The Worst or Best Seat in the House Game

oftenreading

Worst seat for PJ by a mile. I’ve never been a Nirvana fan. 

1955. Best seat in the house for up and coming Elvis or worst seat for established icon Frank Sinatra. Both are theatres.

Okay, I'm going to check out CBGBs instead.

1994. REM or Green Day. 

You have to answer the previous question. 

I answered. None of the above.

But at least I offered a new question. 

I knew this game would get a little whirly. 

Just keep it simple ladies and gentlemen:  One band worst seat, another band best seat, year, type of venue.  Boom, boom, boom.  Oh, yeah, and boom.

Definitely Van Halen.

1987. Worst seat in the house for Metallica wrapping up their Master of Puppets tour or best seat in the house for Guns N Roses kicking off the Appetite for Destruction tour. Midsize theater. 

G&R.  Not the biggest fan but if Tommy Stinson happens to be on bass, I wanna be there!

One for the few oldies here:

1967, Monterrey Pop Festival (crowd estimated vary but probably about 50,000).   Jefferson Airplane with Grace Slick, best seats or Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, worst seat (probably standing)?

Sorry brian. We’ll just blame Wobbie  

tempo_n_groove

Elvis of course.  I Can't stand Sinatra...

1982 Best seat(GA) to see Minor Threat or worst seat(Way in the back) for The Misfits? 

500 person club.

tbergs

The Misfits.

It's the summer of '92 and you can get front row seats to the amazing Soundgarden or be at the back of the house to witness an upstart new band called Tool.

SmallestOceans

Hmmm tough one, but can’t pass up front row Soundgarden in early 90s.

The Axis 1996, small club in Boston...

Front row for Three Fish or back row for Type O Negative?

Oh, poor Wobbie!   

Don't know either Three Fish or Type O Negative.  Someone else gets to go!

Three fish was Jeff Ament’s side project in the mid 90’s. They were pretty good, definitely worth checking out.

I. Hung with Jeff after a three fish show back in the 96-98 range at wetlands, ny.  Coolest dude ever. Drank Heinekens and talked Montana and snowboarding. Awesome guy.

So, looks like McGruff has gone with Three Fish.

1994. Rod Stewart holds what is estimated (in retrospect) to be the biggest concert ever held, a free, open-air New Year's Eve show on the beach in Rio to allow those who couldn't afford concerts to attend. Safe to say that almost any seat would objectively be bad.

Vs. ....... Kiss , who apparently toured in 1994. Stadium show I would say, best seat.

Oooh, was that the Pyscho Circus tour? Man, I hated Kiss and that song then...and still.

According to wikipedia, it was the Kiss My Ass tour

@oftenreading
While we wait for SC to answer to the previous and since you insist on being....stubborn - 
1983
CBGB's - really hard to have a best and worst seat since there were no seats and the place was packed and small BUT - 

Worst placing for The Dead Kennedys and someone WILL vomit on you (nothing personal - it's CBGB's)

or 

At the stage for The Circle Jerks with a guaranteed steel toed boot to your head. (same disclaimer)

tempo_n_groove

I'd see KISS.  That would be fun.

Front row for GG Allin in 93 or back of the room for GWAR?

I'll go with DK's and clean up the puke.  My head has taken enough hits!

1970, Berkeley Greek Theater.  Best seat to see the Duke Ellington's orchestra in his latter years or worst seat to see Miles Davis in his prime.

oftenreading

Ooooooh. I could not pass up the chance to see Miles Davis. I was just listening to him last night. That would be a dream. 

1975. Worst seat in the house for Genesis, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour, or best seat in the house for Fleetwood Mac. 

njnancy

Tough choice but I would choose Fleetwood Mac 

Central Park, NYC

1980 - Elton John World Tour - up close (he wore the duck suit) and able to breathe

1981 - Simon & Garfunkel Farewell Concert - way in the back with no view of the stage and packed in like a sardine

Hobbes

Elton.

On a dairy farm in the Catskill Mountains, August of '69.

Up front for Richie Havens

or

Way in back for Jimi Hendrix

HesCalledDyer

Richie.

Best seat for Lady Gaga in 2019 or worst seat for Madonna in 1989?  Both at Madison Square Garden.
