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.
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
Saw Paul Simon at Manchester last year , he's getting on but has still got it fu"*in brilliant
I saw Sunset Rubdown on the 2nd. One of the best shows I ever seen.
And I'm seeing The Clientele tonight!
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
REO Speedwagon
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.
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.
RATM and Helmet new years eve about 1993 I think. It was sick.
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.
Went to see the Manic Street Preachers at Leeds university last night fu"*in awesome , 2 1/4 hours of sheer bliss
Sick. How was it? Conor Oberst is da man.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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.
Last Victor Wooten
Best Pgroove on Halloween:hippy:
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.
My last show eas Eric Clapton. March 8 th. 2007. Salt Lake. Energy Solutions Arena. Good Show.
willie nelson in glasgow back at the end of january at the secc
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.
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!
Last show i went to was Sean Lennon and it was amazing.
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.
The only "big" band I've seen is Godsmack back in October. I like local bands. Especially this one called Loverless. they're amazing.
Isis/Jesu/Zozobra.. brilliant show.
the clientele play a pretty great set. they sound even better than they do on album.Quote:

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
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.Quote:

have they released an album since strange geometry that i am totally unaware of?
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!
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. :)
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.
So jealous... not even the RATM part of it but Helmet, nice manQuote:

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.

Went to see Amon Tobin at the Electric Ballroom. Most intense, craziest gig ever!
Tomorrow I shall see:
CURSIVE, Mastadon, Against Me!, and These Arms Are Snakes.
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.
