Most embarrassing Concert you have ever attended

[Darrell KSR]

Air Supply, or Crystal Gayle?

"Lost in Love," or "Don't it make my brown eyes blue?"

Hmm.

[Doc]

I've been to many but none I'm embarrassed about. I had comp tix to josh grobin but turned them down (same source as my Eagle's tix-- see thread on premi board). Probably REO is the closest. Saw them several times in the 70s as well as 3 yrs ago.

[badrose]

Kiss

[dan_bgblue]

We took our daughter to see Hootie and the Blowfish. EEEWWWWW

[badrose]

I thought Cracked Rear View was pretty good all the way through.

[CGWildcat]

I got y'all beat....3 glasses of bourbon after a big fight with Lori when we were dating...I didn't know which end was up. I bought her Barry Manilow tickets to make up. Sat through it all.:confused0053:

Time to surrender the man card

[Doc]

Does "Barney" count? My daughter was a big fan of his (yes, the purple dinosaur) so we went to one of his "concerts". Not sure that counts, and its not as bad a Barry Manilow.

As a kid, we went to see Wayne Newton at the NY state fair (my uncle was a NY State Trooper assigned to security so we went to the show). Petty embarrassing now, I guess.

and your testicles!

[elicat]

Kiss

Yep, me too. But I have also seen some so amazing that it more than makes up for it. I don't know how it is now, but in the 70s and 80s Rupp hosted some very fine performances.

Philosophers have long searched for the truest definition of "love".

Unfortunately, we just found the truest definition of "whipped". ;)

Don't worry about it, no man has survived a relationship with a woman without doing some things that would make you check your manhood at the desk. I should have known when we had the joint wedding shower thing that I was in trouble.

[KSRBEvans]

Two:

1. John Denver, 1979;

2. Michael Buble, 2008.

Mitigating factor: women were involved both times.

Ah, yeah, this reminds me of Adam Ant in Memorial... Gah.

Took my wife to see Roberta Flack back in the mid seventies. She was fantastic. However, the opening act was some guy singing Commercial jingles, (Get abucket of chicken, KFC and some McDonalds ad where the baby grand cover raised.) It was effin Barry Manilow and the Oreos or the Manilettes, whatever they were called that night. It was the worst music ever. Even sweet Roberta couldn't make up for that. Sheesh! What bad memories!

Don't sweat it, my man. The true test of manhood is being confident in it. I've been in drag at least twice that I can remember. So, keep your man card and hold up your whipped card proudly.

[CGWildcat]

Too many to "reply with quote" on here. At least none of you saw me last night carrying Lori's bright red Kate Spade purse back to the car for her. LMAO!!! At least I got to sit next to Lori and another girl with her date...she was wearing a sequined shirt with "I'm a Fanilow." I was too when I saw her. Whew! Man card renewed!

[Darrell KSR]

I understand Roger has this pinned on his wall.

I bought ex-GF a black Kate Spade for her birthday a few years ago, and had to pose with it in pics, and hold/carry it for her. My ex-wife used to always have me hold her purse all the time, too. Then I went out with one who was horrified at the idea of a woman asking a man to hold her purse. Said she would never do that. I also never got more than a kiss from her, so maybe carrying their purses is the price we pay LOL

Concerts - I don't go to.

I got to admit, she is sort of hot. :533:


or is that a guy?

[KSRdallen]

When we were dating (1990) I took my wife to see Cher.

[CGWildcat]

I've been to Cher with Lori also...........However, I'm going to retain my man card by taking her to Meatloaf and Lynyrd Skynyrd!! :653:

I don't know, man. Manilow AND Cher? I'd say Lori's cool for going to Meatloaf and Skynard but I'm sensing a pattern here.

:sign0157:

[blueboss]

I too saw Barry Manilow at EKU I believe in 75, but he was warming up Earth Wind and Fire.

That's more information than I really wanted to know about either of those two groups. ;)

Barry was warming them up by crooning for them backstage I suppose?

http://ttnewsflash.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/barry_manilow.jpg

I don't believe that's his natural color for one minute...well, maybe the hair, but not the rest.

[CGWildcat]

Oh the love!! As I sit out on the patio with the Direct TV music channels playing...Lori is inside...Barry is on as I type this. "It's a world wide symphonyyyyy....I write the songs....." Ok im done. :)

No chance you managed to make a Captain and Tennille show too?

[Darrell KSR]

I think that goes without saying. Actually, everything he admitted to should've gone without saying.

[CGWildcat]

OK, lets see....
Brooks and Dunn
Charlie Daniels Band
Three Dog Night
Franki Valli
Johnny Mathis
Tony Bennett
Blake Shelton
Toby Keith
Blue Collar Comedy Tour
Ron White
Vicki Lawrence (From Carol Burnett Show)

I THINK that's it. Aside from the ones already mentioned. For the record, I've been to Darrell's house...this was in his "man cave."

Was Chuck Negron with Three Dog Night at the time?

[CGWildcat]

Unfortunately no, he was not. We saw them in 2002-03, I think he left the group in the 90s sometime. Oh and we saw Clarence Clemons!

[blueboss]

Not a concert but I got dragged to Mamma Mia! at the Center for The Arts.

Hey, I may replace everybody in first to lose man card if we start using theatre. I am toast then.

Try sitting through a 'Dora the Explorer' stage show with a 3 year old.
