Just a sister thread to the Fav bands...
Name a few concerts that you have been to and whether it was good or not...
1. Alabama (Farewell Tour this summer) - They played everything...Farewell Tour in Nashville, doesn't get any better.
2. Dave Matthews Band - Always fun to go to, I've gone two years in a row...Good music, hot girls, good time.
3. Lynyrd Skynyrd (30th Anniversary) - I saw what's left of the group in Nashville. They played great, an almost 30-minute version of Free Bird!!! Can't beat Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man, Sweet Home Alabama, and Free Bird live.
4. 50 Cent featuring Snoop Dogg, Chingy, Fabolous, Bonde Crusher, Busta Rhymes, T.I., and I probably left a couple out - I know...You're probably thinking, "Wait a second, this doesn't fit in with the other concerts." But yeah, I went to this one...I was the DD (free ticket) and I was actually surprised at how well they played.
5. Matchbox Twenty/Sugar Ray - It was good...not many people at all...I had an okay time.

Metallica's free, afternoon concert outside the Spectrum in 97, I was in college and ditched class with a couple of buddies to go. Hetfield comes out for the encore in a Flyers jersey and the whole crowd, 75,000 people in a parking lot chanting 'Let's Go Flyers'. Best concert I've ever been to, bar none. You can't top that many people chanting 'Die, Die, Die' during Creeping Death.
HONORARY MENTION:
Linkin Park put on a pretty good live show at the FUC about a year ago.
Saw Aerosmith and Kid Rock, Aerosmith blew Kid Rock out of the water. Those old bastards still got it.
Had the chance to see Train just a couple weeks ago playing a local club date. Really, really good live band, they do some great covers, sound just like the originals. Best club show I've seen.
Worked security for a rap show about three years ago, and I'll give it to him, DMX does a great live show. To bad he got locked up a few nights later for sodomy.

1987 Philadelphia, JFK Stadium(before it went boom!) U2 "Joshua Tree" joined by Bruce Springsteen for 2 encores.
I heard rumors about it before the concert. Umm...Hehe, Snoop smoked a couple joints on stage during the show. That was quite funny. But I wouldn't be surprised, it was wild.lucky you got to see #4, btw was there free _____ being passed around? (you know, the stuff they ask you at MEPS about 9999 times)
1998, new haven CT, the beach boys. good times. rolling stones in giants stadium was awesome, DMB is always a fun one to go to as well. The roots are also really good live, if you get a chance check that out
Hands down:
Jimmy Buffet
Skynard, Darien Lake, 2003- 30 tour, awesome show...
napalm death with brutal truth in 1992 or 1993 was pretty sweet...
"suffer... the children"
1. Goldfinger without a doubt!
i only went to one concert in my life, and I hated it.
there is a band that is full of people who smoke marijuana for a living, and they put out ****ty music at the same time.
you might have heard of them.
no offense, TF160SOAR,
i think it's called 'dave matthews band'.
then again, i have no taste for the whole genre.
Hehehehe, true.
Goldfinger...what a great show. SKA RULES
Believe it or not when I was about eighteen or so, I took my dad to a concert at the Valley Force Music Center for his birthday, I can't remember if it was Alabama or Kenny Rogers, but it was something along those lines. Well Dave Matthews was the opening act. Point is, they sucked back then too.
