red hot chili peppers or 311 for me...

I attended Woodstock in 1969. More than a concert, it was a real event.
Other fine concerts I've had the privilege of attending:
Grateful Dead in Egypt
The Beatles in NYC

There are many more to list, but those are the most memorable.

the two greatest concerts i've been to are the only concerts I've been to...Chevelle (w/ Kill Hanah and Liftpoint) and Nickelback (w/ Trapt and Three Days Grace)

best concerts...
depeche mode in Hamburg and Fad Gadget (one of his last concerts, brilliant!!!!!)

Deep Purple & ZZ Top in the Houston Astrodome. First rock concert held there, they damn near blew the roof off the place.

the best concert i have seen was several years ago in dallas i saw zz top in concert the boys from houston tejas put on quite a show by far the best rock concert from that lil ol band from texas:cool:

HIM in Malmö, sadovaja in Uppsala,Blink182 in toronto

Ozzy on the No More Tours Tour. I liked Metallica the first few times I saw them. But they pretty much suck now.

either Rufus Wainwright or The Strokes. front row. Paul McCartney was aesome cus he's a fucking Beatle, but it was kind of a sucky concert in and of itslef.
(this is not the person whp uses this name. I'm her weirdo freind from another dimesnion, aka suburbia)

yeah, i don't go to concerts, especially not cool ones. i'm a geek. you guys know that already.
(ps: this is really sputnik now)

Bob Dylan preforming at Lorelei am Rhine (a spectacular ampitheater on the Rhine River) in Germany.

Styx preforming their Paradise Theater show at the Frankfurt Festhalle in Germany.

Both of those concerts held in the early / mid 1980's.

Immortal beloved (http://nikkademous.tripod.com/immortalbeloved)

the best concert I have been to was Tool in Santa Barbara. Then coming in at a close 2nd was Ween at the Warfield in San Francisco.

Puddle Of mudd is coming here this month and I want to see it so freaking bad but unfortantlly I can't I got my hubby Monster Truck Tickets so he can go see Grave Digger. (it is this weekend)
I seen Metallica,Manson,Poison,slaughter,cinderella,Motle y Crue,perform.. Fallout is still my fatorite

I think the most memorable concert would be the time i saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers in pheonix arizona becuase they put on a great stage show, there music is great, the whole concert arena was dancing, and the flaming lips opened for them and there a great band too! Lalapalooza 2003 was cool too even though its more of an event than a real concert!

Bob Dylan at the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles, CA last July

Bruce Springsteen (with or w/o the E Street Band) on various occasions

Green day
but i am going to afi again on the 12th so i am sure my vote will change.

i saw POD and Linkin Park last night. i was there for POD and it was cool, but not as good as the first time i saw them. maybe it was becuase before it was a more inimate setting and i was in the pit and everyone else was there for them as well. it was still fun though.

Wicked wonka tour last year:)

rolling stones,steve wonder,grand funk railroad,steel pulse,yes,ziggy marley,temptations,steve winwood, and a few more I just can't think of ohh yeah jethro tull,csn&y, and last but not least two front row zeppelin concerts and one of their parties.

Ok no cracks about age

My first GWAR show back in 1990? 89?
Fun show.

Also saw Ani Difranco at Carnagie hall, that was very cool.

I don't think I would've ever heard of GWAR without Beavis and Butthead. :D

Anyway - best show would be either Rush on the Roll the Bones tour or Depeche Mode on the Violator tour.

Gwar crack me up. they came near me once, but I was about 12, and there was no way I was geting into an over 18 show. don't you love the scene with them in empire records?

hard pick for me.
I have to think about it...
i love going to shows. my first was in 84 i was nine.....Cyndi Lauper.....my mom is cool. Then i saw Whitney Houston way back when she could sing. then it was either Madonna or Depech Mode. Madonna in Toronto during the Blonde Ambition tour, where the cops were going to have her arrested on the second night for lewd acts.....that was in 91 I think and she hasn't been back!!!

I've seen Bob Dylan several times over the years, I think the best time was when Santana opened for him......unforgettable. Metallica was good, Beastie Boys awesome, Pink Floyd an all out experience. Steve Miller a party, David Wilcox was drunk when I saw him. I've been to see the Dead a couple times, Love the music though Once summer of that scene was enough for me.........

David Bowie was good, I think I saw Jethro Tull one time, can't rember with who right now...
The Chili Peppers are so good, man. I need to see them again soon.......

Uh that's all I can remember right now.....

Oh yeah, one night we walked onto this ancient blues bar on my 19th birthday and Jeff Healy happened to be playing there......like it was this little dive I can't remember the name of. He was paying a visit to the place he started out at. So cool real intimate jam. Almost forgot that one!

Yup crappy dive in Bay Shore Long Island. IT took me a month before all the red was washed out of my underwear. We were soaked in what I would assume was punch, or some red colored liquid. Very fun, very loud.

I have qeustion about gwar.....do they play music?
I've only seen videos....

Oh yeah the whole rock ensemble. It's more like a musical then a concert. Kinda like Xena on acid.

I find their lyrics a bit distasteful in my older age, but at the time it was fun. One usually doesn't go for the music more then the stage show.

