I saw that show and also had a good time.
Sounds like we both kind of liked it.
Used to love going to see Ian Moore play at the Stafford.
Eric Johnson with about 80 other people at East gate was the best "how the **** is that possible?" show
Rem was the best "how the **** did aTm get them to play here? Show.
Toad the wet sprocket at the tap was the best "where is everyone?" Show

Checkseven at The Didgeridoo circa 2000
Dwight Yoakum at Chilifest was epic
Norma Jean, '68, and Sleepwave at Grand Stafford in 2015
In the mid 70s at G Rollie, hated Olivia John, liked Crystasl Gayle, but my favorite was Michael Murphy.

I was there then, and don't remember this at all. I don't think AC/DC in '85 would've have opened for Hammer anyway.BennyBlancoFromTheBright said:
MC Hammer with little known Aussie opener ACDC, G Rollie W circa 1985
The professor never misses a DBS reference!
Well, it's one thing I've got.
Steve Martin, '78-ish
Jimmy Buffet - '80 or '81. Coconut Telegraph tour. Right before spring break
Bob Hope

No one saw Elvis?
The Nixons show at The Tap was pretty cool (probably 2000 or 2001). We were right up at the front.
I'll admit, I was at the Starsailor/Default/Nickleback show at Reed (2002ish).
Of shows I wasn't involved with, the Toadies at Shadow Canyon in 2001.
The Nixon's with The Exies opening at The Tap is up there as well.

And acdc was huge in 85.
Old Crow Medicine Show.
Toadies 2001, right after HBSA released, was insane.
Saw Bowling For Soup open for the Nixons out in Bryan Fall 1999. That was cool.

Fugazi is still the answer
The Beach Boys in 1979. They were all still alive and still together then. The crowd began dancing like it was choreographed. That was a lot of fun. The 1970s had lots of great talent play at GRW.
Garth--1989 or 1990--was really good, too.

There's 0% chance this is true. AC/DC released Back In Black in 1980 and that's one of the best selling albums of all time.
Considering age of thread I probably already posted but I saw BR549 on the back porch at Fitzwillies with about 10 other people. It was a freaking blast.
Not a big name at all but it was right before they got semi-famous for a bit.

Feeding Five Thousand was something else.

I've seen a few posts about seeing him, maybe in other forums, though. August 23, 1955 at the Saddle Club in Bryan and October 3, 1955 at G. Rollie White.
What year was that? I saw them at 3rd floor in the late 90's I think. Also saw them and hung out a little at Fitzgeralds in Houston.YouBet said:

I'm going to guess 1995 or '96.
Moving Sidewalk (later known as ZZ Top) 1969 at A&M Consolidated HS Prom
Mance Lipscomb around that same year at a Church Coffee House near Campus.
Both were awesome in completely different ways.

So what happened to live music at BCS? notice how all these acts are pre 2005, don't remember any big names in the last decade

Chris Ledoux at The Hall
This +2. Still have one of the drumsticks thrown into the audience. Not sure why I kept it. Awesome show!
Now that being said, I must discuss the runner-up in the best "performance" category, if you want to call it that. I remember John Michael Montgomery putting on a show at G.Rollie with Clay Walker as his opening act. I remember this day because I went to the Chicken that afternoon before the show and there was John Michael Montgomery just hangin out and drinkin' beer. I thought it was odd that he was there before a show but I guess he wanted to have a few and chase some college girls. His "crew" looked very annoyed. Anyway...I ended up at the concert with some friends that had an extra ticket. Clay Walker was an awesome opening act...so awesome in fact, he performed for almost 2 hours. After a long "intermission", John Michael Montgomery found his way to the stage...and it is an understatement when I say, HE. WAS. FRACTURED. He was commode huggin' drunk. He fought thru 2 songs, forgetting words and dang near fell off the stage 3 times. After being boo'd during song 3 or 4, he was finally poured off stage. It was quite entertaining.
I made a round through the Chicken that day and saw the same. He was blotto before 5pm....
I saw Ludacris and Donald Glover a couple of years ago, that was pretty sweet.
Burden Brothers. Really fun show. 2003.
