Favorite concerts you've been to. .

The best big production concert I've seen was Pink Floyd at Joe Robbie in 1994 or so. It rained. . they had giant mechanical boards on both sides of the stage, with smoke coming out of their nostrils. Their eyes were headlights, and then they snapped into lasers and started scanning the crowd. It was f'n nuts. I've been to 5 Grateful Dead shows, and although I hate hippies, those were nuts. My favorite bands live have been Fishbone, NOFX, and Reverend Horton Heat. I was lucky enough to be in Hawaii for New Years 2000. For any punk fans, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were staying there and they'd only played about 3 live shows so far, ever. I met Fat Mike and talked to him for a while which was cool as hell. . that'd be the equivelent of a Zepplin fan meeting Robert Plant. So anyway, they played there that night at some little run down airport on Kauai. . That was probably my most random and memorable concert. Also got to see Public Enemy in 1991 when Flavor Flav and the S1Ws were still with them. :here:

KISS / Aerosmith Tour in 2003 was way cool! 2 of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time, on the same stage!! What a show, but would have rather seen liv tyler up there with her dad!! :rolleyes: All the pyro & stage productions that is a KISS show combined with the laser lights and classic sound of Aerosmith!! Also the motley crue Girls Girls Girls tour was something unreal! Back when they were tight and kickin it hard core! saw them in philly and hershey!

Seen Kid Rock 2 times once 2 years ago it rocked. And then again earlier this year. He was so awsome! There were all kinds of people there, lots of hippies. He two girls on both side of the stage i think they were strippers, dancing. He had so much energy. It was great.

I'm sorry, Need4Speed said Liv Tyler and I lost all concentration. lol

He two girls on both side of the stage i think they were strippers, dancing. He had so much energy. It was great. Kid has become a "punk" since his old days. I saw him play in '98 at Michigan State @ Ricks and it was pretty cool. Then "Devil Without A Cause" came out and he became a "punk" since. I've seen DMB a few times, great shows. Way back when I saw Bon Jovi and Poinson probably 7 times. LOL

I saw Pink Floyd in '94 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ. One of the largest production rich shows I've ever seen. The sheer magnitude had me in awe. Best sounding concert I ever heard was Steely Dan circa 1997. The audio was superb, and it was an outdoor venue to boot. A very close second are the Eagles. Their vocal harmonies are nearly perfect, amazing for live. Most excited and trembling with anticipation factor: Reunited Van Halen, June of this year on opening night in North Carolina. Great to see them together again. I saw Metallica with Guns and Roses in 1991 (I think it was '91). In between sets, all of the women were flashing the cameras... for almost two hours. That has to rank up there. One of my favorites was Harry Connick Jr. I was never a fan, in fact my wife drug me there. I'm still not a fan of that genre, but HCJR is probably the single best entertainer I've ever seen. His interaction with the audience and obvious talent in so many arenas will always stick out in my mind. Energy... has to be Rob Zombie. Wow, what an energy packed performance. What a rush.

He two girls on both side of the stage i think they were strippers, dancing. He had so much energy. It was great. its pretty cool how he shows up un-annouced at local bars/clubs/sporting events and does a quick concert and buys everybody a round of drinks too!! never witnessed this personally but have seen it b/4 and read about it.

Kid has become a "punk" since his old days. I saw him play in '98 at Michigan State @ Ricks and it was pretty cool. Then "Devil Without A Cause" came out and he became a "punk" since. Kid Rock is not even in the same galaxy as punk.

I saw Pink Floyd in '94 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ. One of the largest production rich shows I've ever seen. The sheer magnitude had me in awe. That's right, I think we talked about that in a thread a couple years ago. HCJR would be cool as hell. . not typically what I listen to, but definitely cool. As for Zombie, I had several chances to see White Zombie and just never motivated to go. I could kick myself now. . same goes for Primus and Nirvana. :(

Blink 182...That was fun

I used to work for a catering company that did all of the catering for Hershey Park. I got to see everyone from Madonna to Phil Collins to ZZ Top and so on and so on. It was all free and had back stage passes all the time. :D

Horton Heat! Thats another band I love! I've seen em all over... Here in MI at a few different places... down in Austin at a place called.... Emo's I think.. NYC as well. I just broke the speed limit on my short ride because Big Sky was playin on my Mp3 player!

