The last Concert You went to?

[Lisardo]

Ratatat, a kind of techie, instrumental, dance music band. I saw them last night at a local club here in Seattle. My bf works as a stagehand, putting together stages and moving equipment around. He also does security, so sometimes he sneaks me into shows, :D

I also was about to go see another show he worked tonight, Mindless Self Indulgence, some punk band. It seemed like it'd be cool but when I dropped my bf off to work and saw the punky people standing in line to get in....I sort of changed my mind, :) Not that I have anything against those types, but this crowd was a bit too young and wild for my liking.

[sdp]

Radiohead. Great but not amazing.

[Powder]

Hmm i think my last show was Wu-tang clan in january

[ThirdMarioBro]

Bruce Springsteen & The E. Street Band

Jesus mother Mary. They just destroyed me. Greatest show ever. I've watched the DVD's and own all the albums, but when you leave the show shaking....damn. Also proud that freaking religious right Tulsa managed to sell out our brand new 15,000 seat BOK Center. Made me proud.

[Guitar_Raph]

Yesterday over @ The Prophet Bar near Downtown Dallas, I saw two cool friends. One's Tony Lucca (who I saw before @ the House of Blues) of MMC & the other's Curtis Peoples.

I had plans to see Curtis play in Houston last year, but it happened the week after the hurricane.

Like Tony & I, he also plays a hollow body guitar.

Guess we are the Three Hollow Body Guitar Bros.

Gy8MseiJb7A

[Ninjinister]

Flight of the Conchords

[ThirdMarioBro]

Fleetwood Mac.

[Voltron]

Electric Six, baby!

You must obey the dance commander!

[Zog the Equalizer]

Gaslight Anthem last week. It was amazing! Plus I got to meet and hang out with the band for a little bit after the show.

[Arcade Joe]

I saw the Music as a weapon tour with Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Chimera, and Lacona Coil...

[Cipher]

Saw Minneapolis rapper P.O.S. last week. He's a member of Doomtree, which everyone should check out, even if you think you hate hip-hop.

Seeing Animal Collective this week. They're my favorite band, and I'm hoping it'll be a good show.

[discordiatookie]

Went to see Oasis at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh last night. It was pretty amazing. 55,000 fans singling along to Don't Look Back In Anger is goose-bump inducing.

It was different to my normal gigging experiences - I could only get seating tickets up at the upper tiers, i'm usually standing and bouncing along with the nuts down the front. But it meant I gotta drink more beer as I didn't haveta fight my way through masses of crowds, and I wasn't a stinking, knackered, battered mess after...

The view was superb, sure they were quite wee, but there were big screens and being up the top we could see Edinburgh castle over the top of the other stand - pretty scenic. Support was great too, coming from Reverend & the Makers, The Enemy and Kasabian. Kasabian especially were immense.

So all in all a great day!

[saiyan_monkey]

I think it was Dark Tranquillity, no wait I saw Testament at this Cancer benifit! Yeah...I'm going to Ozzfest just to see Arch Enemy and Iron Maiden. It probly won't be as good as the time I saw AE with Slayer, or the time I saw them with Cradle Of Filth. Yeah...I'm seeing Therion next month


:o OMG your such a lucky person.. Getting bands like that in NZ doesnt happen that often. The last concert I went to would of been a kiwi band called Blindspot (dont know if anyone here has herad of them) but out of all the gigs Ive been to it had the biggest crowd Ive seen a band draw in real life but Ive never been to an international band. I was gutted last time Slayer came, back in 2007 or 2008 because I was a supervisor where I was working and there was no getting off.

Also missed out on Mudvayne. The stupid radio station only mentioned it a few days before the concert so there was no way I could of sorted out tickets and a ride there. So sad..

[discordiatookie]

Me and my sister went to see Neil Young on wednesday. Very excellent. Had alot of fun, met up with some friends I hadn't seen in ages, had quite a bit to drink and sang my heart out to the songs I knew. I knew about six or seven songs, which was not too bad, considering I only own four Neil Young albums. The guy was immense. He started with Hey Hey, My My, and ended with a cover of the Beatles' A Day In The Life. Amazing.

Then I went out into town after with my sister and a couple of her friends, ended up in a gay bar, and snogged a girl. At least I hope it was a girl :lol:

[SassyGal]

My sister and I went to see No Doubt last night and it was awesome! Their opening acts were Bedouin Soundclash and Paramore. By the time No Doubt came on I was super pumped! It made me even more excited to Depeche Mode in July :)

[discordiatookie]

My sister and I went to see No Doubt last night and it was awesome! Their opening acts were Bedouin Soundclash and Paramore. By the time No Doubt came on I was super pumped! It made me even more excited to Depeche Mode in July :)

I remember seeing No Doubt at the T in the Park festival (Scotland's biggest music festival) back in 2002. Although not a massive fan, they put on a great show. I remember Gwen Stefani climbed up all this rigging at the side of the stage, whilst singing her songs. During the Oxygen festival a week or so later, (Ireland's equivalent to T) she done the same thing and got stuck up the rigging!