Best concerts.....in 1993 Lenny Kravitz, Blues Traveler, and Dave Matthews Band came to the Woodlands Pavillion ouside of Houston. It was kinda funny though because John Popper was so drunk he continued to sing the same lyric over and over and the band finally just stopped playing! hahahhaha.

Smashing Pumpkins in Lubbock, Texas 1992 I think.
Sting 2001 Dallas
Paul Simon 2000 Dallas
Tori Amos 2001 Dallas

Thinking back, what made them so wonderful was either the company I was with.... or the recreations, which I have grow out of. Well, not all :hula:

Paul McCartney... How "sucky" was the concert? I've got tickets for his next concert here (May 25th).

well, the music was pretty good, when he played beatles stuff, which was most of the time time. the jet and solo stuff was ok. he's just getting old, and he's not an amazing showman anymore. but his stories were adorable, and hey jude was incredible. the whole arena was singing the nanananas. I really can't be very objective, becasue it was my first cocnert, and as I said, he's a fucking Beatle. but it will be great, that much I promise.

Without a doubt, Nine Inch Nails with A Perfect Circle opening for them in Atlanta in 2000. My friend and I were at the very front and center. Came out a little bruised and battered but it was an awesome show. :)

I've only been to one concert; That was several years ago. It was Linkin Park, Hed PE, and Papa Roach.

Ahhh best conert ever?? well i would HAVE to say either INCUBUS (best band ever), Dave matthews band, or Banaroo

Cool :cool:

Been to so many shows it's hard to think of the most memorable.

Kravitz at the Brixton Academy in London '89 was a great show

The Strokes on their 1st tour a few years back was a great show

Uncle Tupelo in St Louis '94 just before they broke up

Prince - Sign 'o' the times tour '87

Meduski Martin Wood - San Francisco - 2001

woah. you went to some damn good shows. what were the strokes like before they got popular?

The Strokes were great they played in a really small club - had lots of energy - Julian looked like he was either very drunk or high on something.

Recently went to MTV's Campus Invasion and saw Hoobastank and Ima Robot.

Ima Robot sucked.

Lostprophets was a no-show, which really ticked me off.

Hoobastank made up for most of the shortfalls...good show by them.

ha, when I went to se the Strokes they took atleast an hour to come on. when they did, Julian was gripping to his mike stand for support. everytime he tried to drink more beer it would spill all over himself and the stage. I saw them at the fleet pavilion, in Boston, which isn't too big. I of cours,e did not notice the size. I was right up front screaming little 12 year old heart out.


silverbullter: the Lostprophets are a screamo boyband. in case you haven't noticed yet. but they're really cute. I wtach all their videos on mute. :D

Its cool that you get to go to shows at 12 years old. A veritable education.

if I had different parents I never would have been able to go to concerts like that. I honestly don't know any other parents who would pay for Strokes tickets, or let their 9 year old buy a Nirvana cd. I swear I learn more from being a music nerd than from ost of my classes at school.

Your parents took you though right? It's not cool if they just called you a cab and said don't wake us when you get back.

my aunt actually took me, not my parents. they would never have let me go to a concert by myself when I was 12. but my aunt was pretty awesome for taking me, and my parents are surprisingly supportive of my obsession. they drive me to buy cds on the day the come out sometimes, and my mom doesn't mind getting fragged to the east village for my favortie record store every time we're in New York. but they avoid taking me to loud concerts themselves.

my favorites are Rush 3 times would love to see them again,
Vanhalen 4 times
INXS twice
Genisis
U2
Simple Minds
Stevie Ray Vaughn

alice cooper in frankfurt germany. christmas 1989

In Flames in Arenan, Stockholm

:woohoo:

I just got back from seeing Paul McCartney and all I can say is that I can die happy now.

:woohoo:

Paul McCartney? Wow! Impressive. Was he good?
I haven't been to many major concerts, but loads of local gigs. My favourite concert is hard to choose. I recently went to see my favourite band ever, Incubus, and they were amazing live, astounding, but I didn't get to stay the whole set, because someone let off gas, and I was ill :(
Thursday are also amazing live.

Allen Vizzutti at Miami U.

Paul McCartney? Wow! Impressive. Was he good?

He was better than good. Not only did he put on a wonderful show, he did some of his classic songs (both Beatles and Wings). Among the songs he played were: Get Back, Back in the USSR, the Long and Winding Road, Helter Skelter, Drive My Car, Eleanor Rigby, Lady Madonna, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Penny Lane, Black Bird, Yesterday, Let it Be, Jet, Live and Let Die, Band on the Run, etc.

I must admit that I did chuckle when he played Hey Jude and the entire stadium sang along with the na na na nas.

But the man's a leyend and with good reason.

I have been to two Zep concerts, the first was awesome, the second was a riot as they played one song and walked off the stage and left the show.
But the first was about 60k people in a stadium and all I remember is the music put me in a state of euphoria.
I wore a black arm band with John henry died and I still miss the sounds they created. Even the in through the outdoor album........

I saw the Shins last week - they were great.

oohh!! the shins rock! have you seen the video for "so says I"? it has commie penguins in it. it makes me happy.

BV: I am so beyond jealous. Led Zeppelin= the sex. Jimmy Page is one of my favorite guitarist ever. they were just too cool.

I must post a pic I have on my pc.....
Wish I had pics of the concerts I went to but I was not in any condition to take pics? ;)

and this one