Big Sky f'n rocks. . :here: :here: :here: :here: :here: I suck at guitar, but if I was good enough to justify it I'd have a Gretzch (sp?) hollow body in a heat beat. One plus of living here is I get to see him a couple times a year. One of the best live shows ever, he f'n jams. I got to see him quite a few times before Taz quit, that was pretty cool too. I should be shot b/c I left out one of the best bands around, WEEN. :crazy: Their shows are great. . half the crowd is pizzed, half love it. Still waiting to see a 30 minute rendition of Poop Ship Destroyer. lol So horton is pretty well received up there by you northerners huh? :cool:

I used to work for a catering company that did all of the catering for Hershey Park. I got to see everyone from Madonna to Phil Collins to ZZ Top and so on and so on. It was all free and had back stage passes all the time. :D I'd love to see ZZ Top. :cool:

I'd love to see ZZ Top. :cool: They drink alot of JD. And Madonna walked around without her top on. :D

Yeah, hes liked up here. Man, they are touring fools! They manage to get up here a few times a year!

And Madonna walked around without her top on. :D hnmm what a shocker. :rolleyes: you mean she forgot her "coooones" :lol:

Kid Rock is not even in the same galaxy as punk. Think you read that in the wrong way. I never said Kid Rock did punk music. Stating he has become a "punk", slang, ya know. Maybe should have just said he sold himself out thats all.

Oh yeah, I 100% agree, Ace. I guess when the whole Vanilla Ice thing didn't work he pursued other avenues. :D http://www.vh1.com/sitewide/flipbooks/img/shows/driven/kid_rock/1497.jpg Horton is on tour constantly. I love smaller shows like that, rarely go to big production ones anymore. Saw TOOL a couple years ago, that was pretty cool. Been to the Warped Tour a few times. . it's getting a little too commercial now, but they put together some good bands. :dthumb:

Blink 182...That was fun My friend and I saw Blink in Chicago several years ago. It was an outdoor stadium and we were left of center in the 2nd row. Absolutely awesome. Last year we saw Shania Twain and that was pretty damn sweet too. Think we were like 5th row for that but the stage was in the center of the hockey arena floor and she travelled around the edges. Sometimes you were close and sometimes you had to watch the screens. I don't think anything will top that Blink show though... fire and lots of pyrotechnic pretties!

Britney!!! :bowdown: Yea...I'm her age and still a teeny bopper, but she still puts on a good show!! :p:

Mine was Nirvana, before they sucked, in Kalamazoo with Ministry and some other band. 6 people were carried off on strecthers before the show started.. They f'ing rocked. I can't remember what year - I think 1990. I have seen tons of great shows and I could stay here all day and tell you about them but they are setting the alarm now so I have to go............... .

Britney!!! :bowdown: Yea...I'm her age and still a teeny bopper, but she still puts on a good show!! :p: i'd go see britney..everybody says its one of the best shows they have ever seen..whether you like her music or not. besides the fact that she's HOTT!!

Bruce Springsteen at Red Rocks, 1981. Actually, any concert at Red Rocks. It has to be the best outdoor venue in the world.

Just remembered this and I know Matt will like it. My father went to see a free KISS concert in Ohio back in the day when they were at the peek. He said it really great. :thumbs:

Just remembered this and I know Matt will like it. My father went to see a free KISS concert in Ohio back in the day when they were at the peek. He said it really great. :thumbs: oh hell yeah..rock on! there's nothing like going to a KISS show..even if u dont like their music..u owe it to urself to go see one of their shows..its really something spectacular..

oh hell yeah..rock on! there's nothing like going to a KISS show..even if u dont like their music..u owe it to urself to go see one of their shows..its really something spectacular.. Just might have to do so. You find out when they will be around here soon and you and I will go. :dthumb:

Just might have to do so. You find out when they will be around here soon and you and I will go. :dthumb: just saw them with Poison this past august...when i got all done up in ace makeup. helluva show, and poison rocked the house too, u could tell they semed to be revived and really enjoyed themselves up there..not to mention they are big KISS fans themselves. KISS usually comes around to hershey on every tour, so im keeping my fingers crossed again that they'll be back next summer.