[plastroncafe]

Dave Matthews at Fenway Park.

One of my favorite bands playing in one of my favorite places.
AND the tickets were free.

Can't beat that with a stick.

[Zog the Equalizer]

Saw dredg last Thursday with RX Bandits and Good Old War. Fun times and great pizza

[SassyGal]

I just saw Depeche Mode last night and they were awesome! We saw them at the Molson Ampitheater in Toronto and it's outside so I was glad it didn't rain :)

[WinterMorning]

It's been a while, but I believe it was Mogwai in '08.

[cqb101]

AC/DC at Gillette Stadium last night.

It was epic.

[zkarlette]

Coldplay two weeks ago

[Guitar_Raph]

761 days later, Hanson returned to the House of Blues @ Dallas, TX. Liked their music, especially MMMBop! If a pig farmer was a fan of their music, they would be known as "Hamson"!

They also had another cool band named Steel Train from New Jersey. Two of its guitarists played hollow bodies.

[plastroncafe]

Brandi Carlile
House of Blues
Boston.

[Powder]

I think my last concert was wutang clan that sh!t was dope i met a few of em

[kev trashcan]

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

KISS Alive 35 tour. Chicago,Illinois. (last night)

[Lieutenant Granitor]

Grits Drapak Ukraine, Buchach LOL

[Guitar_Raph]

For the 3rd consecutive time, Tony Lucca @ the Prophet Bar.

This summer (July 13), he plans to have his 6th album out. Can't wait.

[Koschei]

last show I went to was Veil of Maya and Animals As Leaders.

[Scandia]

Lynyrd Skynyrd last night :)

To say that it was awesome is an understatement.

[Oculus Orbus]

The last big show I've been to was Bruce Springsteen last summer. It was very good.

And last week I went to see Guerrilla, a tribute band to Rage Against The Machine. I had a lot of fun, and the guys really sound like RATM.

[rav4ge]

Video games live (http://www.videogameslive.com/index.php?s=home), like four years ago.

Wow, I need to get out more.

[Lisardo]

I saw The Wallflowers a few months back, plus I also saw a reggie group called Rebelution. Both shows my bf got me into for free since he was working both shows.

[Zarana-X]

I don't get out much anymore. Last gig I saw was Nocturna, a Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute band. Awesome show, they played all the early 70's and early 80's stuff. They had everythign down, and the singer is a shorter, doppleganger of Siouxsie.

[Lynn]

I went to see Lonestar with my sister and a couple of friends.

[ThirdMarioBro]

I'm hitting as many tours this year as I can hit. Got Conan tickets, and just picked up Lady Gaga tickets, and I'm hitting Cyndi Lauper again August. I hope to add some more in as well.

The last big show I've been to was Bruce Springsteen last summer. It was very good.

I did as well. It was a FANTASTIC show.

[Spitfire]

Anyone else check out the 25th anniversary Megadeth Rust In Peace tour? Went to the show in LA and got filmed for the DVD. Pretty awesome show, though they pissed me off a bit with the set list. They played RIP in it's entirety which was cool but they totally killed the set with songs off the new album. Then they said they were going to play a "really old" song and made it sound like it was special. It was just "Peace Sells" which they always play anyway. I thought they were going to do something off "Killing is My Business and Business is Good" guess that was hoping for too much.

Testament also played. They did all of "The Legacy" and then some other songs which I liked. They didn't do "Disciples of the Watch" though which is like a Testament staple.

Exodus also played but I missed most of them. I didn't mind though their mix sucked, like it always does. I've seen them 3 times now, going to be 4 when the American Carnage tour happens, and every time they've sounded like ****. I don't even like them it's ironic how you end up seeing bands you don't like because of who they tour with.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Siw Malmkvist, Lill-Babas & Ann-Louise Hanson, and I'm go to see Jill Johnson on Saturday.

[Buffy]

I went to see Within Temptation (accoustic). It's the 4th time I've seen them live on stage.

[shuriken]

Alice in Chains. It was so packed. But it was awesome.

[discordiatookie]

Took a trip down to Edinburgh yesterday to see Florence and the Machine. Amazing gig. Just amazing. Lovely woman, lovely voice, great band (which was an eleven piece). The crowd was a bit different to what i'm used to - there were ALOT of females in the audience. Not that I was complaining, mind.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Jill Johnson

[gobo]

Ben Folds/Kate Miller Heidke

Thank goodness Kate didn't play any of her embarassing tweenybopper shiz...

