Guest Ravenbomb Report post Posted December 8, 2002 man, something got screwed up there. here's what I posted: How many concerts have you been to as of now and what were they? me: New Kids on the block (not one word. My sister dragged the whole family to it and we didn't stay the whole time, and I was NOT enjoying it.) Meat Loaf REO Speedwagon (three times, one time I met them afterwards) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Boyz 2 Men (once again, my sister dragged us to it) Steve Miller Band Bon Jovi Elton John Bob Seger AC/DC America Kiss The Scorpions Weird All Yankovic Bush Pointfest No Doubt Styx The Who Aerosmith (met them before hand, best. concert. ever) U2 total: 23 the Meat Loaf one was in '94 I think and the U2 one was in '97, and I haven't been to a concert since the U2 one.

Guest kingkamala Report post Posted December 8, 2002 Weird Al Yankovic(Best live show I've been to) Radio festival headlined by Vertical Horizon, also featuring: Eifel 65, Rustic Overtones(A decent local band kind of a DMB ripoff), Vitamin C, Train, Westlife(Crappy one hit wonder boy band) and Big Bad Vooddo Daddy(Man that's one 'fuckin weird bill) Radio Festival headlined by Third Eye Blind, also featuring: Sister Hazel, Soul Decision, Dido, Samantha Mumba, No Authority(Crappy one hit wonder boy band) and Evan and Jaron(Who did a terrible acoustic cover of AC/DC's You Shook Me all Night Long I mean as bad as Celine Dion's cover of it on Diva's Las Vegas this year) The Drifters SR-71 with The Exies and July for Kings(Surprisingly great live show. All three bands were great althought July for Kings were blatently ripping off both Matchbox 20 and Our Lady Peace.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheyCallMeMark Report post Posted December 8, 2002 Not counting local gigs (to which I have been to countless numbers) I went to the Cantrell warm-up show for his DT tour. He co-headlined with Nickelback, and Default opened for them. Damn good show by all preformers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kibagami Report post Posted December 9, 2002 Probably thirty, thirty-five concerts with bands who've had more than local exposure, and a whoooooole slew of local stuff. K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest treble charged Report post Posted December 9, 2002 I used to go all the time, as there was a local festival that ran in the Summer that would show them for free after a cheap admission fee (usually $3-$5) and it was in a field. Then, they got greedy, charging extra for the concerts and moving them onto a parking lot, taking away a lot of the atmosphere. Probably went to about 20 or so over the years. The only concert I've been to over the past 5 years, though, was the treble charger concert that was at my school in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted December 9, 2002 Let's see- I saw Rat Dog/Band the day before Jerry Garcia died. Mom still hasn't forgiven me. I went to a benefit concert with Paul Simon/Pete Townshend/Annie Lennox/Wynston Marsalis. I saw Travis/Remy Zero at Radio City. Great seats. U2/No Doubt at MSG FUCKING ROCKED!!!! And I saw Avril Lavigne play at Beachfest in Toronto. It ruled. Counting SNL I've also seen- Eve w/Gwen Stefani, Paul Simon, Alicia Keys, Creed, Mick Jagger, The Strokes, India.Arie, Moby. And if you want to get mega technical I saw a bunch of people perform at the Super Bowl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted December 10, 2002 couting all local gigs a little under 400 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted December 10, 2002 Too many to name, although the majority of them were small venues, which made them infinitely more enjoyable. Also, most of them were free... just a humble perquisite for working at a college radio station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
