The Grants Pass Caveman and Todd La Torre @ 2025 Boatnik

I’ve been to a few concerts in my lifetime. According to setlist.fm, I’ve been to over 900. However, that’s a significant undercount.

The one pictured above included a top-five hilarious moment in my concert history.

During Queensrÿche’s “Take Hold of the Flame” the Grants Pass Caveman ran out on stage to perform the guitar solo on his club. He got soooooo into it — an Oscar-worthy performance. It was the perfect song to go along with a caveman too. I don’t know whose idea this was, but it was insanely brilliant and perfectly executed.