[Flesh-N-Bone]

Bone Thugs concert.
I'll be attending a Tech N9ne concert soon enough.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Last Week:

Weird Al Yankovic

Some people seem to think this man isn't funny anymore. I say those people are jaded as hell, and I pity them. Al came to Tulsa and made me laugh until I puked. He never lets up. Weird Al in a fat suit, singing "Fat" while punching out Santa Claus just never gets old. It just doesn't. Too many laughs to list.



A Few Hours ago:

The Monster Ball - Starring Lady Gaga

Easily the best concert I've ever witnessed. Gaga has guts coming to Oklahoma. It's a shithole for religious intolerance and gay hate. Westboro picketed the event, along with a couple of other baptist groups that actually wound up delaying about a third of the crowd from getting in. We were early, so we missed most of the drama. Gaga held the show off for the people stuck outside with the crazies.

Lady Starlight warmed up the crowd with her DJ set. She was fantastic. Great set. Semi Precious Weapons were the opening act. Fu*king insane. Basically a rock-and-roll strip show. Loved it. Gaga blew everyone the fu*k away. Nearly 3 hours of non-stop amazement, improvised moments, a couple of touching scenes involving some fans giving her a book with inspirational quotes, heartwarming moments where she touched on some of her fans who had been attacked the day before while in town for the concert, and the best damn set list imaginable. She's INCREDIBLE live. She doesn't lip sync. It's all real, and her voice is so much better without the added "help" of produces auto-tuning and filtering her to sound like everyone else. It's so melodic and graceful in comparison to the album's more robotic sound. She played a variety of synths, including an ORIGINAL DX-7 positioned in the car at the beginning of the show. Just Dance sounds so much better without outside influences -- but then again, so did most everything. She's amazing.

She "surprised" (as in we all knew the lyrics) the crowd with Glitter & Grease (hysterical popcorn song), Vanity (basically the song she broke into pieces and sold to Brittney Spears in chunks before becoming famous), and You and I (pure, old-school rock ballad perfection).

Easily one of the greatest nights of all time. She took an awful risk coming here (they busted two guys with handguns at the gate heading for the front of the general admission floor), but made a lot of suppressed people in this oppressive Oklahoma culture very happy. Such a truly kind spirit.

Life goal #4 complete. Seriously, she's the nicest person on Earth.

[shuriken]

Lollapalooza. Just got to hear Cypruss hill and Soundgarden though. But it was AWESOME so i'm ok with it

[RockMax]

Last concert I went to, was Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy at Wolf Trap, VA. My car broke down in Fredericksburg and I had to get it towed back to Richmond, then take a cab up to Wolf Trap then get a friend to pick up my friend and I that went with me.

The cab driver drove so slowly, then didn't take the right exit. I begged him to drive faster and I would give him like $20 more tip. We were 15 minutes lates, missed 3 songs and guess who got no tip? Yeah, but the night wasn't a total wash at least.

[Koschei]

Went and see my buds(Splatterhead) open up for Brain Drill, but had to leave after they played. :(
Before that I saw ORIGIN, my god those dudes are insanely awesome. Major talent in that band.

[Hero]

I last went to a concert in 2005 when I went to see The Bloodhound Gang at the Carling Academy, Bristol. Electric Eel Shock was the support band.

===HERO

[shuriken]

Went to see El Tri last Saturday. That was pretty cool.

[RskimB]

i just saw Big Boi (1/2 of Outkast) last night

[Wingnut]

Where was Andre 3000?

I saw BB King and Buddy Guy last week. Glad I went because they both looked pretty rough, but they still make that guitar cry! Buddy especially.

[GK Punk]

Saw Paramore last night in San Jose.

[Buslady]

My first metal festival in Atlanta, ProgPower XI to see Tarot. My friends, my inspiration they are.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs670.snc4/61050_1611517574750_1440584054_1641180_2545265_n.j pg
Tommi, Marco, Zac - far to near. I was parked by Zac's side, he's a friend. Percussion: Pecu and you can't really see Janne, he's back there on keys.

Best damn show I have ever seen in my life.

Pecu needs another cymbal rack.

[RiddleOfRevenge]

The last concert I went to was My Chemical Romance in the Hammersmith Apollo in London on the 23rd October (this year). Absolutely brilliant.
After the gig, I got my ticket signed by Ray, Frank and Mikey and I got my copy of "The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite" signed by Gerard.

("The Umbrella Academy" is a comic book written by Gerard, who is the lead singer of the band. Ray and Frank are the guitarists and Mikey is the bassist. Just incase you were wondering. :trazz:).

[deadpoolRKO]

Saw Paramore last night in San Jose.

how is Paramore live?



I went to Three Days Grace , Breaking Benjamin, & Flyleaf in February last year.


