Whats the last concert you went to? the best?

[katyowns]

On saturday I went up to Northampton, MA and saw my favorite band of all time, They Might Be Giants, play the best venue in the WORLD, The Iron Horse music hall.

It was such an insanely good show, and I'm still feeling good.


So, I would say the last concert I went to was the best. Followed closely 2nd by The Gossip a couple years back at The Living Room in Providence, RI.

[Cannaman1ac]

i saw godsmack and metallica a couple years ago and lars and sully did a drum combo together that seemed to go on forever, i was high so i dunno how long it was but it was pretty sick...think it was in boston

[Divadish]

Saw Paul Simon at Manchester last year , he's getting on but has still got it fu"*in brilliant

[thcbongman]

I saw Sunset Rubdown on the 2nd. One of the best shows I ever seen.

And I'm seeing The Clientele tonight!

[geonagual]

Last show was still the Horrorpops at the house of blues. Next show will be the Hootenanny...Social Distortion, Nekromantix, Lee Rocker, Supersuckers, Throw Rag..etc...etc

[DivisionBell]

REO Speedwagon

[SonicBloom]

I saw Bright Eyes last night. So that was it.

The best was probably Cursive, any of the five times I've seen them. I've been to hundreds of shows though, so if I think of one that was better, I'll come back to the thread.

[yoda]

never been to a concert :(

blues traveler played around me last year on memorial day at some little festival, but it wasnt a concert. saw a few songs by them, that was cool. going to see 311 and matisyahu soon.

[VaporDaddy]

RATM and Helmet new years eve about 1993 I think. It was sick.

[Wicked Rebel]

The last and best concert I've been to was 311 on 9/11 at Smirnoff in Dallas in '05. Everyone was smoking and 311 put on one of the best concerts ever.

[Divadish]

Went to see the Manic Street Preachers at Leeds university last night fu"*in awesome , 2 1/4 hours of sheer bliss

[thcbongman]

I saw Bright Eyes last night. So that was it.

Sick. How was it? Conor Oberst is da man.

And I fucking can't wait to see Cursive. My god.

[SonicBloom]

And I fucking can't wait to see Cursive. My god.

It was a far stretch from what I'm used to with Bright Eyes, in a really good way. Andy Le Master on bass, a five piece string/woodwind section, the gals from Sleater Kinney playing drums together, and then of coarse the normal line up of Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott. There were a total of 13 people on stage. Really a great show, with a really complete set list. They even played the Calender Hung It's Self, which was a huge surprise.

Have you never seen Cursive before? No matter how high your hopes are for them, they're going to destroy you. They're not only the tightest, well rehearsed band I've ever seen, but Tim Kasher is a personality like no other.

[Nightwolf1772]

went to see Disturbed Stone Sour Nonpoint and Flyleaf really good show

[thcbongman]

That's really cool. I'd never thought the gals from Sleater-Kinney would be drumming with Bright Eyes. Awesome. I would've love to been there!

Nope it'll be my first time, and damn I have real high hopes. I'm only going for them, well I wouldn't mind seeing These Arms Are Snakes.

Tonight, I'm seeing The Album Leaf tonight, and tomorrow I'm going to the chili cook-off to see a bunch of bands, Jet and Buckcherry, and some radio bands I never heard off. My friend bought me a ticket, so might as well go.

[funfubarman]

Last Victor Wooten
Best Pgroove on Halloween:hippy:

[RamblerGambler]

Last show I went to Common/Less Then Jake that my University put on. I could think of better groups to bring, but some people have...interesting... tastes in music.

[PHATTY LUMPKINS]

My last show eas Eric Clapton. March 8 th. 2007. Salt Lake. Energy Solutions Arena. Good Show.

[bluntblaze]

willie nelson in glasgow back at the end of january at the secc

[bluntblaze]

and no it wasn't the best, the best was last years T in the park. it had hundreds of bands at it and lots of differant genres.
best few days of my life.

[logie_boy]

best gig ive been to so far has got to be trivium at thr glasgow carling academy last month
and seeing sabbath at donnington 05 was awesome!

[Stimpy]

Last show i went to was Sean Lennon and it was amazing.

[thcbongman]

I just came back from Frog Eyes. It was fucking awesome. The lead singer was tripping balls. I'm glad he did, because he had so much energy and creativity.

[andrewmorrisey]

The only "big" band I've seen is Godsmack back in October. I like local bands. Especially this one called Loverless. they're amazing.

[Orange Goblin]

Isis/Jesu/Zozobra.. brilliant show.

