What concerts has everyone been to?

Just curious at what everyones taste in music is.

Mine include: Aerosmith, Jimmy Eat World/Paramore, Kanye West/Lupe Fiasco/N.E.R.D., and Warped Tour which has to many bands to mention. I know the Kanye West concert seems out of place, lol, my friend got free tickets.

My favorite would have to be Angels & Airwaves which I saw at Warped Tour. First of all I’m a huge Blink-182 fan so seeing Tom DeLonge in concert was amazing, and I was standing next to my girlfriend then the intense crowd separated us and I got pushed to the absolute front. It was awesome. Also, random fun fact, I went crowd surfing during All Time Low at Warped Tour and it was crazy fun.

Damn…
The onese that stand out are:
Lenny Kravitz 1993
She wants revenge
Interpol
Radiohead
Depeche Mode
Royksop
White Zombie
Pearl Jam
Green Day
Smashing PUmpkins
NIN
Tricky
Sigur Ros
Zero 7
The Roots
Stevie B in 1989

Not many.

Eve6 when I was around 12-13 D: I think Lit opened for them.

Ben Folds twice, at Summerfest in Milwaukee at one of the open/free stages

Rufus Wainwright at Summerfest, also on one of the open/free stages

Stevie Nicks at Summerfest, actual concert seats.

I think that’s it, sadly, unless I’m really blanking on something.

Grace Jones
Tracy Chapman
Sin�ad O’Connor

Those were the only ones I’d care to share.

moving to music forum.

I almost want to make a top 10 albums of 2008 thread, but there really weren’t many records this year (in comparison with 2007) that stand out,
BUT, I have been to lots of concerts this year, though! Notable ones:

– Iron & Wine in Paris

– British Sea Power in Brussels (this was very good, but still not as good as the Brakes gig I went to in 2007)

– The Dillinger Escape Plan (and a couple of grindcore bands, very superb)

– Rockfest festival (small one, which was mainly to check out if Misery Signals are good live or not, and it was allright)

– No Age and I Love Sarah (neat noisy rock <3)

– Melt-Banana (more noise!)

– Adolescents (very lucky to see them live, that was a really nice start of the summer)

The summer was filled with traveling to many festivals, even more than last year’s holidays, it couldn’t have been better.

– Don Caballero, and later that eve a classic series of harsh breakcore sets.

– Later in october went to see M83 here in Antwerp, and it wasn’t bad at all!

– But the Lightning Bolt gig last month is the best concert I’ve ever been to, so far. <3

– And a short while ago I saw Jolie Holland and Sam Amidon, such sweet music, also very lucky for being able to actually go to it!

Couple of upcoming concerts: Tomorrow going to see Deerhoof, should be very awesome, and later this month Abe Vigoda (always with the noise rock), and Phoebe Killdeer. 😀 Ta-dah~

I’ve never been to any concert.

Most of my favourite artists are dead*, but my main reason is that I just don’t like to be around a lot of people, and I don’t like to be out late at night.

*This reminded me that Mitch Mitchell died a few weeks ago.
🙁

Trent, I don’t know a single one of those bands you listed. 🙁

Dave Matthews Band(ew)
Charlie Robison
Green Day
Less Than Jake
Say Anything
My Chemical Romance (3 times, yo)

nice!!

I went to a TMNT live event back in 91…….

I’ve been to three – Nightwish/Paradise Lost, Nightwish/Sonic Syndicate, and Nightwish/Sonata Arctica.

I’ve been to a fair amount of live shows. Some of the more memorable shows include:
KRS-One (Metro)
Wu-Tang Clan (Rock The Bells)
Nas (Rock The Bells)
The Roots (VH1 Honors Tour at House of Blues)
Solillaquists of Sound (Healthy Distrust Tour and multiple shows)
Sage Francis (Multiple shows)
X-144 & SPS (QYDEJ Tour)
Saul Williams (Martyr’s in Chicago)
The Chicagoland Pops Orchestra and Festival Choir/Nobuo Uematsu (Distant Worlds concert in Chicago)
Atmosphere (Multiple times)

I’ve only been to three that I actually wanted to go myself (usually my mother forced me to go to some and my sisters)

Marilyn Manson
The Birthday Massacre
Mindless Self Indulgence

I went to an ACDC Back in Black tribute (free tickets). It was pretty kickass but I don’t really consider that a concert because it was a tribute.

I recently went to go see Gogol Bordello at ROCK CITY in Nottingham UK and it was mindblowing, one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.

I also went Glastonbury this year and a Hightlight of that was Ben Folds 🙂

Oh and i saw British Sea Power at Glasto too, they were awesome too Though the guitarist was a tad smashed!!