They were all 3 really awesome. Breaking Benjamin did a cover of "Dream On" by Aerosmith.

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

The Scorpions farewell tour with Ratt last July 31st @ Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles...***ing rocked!!

[Powder]

Video Games Live! Just got back.

Amazing, epic, & stellar are three words I'd use to describe the experience.

[RiddleOfRevenge]

I went to see My Chemical Romance again last Wednesday down in Dublin.
They were amazing as always. <3

[Brockon21]

I saw Staind at the South Dakota State Fair a few years back! They even played some songs acoustically!

[Ninja Turtles 25 Years]

I only went to one concert and that was because my sister's favorite group was doing a performance in our Chicago suburb festival. It was Styx. They did a song I ended up liking, but I didn't get the name.

I never been to a concert before that last July 4th. Then the next day was another concert, but I didn't care much for it. I wanted to leave and walk back to my mother's house, but I was sandwiched between what seemed like hundreds of people.

[deadpoolRKO]

I'm going to see Mayday Parade tommorow. :D

[AT-Man]

Last October my friend organized a noise/power electronics gig with probably three of the best Finnish PE bands: Grunt, Bizarre Uproar and Sick Seed.

http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5065/80384157.jpg


First I thought of linking an image of BU's show but that might have been too much... Let's just say it involved a gay porn video, dead rats and a naked woman.

[deadpoolRKO]

Mayday Parade was awesome !


they were all super nice , it was me my girlfriend and her best friend and her bf's boyfriend , and the whole band stayed after the show for like an hour signing autographs and taking pictures until everyone had what they wanted.

& when we got to the lead singer , he gave my GF's best friend a Yellow giraffe silly band.


they were really humble and put on a great show

[ghitgo]

Going to a concert tomorrow. Day 1 of Chaos In Tejas in Austin, Texas.

[adz]

Saw Metallica last year when they came to Australia. I tell ya they are just getting better with age!! Greatest concert ever.

[cowabunga14]

A friend and I saw Thursday on January 31st. The following --pretty much verbatim from my blog -- details the heckuva time we had finding the venue...

We only got to see Thursday play a few songs, though, cuz my buddy and I got to the show later than we planned to cuz San Francisco isn't easy to navigate. We thought we going in the right direction when my friend asked some guy where Van Ness was yet he pointed us in the wrong direction for some reason. My friend caught up to a lady and she told us where Van Ness actually was, which helped us out until we had to stop and ask for directions to The Regency Ballroom. Getting there took another fifteen or so minutes. So getting to the concert was an adventure in itself. Like I said, trying to find The Regency Ballroom in SF is like trying to find a freakin' neddle in a haystack. You'd think it'd be obvious where it is, but no -- freakin' internet directions screwed us over since they weren't very clear. At least we hung around after for a few of Underoath's songs.

When my friend and I got there, we were searched for anything we could get kicked out for but we were clear. However, some people got away with taking weed in there and smoked it when Underoath played. The lady that looked in my backpack noticed my camera and I told that I might not even use it. Noticing the size of it, she thought it was a video camera and I told her it was a camera that uses floppy disks to take pictues and she was surprised to hear that since she hadn't heard the term "floppy disk" in a long time. I didn't take any pictures cuz there wasn't much battery life in my camera cuz I charged it about an hour before I left to meet my friend. That and there was really no reason to take pictures. Despite getting to the concert late, we still had a good time. I didn't engage in moshing nor did my friend during the Underoath show since we're not really into it.

[Guitar_Raph]

Yesterday, went over to American Airlines Center to see NKOTBSB. Sure, the New Kids & Backstreet Boys sang their old classics, and for a brief moment, Nick Carter got to play the guitar!

I went myself & told an usher about how I got that ticket (through winning $140 in Bingo). 10 minutes into the concert, a couple of ushers came to me & upgraded my seating from the balcony to low level.

I even got Nick Carter's new CD as well.

I saw Julia Nunes at the beginning of the month and it was awesome. She is such a funny, genuine person. She really connects with her audience.

[tengushredder]

[Shreddhead]

I caught AC/DC two years ago in Pittsburgh

[UsagiYojimbo]

Lindsey Buckingham, Richard Thompson, Crowded House, and Heart (the last four I went to)

[discordiatookie]

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, in Glasgow last month. Gig before that was Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in Aberdeen. They were both amazing.

Next gig is Slow Club, and I can't wait!

[Panda Khan]

Saw Mastodon and Soundgarden in Grand Prairie, TX back in the fall. Soundgarden was kinda on a mini-tour being that they only played two dates: GP, TX and NOLA for Voodoo Fest. Both bands were amazing.

[zkarlette]

Saw Steven Wilson last week, was pretty cool.

[chris350]

Revival tour a month ago. Chuck Ragan, Dan Andriano, Tom Gabel, and Cory Branan. It was awesome.