[nightlight]

I saw Sunset Rubdown on the 2nd. One of the best shows I ever seen.

And I'm seeing The Clientele tonight!

the clientele play a pretty great set. they sound even better than they do on album.

the last show i attended was acid mothers temple at BAR in new haven. it was awesome. for their last track they all sang "and shes cliiiimBing the stairway to new haven" in their broken english. it ruled. next event coming up is "the fucking champs" in wallingford.

[JeKo]

last one I saw was Public Enemy in my home town, best was probably Radiohead at the Sziget festival in Hungary...i think im about to go see damien marley in a few weeks so that should be fun

[thcbongman]

I actually had mixed feeling on the The Clientele. I don't like their new stuff at all, but everyone they play a song from Surburban Light or The Violet Hour, it was unbelieveable, but when they did their new songs, it sounded bland. Overall pretty good, but not the best I seen.

[nightlight]

really? i personally loved their new stuff. or at least two year old stuff. since kay got over me for one was great live.

[nightlight]

have they released an album since strange geometry that i am totally unaware of?

[thcbongman]

Yeah, Strange Geometry is considered a thing of the past now lol! God Save The Clientele is the new album, which is kinda fitting, because they need saving!

[zeebo phillips]

PRIMUS in November at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom.

Fucking amazing, even though I got sucked in...and fell...
But I stayed in the whole time unlike a lot of some of the guys. =P

Really close to the stage.
Actually being able to make out Les was awesome.

Then we went to Denny's and my Primus tattoo-d lip best friend Casey slept over.

Amaaaazing. :)

[higher4hockey]

skynryd was the last concert i went to. the best though is such a hard choice, they've all been pretty good, ive never been to a concert i didnt like. but if i could see anyone of the shows i've previously seen again i think i would have to say better than ezra would be my top choice to see again. aerosmith was pretty good live, and so was metallica.

[MarzVooolta]

RATM and Helmet new years eve about 1993 I think. It was sick.

So jealous... not even the RATM part of it but Helmet, nice man

[MarzVooolta]

Ratdog
Robert Randolph and the family band
Rusted Root

Best show - tool 2001

i go to about 3 concerts a month so it could change

[rainbows.rsexy]

michael jacks:D

[hydrocannabis]

dude the best band I have ever seen was the white stripes.

and I was invited up on stage. that concert was the best time I have ever had ever.

I wish I had a pic to prove it bit they pigs wouldn't let me take pix with the band.

but I do have pic of the tix.

my mom took me to see them for me BIRTHDAY as a B-day surprize.

so I almost fainted over it.

they are just 1 of my favorit bands.

[B.Basher]

Went to see Amon Tobin at the Electric Ballroom. Most intense, craziest gig ever!

[thcbongman]

Tomorrow I shall see:

CURSIVE, Mastadon, Against Me!, and These Arms Are Snakes.

[SonicBloom]

Post about how amazing it was for you. Also, tell me if Clint is playing drums yet? The last two shows I saw with them Clint wasn't playing, and it's just not the same.

[thcbongman]

God, I am so mad. They switched the order, and Cursive performed before Against me! Because of traffic, I missed Cursive all together, I was so infuriated, I took it out on all the kiddies that were there for Against me! and Mastadon. Mastadon, I was surprised, they were pretty good. But I wasn't there for them!

[sharingscaring]

Govt Mule, the bomb every show rocks-- If you have never heard of them you should. PM me and i can seend you some links to torrent sites(bt.etree.org) Like most rock-jam bands they allow aud recordings and will give the occasional soundboard patch(ie the dead, phish, disco biscuts, galactic, col bruce hampton, ect.......) Still smoken tour fall of 06 Pompano Beach-- Bonnaroo here i come

[affasd]

Where'd you see Umph at if you don't mind??

Lol I'm basically an umphreak so any other umphreaks round these parts is even COOLER. :jointsmile:

[thcbongman]

I can't wait to see Spoon at the virginfest.

And I get a 2nd chance on seeing Umphy Mcgee! They're coming to B-more which is good enough. This time I'm buying my ticket as soon as they start selling! No flaking this time!

[Its a Plant]

LOL good boy thc! I'm telling you, now more than ever, they sell out. A nation of umphreaks is rising, and wow they are really blowing up and every show seems to be epic! ~

[blazed_babe]

lol i saw them at the memphis in may music festival erm may 5th or 6th i think in memphis, tn. they were fantabulous!!! it was perfect, because it had just been raining right before their set, and so i walked over to the stage where they were playing, and they were amazing and a lot of people were dressed like hippies and dancing and it was muddy and people were passing around joints and pipes...needless to say i was pretty fucking baked just from the contact high :thumbsup:

it was totally sweet

Yeah that's what's cool about festivals...I think I have a copy of that show too, and yeah, it was good.

