Guest saturnmark4life Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 first i ever saw was the black crowes, around the times of 'three snakes and one charm'.

Guest kingkamala Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 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" . 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.
Guest ElectricRaccoon Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 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.
Guest GeneMean Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 KISS (3 times, twice the makeup version always an entertaining show) ZZ Top GNR (took them HOURS to take the stage but they kicked serious ass, high energy from Slash) Metallica (twice) Faith No More Alice in Chains Megadeth (3 times, All three times the Marty/Nick version technically brilliant) Anthrax (twice) Slayer (woah!) Skid Row (without Sebastian, the new guy reminded me of Chris Jericho too much) 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)
Guest evenflowDDT Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 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.

Guest godthedog Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 pearl jam sonic youth eve 6 our lady peace third eye blind ween (twice) ween was best, followed by pearl jam. speaking of which, did anybody see pearl jam on letterman friday? what's up with eddie and the new screech jr hairdo?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 Pearl Jam x2 Smashing Pumpkins Bloodhound Gang Lollapalooza 1994 speaking of which, did anybody see pearl jam on letterman friday? what's up with eddie and the new screech jr hairdo? They played Letterman on Thursday, too. As for the hair, I don't know. Looks better than the mohawk, though.
Guest godthedog Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 they were on thursday too? dammit!
Zetterberg is God Posted November 17, 2002 Report Posted November 17, 2002 Godsmack Finger Eleven Tea Party (twice) Weezer Collective Soul Warped Tour '02
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 they were on thursday too? dammit! Yep. They played "I Am Mine" in a more subdued performance. Friday was definitely the more rockin' show.
Guest Incandenza Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 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.
Guest LooseCannon Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 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.
Guest Incandenza Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 Sadly, I've only seen GbV once. Did I ever tell the story of how I got Bob Pollard to give me a beer? Good times....
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 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.
Guest EricMM Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 Christ HFStivals hokey... Lit Jimmys Chicken Shack Mighty Mighty Bosstones Bloodhound gang Live Silverchair Offspring Blink 182 Sugar Ray Then the next one which is a bit more um hazy? RATM Godsmack Cypruss Hill STP SR-71 Then by themselves NewFoundGlory And more local (you may not know them) Val Yumm Mary Prankster Holy Swiss Cheese
Guest notJames Posted November 18, 2002 Report Posted November 18, 2002 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.