[Shreddhead]

I just saw Alice Cooper and Iron Maiden in Camden NJ on Friday, then traveled to Bristow VA and saw them again last night. Suuuuch an amazing performance!

[Leo656]

DUDE you were at the Cooper/Maiden show on Friday? AWESOME, so was I! Me and Mary were on the lawn by section 200. Why the f*ck did Bruce keep saying "Scream for me, Philadelphia!"??? Did he not know where he was? :lol:

You're right, though, Amazing show. Hoping to do Fozzy in August and Offspring in September.

[Zarana-X]

The English Beat on June 9th...

[Zarana-X]

Why the f*ck did Bruce keep saying "Scream for me, Philadelphia!"??? Did he not know where he was? :lol:

Hoping to do Fozzy in August and Offspring in September.

He's always done that. I saw them twice in the 80's for Powerslave and Somwhere In Time. He also does that on Live After Death, "Scream for me, Long Beach!"

I saw the Offspring play in a garage back in 1989...

[Shreddhead]

DUDE you were at the Cooper/Maiden show on Friday? AWESOME, so was I! Me and Mary were on the lawn by section 200. Why the f*ck did Bruce keep saying "Scream for me, Philadelphia!"??? Did he not know where he was? :lol:

You're right, though, Amazing show. Hoping to do Fozzy in August and Offspring in September.

HAHA! Dude i could have been like 5 people away from you! I was on the lawn that night and around that area.

It basically felt like a greatest hits show. Im soooo glad they played the Prisoner. The only other song i really would have liked to hear was Hallowed Be Thy Name... but that would have been spoiling me ;)

And who the hell knows what to do about city names. I saw them at the same venue about 5 years ago and he said Philadelphia. But then the next night in Bristow it would have been slightly awkward if he had been saying "Sccccreeam for me Bristow Virginia!" so he went with "Washington".

[Leo656]

Hah, I didn't know Bruce did that all the time.

I would'a loved to see Offspring in '89, but I would'a been like 7. When I saw them in '97 they had AFI and L7 open for them, which was an amazing show. Hung out with them after, great experience. Can't wait to see them in September, it'll be my first time seeing them with Mary, so that's pretty cool.

[Shreddhead]

I didnt even know Offspring was touring. Im gonna have to check this out...

[zkarlette]

wen't to see Metric .

[Leo656]

Check out http://www.offspring.com/tour Amigo!

[Shreddhead]

Just got back from 3 days at the Poconos Blues festival. 3 days of listening to all types of different blues and camping just outside the stage area. Its an annual thing and i try to make it every year. Great music, great people, I highly recommend it to any blues fans here.


And thanks for the Offspring link :D

[Guitar_Raph]

For the 5th time, I saw my friend from MMC/The Voice, Tony Lucca. He even did my favorite tune, True Story (aka Geography song), though it wasn't on the playlist.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/PCenter/Tony%20Lucca/354880ef-8220-4f31-9a0b-1ed0e399aa81_zps4d1ba39f.jpg

[zodiac brave]

my girlfriend and i caught amanda palmer and the grand theft orchestra in austin about a month back. that was a simply AMAZING show.

bout a week or two before that, i caught mega ran, richie branson, powerglove and mc chris here in san antonio. also, an outstanding show, especially since it introduced me to mega ran and richie branson.

[cowabunga14]

I saw Klank with a friend earlier this month and it was an awesome show.

[gobo]

I got to see The Monkees last Thursday! Their performance was even better than the 2001 live DVD of theirs as far as music, but they screwed up lyrics about seven times. For their age though, it was damn impressive.

[Oculus Orbus]

A straight edge kind of festival, plenty of moshing and some real good spanish hardcore bands such as Truth Through Fight. Check it out if you're into SXE HC.

[pannoni1]

For me, it was seeing a Doo-Wop concert last year in which the next youngest person was about 20 years older than me. But I just enjoy sweet, pleasant music since I'm a jukebox owner and love collecting music from that era. It included an original member from the Drifters, Platters, and Coasters along with the girl group The Chiffons, Jay and the Americans, and the Marcels. Ironically, the diner I ate at on the way to the show had no Elvis/Doo Wop in the playlist. It was when people really sang with passion and I inherited this wonderful music from my parents who would listen to oldies on family road trips. That's why I love Phil Spector's Christmas Album so much.

[Mzx10484]

Joe bonamassa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Storm Eagle]

It's actually the only concert I've been to so far, but I went to the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert last Wednesday when it was being held in Manhattan, at the theater at Madison Square Garden. I'm hoping there will be another one in New York that I can easily make it to.

Get this. I told some guy at my job about it a couple of months ago, and he bought his ticket right away. When I asked him if he went, he said he forgot all about it. To think he spent so much money on a ticket for it.