If you're ever in the midwest the end of May, you HAVE to go to Summercamp. It's a festival moe. and umphrey's put on in southern Illinois, and it was SO fun this year...and funny enough their Saturday set it had been raining nonstop for Claypool, then as soon as they take the stage, the sun comes out...ahhhh. :jointsmile:

hahaha sounds awesome!! :)

yeah, i loved the vibe...definitely a hippy vibe - so i felt like i fit in :hippy:

i was supposed to go to wakarusa, but sadly, my plans for that fell through...and it started today! :(

[Its a Plant]

Yeah I REALLY wanted to go back to Waka after I had a ball last year, but I'd rather go to the Big Summer Classic in August...just because it's the last Cheese tour ever ya know! PLUS Infected Mushroom I mean SHIIIT. :jointsmile:

[blazed_babe]

Yeah you should PROLLY go....infected has a late-night show friday after 2 sets of cheese...I can't think of a better way to start a festy. ~


oooooooooooooooo damn i must go! i totally agree, that would be a perfect way to start things off!

[thcbongman]

I seen Infected Mushroom two times already, and going to see them at the Virgin Fest. God they're awesome, especially rolling balls. It's too bad I'll see them only on the influence of cannabis this time.

[jdub61]

the last concert i went to was this free concert my college put on, they brought in T.I. and Young Dro, but it wasn't that good of a concert. small crowd not really into it, t.i. wasn't really into it.

however, the thing that redeemed the concert was that it was on 4/20 of all days, lol, so i ended up having a pretty damn good time that night. that was the last weekend before final exams, too, so it was the biggest party weekend of the year + 420 + t.i. concert, so all-in-all, it was a GOOD weekend.

[thcbongman]

Tonight - Grizzly Bear, Feist

Tomorrow - Chris Garneau, Page France

[mrdevious]

Last concert I went to was Heaven And Hell with Ronie James Dio (first concert back in 14 years) and Megadeth. Both were pretty amazing, and Megadeth was just amazing when they closed with Holy Wars!


The best concert ever was definately seeing Iron Maiden at Ozzfest. Out at night on the grass, and a performance where I have NEVER seen that much energy and just shere.... well awsomeness, lol. Then we saw Black Sabbath with Ozzy. Ozzy's voice crapped out yet it was the best thing that could have happened, as Tony Iommi just went off into the most crazy 20 minute psychadelic solo I'd ever heard.

[Reefer Rogue]

The Doors in atlantic city, without jim ofcourse...

Still amazing

[psteve]

Last concert - Smokin' Trainwreck.
Best Concert(s) - 10 years of WEEDSTOCK!!!

[mrdevious]

Wait, there's a weedstock? lol, I should have known:jointsmile:. Hope there's some metal or at least some hard rock though.

[mattmao]

last gig roger waters earls court.best gig kraftwork in a field in england 5 hours of electronic bliss!

[psteve]

Wait, there's a weedstock? lol, I should have known:jointsmile:. Hope there's some metal or at least some hard rock though.There WAS a weedstock. It hasn't happened for a few years. And yes we had metal and all kinds of bands. 25 bands in 3 days. Great times.

[lunchbox3445]

my next concert is the white stripes. i'm pretty excited.

[thcbongman]

Page France/Chris Garneau, what an awesome show. Small club, fan friendly, I met the members of Page France afterwards. I overheard them talking about a strain of bud before I went up to them, I'd figure they had to get stoned to write such great music. They're coming back to DC on the 22nd and I can't wait.

I recommend the folks out there who like dreamy folk music to check out Page France. Listen to the album Hello, Dear Wind.

[Corn.breaD]

The best show I have ever seen was either coheed and cambria or the human abstract. The last show i went to was portugal the man which was amazing.

[Divadish]

Just got back from the Isle of Wight music festival where the Rolling Stones topped the bill and they were brilliant! (they've still got it), as were Snow Patrol,Ash,Keane,fratellis,Wolfmother and a couple for our more ahem!! mature members....Donovan and Country Joe McDonald. Fantastic event all round.

[S.P.Q.R.]

Last concert I went to was in Tempe, AZ.. A 1349/Goatwhore show. Fucking sick..
