Concert #4 was Pink Floyd at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, GA. Prior to this, I had experienced 2 shows at the Omni, and one at the Lakewood Exhibition Center. The scale of Bobby Dodd dwarfed all of those. I had never been to any sporting event beyond a few High School football games, so a venue of this size was otherwordly.

This would have been my third concert and likely my sophomore year in High School. It was also my first one at a venue that was not Omni, and general admission concert experience where there aren’t seats, but rather a free for all of humanity.
I went with 3 friends, Dave, Rob, and Danny. I’m pretty sure Ministry was the draw for all of us and they were supporting the album Psalm 69 that year. The original middle slot was supposed to be Helmet, but they had an accident on an icy patch of road on their way to the show. Those icy patches of roads would make another appearance in the tale, but we will crash into that road sign when the time is right. Ice T’s Body Count was added as a last-minute replacement.

Robert Plant at the Omni in Atlanta was my first concert experience. Here are the fragments that remain all these years later. My friend Rob was there as well. Little did I know at the time, but Rob would become a concert warrior in the years to come.

This Dysfunktion Junktion concert took place some time in 2002 at Jake’s Roadhouse in Decatur, GA. I had been playing with the band for just under a year, and we were performing a lot of the material that would end up recorded on the Butler Studio Sessions. This includes Matthew William’s fantastic jazz themed instrumental

Fugazi visited Georgia a handful of times over their decade-long career. I was fortunate enough to catch 2 shows in 1993 and 2 shows in 1996. All of these at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA. They were touring in support of the more experimental Red Medicine album. The photos below derive from the 1996 dates.

I have been thinking about fiddle master David Blackmon while he recovers from recent surgery. I was fortunate enough to travel with him in 2005/2006 as a member of Blueground Undergrass. I cannot begin to express his level of both relentless humor and masterful musicianship. He was always a guiding light to me on stage