[Weirdo-Warrior]

Last concert I've been to is Swans from NYC, historical band. They played one single date in Italy during this tour. Unfortunately the venue sucked and I couldn't enjoy their performance very much. They had played here in town two years ago and it had been possibly the best concert I've seen in my life.

[Ninjinister]

Second concert ever: Rang in the new year at a Vicci Martinez gig.

[Peanut]

Hitting up the Phoenix tonight for Reel Big Fish. I just found out their set isn't until 10:45, though, which is a huge f*cking bummer. Last time I saw them they had a late set, but the opening act was Less Than Jake, which was fantastic. Tonight they've got Dan Potthast and The Pilfers, of which I'm less than ecstatic.

I'm thinking I'm gonna show up late.

[zkarlette]

Yesterday I went to see MUSE, the music and the show where incredible, had an awesome time.

[RaphaelsIsolation]

Bon Jovi, setlist was amazing.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Saw Pentatonix a few weeks ago. It was fantastic.

Queensryche (LaTorre fronted) at the Emporium in Patchogue, NY (Long Island) March 10th - Awesome show.

[Half Sh3ll Hero]

Yikes... I'm going to have to say my last concert was...

Bone Thugs N Harmony Reunion at the Celebrity Theater on August 18th 2009. Never in my life did I yell so loudly when these guys climbed up on stage. Magic I tell you. Before that one I did a Snoop Dogg (Not Snoop Lion) concert back in '08 in New Mexico. That was also a great concert.

Despite the flak these guys get they put on one hell of a show back in the earlier '00 years.

[A little *too* Raph]

Last concert for me would be Anberlin at House of Blues

Yesterday I went to see MUSE, the music and the show where incredible, had an awesome time.

Where did you see them? I saw them in Cleveland and I agree, it was an awesome show!

[Shreddhead]

Queensryche (LaTorre fronted) at the Emporium in Patchogue, NY (Long Island) March 10th - Awesome show.

Nice, I saw Queensryche back in 07 with Alice cooper.

Anyone going to Coachella? My girlfriend's there now and having a blast.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Lol well does workin them count? If so, then Marianas Trench with Down with Webster opening for them

[Half Sh3ll Hero]

Lol well does workin them count? If so, then Marianas Trench with Down with Webster opening for them

Hell yeah it does! I used to do concert security for this company called TEAM. I had to sit through a few stinkers like a Chris Brown concert and a Beyonce show. But then again I got to see Coheed and Cambria and a few other good shows.

[zak_the_neutrino]

Blink 182 at the Comcast Center in Mansfield , Massachusetts

[ObiWanFan4life]

Damn, the last concert i went to was a John Williams one on July 17th,2010 It was AWESOME.

[Raphael Let It Go]

I saw Rush at Mohegan Sun in CT. It was an awesome show.

[Red Robin]

Celph Titled and Apathy in Cologne, Germany. Must have been April or something. Was pretty nice.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

The last (and incidentally my first ever) concert I saw was Iron Maiden when they came to Dallas last August. Awesome show! My hubby was so stoked he bought the tickets FOUR months in advance, and we both took the entire weekend off from work and spent the weekend at an old friend's home down there.

[discordiatookie]

The Stone Roses at Glasgow Green, 15/06/13, day before my 30th birthday. There was support from Primal Scream, Jake Bugg and The View, and it was magnificent. An amazing atmosphere (Glasgow always has a great crowd, i'm from Aberdeen and our crowd tends to be a bit more reserved) I loved every moment of it!

[Discogod]

Not counting local bands, I'm rather ashamed to say that the last "proper" concert I went to was the V Festival back in 2004. It's a 2-day festival, but I only went for the first day, to see Fountains Of Wayne, N*E*R*D, and most of all, The Pixies.

The older I get, the less I can tolerate the crowds & noise...

[VADER2013]

Pat benatar at wild adventures last week. $15 tickets 5th row, I have seen many people there at a great price. I refuse to pay to sit so far away in a big crowd anymore

[Sofistocat]

Further at Coney Island. I'm not a dead head so I didn't really appreciate it. I did like it when they played "Shakedown Street" Best part of the concert was when it was over and the lights came on, my one buddy blurted out to my other buddy he was starting to go bald. It was said right at a moment when it was REALLY quiet. My buddy, the balding one, hasn't been the same since...


Circa 2010

[AT-Man]

Saw few bands at Tuska festival last weekend, but the best were King Diamond and Urfaust. Finally got to see King live!

[Krutch]

Saw Insane Clown Posse in Bend, Oregon about a month back. Brought two friends along who hated ICP. They both left saying it was one if the best nights of their lives.

