Elvish Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I know some of us have been to more concerts than we can count, but list a few of them and your general opinion. -Allman Brothers (twice) -Bob Dylan -Black Crowes (just before the break up - good show) -Everclear -Filter -Godsmack (a completely different experience for me! I'd been to many concerts but this one must have been my first official hard rock concert. Lots of flashing of devil horns and boobies. I did not do that. I did, however, crowd surf for the first {and possibly last} time) -Jonny Lang (so talented, but an odd venue. It was a nice sit-down theatre and the crowd was really subdued. Not what I'm used to (especially after Godsmack!) -Kenny Wayne Sheppard Band (Halloween night 1996, I was in full kitty cat costume - great experience) -Little River Band -Susan Tedeschi (this girl rocks, plain and simple) -Willie Nelson (hmmm, so far. . . 6 times, I think? I love Willie!) -3 Doors Down My favorite was Los Lonely Boys. They're the best live act I've ever seen - and this list isn't all-inclusive, just all I can recall at the moment!

XXX Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Here are some of the bands I've seen: Roxy Music Chris Isaak David Sylvian Rush (2 times) Depeche Mode (3 times) Death In June w/ Boyd Rice and friends Duran Duran The Pet Shop Boys Berlin w/ The Psychedelic Furs The Doheny Jazz And Blues Festival There's some more, but these are the standouts from what I recall. I can't really decide which is the best I've seen, which is why I intentionally listed these bands. I've also been togigs thrown by local Garage and Punk bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet_Jane Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 I love my old punks: The Damned (10 times) The Buzzcocks (3 times) Dead Kennedys Stiff Little Fingers Stranglers (Hugh Cornwall's last tour with them) And the great post punk 80s: The Cure, Jesus & Mary Chain (3 times), Psychedelic Furs (3 times) For modern bands, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are kings. Best gigs experiences have to be my two Glastonburys (1992 and 2004) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Punk Schmunk. I think a good concert would be ELO. Or Pink Floyd. The Wall is something I am going to regret not being alive for for the rest of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 God, I'm jealous of so many people right now, Gillian gets to have the new C.D. a day earlier than me, and you live in a town that they're playing in, and I'm gonna have to sneak into across the freakin' border just to see 'em play.

scott Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Well I've got this other friend who's 18, so we can get him to give us a lift, and he doesn't have to worry about a lot of crap since he's a legal adult, and lets just say that we have this one 'special' car that we bought for like 100 bucks, but it has extra *ahem* trunk space.
