Prior to that, I saw Styx and REO Speedwagon a couple of years ago (yeah, I love my eighties music) and I've gone to a couple HFStivals. I'm taking my daughters to The I Heart Music Festival and I expect that will be a lot of fun! |
I got to see the Blind Boys of Alabama last year, and that was fairly awesome.

Adding one more to the list!
The Arctic Monkeys Jukebox the Ghost Fireworks (twice, I really like them) Newfound Glory The Wonder Years Man Overboard Stars (twice) Alanis Morissette The Lumineers Patty Griffin The Head & The Heart The Postal Service |
I work as a stagehand in Cincinnati, so I get paid to see most of the bands that come through town. Recently I worked the Heart Concert with Jason Bonham and the Led Zepplin Experience....great show.
Also this summer we've had Rush, Jonas Brothers, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Matchbox 20 with Goo Goo Dolls (great show also), we just had today Blake Shelton. Jimmy Buffett course every year. We had a great throw back to the 1990s wih LL Cool J, Slick Rick, Doug E Fresh, and De La Soul.... Also saw Dave Matthews Band, Bare Naked Ladies. The best two shows I've worked in my opinion were the Cher concert and the Elton John/Billy Joel concert. Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers were other really good shows to watch. BG |
So many concerts..
My dad especially is really into music so I have been going to concerts since I was a little girl...so the ones I've been to with my parents include:
Crosby stills and nash Paul McCartney ( most recently last month, he was amazing!) Rolling Stones Fleetwood Mac Beach Boys New York Dolls Pixies X2 Dolly Parton ( LOVE her) Ones that I have been to with my dad or my friends....( my dad is still my # 1 concert buddy) In no particular order Green day X3 No Doubt X 5 ( Favorite Band Ever) Gwen Stefani X 3 Old 97's X 3 Avett Brothers X2 Tom Petty Goo Goo Dolls Sublime with Rome Pink Britney Spears Live Sugar Ray Collective Soul Garbage Mighty Mighty Bosstones Can you tell I am a child of the 90's/early 00's?? There are others that I can't remember as I went to the warped tour and other outdoor festivals back in high school and saw multiple bands. Concerts are one of my favorite activities!! |
Just to show how very old I am - the best live performance I've ever seen is Jimi Hendrix. Way too cool....and I remember it vividly to this day.
|
I saw Beyoncé this weekend! She was amazing. LOVED IT.
|
Jimmy Buffet in KC, St.Louis, Cincinnati, and the Gulf Shores BP oil spill concert,
Garth Brooks in 1992(?) They Might Be Giants Big Bad Voodoo Daddy And last but not least, Warrant, Firehouse, and Trixter. A 1990s hairband triple feature. |
Saw Nicki last year with Wayne & Travis Barker. It was awesome. Can agree that Nicki puts on a great live show.
I just realized how I NEVER updated this when I went to Home & Home with Jay-Z/Eminem at Comerica Park (yes, THAT show that was the last time Em toured and only one of like 4 dates.) That is probably my biggest concert WIN of recent years. Like, the concert was so rare that the shirt I bought is now being sold on eBay as a collectors item for $300 (there are no more.) Coming up this year: Justin Timberlake on 12/12. Miguel/Future/2Chanz/Drake also coming in August. Oh lawd Jesus it's a fahr. |
Concerts I've been to:
Kelly Clarkson American Idol season with Chris Daughtry Nickelback Carrie Underwood No Doubt with Paramore opening Maroon 5 with Sarah Bareilles and Counting Crows opening Christina Aguleira Trans-Siberian Orchestra x2 Justin Timberlake with Good Charlotte opening Bon Jovi with Kid Rock opening Straight No Chaser x2 Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias The Package Tour-Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees and New Kids on the Block Bruno Mars My mom liked taking me to concerts as a kid so she wouldn't look like "a creepy mom there all by herself"...I was totally okay with this! The last two were this summer. |
Hmmm, let's see:
I'll get the big stinker out of the way first: Milli Vanilli. Someone? Owes me $23. Others, in no particular order: *Dave Matthews Band (4 times. Macy Gray was the opener once) *Aretha Franklin *Rihanna (free tickets a couple of months ago) *Better than Ezra *Wale (at Georgetown's Midnight Madness a couple of years ago) *Erykah Badu (was the entertainment at a fancy party) *Frankie Beverly and Maze (Howard Hewett was the opener. This was one of the best shows I've ever seen.) *Maroon 5 (twice) *Rob Thomas (Beth Hart was the opener) *Pointer Sisters (4 times. Once at a July 4th concert, and 3x because a cousin knows them) *Stevie Wonder (was so awesome!!!) *Jason Mraz *Lilith Fair 199...7?: Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Liz Phair, Indigo Girls *New Edition, Bobby Brown (oh, middle school.) *Ready for the World and Club Nouveau (oh, elementary school.) *Wyclef Jean (was the entertainment at an inaugural ball) *Bill Clinton's 1992 inaugural concert; I only remember LL Cool J and David Sanborn *The first American Idol concert (Kelly Clarkson) I'm sure there are others, but that's what comes to mind. |

Bumping because reading threads like this is more fun than seeing an endless array of mindless spam...and because I saw Tesla, Styx, and Def Leppard in concert last night (Awesome!) and am excited about seeing Motley Crue & Alice Cooper next month!

Let's go WAY BACK
My first concert ever, as a kid, was Randy Travis/Alan Jackson when Alan was brand new on the scene. Brooks and Dunn Toby Keith Big and Rich Gretchen Wilson Dierks Bentley Marty Stewart Motley Crue 3 Doors Down Tom Petty Audioslave Cowboy Mouth Straight No Chaser DC Talk Audio Adrenaline Newsboys Third Day Skillet Building 429 Tenth Ave North Jars of Clay Drew Holcomb Lots others during music festivals, but these are the big names. Third Day, Newsboys and Skillet are by far my favorites. I volunteer with merchandise booths frequently for Third Day and Newsboys and will be doing my first volunteer concert for TobyMac in November. (http://www.loopevents.org/) for those of you into christian music and want to see a show for "free" by volunteering. |

|
Awesome!
|
I'd like to add Grace Jones to my list. :)
|
Styx

Blue Oyster Cult I do regret not going to Elvis Presley (I was too cool) and Stevie Wonder with the Rolling Stones (just could not afford the $5 ticket, I had no money). |