Sweet. Will look forward to that next year pssibly. You in make-up still scares the ***** out of me. :lol: :smash: :D

Mine was Nirvana, before they sucked, in Kalamazoo with Ministry and some other band. . I saw Ministry about 10 years ago out here. Al should sue Rob Zombie for stealing his schtick. :bash:

Did I mention I also saw Metallica, Danzig, and Suicidal Tendancies. All 3 for the low price of $28 in Williams Grove, Pa. :dthumb:

Yea, you all think you are bad with your concerts you went to but I bet ya'll can't top this: New Kids on the Block, baby :lol: :rofl: Ok I was like 12 and they were like, so cute! :lol:

I've seen Kittie a lot over the past few years. They rock pretty hard, for chicks. :) Most of the shows I have gone too recently have been at Harpo's.. Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide. It seems its been a while since i have made it out to a show though. I better start looking to see whats coming, I need to see some shows!

:dthumb: I was to think of the loudest show I've seen. . it's either Bad Brains or the Butthole Surfers, both of which made me go deaf for a week just about. lol Saw Public Enemy in 91 with Heavy D and the Boys, Digital Underground, MC Breed and the DFC, Kid and Play, and Kwame. lol Digital Underground was cool. .. Tupac was with him. People tend to forget that he sucked so bad that Shock G had to put on a fake nose and create Humpty b/c Tupac sucked so bad. lol

I need to see some shows! You'd love south florida, everything you listen to is down there 24-7. :thumbs:

Saw Public Enemy in 91 with Heavy D and the Boys, Digital Underground, MC Breed and the DFC, Kid and Play, and Kwame. Daaaayum now you breaking out the "Old Skool" ****. Nice. How's about Big Daddy Kane? "anything goes when it comes to hoes, they go...Pimpin Aint' easy" lol :lol:

Its actually not bad up here either. I think Detroit (Harpo's mainly) is a major stop for anything from the somewhat heavy to the insane...

Daaaayum now you breaking out the "Old Skool" ****. Nice. How's about Big Daddy Kane? "anything goes when it comes to hoes, they go...Pimpin Aint' easy" lol :lol: "Here I am. . R-A-W. Here to bring trouble to, phoney emcees. . " I loved the b-i-g-d-a-double d-y k-a-n-e, but I never got to see him live. Back then the only other rap concert I saw was DJ Quik. He was about an hour late getting to the show, so they filled the time with a member from the Nation of Islam. He went on about how the white man owes them millions of dollars, etc. Myself and my friend were the only two white guys there, that was a little uncomfortable. lmao Ended up being a cool show though. :dthumb: edit: MC Breed was with Quik, not PE.

:D :jacked: Hey, speaking of Public enemy, have any of you caught any of the Surreal life stuff? Flava rocks, only reason to watch that show.

Its actually not bad up here either. I think Detroit (Harpo's mainly) is a major stop for anything from the somewhat heavy to the insane... I don't really care for metal, but we get some decent punk through here from time to time. Used to they all went through Tulsa since that town, strangely enough, is artsy. But, that's changing so we get some good shows from time to time. Anyone seen WEEN? I've seen them 3 or 4 times, love that band. lol

:D :jacked: Hey, speaking of Public enemy, have any of you caught any of the Surreal life stuff? Flava rocks, only reason to watch that show. "Tomorrow's gonna be a better day. Because tomorrow, Flava gets to drive. Flava Flaavvvvvvvvv!!!!" LMFAO!!!

:D :jacked: Hey, speaking of Public enemy, have any of you caught any of the Surreal life stuff? Flava rocks, only reason to watch that show. Yes, that show is freaking hilarious. I tell ya, Flava makes the show. (and did I mention there is a New Kid on the show) :lol:

Haha, great stuff. I mute it everytime that chick from American Idol or whatever it was starts talkin though. Such a Bitch! She whined about not wanting to sing R&B cuz it wasn't her "style" ... Shes came from a freakin KARAOKE show!!! Yuo don't have any style honey! you sing karaoke! sorry (/rantoff) :D

I agree.. none of their careers are doing crap, otherwise they wouldn't be on that show. "Style" lol Oddly enough Jordan seems like the only sane one.

I Oddly enough Jordan seems like the only sane one. But dumb as a rock ! :lol: When Dave Coulier mentioned that he was friends with the Olsen Twins, he made a comment about how HOT they are. :lol: :doh: That didnt' sit well with Uncle Joey. :lol:

LMAO!! I bet that went over well. . :rofl:

Queensryche when they toured for Empire, simply amazing. Dream Theater in about '98, fantastic show! I saw them at the House of Blues, amazing show and it was 2 1/2 hours long!