[Sofistocat]

If techno counts, over the last 18 months I've seen Mike Shannon in Philly, Derrick May in NYC, Claude Young and Reade Truth in NYC, Mike Huckaby in NYC and Carl Craig in NYC. I'm def a product of the rave scene from the 90's... pull out them glowstix... very j/k!

[Powder]

I saw Rancid last Tuesday. Drove about 200 miles and paid near that in hotel cost just to see them. Ironically the show ticket itself was only $25. :tlol: Anyway, Rancid have been my favorite band for well over a decade, but I never had the opportunity to see them until now, despite how hard I've tried. It was the best ever. They played so tight, I wondered at times if it was lip syncing (totally wasn't). It was at The Fillmore, in Charlotte NC. One hell of a venue, amazing sound. Rancid played 30 songs (Woo!) and their opening act was actually one of the two singers performing cover songs with a different band (Collectively known as Tim Timebomb & Friends). They played stuff from The Specials, NOFX, The Ramones, etc, 13 songs in total. Had such a great night of drinking and dancing with some random chick whose name I regretfully never got. Ears still ringing now, totally worth it. I was front row, after all! Got a rad tour tee and managed to hold onto my ticket too.

Here's some pics.

Cafe Tacuba.
Seen em like 4 times, each time is a blast, even though their newer stuff is much too mellow for extended listening

[Storm Eagle]

I attended the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert in New Jersey last month. Going again to the one happening here in New York in November since they'll have new material.

[Guitar_Raph]

Missed out on seeing Hamson, I mean Hanson. Guess the Big Bad Wolf huffed & puffed & blew my lottery luck down!

But on August 4, I did see my friend for concert #6, Tony Lucca.

Tony did like my MMC shirt.

Ironically, Hanson is playing at Starland Ballroom in November, which is where we saw AFI tonight. Awesome show, crowd kinda blew because he front section was FULL of teenybopper emo chicks with an insane sense of entitlement. At the risk of sounding like a misogynist - or at least, more of one than usual - boobs don't promise you a spot in the front of the stage. Also, if you repeatedly elbow me in the ribs so you can Twitter your Facebooks or whatever on your phone, I'm eventually going to break your phone. If I'm being pushed into you by a mass of people, calling me "f*cking rude" isn't going to make me any more sympathetic to your situation. In fact, you're now the first person I'm going to "accidentally" knock over when a crowd-surfer comes our way. ESPECIALLY if two minutes later you're jamming your bony little elbow directly into my neck like it's no big deal. If you're a 4'11 girl trying to weasel your way through the crowd at a punk show and are annoyed at being crushed, you're at the WRONG show, kid, and trying to whine your way to the front "because I need to be front row because I'm getting crushed!" isn't going to make anyone feel sorry for you. And if you're a 6' tall, 300-lb chick trying to take the entire front row for yourself, have some empathy for those of us, male and female, who aren't so "lucky" as you to be fed from a trough, and take a step to your left when you see people who are obviously in pain, not discomfort but actually in pain.

I swear, this was the most offensively rude crowd I've ever seen at a punk show, and almost ALL the guys were just fine! It was all the chicks who were making everyone miserable. One of them actually tried pulling the "You took my space!" card when the crowd shifted everyone to the left and my wife ended up where some other bitch had been until she took her hand off the rail. Get f*ckin' bent, sister. Unbelievable. Most of them were barely 21, so they obviously don't "get" how these kinds of shows work, but still.

Otherwise, it was a great show. AFI is an amazing life band and their energy was insane. A good mix of old and new stuff, mostly from the "Sing the Sorrow" record but a little of everything. At one point Davey Havok grabbed my hand, stepped on Mary's and walked out into the crowd atop a sea of hands, struck a Christ pose and led the crowd in singing. Amazing moment. I saw them back in '97 but they're still amazing.

Here's a couple pics my wife took:
Davey Havok = HUGE ROCK STAR

Saw Alice Cooper at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank. He always puts on a good show. My wife got to meet him, as she got a VIP ticket. They made me wait, as usual for these kinds of things even couples need to have two separate full-price VIP tickets, which would have cost several hundred dollars more, so I passed. For that much I don't want to just meet Alice Cooper, I want a blowjob from the hot blonde chick who plays guitar for him (Orianthi... you may know her better from Michael Jackson's "This Is It" movie). THAT might be worth a few hundred bucks, a few photos and a poster I don't quite think so. But I'm happy for my wife getting to meet him, she's a much bigger fan of his than I am. I like him though, just not enough to spend hundreds of bucks to meet him.

[Krutch]

Saw Twiztid on September 13th in Toronto. Awesome show, from what I remember. Pretty drunk. But scratch another off the psychopathic bucket list. I just need Vanilla Ice and Zug Izland and I'm all set.

[pingclang]

Went and saw Megadeth and Iron Maiden back in October in Nashville. Really great show despite some sound issues during Megadeth`s first couple of songs. Also, Leo656, awesome pics. I would love to see AFI.

