Pink Floyd division bell/communicate tour local record store owner sold me his promoter tickets...best seats I have ever had.
Tool aenima toor, in Wichita KS playing at the cotillion ballroom of all places only holds 2000. This was right before the got big.
Quoted from cottonm4:In 1966, The Yardbirds played at our Cotillion which holds about 2000 people, maybe less. Jimmie Page was playing guitar at this time. He used his violin bow on one song. There was not any security other than house people. I was hanging down in front of the stage at the band's feet.
They were playing a Hendrix song, "I Don't Live Today" when the drummer passed out and he collapsed with his head falling into his double-toms. It took a few seconds for the rest of the band to figure out they had no drummer, who was taken away for a rest. A call went out and a local guy who knew Yardbirds stuff was drafted and the show went on.
I had a good time at that show.
I had a better time in 1994 going to see Pink Floyd at Kansas City Arrowhead stadium.
One of the better concerts I saw was Tool at the Cotillion supporting their Anema album. Drove down from Hays With a bunch of friends from college. The Cotillion offers an up close and personal experience, it is a great venue. I also went to the Pink Floyd concert at arrowhead, managed to get a couple of promoter tickets from G and B records in Hays. Best concert ever!!
