In the spirit of Band Week, I'm wondering what bands you've seen live?
I've seen tons of bands at Warped Tour the past three or four years, and I'm going again this year. In particular, Reel Big Fish.
I've also seen Hoobastank and Velvet Revolver live at Jones Beach.
And more recently, I saw five bands in Conneticut, including Anarbor and Sparks the Rescue.
The only one I've been to is last year's DC101 Chili Cook off. There was a decided lack of Chili. But they had Offspring, Puddle of Mudd, and Papa Roach, amongst others, so it was good awesome spectacular THE BEST FUCKING EVENT OF MY LIFE!
I saw a Coldplay concert over last summer-
/me is killed.
I also saw a Death Cab For Cutie show, where, coincidentally, Ra Ra Riot was opening for them. Great show.
Any that were important? uh let's see and uh...

I KNOW RIGHT
Calum Graham - you won't know him, but seeing as he's possibly signing with Disney, I just have to say EVERYONE WILL and he'll be a sell out
AC/DC - best concert I've been to
Warped Tour - a few too many times
Styx, Kenny Rogers, Heart - all mediocre and from washed up bands. Still somewhat satisfying.
been to several concerts with like a few bands each, nonpoint, shine down, trapt, mudvayne; another animal, cabo, ekotren, hellyeah, papa roach, 3 days grace, another animal, staind, and THE BEACHBOYS (intercourse ing epic) (might be forgetting a few)

the beachboys being the two that aren't dead
My town hosts a series of free concerts every Tuesday of every summer. It's been bands like America, Foreigner, Blue Oyster Cult, The Machine (Pink Floyd tribute band), and much, MUCH more. Check it out by googling Tuesday in the Park Artpark.
I saw Fergie perform maybe one song at a tiny mini-concert thing literally just because I could. I don't especially care for her music, but I appreciate her--at least apparent--talent and figured it'd be cool to see a famous person.
I also saw Dennis Diken (spelling?) (drummer of The Smithereens) with Bell Sound. I haven't heard much of The Smithereens' music, but my dad likes them and the concert was good.
My favorite concert would have to have been by Exorbitance. They're a hometown melodic death metal band. I used to know one of their guitarist's sisters. It was loud, crowded, and awesome. Check 'em out: http://www.myspace.com/exorbitance00 (http://www.myspace.com/exorbitance00) There was another awesome band that came on the stage after them though, and they were great too. They're called Fight Money and they're hardcore punk, thrash metal, and pretty much metalcore. Check them out too: http://www.myspace.com/fightmoney (http://www.myspace.com/fightmoney)
Saw Streetlight Manifesto about 4 times, all at the Metro in Chicago. Seeing them again on July 2. Also, Warped Tour Tinley Park last year and this one.

Also going to see Adam Lambert at the Glam Nation Tour.
Scattered shows here and there, not a ton of big bands. I've worked the set-up for a few, though.
I am going to Red, White, and Boom (http://www.kcstarlight.com/concerts/red,_white_and_boom.aspx) this year. But only for BNL. During the other bands I'll be drinking.
