Best concert you have been too??

me-n-my guys · Aug 22, 2005

My first concert-Bob Seger. I had SUCH a crush on him in school & actually cried when he came out, like those girls in the Beatles videos. I've seen him twice, & still love his music.
Don Henley was good, too. It was the first time I heard that powerful song, "New York Minute".

I would say my favorite concert was the Eagles in 2002 in Louisville, KY, and 2004 in St. Louis, MO

Other good ones I have been to are
Alice Cooper - Welcome to my Nightmare Tour
Garth Brooks in 1995 (I think)
Billy Joel wayyy back in like 1980 or something like that.
Colin Raye in 1993
Bruce Springsteen in 2002 and 2004 (nice butt!)
ZZ Top
Lynyrd Skynyrd is great in concert.

I love concerts!!!

i am concidering going to londo ON. canada for the backstreet concert next month, the only bad thing the town is literally 60 miles away, but it takes 4 freaking hours to get there because you have to drive around lake erie. now if they could only get that ferry idea up and running my life would be a lot easier and cheaper.

wow, go to one backstreet concert and you turn into a rabid fan.

That's the truth! My friend made me go to my first one (I didn't even think I liked them) in 1998, and like I said, I've now been to about 7! Once you start there's no turning back!!!

My best concert would have to be The Corrs, at the Point in Dublin

Followed shortly by Alanis Morissette, at the Brixton Academy in London... I have also been to numerous other Corrs concerts - all great

Followed by Oasis, at Knebworth Park - amazing amount of people but most of them were drunk or druggies

And... I have enjoyed a few Neil Diamond concerts in my time...

He's just great!

I am sooooo Jealous, I want to see the Corrs badly here. Everytime they come here, their concerts sell out quickly. yes a metal head that loves the Corrs...

To hear thousands of people shout "Die" over and over during Creeping Death will send chills up and down every part of your body!

It's so amazing to hear their layered, complex melodies, rockin' rifts and impossible solos live, right in front of you. Those guys are so together, and so "on", they're in a class of their own. They are rock Gods

You can not go to a Metallica concert and leave without becoming a fan.

How I envy you Girls.....

....

Why I live so faaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr??????????

well MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE OF COURSE!!!!

1:30am I got to go backstage and front row as well!!! Heck I was even on the stage!!!!!!!!!

Then again the concert was on TV.

whisky'sdad · Aug 23, 2005

Van Halen 1992 at The Great Western Forum in LA.

I won 2 backstage passes, 2 tickets to the show and an autographed guitar. It was a radio contest and I won it. The date had to be postponed because it was right at the time of the Rodney King riots.

I don't have the guitar anymore (long story) but I still have the picture they took of us backstage.

Oh, did I mention it was the first concert I ever went to??

Then, I saw The Untouchables (ska band) about 1995 in San Diego. I got to meet the band later backstage.

Easily, EASILY, Ani DiFranco at the Vic early this year.

Where abouts are you? They have a new album out in September (back to their original routes, like Forgiven Not Forgotten) So I expect a tour/promotion will happen towards the end of 2005 early 2006

I have seen them far too many times, and met them all.... hehe

During a coupple songs he plays with lazers on his fingers!

I forgot to mention Steve Vai. I saw him in the spring too and he was amazing! If you like him you should check out the G3 tour which includes Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani. It's unbelieveable how talented these guys are.

Goo Goo Dolls opened up, and Johnny Rzeznick is so easy on the eyes! Then Bon Jovi did an acoustic set (I love acoustic!), then the full electric show. I could barely speak the next couple of days! Lots and lots of fun.
I used to go to concerts where you could say that if you didn't come home with bruises, you didn't have fun, but I've kinda calmed down some since then!

The Bounce tour was awesome!!

AWESOME!!! Was this Van Halen or Van Haggar era?

turtlecat · Aug 24, 2005

Mmh.. Nightwish in Cleveland, closely followed by blue man group feat. Tracey Bonham and Venus hum.. aww.. .. that was the best summer evar!

Though, I am proud to say that I went to 1998's lillith fair, and horde concerts and both were good.

First time I'd ever heard tracey bonham was there!

It was Sammy Hagar.

I am really envying the one who got to see Pink Floyd, although I would love to see Floyd with Waters, but they were awesome a few months back when they reunited.

Best concert I went to was Aerosmith Honkin On BOBO Tour. We were at the Orlando showing thats on DVD, Aerosmith:you gotta move dvd. They all had so much energy plus I was really close up and was amazed.

Other great concerts I seen

*Tom Petty and the HeartBreakers (the man is awesome)
*Styx *without dennise de'young and it was still awesome :-) *lovin shaw*
*Heart *ann's voice is amazing*
*Matchbox Twenty *rob had longer hair and was hott!* :-) oh he sang awesomely

anyways everyone looks at me crazy when I tell them the type of music I like because I am 22, and suppose to like pop or rap I guess. :-)

Fast Crew earlier this year. It was great!

mommalori · Oct 20, 2005

George Strait Feb, 2003--- My one and only George concert since he retired recently

I cried all night when I found out....

KitEKats4Eva! · Oct 20, 2005

There's two...Midnight Oil in 1991, and Hothouse Flowers the same year.

I wasn't going to go but I got free tickets and it turned out to be so great I bought a T-shirt, too. They are consummate musicians and it was a very entertaining show!

Oh, and Silverchair a few years ago - that was amazing. It was an open-air concert and it was raining cats and dogs that night. I've never been so wet, looked like I'd been tossed into a swimming pool with all my clothes on, but jeepers it was a great concert - they said they were going to put on an extra good show cos of the weather, and didn't they ever!!

Best concert you have been too??
