Re: Re: Re: Who have you seen in concert?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Who have you seen in concert?
 

Not yet..better hurry
I got mine on ticketmaster
2 days , Nov 8th and 9th

Sorry..maybe the mod can merge them..

I've got way too many to name, but some highlights?

First ever concert: Semisonic. The only reason we went was that we had gotten free tickets.

Band I've seen the most times, not counting local bands because that would be cheating (isht, I've seen the Profits at least eight times this summer alone): Reel Big Fish (eight at last count?), which is funny since I haven't seen them in yeeeeeeears. We used to see them at least once a year at Summerfest for many years, though.

Live show highlight: Seeing the Ataris in San Jose at age 16 -- dancing on stage with Kris Roe to "San Dimas High School Football Rules" is every teenage punk rock girl's dream.

The weirdest combination of artists in one show: Everclear, Soul Coughing, and Redman. Totally surreal.

Biggest names: Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.

Always put on a good show: Motion City Soundtrack, Mason Jennings, Army of Freshmen (they put tons of energy into it and really get the crowd going).

Almost got in catfights at: Save Ferris, John Mayer, the Starting Line.

Hit or Miss: Appleseed Cast (once, they were fantastic; the second time, really blah).

I've been to many concerts but nothing too major. I did however go to a BTE show the other weekend and I got to go backstage and hang, it was great. The only reason I got backstage was because a client of mine has a friend who knows the guys, or is married to one of them or something. I didn't get a chance to talk to them anyway but I got to drink and hang with hot womens!


HOT WOMENS I SAY.

Elton John
Billy Joel
Garth Brooks
Kenny Chesney
Toby Keith
The Eagles- Hell Freezes over Tour
Sugar Ray
and everyone from Tone Loc to Eden's Crush at free stuff in town.

I totally forgot I saw Blink 182 and Silverchair together in concert.

Dee

My first concert ever was Run D MC with the Beastie Boys in Madison Square Garden. I was probably about 16 and a huge fight broke out. Very Scary. The Beastie Boys were sooooo nasty. My brother took me to the concert after convincing my parents that it would be ok. lol

Recently I saw Janet Jackson's All for You tour at the Garden, much calmer-she is an amazing performer. I have also seen Prince in concert at the Garden when I was in college (obviously I used to be a NYer)

I have also seen a few Christian artists, my favorite of whom was Carman and that was in Philly.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood (that was an interesting concert at age 13)
Depeche Mode
George Michael
Pushmonkey
Don Henley
Bruce Hornsby
Harry Conick Jr.
Kelly Clarkson (2 weeks ago-she rocks!)

Styx
REM--most awesome concert ever! this was the first one we took my daughter to!
RUSH
Elton John
Cheap Trick ( hubby used to open for them years ago!)

and on a different level...

Izthak Perlman--seriously...

When did you see them? The concert I went to was at The Fox in Atlanta in '86. Michael Stipe started twirling, and spun off into the wings and didn't return. The rest of the band looked startled, said "This is a song for the surfers" and played an instrumental. At that time, they rarely played Radio Free Europe in concert because they didn't like that it was the only song the audience knew. I left without hearing it -- disappointed!

OOoohh! I bet he's got some stories to tell! I love those guys. :cool:

Janet Jackson
Aerosmith (twice)
Meatloaf
Evanescence
Michelle Branch



There have been a groups I've wanted to see but I just didn't have the time or money (or someone to go with). I missed out on Linkin Park, Aerosmith and a few others that I can't think of right now.
