dusthimself Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Went to my first concert just last winter, saw the Newsboys for free (I've never heard of them before, they were pretty tight, i'll link you guys to an awesome video later in this post.) But after that I decided I needed to go to more concerts. So I ended up going to a Switchfoot concert last Spring, and then I went to the Jimmy Eat World (+ Paramore, feat. Dear and the Headlights). I plan on going to more, and I'm really really desperately wanting to go see the Foo Fighters sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kccitystar Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've been to a lot of freakin' concerts. Probably at least 30 or 35. My first? Yes, I remember. Huey Lewis and the News, baby! Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself. :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetsReyes777 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 fred13, where did you see Justice? I saw them at Madison Square Garden on March 11th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've seen R.E.M. five times for starters, Death Cab for Cutie twice, I have my second Radiohead concert on Aug. 3, but I have hit up at least 20 since y first back in 89.... New Kids on the Block with my sister. Best concert was Muse at Mesa Ampitheater... for a taste of thier live shows pick up their live H.A.A.R.P. CD. They are amazing. Page and Plant was great as was AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xNc1212x Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 There have been so many. I would have to say at least 30, Some of the best have been Rush, Coheed and Cambria, judas Priest, Iron Maiden, The original Black Sabbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 fred13, where did you see Justice? I saw them at Madison Square Garden on March 11th Sound Factory in Toronto, last March. Pirate, how'd you like Death Cab? I saw them at the beginning of June, forgot to put it up there. I liked them, but I really went for the opening act, STARS.

JCL71 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've been to a few concerts in my late teens, early 20s. Can't remember the bands though. But the best concert experience for me personally was seeing U2 during their PopMart tour with a 40 foot lemon in '97. They came through my city for the first and could be the last time during that tour. U2 is better live than studio. Some groups sound great in the studio but blow chunks live. For U2, they sound good in the studio but sound even better live. Also, I find with concerts, some songs that didn't sound great or stand out on the album, they manage to make it better live.

xNc1212x Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 oh man, I want to see Maiden so bad. How were they? Maiden are an insane band. Ive seen them twice and they never fail. They always play older stuff and the divide there shows up by cd so like its 15 min is the first etc. etc. No one will surpass Rush as the greatest show i have ever seen performance wise.

Haha, It took me about 2 songs to realize wow those are chickens behind him. Nothing beats the random south park tom sawyer intro though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwinginSoriano Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Only saw Pearl Jam back in 1996, haven't seen anything since. I guess I would only be interested in seeing Yngwie at this point, though never say never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebjr Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Went and saw the Eagles last night. One of the best shows I've ever saw. They played a lot more of their newer stuff than I would have liked, but they still played most of the classics. The longest show I've ever been to that didn't have an opening act. They played for almost three and a half hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
