Concerts You've Been To

No shame in Hootie and the Blowfish.

I need to see Umphrey's McGee.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

I saw the Beastie Boys once... that's it. No one worth seeing ever comes here..

I need to see Umphrey's McGee.

Come to their new year's show in Chicago with me

[Reefer Rogue]

No, no nooooo!!! Live music is so much better than the canned studio stuff. Assuming, of course, that the band actually has talent. There's just so much more feeling and realness when it's live.

Oh well, each to his own.

There's definately more passion when it's live. However, i'd rather not spend that much money to hear a less quality sound then on my speakers. :twocents:

[Its a Plant]

Nothing is better than being front row, completely lost in the music. You lose track of everything, and go wherever the sound takes you. Such a rush.

For some bands, going and seeing them live is half the experience. Lights shows now-a-days are amazing.

I've seen:
Funeral for a Friend
Bullet for My Valentine
Gratitude
A Static Lullaby
Alkaline Trio
The Automatic x2
Switches
Cat the Dog
Forward Russia
Boy Kill Boy
Taking Back Sunday

Not a very impressive list really.

I was going to see Bullet for my Valentine again when they came down with As I Lay Dying and Bleeding Through, but I was ill on the day. Same with We Are Scientists. Next year I want to go see Forward Russia again, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly and Rise Against, though I doubt I'll get round to buying tickets before they sell out...

Ahh, I see where you're coming from. Yeah, ticket prices have gotten fucking outrageous. It seemed to happen in just the last 10 years or so. Back when I was seeing the Grateful Dead tickets would be like $20 and we'd go three nights in a row. Hell, when I saw Pink Floyd in '95 we had 13th row and tickets were only like $30. Now decent seats for the neighbor kids garage band are like $100.

Fortunately a lot of bands are now putting out soundboard recordings of concerts that you can download off the internet. The sound is awesome and even though they cost $15 or so it's better than a $75 ticket and at least you have something to keep.

Ticket prices are pretty expensive these days, but I understand why. Most of them need the money, perhaps not the rolling stones, but 3rd-tier and lower bands.

But nothing beats bands live. I gotten into bands and bought their album based on what I heard live. Rap is a great example. I generally dislike what they do in the studio. Most of their albums, I find are overproduced. Live is another story, you are there, you are pumped up by their lyrics and beats. You feel it. You understand why all these wiggers are pumping their arms, jumping around and you can't help but join in.

I've seen a few bands over the years. Haven't been to many as of recent, but for a few years I was seeing shows every week. This is what I've seen:

Van Halan
The Rolling Stones
Marilyn Manson
Moist (A Canadian band)
Swollen Members 2x-Canadian hip-hop at its finest
Pantera 2x
Slipknot
Slayer
Strung Out 2x
Rise Against
Nofx
Thrice
Poison the Well
Lagwagon
Rancid
Mighty Bosstones
Less Than Jake
Raised Fist
SNFU
Steppenwolf
System of a Down
Throwdown

I think that's all of them. I've been to a few Warped Tours, the last one being about 3 yrs ago now. I don't go anymore as it's infested with Emo's, and I kill emo's I went to Ozzfest in Seattle back in 1999. That's when I saw Slipknot, Slayer and Pantera all on the same bill. Then I saw Pantera again, and for the last time, during the Reinventing tour.
