The_One Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 This is the topic where you post all the bands you've seen live, any upcoming gigs you're going to, and bands you'd like to see live Since I'm relatively new to "gigging", I've only seen a few bands... Metallica (Twice) - The first time I saw them was better than the second, it was an outdoor event, and the atmosphere was brilliant - also, the sound was a lot better. They are such an amazing live act, they don't hit a wrong note. System of a Down - Not exactly a fan, but they are quite innovative for a "nu-metal" band - they were OK I guess. Primal Scream - these guys have been going for years, and they're pretty good, and even better live. Godsmack - they were supporting Metallica the second time I saw them, and they were absolutely awful. You couldn't hear a tune or anything - appalling. This year I'll probably be seeing Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, possibly Metallica again, and anything else that interests me I really want to see Pearl Jam, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, Dave Matthews Band and a load of others - I'll just have to be patient I guess Now your turn. P.S. This is my 1000th post Taken me quite a while to get here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Congrats on 1K. The only concert I've ever been to was a Bobby Brown concert back in the 80's. Whitney Houston and Snap made guest appearances. It was absolutely brilliant. I would like to see Massive Attack live. *slaps Jais* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'jais Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Massive Attack - Front row, amazing concert. They had this big video screen behind the band which showed all kinds of artsy and leftist propaganda stuff - like a big bill on which country spent the most on military hardware, and what all manners of cruise missiles cost. I didn't know the woman who did the vocals to "Teardrop" also played the violin, and I got to see Tricky as well Red Hot Chili Peppers - Most anticipated concert I've been to, ever. Me and my friends were up front at first, but as soon as the band appeared, it turned into a frothing stampede, and my friend's cousin fell down during the rampage and was almost trampled - she went to the hospital along with my friend, and I got to enjoy the concert in pouring rain, alone. Rammstein - Oh yeah, baby. Lots of firework, jumping and S/M sceneplay. A great concert. Metallica - Quite good, but they played too much of their "St. Anger" album. Near the end, however, they broke out their greatest hits, and life was good once again. Coldplay - Everyone I met thought this was a grand concert, but I didn't dig their music all that much, and it was pretty bland to me. The lead singer was very charismatic, though, and had rehearsed some Danish phrases to the crowd's great amusement. Asian Dub Foundation - Awesome concert, even though I didn't get to see the whole thing. Everybody was jumping and screaming. Junkie XL - All I remember from this was that it was, well, very good =) The Cure - Aint nothing like freezing your butt off while enjoying such a good band from 200 meters away. They had very long intros to each track, and even though I've listened to them since, the sound on their records just isn't the same at all. Many more than that, but the rest were either Danish, or just not big enough for anyone to really give a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txa1265 Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Being older (37) I've seen quite a few, but here are some that I'd consider 'epic': - Miles Davis in 1984 and 1986 (he died in '91) - Jaco Pastorius in 1983 (he died in 1987) - Police in 1981 (post Zenyatta) and 1982 (Post Ghost) - Bobby McFerrin in 1985 - one man, one voice ... hard to believe. - Bobby McFerrin in 1991 - Most Disappointing Ever - Take 6 (warm up) sang boring songs for 2 hours, then Bobby basically sat there while Voicestra sang ... we left early ... - Mahavishnu Orchestra 1984 - end of an era in fusion, featuring the US debut of epic bassist Jonas 'Hurricane' Hellborg. - Pat Metheny Group in 1982, before they were the biggest thing in Jazz. - Chick & Wayne & Al - a small tour in 1982 of three greats ...no album or anything - The Who in 1981.

I had a chance to go to see them on 'The Wall' tour way back when ... but wasn't really a big fan, and my tastes had overwhelmingly veered to avant-garde jazz, so I let my friends go without me. And, while I still am not a fan, it is with some perspective that I can see that would have been epic concert - like the Stones 'Start Me Up' tour I passed on (never though much of the stones, either) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy867 Posted January 15, 2004 Share Posted January 15, 2004 The only concert I went to (since it cost me nothing) was KixFest 2000 and I was young and stupid at the time, and actually really really liked Country music, and I saw Phil Vassar, Diamond Rio, Darry Worley and LeAnn Womack. But I wanted to see Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Mudvayne, and Linkin Park when they were doing the Summer Sanitarium last summer, but I had to leave town on a family emergency, so I ended up missing the concert:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
