

Malenurse - You must have a great memory to remember all those concerts!

I looked on the Moondance Jam web site to remember more than half of those. Weve been going for the past 18 years.

Worked personal and stage security for a lot of the bands/singers mentioned back in the day in NYC. The Grateful Dead stand out in my memory as a classy bunch. Lots of not so classy folk. Boy George may have been the worst.

Hank Jr. and Metallica. Lol

Mike

I figured you were going to tell us about the ones that invented music!!!

White 17,
I believe Leo Kottke was a Twin Cities guy?? Did you originally see him back there? i know a lot of Minnesotans relocated to Alaska. My brother who used to live in St. Paul used to work on Leo Kottke's guitars, as well as Paul Stookey's.

Garth Brooks (don't remember who opened), 311, the Gap Band, Randy Travis, a bunch of rap hip hop and r&b artists, Carlos Santana, lots of spanish musicians and mariachis, missed AGT winner Grace Vanderwall (she was recording at my buddy's studio). A bunch of Christian artists including David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, Mercy Me to name a few

I wish I could've seen a lot of the musicians mentioned on here.
