Summer concerts: who are you seeing?
 

I went to the Michelle Branch/Dixie Chicks concert last night and am currently all about downloading Dixie Chicks songs on Kazaa. I allllways get that way after a great show! But, last night was fabulous. I was actually impressed with Michelle Branch: she's 19, just put out her second album, writes all of her own music and plays guitar. Plus, she doesn't have a perfectly toned body. I kept thinking, "why isn't she a role model for MORE girls out there? Why Britney Spears?" And of course, the Dixie Chicks just blew the place up. They are great performers, the set was amazing and the playlist was fantastic- all of their best songs (except for You Were Mine) and it was fun that it was in DC. Natalie was like "Washington DC, huh? Hmmmm.... if I'm NOT mistaken, the President of the United States lives here, right?" And she kept mentioning stuff about how they're so hated now. The tour is called "Top Of The World" but after the "incident" they wanted to rename it "The Bottom of the Barrel" tour. :D

I saw Tim McGraw last month in LA and he was incredible. Probably the best concert I've ever been to. I didn't sit down once and Tim was just amazing. And gorgeous, too. Great great show- two and a half hours also! Oh, and Faith made a special surprise appearance on one song! Very cool.

I am seeing Sheryl Crow on Monday and still really want to see the Roc the Mic tour on July 6th: Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Missy Elliot, Snoop Dogg, Fabolous, Sean Paul and Busta Rhymes. I'm seeing Bon Jovi and Goo Goo Dolls on July 27 and American Idols Live on July 28th with my visiting roommate. And I'm flying to Ohio to visit my best friend in early August and we're seeing Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. I'm excited. :)

So, what concerts are you guys seeing this summer? Have you seen any already? How were they? Who's a great performer and who isn't worth your money? (ie: my mom saw Norah Jones and looooves her, but said the concert was pretty mediocre- you could tell she wasn't used to performing in big venues)

im going to see eve6 in a few weeks for 6 bucks

Jimmy Buffett on July 3rd :)

i am going to see jason mraz on 8/13
o.a.r. and the sprite liquid mix tour on 9/1

I saw Better Than Ezra last Friday which I'm still dreaming about....would like to see them again in a few weeks downtown...and I'm sneaking into the Dave show at Alpine.
It's always an adventure w/me.

I don't know about summer concerts but I had my high school graduation at the same place where many concerts are held. ********* c/o 99 rocks!

David Gray 7/25

I'm seeing eminem and 50 cent in a few weeks and reggie and the full effect in august. O.A.R. and 311 are not coming to Detroit this summer:mad:

Lollapalooza August 1st.... it's not every day Jane's Addiction goes back on tour, so ya know I can't pass this up!!!!! I know some of you probably wanna go but can't, so I'll be sure to enjoy it for you http://www.spacespider.net/emo/taunt.gif

I've already gone to see a drum corps show at Cerritos College during the DCI SoCal Tour part 1. July 3rd and 5th is the 2nd SoCal tour which will feature the west coast showing of Phantom Regiment.

I miss drumcorps shows. We used to always go see them over the summer before band camp started. I don't get to go anymore cuz nobody wants to go with me and GMU has no football team (therefore no marching band, either :()

HA HA HA! I remember about 3 or 4 years ago my friend got free tix to see good ole Pat play at pine knob. We were actually gonna go but decided it might not be worth the gas money to drive way out there.

they're playing summerfest next week, go see them :)

My friend and I are driving to Darien Lake on Sunday to see the Roc the Mic concert: 50, Jay-Z, Missy, Fabolous, and Busta Rhymes.

I wanted to see the Justified/Stripped concert but the tickets for the closest concert were $75! :(

BTW: Can anyone PM me on the best way to sneak a camera a concert? Thanks!! ;)
