What Tour Changed how you played ?

I don't know what the tour was called, but Buddy Guy was a pretty big deal to me when I saw him.
I just saw him in June for his final tour. He can still rip and sing his ass off! Great storyteller, too. And he told some douchebag in the audience to “shut the fuck up”.
 
Monsters of rock. I was a diehard classic rock and blues guy. Jimmy and jimi…nothing else. Then I saw that…awesome stuff.
Seeing Led Zeppelin at MSG, NY 1973.
I was playing about 2 years at that time. I walked out of that 2 and a half hour show amazed at what could be done with a guitar.
My other thought was too take up a different hobby.
Wow fucking insane .
 
Three shows come to mind. GnR opening for Aerosmith right as Appetite was breaking. GnR f'ing killed! I was in high school.

Dream Theater playing at The Alrosa Villa when I was at Ohio State. Touring for Images and Words. I knew very little about them but seeing them in what was basically a bar was mind blowing.

Third was Black Label Society at The Alrosa Villa. Zakk up close and personal. Yikes!
Nothing fir me could top that GNR in 88
 
Mr. Bungle has a pretty wide range of material. California is a masterpiece and maybe their most "accessable" album. FNM is my favorite band ever. I love all their albums but "King For a Day..." is a great starting point. Angel Dust is amazing.
King for a day is a masterpiece for real.
 
As far as changed my playing though; was seeing cannibal on the vile tour and cryptopsy on the whisper tour. Also Pantera opening for wrath child america at the Bernard's cultural center in New Orleans.
Emperor in san fran, soilent green a shit ton and played a hundred shows with acid bath back in the 90’s. I camd up in a crushing time in metal. Played a show with monstrosity before george went to CC.
 
Hellyeah, New Years Eve a few years back. Blew out my left ear. Now I have tinnitus and need a hearing aid. So I play with an ear plug in, so I don't go completely deaf