[Leo656]

They're amaaaaaazing.

[CyberCubed]

I've never been to a concert live in my entire life.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Great Big Sea back in October! So friggen awesome!

[pingclang]

Literally just got back from Kreator/Overkill in Washington DC. Overkill destroyed it. Awesome show.

[blindturtle02]

It's been a while, but the last concert I went to was Star Wars in Concert back in 2010. I'm a former band geek, so needless to say it was awesome.

[Chewy5150]

Last band concert I attended was probably Marduk. Last one I played was opening for the band Arsis in July. Also saw the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra perform Danny Elfman/Tim Burton film pieces which was amazing to hear Batman played live along with sketches and killer pictures of the film.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I have actually never been to a music concert ever.

[Mzx10484]

Joe Bonamassa - Dust Bowl

[d3m01iti0n]

Sam Black Church reunion show in December. Been waiting like 15 years to see them!!!

[Prowler]

Iron Maiden back in May/June 2013.

Amazing. They still got it. But man, why couldn't they play "Hallowed Be Thy Name"? I can forgive them for not playing "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter" and I can certainly understand them for not playing "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", but how can you go to a Maiden concert and not listen to "Hallowed Be Thy Name" live?

[A little *too* Raph]

My last concert was Sanctus Real in January. Hopefully I'll be going to several this summer.

Joe Bonamassa - Dust Bowl

I'm pretty jealous of that one. I saw him several years ago in Youngstown, he put on a great show!

[Blossombrooks]

Saw Fall Out Boy and The Pretty Reckless a couple of weeks ago, they were amazing! By complete dumb luck (decided to hang back rather than get crushed at the front) we ended up standing right next to where FOB performed an acoustic set, it was a dream come true, I live and breathe their music.

The Pretty Reckless were brilliant too! Mind officially blown by the perfection of
Taylor's voice. I was too far away for pics of them but got a couple of FOB.

[Shiro Kame]

It was a Hawk Nelson concert. (They were the band that appeared in the movie, "Yours, Mine, and Ours", where they played "Bring Them Out" for a house party, which is one of my favorite songs)

[gettinshell]

Last one was the Carolina Rebellion that was last month.

[pingclang]

Been a while but Kreator and Overkill in D.C. Mindblowingly good.

[plastroncafe]

Last night I went to see the Post-Modern Jukebox.
They were amazing.
You might know them from their Slow-Jam Rendition of the OT Theme:

[Slade]

I've never actually made it to a concert. Every time I had planned on going, something came up or it was in my town and I was out.

[HotNunchuckFury]

I saw Rancid last Tuesday.

Lucky you, sounds like it was an awesome gig. I love Rancid, seen them a few times and they're always so much fun. Last time I even persuaded my Mum to come with us and she loved it! :D

My last gig was Miss May I/Trivium/Killswitch Engage a few months back in Birmingham. It was amazing! Love MMI and KsE, seen them both before and they didn't dissapoint.

Gutted to be missing Download festival this weekend, but got tickets booked to see American Headcharge and Soil in Nottingham in November.

[AT-Man]

A black/death metal concert, where Meti Bhuvah played their first and probably only gig ever. It was glorious!

[musashi-kamiizumi]

I saw Lenka play in Portland last summer. I was supposed to see Jesus Christ Superstar with Brandon Boyd, but the tour was cancelled. :c

[Guitar_Raph]

In the past months, I went to see Nick Jonas, Nick Carter & Tony Lucca.

I couldn't believe someone filmed the Dallas concert on YouTube! If you hear somebody saying "The Geography Song" (referring to his tune True Story), that's me!

AT-9xqvscRU

[Krutch]

It was a Hawk Nelson concert. (They were the band that appeared in the movie, "Yours, Mine, and Ours", where they played "Bring Them Out" for a house party, which is one of my favorite songs)

Trevor from Thousand Foot Krutch cowrote that song with them. Feel free to check them out :D

[mexichrist83]

Went to see Dragonforce and Kamelot in Austin, TX last night. Dragonforce is pretty cheese but I do like them so it was cool to see them live. Even got my CDs signed by Herman Li. Kamelot is one of my top favorite bands so seeing them live is always a blast. The show was at a small venue with an outdoor stage which would have been cool if it wasn't so humid and raining. Although, the rain was only during Dragonforce's set and stopped before Kamelot hit the stage so it wasn't too bad. I also managed to get the new Kamelot album, "Haven", signed by most of the band so now I have more autographed CDs to add to the collection. Good times!

[shuriken]

I saw the Cure at Riot Fest Last September. Good times.

[ToTheNines]

Pennywise and A Wilhelm Scream at The Filmore in Silver Spring back in April.
