[JonInKC]

I already posted the more famous acts I've seen, now I'm going to list ones that people may be less familiar with. I want to see if anyone else recognizes the names.

I don't want to start a brawl or anything, but are rap concerts actually good? All the ones I've seen have been terrible, but then again I don't enjoy rap that much in the first place. It just seems like a lot of album stuff would be harder to replicate well in a live setting (and this is the case in my personal experience).

Though, Outkast was good live, but its Outkast, I tend to think they probably out-artist the majority of rappers.

Well, I got to see Run-DMC, and for free no less. I loved it, but then most of the songs I knew by heart anyway. Run-DMC pretty much just had rythym tracks for their songs, and Jay would scratch and stuff.

[SWTXBelle]

I went to an Aerosmith/Motley Crue concert with my daughter this Nov.
Before that, back in the day:
Blue Oyster Cult
Styx
Heart
REO Speedwagon
Chicago
Foghat
. . . I don't really like concerts, truth be told.
