Gotta include a concert thread to this- heres a few I've been to. My 1st was AC/DC and Yngwie Malmsteen in 1985. I was only 15.
hmm well i really haven't been to too many, oh man some punk band like 15yrs ago- i got in free, lol. i've seen david wilcox a few times- awesome! tragically hip about 11yrs ago wich was outside and i had a blast. i bought this pinner for like 5 bucks off someone(which was a bit much then) and i was smokin it and this guy came up and wanted some so i said sure, after the pinner he gave me some acid! it was so much fun. you could tell everyone who had the acid cuz your tongues were green lol! i seen guns and roses and montley crew. i would just die to see ozzy! the old stuff of course. i just missed bob dylan when he came. i was sick! i know there is a couple more times but can't remember. by the way this post sounds~~~~~i'm gettin old!!! i forgot sarah mcglochlan(sp?) and grapes of wrath

Im posting this... I just saw our lady peace this past friday...what a let down. I dunno, I wasnt really sure about them to begin with... The one song, Whatever, was awesome to see live. ill give credit where credits due, but the rest of the show pretty much was blah. Raine seemed to egotistically draw out the non radio songs (apparently much of the crowd didnt know) and the radio songs they played, he sang it seemed with his eyes rolling in the back of his head. i dunno if it was the crowd, or a bad night for raine, but not a good show for AC that night. fuck AC. not a good show for me.. lol..oh well..
wow i love conserts! espesaily the mosh pit! last show i saw was diturbed lets see how many i can remember savatage queensryche type-o skid row pearl jam bon-jovie sole asylem not to mention the big events with two many bands to remember... and the 1000's of local bands down in tampa fuck i whish they had shows up here!

Mushroomhead Soil Glassjaw The Used Switched Tommy Lee took over Drowning Pool's slot so I got to see him in Dallas. Also caught Xfest which consisted of the following bands: Kid Rock Stone Temple Pilots Earshot Trust Company Chevelle Breaking Benjamin Extra Blue Kind Birdmen of Alcatraz Nothing like an all day event of great music and a few joints to make for a great summer day!! Xfest also had porn star boxing with Ron Jermey as the special guest referee. Very cool!!
One of my best concert memories was in 1987 at Redrocks ampith. Metallica was there on the ...and justice for all tour.They played 2 shows. I went the 2nd. The Cult opened for them- and the croud did not like them. They did not sound good at all.It started to spit rain, and people started throwing their SHOES at them. And the accuracy was amazing. Later on after they were booed off, the singer for Metallica said-"man, you fuckers are mean- half of ya got no shoes." I laughed, drank everclear and fruit punch, smoked out, and enjoyed it.That was a good year to see Metallica. Redrocks kicks ass.
Swan, cool Metallica experience, I wish I would've seen a justice show. I was only 7, and into teenage mutant ninja turtles... too bad, not Metal! Shows I've been to: Metallica: San Fran 2000 with Korn and shit Megadeth: Fresno, CA 1997 w/ Sevendust. Hollywood, CA 2001 w/ Endo Pantera: San Jose, CA. 2001 twice. Slayer: Fresno, Ca. 2001 w/ American Headcharge. San Fran 2001 w/ Hatebreed Dream Theater: San Fran, Ca. 2002 Type O Negative: San Fran, Ca. 2000 w/ Simon Sez (AWESOME SHOW!) Incubus: Bakersfield, Ca. 2002 w/ Hoobastank Fear Factory: Fresno, Ca. 2001 (road rage tour) Kittie: Fresno, Ca. 2002 w/ Depswa Those are the headlining bands I've seen. They were all killer shows! Next month is gonna be a good month for shows. Mudvanye, Stone Sour, Hoobastank, Tool, Korn, and others... I can't wait!
alright lol. im not gonna post all the friggen concerts Ive been to..god knows this is a stoner board right? I think thats on of our favorite pastimes..but the top of the noggin says my three favorites: Steve Miller (beautiful outside show, perfect weather lots of green!!!!) Boysetsfire (love to get all rowdy and do some appropriate ass kickin) Incubus. (need I say?)
Man, my favorite all time concert is actually a pearl jam bootleg. its from like a 98 tour and eddie vedder gets hit by a coin and fucking yells at the cunt who threw it at him. It's a fucking awesome concert. Speaking of which all pearl jam bootleg concerts are fucking fantastic to listen to when bent cause the music seems magical. Also the Counting Crows "Live in NY" cd' has a live concert on the second cd that is fucking the greatest concert. Adam does this addon to Round Here and the song is so sad.. Ben Harper's Live From Mars, is another fucking incredibly insane concert. Every song you feel the music. But yeah more to the point. I saw No Doubt in concert cause my g/f wanted to. i didnt particularly like no doubt at the time but the concert was fucking excellent. Good crowd, good music and in the immortal stylings of Bob Marley, A nicely rolled spliff to smoke.
lucky all you that live in concert central!!! i've seen: crash test dummies, tradically hip, bob dylan, def leppard, wild strawberries, 54-40, the kilts, great big sea, the irish descendents, the killjoys, treble charger, solan, i mother earth, our lady peace i think there's more - some of them so crappy i wouldn't want to remember. our campus pub had a band every thursday night - so some were forgotten at the bottom of a pitcher.

Yeah, hehehe, like I said, I'm showing my age, but I've seen some great shows. One of my personal favorites was seeing Pink Floyd in 1972. Floyd was touring to promote their "Obscured By Clouds" album, or maybe it was "Meddle." Try to imagine Pink Floyd playing in a 3500 seat hall with what was at the time their state of the art quadraphonic sound system. They had speaker stacks in the back corners of the hall as well as the usual front left and right. Their sound guys would do these incredible quadraphonic pans that would swirl around and really get into your head and mess with your mind. Everybody there was totally ripped. I somehow got a seat on the front row and at one point, they were putting all this smoke out of a big tube on the stage right in front of me and the drummer set this big gong behind his kit on fire and the flames were going up into the backstage curtains. I thought that Pink Floyd was trying to kill me!! It was a great show, unforgettable...`
Guarantee I can't remeber them all, but here's a few. Phish Allman Bros. Blues Traveler MOE. Strangefolk Bob Dylan The Other Ones(last week in Albany, NY)
That musta been sumpthin seeing floyd in'72- i was 3. thats cool they experemented with sound that much, and like that, what a story! my fav. show has gotta be iron maiden, seen them in 86, 92, 99, and forth row in 01. 01' was the best show, for me.
