I've really only been to a bare handfull of live performances, but the one that stands out was Blues Traveller. Their second album had just come out and one of the guitar players turned 21 at the show. Proceeded to play the fastest version of Johnny B. Goode I've ever heard in my life.
This was, Jesus, 30 years ago now? 1991... so shit... 33 years ago.
I caught Thursday doing the 20 years tour for Full collapse, they played full collapse one night then war all the time the next.
It was the lead singers birthday and collectively we as the crowd sang him the most enthusiastic happy birthday ever.
At the end of the set his girlfriend came out PISSED because she’d planned to ask us to sing it to him while they dropped balloons, we had no energy left and it was basically just a crowd barely chanting it. He called it “the funeral birthday song”
Not my best show, but related and hilarious.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
WITH GOOD TIDINGS AND GOOD CHEER
YOU'LL BE DEAD THIS TIME NEXT YEAR
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
