Guest KOR420 Report post Posted February 28, 2002 a few years back i went to a show called edgefest and paid 10 bucks for an all day event that ended with the bosstones,it ruled! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted February 28, 2002 Extreme Steel Tour. Panter, Slayer, and Static-X all one one bill. 3 awesome bands that are even better live. God damn... At a VERY close second... WAAF Holiday Rage 2001 - Merry Mayhem Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie. Hands-down the best live shows in the world. Only reason it falls behind Pantera and Slayer is because Mudvayne was on the bill, and they suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted February 28, 2002 I've only been to one but it was pretty wicked. Last Year I saw The Sticky Icky Tour featuring Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, The Eastsidaz, Kurupt, Daz, Bad Azz, and Tha Alcoholiks. It was pretty fun and the arena we were wsa the biggest hotbox I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Crazy Dan Report post Posted March 1, 2002 Some of my favorite concerts were: Lollapolooza 2: Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Ice Cube, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Ministry Primus on New Year's Pearl Jam Skankin Pickle with The Voodoo Glow Skulls Skankin Pickle with Cherry Poppin Daddies(this was way before Zoot Suit Riot Metallica with Suicidal Tendencies, and Candlebox(they got unmericful booed throughout their performance, I think people were a little ticked that Alice in Chains bailed a mere few days before the concert, but I thought Candlebox was good)\ Ministry with Sepultura and Helmet Lollapolooza 3: with Alice in Chains, Arrested Developement, Primus, Rage Against the Machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Don Becker Report post Posted March 1, 2002 November 2001: Living Colour w/ DJ Logic at Irving Plaza (two nights, both awesome, but for completely different reasons - first night was more laid back and emotional, since it was their first show in NYC since 9/11. Second night was just intense and aggressive.) September 1994: Ozric Tentacles at CMJ/Irving Plaza - went backstage and hung with the band afterwards. July 2001: Roxy Music w/ Rufus Wainwright at The Theater at MSG - Bryan Ferry (as boring as Lester Bangs thought he was) is still the king of cool, and Phil Manzanera and Chris Spedding are as good a guitar tandem as any. September 1997: five diferent Marillion concerts - my favorite band, mixing up the setlists every night, and I was on the guest list for the last of the five shows, in New Jersey. Great bunch of guys; pity they can't afford to come back to the States. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brush with Greatness Report post Posted March 1, 2002 Anything involving the Tragically Hip... Specifically "Another Roadside Attraction" in 95 featuring Matthew Sweet, Blues Traveler, Spirit of the West and Ziggy Marley as the warmup acts. Edgefest 98 was a good day wasted, considering the ticket was free. The lineup looked something like this...

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted March 1, 2002 Mad Caddies kicked ass at the Leeds 2001 fest. As did Reel big fish. I loved Frank Black and the Catholics in my hometown as well, the pixies covers didn't seem too lose anything, i thought his band deserved major credit for that. Plus the crowd absolutely loved them, I was amazed that many people knew their stuff. I would absolutely love to see rammstein, i can't believe i missed my chance when my Stein-obsessed friend went. Course, after viewing one of their live performances on tape, i pretty much became as obsessed as him. But not quite. I missed the Hives as well, which pissed me off. Ah well, my fault.

Guest LowSparkOfHighHeeledBoys Report post Posted March 4, 2002 Phil Lesh & Friends 7/21/01 - Hartford, CT - Bob weir guest spot during first set, second set was the sickest thing I've ever heard: Caution Jam>Dear Mr. Fantasy>St. Stephen>Eyes Of The World>St. Stephen>Help On The Way>Slipknot!>THe Eleven>Slipknot>Franklin's Tower Gov't Mule and the Derek Trucks Band - 03/27/99 - Hartford, CT - two of the greatest slide guitarists the world has ever seen, and their respective bands kicked my ass all night, and the encore with them both out there was too much. Max Creek - 5/15/98 - New Haven, CT - They started playing...and other than setbreak, they didnt stop...almost three hours on the dot worth of some of the best jams I'd ever heard. Honorable Mention goes too: Phish 6/30/00, 7/1/00 Hartford, CT Soulive 8/3/01, 8/4/01 Hartford, CT (opening for DMB) Allman Brothers Band 8/26/01 - Hartford, CT (1 year to the day of the death of Allen Woody.) Ozzfest 2001 mainstage Journey/Frampton - Hartford, 2001 Nugent/Deep Purple/Skynyrd - Hartford, 2001 and as much as I hate to say it, Brian Wilson/Paul Simon - Hartford 2001 Those two can still go after all these years..the smallest crowd I'd seen at the venue ever, but it was one of the most enthusiastic, great bunch of people...and the show was killer.

Guest TUS_02 Report post Posted March 4, 2002 I have always been a fan of STP and since Sophomore year in High school, I promised myself I would see them... and 5 years later... I got the chance during the Rolling Rock tour in Latrobe. It was very muddy... like Woodstock '99 muddy but it was amazing. STP brought the (non existant) roof down. Weiland is so full of energy, it's amazing. Even better though was the fact that we saw them aagin 2.5 months later in Hartford, CT in the Family Values Tour. One band I really didn't like was Staind. They were on both shows and Aaron Lewis just has NO energy... it kills their sets. Second on the list (barely) is Metallica. I had ass-raping nosebleed seats, but it was still fucking amazing. They did like 3 encores and I wished that they would just play forever. Lasltly, 2 Skinnie J's put on a good show... I hate their music (with the exception of 2 songs) but they have funny/good shows. And they're always around New Haven/Hartford all the time, so it's close by...
