Now THAT´S a great band. Have you listened carefully to Lateralis? It´s amazing to say the least... that band is unique. One of my favourites.

What no Judas Priest? What a concert that was!!!

I remember being at the front of the stage, smokin' a big one , throwing it on stage, and seeing Rob Halford pick it up and pass it to Scott Travis the drummer who went into an amazing solo!!!

This was at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Maine, what a night! We played quarters with full bottles of Lowenbraw(spelling?)


Then there was Ozzy Ozborne.......First concert was cancelled due to snow, we stayed in a motel that night partying with a few other stranded castaways and woke up to see only 3" of antennas from cars sticking out of the snow! We were stuck there for three days!

I don't remember much about the night that the concert was finally made up on, many beers

Durango.. you've just made me realize that i haven't lived yet lol

[Wombat]

I haven't gone to tons of concerts, but they've almost always been a good time.

Ben Folds Five (2x)
Moby
Marilyn Manson
Tori Amos (2x)
Skalars ( a bunch)
Pietasters
MU-330 (with the Blue Meanies opening) (2x)
Warped 2000 and '01 (dozens of band names omitted)
Paul Simon & Bob Dylan (yes, together)
Gravity Kills
A couple performances of the SLSO
Blink 182 (hey, it was free, and I was really there to see MxPx, who opened)
MxPx (see above)
Medeski, Martin & Wood
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Depeche Mode (Poe opened)
Hootie & the Blowfish (I admit it, but it was like 6 years ago)
Skatellites

The Marilyn Manson show was a real kick. It was during the Antichrist tour, and I caught the tour on Halloween night. We got kept out for a few hours because of a bomb threat, and it got pretty cold on the boardwalk. Once we got in, the whole thing was a blast. Helmet opened (they suck live), and so did NY Loose.

One of these days I'll catch BBVD when they come around.

[Lizzard[MPE]]

ooh.. i soo wanna see Moby live.. and Tori, i got invited to see her in Florida this month but couldn't afford the trip

I have a few videos of Tori in concert and a surprise visit from Maynard and they sang together, pretty kewl

Tricky opened for tool in Louisville. Can't say we showed up early.

Get this.. And believe me it's SAD.. haha 1st concert I was MADE to go to .. haha I'm so embarrassed to say.. Milli Vanilli.. Ouch.. did i just admit that? thank God, my music preference changed or i would be waiting inline to see a band like "Dream" .. haha no that's a lie.. that would never happen.. haha did i just say they were actually a band.. haha whoops i take that back

[Wombat]

Don't feel too bad about not seeing Moby live. Yes, it was a good show. But I went in there hoping to hear some new material, or improvisation, or something unique. I got a really good live rendition of stuff I probably could have heard on a remix CD. Friends of mine saw him on his next tour and felt about the same way.

In his defense, he's a really cool guy. When we were leaving the concert, my friends and I walked past this guy who was just standing there drinking some water, and it clicked. "Wait, that was Moby." So we stopped and talked to him for a while. I got my friends' picture with him. He signed a copy of Play for us.

Then a guy came up: "I'm like your biggest fan! I've been following you since the club scene, 18 years ago."
Moby: "Wow, that's impressive, since I didn't start playing anything until about 16 years ago."

Moby then went on to just talking to other people about whatever they wanted to ask. Autographs, etc.

Tricky, now that would be interesting. I really like Maxinquaye, the latter stuff less so.

We'll see how the new Massive Attack is. I think Mezzanine is one of the best albums ever, but one of the band members left b/c he was disappointed with it. The word is that MA is working with David Bowie. That has potential.

Talking of all these concerts is bringing back lots of memories. I have been to so many I lost count. Before I make a list, there are two bands I must mention that are amazing in concert.

Hey Doc - a list where I can actually recognise >90% Must have been great times. Were you a roadie or something?

[Dr Mordrid]

Not really. I'm just really old and EVERYONE comes to Detroit

You wouldn't believe the concerts that have been here over the years at places like the Palace, Silverdome, Cobo Arena, Meadowbrook or Pine Knob. Sometimes it's a pain having so many major arenas though because there would be major acts at ALL of 'em on the same night, esp. in the summer.

I did travel to NYC, Toronto or Chicago for a few concerts though.

One great forum in years past was the East Town Theater. It was a rock theater in days gone by that would have shows on a Sat. night you just flat wouldn't believe now.

Back when they were just starting their careers you cold go and see Alice Cooper, Mountain and Elton John ON THE SAME NIGHT.

I'm also one of those lucky enough to have actually been at Max Yazgers farm in the summer of 1969.

Let's see how many youngsters understand that reference

Helevitia:

Your list of concerts looks my my Vynl collection!!!!!!

Mordrid:..... 3 times! ouch....

Very few did when I went to gigs......

And Lynard Skynard - gawd.... I am in awe of you, man!

Peace & love & grovey times down on the farm...

I am ashamed to admit that the last two concerts I went to were:

Barry Manilow
Rick Springfield

Yes that was recently (withing the last couple of years). Somewhat different than the concerts of my youth. I am a headbanger by nature

No, I haven't turned gay...................

I got married!!!

in 97 Metallica came to town for there load tour. that was actually the last time i listened to them though, got tired of there music. the good thing though was at the concert they only played like two songs from there "load" CD, the rest was the good ol' stuff. and bein 18 at the time, my friends and i which i went with about 20-25 people, we all bought binoculars that were hollowed out inside. we filled them with whiskey and we went on our merry way. Ofcourse we all looked a little strange only being 3 rows on the floor from the stage with binoculars! hehe. oh well they did put on a great show though I must admit.

Some bands I've wanted to see but haven't are the Beastie Boys, NIN, David Bowie, and The Cure, what else.. Judas Priest.. Jane's Addiction.. hmm.. I'm sure the list is massive. I've wanted to see "Live" too, although everyone around me tries to drill the fact in my head that they suck... hehe..

haha I've just remembered, i saw WAYNE NEWTON in concert before the lipsync twins. lol. don't ask..
