Weird Al Yankovic State Theatere, Portland, ME 10/99: ****1/4(I would have given it ****3/4 if it weren't for the shitty opening act)

 

Radio station festival headlined by Vertical Horizon(Ugh) 12/00, Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland Maine: ***(Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were good ditto with local band Rustic Overtones and Eifel 65 did a surprisingly good job of getting the crowd pumped up. Other then that the show sucked.)

 

 

Third Eye Blind with Sister Hazel and Soul Decision, Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland Maine 6/01: **1/2 (Both opening acts were better then Third Eye Blind. But no one on the bill was really good or anything.)

 

 

The Drifters(60's Motown type band) 10/02 Fryeburg Fair Bandstand, Fryeburg, Maine: ***1/4(Pretty good pop music although the Drifters were only on for 35-40 minutes which is probably a good thing. The opening act was a big fat white guy who kept trying to hit the high notes in his rendition of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay" :huh: .

 

 

So far I've been to mostly crappy concerts, I almost went to Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth but alas I couldn't get a ride. Then again I almost went to 98 Degrees, Jessica Simpson and Dream(Yep all on the same bill), HEY I WAS ONLY IN 6TH GRADE and besides I knew all the 6th grade girls would be there.

Beck (6 times, including the two best concerts I've ever been to - four years ago at the Molson Amphitheatre with Sean Lennon and Ben Folds Five opening, and a small-venue acoustic show (just Beck and Smokey Hormel) at Ryerson Auditorium back in August)

 

Big Sugar (3 times)

 

Neil Young

 

They Might Be Giants (outstanding live, by the way)

 

Sloan (twice)

 

Lollapalooza '95 and '96

 

I guess that's about it. It takes a hell of a lot to get me to Toronto, so it really sucks that Molson Park's being sold. Because it's good and NOT in Toronto. Hate that place.

Faith No More

Alice in Chains

Megadeth (3 times, All three times the Marty/Nick version technically brilliant)

Anthrax (twice)

Slayer (woah!)

Extreme

David Lee Roth

Cinderella

Ted Nugent (great show but he verbally blasted the city of Houston, instant heel heat)

Stone Temple Pilots

Cake

No Doubt

SPINAL TAP!! (this show was SO MUCH fun, it was like being in the movie. No exploding drummer though, he just fell down the ramp went they all went to do a bow at the end)

Tommy Castro / Susan Tedeschi / Buddy Guy / B.B. King - B.B. King Bluesfest 8/00

The Living End / Green Day - 8/01

 

Alas, I didn't get to see a yearly show on 8/02. There were a bunch that I wanted to see, but I can't recall what they are right now. I'd say The Living End & Green Day were the best, but that's stuffing the ballot a bit since Green Day's still my favorite band.

in rough chronological order(also a good view into my musical maturation process)

 

Greenday(can't remember openers)

Counting Crows(I'd see them again, good band)

COC(decent live)

Metallica(after their descent into suckitude, but awesome live show)

Dry Kill Logic(huge energy, ok band)

Puya(lot of energy but I can't get into them)

Fear Factory(they looked a bit tired, and Burton was so sunburnt it was hard to look at him)

Skrape(Agree with Corey, this band is horrible)

Pantera(awesome to finally see them but they were so tired and Phil looked crippled)

Soulfly(energetic show)

FUCKIN' SLAYER(OH HELL YES this was awesome)

 

I feel bad because I get no chance to see the great death/black metal bands because I don't live in Toronto.

They played Letterman on Thursday, too. As for the hair, I don't know. Looks better than the mohawk, though.

Yep. They played "I Am Mine" in a more subdued performance. Friday was definitely the more rockin' show.

I can't be bothered to remember every one of them, but here are three important facts:

 

1. My first live show was when I was nine in 1988. It was Debbie Gibson. Does it get any hipper than that?

 

2. Fishbone holds the record for single live act I've seen most number of times, at a whopping four performances. Once in 1994, twice in 1996 and once last year.

 

3. My most recent live show was back on the first of this month. It was Elvis Costello, and a rockin' good time was had by all.

Like Inc, I'm not going to bother listing them all, and so I'll copy his format as well.

 

1. First live show was when I was 11 and saw AC/DC during the Rzors Edge tour.

 

2. I've seen Guided by Voices play live more than any other band. 8 or 9 times, I can't be sure.

 

3. The most recent act I've seen was Trans Am back in July or August.

Morbid Angel (boring, generic death metal; if you get a chance to see them, skip it, as you're not missing much)

LIAR! Morbid Angel is fucking killer live.

 

There's quite literally too many bands for me to list here, so I'll just pick and choose.

 

I went to ozzfest from 98-2000 then gave up on it. 98 was pretty sick, Tool was godly.

 

Live Religious Experiences:

Tool

Black Sabbath

Nasum (sound shouldn't be this loud)

Cryptopsy

Dillinger Escape Plan (every bit as tight live as studio. Incredible)

 

Bands I've seen a bunch of times:

Pantera

Soulfly (surprisingly decent)

Static X (I swear they open half of the tours and shit that I see)

Slayer (punches everyone)

Ozzy

 

Other bands that were the shit:

Internal Bleeding

GWAR

Lividity

Morbid Angel

 

Truly awesome local acts:

Three Nails for a False Prophet

Legion

Forge

Pale and Lifeless (fucking SICK)

Sawbones

 

Bands that were disappointing:

Megadeth (both times)

Dimmu Borgir

Pantera (third time)

 

Welcome Surprises live that I'm not a fan of otherwise:

Disturbed-Busted ass live.

Sevendust-ditto.

Fear Factory

 

Outright sucked:

Hundereds of local bands I've seen, but the example that stands out to me is the Deftones. Jesus christ they sucked ass.

Too many to name. (Working for a college radio station has its advantages.) Mainly went to smaller venues... better atmosphere, intimate setting, easier to grab set lists/talk to the artists, and no sitting. Who can sit through great live music? I can't. Here are the highlights:

 

Depeche Mode/Jesus and Mary Chain/Nitzer Ebb (first show ever, first stadium show)

Butthole Surfers/Rollins Band/Ice-T and Body Count/Siouxsie and the Bansees/Living Colour/NIN/Jane's Addiction (first and only Lollapalooza)

U2/Primus/Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy (second and last stadium show ever -- worked the Amnesty Int'l booth, got in for free)

Public Image Ltd./Big Audio Dynamite/Live/Blind Melon (120 Minutes Tour)

KMFDM

The Shamen/Moby ('92-ish, I think)

Veruca Salt/Weezer/That Dog

Juliana Hatfield (too many times to count)

Lemonheads

Tori Amos

Indigo Girls

Bad Religion/Lunachicks

Green Day/Tilt

Offspring/Guttermouth/Big Drill Car

Rancid/Bouncing Souls

All/Down By Law

Fishbone/Sense Field/Rocket from the Crypt/Guttermouth/many others (Warped Tour '96)

Descendents/Pennywise/NOFX/Mighty Mighty Bosstones/Snapcase/Less Than Jake/many others (Warped Tour '97)

Goldfinger

Midtown

Shades Apart

 

That's all I can remember for now.
