Concerts

What was the best concert you've ever attended? Or your best 3 to make it a lil easier!

Mine are:

Mayhem at the Whiskey a go-go.

Iron Maiden, Brave New Wold tour ... Saw them 3 times in 1 week! God I was deaf after that third show! Haha.

Arch Enemy, Hate Eternal, Origin and Nile at the Key Club.

Rob Zombie/Korn for Rock and Garth Brooks for Country ;)...ha...I love music.

I saw the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Saturday.
It would rank amongst my favorites.

Karen

U2, Vertigo Tour, LA, Nov 05 (Larry's birthday)

concerts I wish I could have attended:
Live Aid, London, 1985
Queen, It's a Kind of Magic Tour, Wembley, 1986

311 Day 2004 in New Orleans

6 hours, 64 songs, amazing.

Best: Dave Matthews Band Central Park Concert. 100,000 people in NYCs Central Park losing their minds!

Honorable Mention: Summer Sanitarium (Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Metallica) at Giants Stadium, Blink 182/Green Day at MSG, Dave Matthews Band at MSG when James Brown came out to sing on Sex Machine, Art Alexakis from Everclear doing a solo, acoustic show for 100 people in NYC.

So many more!!

Opeth/DevilDriver - Columbus OH 2004

Opeth/Dark Tranquility - Pittsburgh PA 2006

Slayer @ Warner Theatre in DC 1987

Voivod/Soundgarden/Faith No More @ The Bayou in DC(the night Mayor Barry got busted for crack)


Opeth is jawdropping live - no theatrics at all to speak of just radiant talent and tightness in execution.

The tightest band I've ever seen was Shadows Fall. They were a last minute opener for Arch Enemy at the second show they played in California. They TOTALLY blew Arch Enemy off the stage! I still wish I could have seen Faith No More back in the day. I missed a chance to see Mr. Bungle too :(

I've seen alot of great concerts, but the best was probably when I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan back in '87 from the front row of the Follenger Auditorium in Champaign/Urbana.

<-- Awesome stuff - Patton is the man.

Peeping Tom should appease your Bungle-jones (in a California kinda way). Of course most stuff he does is gold - Tomahawk etc. I heard he was touring with Amon Tobin recently - THAT would have been a killer set.

1. Kiss Slaughter Winger Alpine Valley, WI
2. AC/DC Cedar Rapids, IA
3. Aerosmith Anchorage, Alaska

:rockon::partyon:


Honorable mention: Jewel (just because shes hot in person LOL)

1. Merry Mayhem Tour - Alliant Energy Center (My first concert, Soil, Mudvayne, Rob Zombie, and Ozzy)

2. Ozzfest 2005 -Alpine Valley

No third concert :( , I'm broke, but going to another one....sometime! :D

1. Taking Back Sunday, Cypress Hill, Blink 182

2. Moneen, Taking Back Sunday, Saves the Day

Have a couple that come to mind first hands down is Tori amos,the ohter half of the show also gets my vote for worst live show Alanis morrisete Pine knob (aka Gte engery theater). An evening with Sting (castle farms charlavoix mi 1988) B.B King and Koko Taylor.Mellisa Etheridge, U2.

I would say my favorite concert ever attended was when my hubby took me to see Trans Siberian Orchestra. Wow, they can put on a show!

Ozzfest 2000 (had front row:D )


Rob Zombie puts on a great show everytime I see him

Last years sounds of the underground tour was amazing
ill be at both tours this year. This summer is going to rock:partyon:

Wow...now I know im getting old. I dont know 95% of the groups all of you have seen, and I cant remember half of the concerts i've been too. But the ones I can remember that I enjoyed were.....

Steve Miller Band (sometime in the 70's)
REO Speedwagon
ELO
Supertramp

Though it was not my favorite, It was a very memorable one. While stationed in Korea, Air Supply did a free concert for the military and I got to help set up stage for them and meet the band.

Am I old or what? lol

Judy...I'm sooooo jealous.

My best concert ever was NIN on March 14, 2006.
