I've never been to a concert ;_;

I want to, but the bands and artists I like don't exactly tour around here/in this country/at all.


My best chance is either The Mars Volta or Venetian Snares, and even then...I don't know if I should go to a VS live show.  It looks amazing on Youtube, but it also looks packed and quite drug-heavy.  In some videos Aaron Funk himself is getting drunk and smoking something possibly illegal while mixing.

we don't get much around here either, aside from the generic pop poop that everyone seems to flock to.

had a great time singing along to classic elton john.

I've been to a lot of local concerts (too many to count), but I have seen BB King live, as well as Brian May. And in a week I'm going to ACL (Gnarls Barkley, Beck, MGMT, Robert Plant, etc.).

Jono2

oh yeah, and when i went to green day, their opener was My Chemical Romance... pre-emo my chemical romance (they were actually pretty good).

I wish I could see Elton John live. That'd be amazing. Unfortunately, as musical of a person as I am, I've never been to a single live show other than one that was at my school (some band called Chalice doing covers of Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd and some other bands I don't care about). I wanted so badly to see Van Halen, but the ticket prices were outrageous.

I plan to go to Moondance Jam eventually. It's a rock festival that takes place every summer in Walker, MN (about a 3 hour drive from home...not too bad). It lasts a few days. The lineup for the most recent Moondance, that I unfortunately missed, was:

QuoteCrosby, Stills & Nash, Poison, Sammy Hagar & The Wabos, STYX, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Creedence Clearwater Revisited, Sweet, Great White, The Guess Who, Boz Scaggs, Sebastian Bach, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Gear Daddies, Otis Day and the Knights, Led Zepagain

Needless to say, I was disappointed that I missed it. I love CNY, The Guess Who, Sweet, CCR, and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Styx is mildly interesting as well. But most important is that I missed the best Led Zeppelin cover band on Earth.

Haven't been to any live concerts by big bands, but I have some live DVDs lying around.

I really want to see Coldplay (yes I want to see Coldplay) in concert, but the tickets are expensive.  :-\

My cousin was at Reading Rock Festival when My Chemical Romance got booed off the stage. I'm told it was a very gorgeous sight.

I've been to two concerts so far and both of them were this year. I went to see Rush in July, which was really good. They played a ton of songs, but I was pretty far back from the stage.

I also saw Def Leppard in August, they were awesome. I was ten rows from the front and they knew people brought cameras so they would go up to the front of the stage a lot. :) Billy Idol also opened for them, which wasn't bad.

I have had erotic fantasies about the Wacken metal festival in Germany. Largest open air metal festival on the planet. Unfortunately, I do not live in Germany. I'll make it happen someday.

Here in New York, I've been to several concerts for local bands. They're fun, but they're rarely anything special.
"I like cigarettes, Mrs. Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind-and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression..."

Went to They Might Be Giants in Chicago last November. Was in balcony. Then, twice within the last year I saw Streetlight Manifesto, again Chicago at the Metro. Front row both times, it kicked ass and I would recommend to anyone.

I wanna see Four Year Strong and maybe even Fall Out Boy but the latter would be infested with middle school girls. The former would kick ass.


My band has also performed a couple shows but we still kind of suck. Our friends always go though. ::)
