As am I. There should be a green with envy smiley.

It could be worse. I'm only a couple hours away from there. I didn't know Ween was around though.

Don't you hate it when you find out about a concert after the fact?

You'd been out of luck unless you caught word of the show ahead of time anyway since it was a sellout. There were people bummin' for tickets, especially this one girl in particular, though she did manage to con one somehow.
It was an amazing show. The guys were in top form and there were no barriers in front of the stage so I was right in front of them(wish I was on Deaner's side of the stage but can't complain). I hope to catch 'em again this fall when they are out touring when the new album comes out.

Hopefully I'll have some to add after Saturday night. TOOL's coming to town. Whooohooo...and any of you who know me, know I am excited! LOL

[Rjeso]

:jealous: Have fun! Wonder if this tour will have any nekkid rope-climbing guys like the last one I saw did.

[She-Oy]

Hey! I remember those guys! They seemed to be up there forever. I've seen some pics of this tour, and I didn't notice any acrobats, just lots of cool video. Guess I'll find out in a few days.

[Brice]

Yes, that's usually what happens if I have the money to go.
If I don't then of course I'll know in plenty of time.

[Rjeso]

So, who have you seen live? I'm talkin' about bands, comedians, anything that you've been in the live studio audience for. What were your favorites? Any funny stories? Share!


In no particular order (other than the one that I happen to remember them in):

+ Elton John
+ Billy Joel
+ A Perfect Circle
+ TOOL
+ Audioslave (twice)
+ Chris Cornell solo tour
+ Dave Matthews Band
+ Godsmack (twice)
+ 93X-Fest twice [main acts: Incubus/Audioslave]
+ 93X Nutcracker [main act: Disturbed]
+ 93X Butterball [main acts: Stonesour, Adema, Breaking Benjamin]
+ Various local concerts [best one: Illusive (many times)]
+ Tantric/Silvertide
+ Prince
+ Maroon 5
+ Queensryche/Judas Priest
+ Dream Theater
+ Eric Clapton
+ 311
+ Foo Fighters
+ 30 Seconds to Mars

Since we are also including comedians, I have witnessed the blindingly brilliant comedic stylings of Eddie Izzard. That. Show. Was. Amazing.

I've also been to the Broadway or off Broadway productions of Footloose, Annie Get Your Gun, White Christmas, Movin' Out, Big River, and The Lion King.

Top five concerts would have to be

1. A Perfect Circle
2. Audioslave (the second time)
3. Foo Fighters
4. Billy Joel
5. Cornell solo

I think there have been a couple more concerts, but I'm completely blanking on them right now.

[Girlystevedave]

Green Day
Good Charlotte
Weezer
Matisyahu
(I've seen more, but those were my fav shows)

[Girlystevedave]

Ooh, and Phantom PLanet put on a good show too

[Telynn]

Did you see Elton John and Billy Joel when they there together on tour? I would bet that was a great show.

Some of my favorite shows:

The Grateful Dead (seen em twice, once was Jerry Garcia's birthday and they massively jammed the whole show.)
Zappa
Genesis
Rush
Yes (Unfortunately no Rick Wakemen)
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Billy Joel (many moons ago)
Stevie Ray Vaughn
CSN
Heart
Black Sabbath (with Ozzy)
Plant and Page
The Firm
Supertramp
A surprise for me, John Mellencamp. I liked his music, but didn't realize how high energy his show was.
Moody Blues

That's all I think of.... or remember I guess......

Oh I did see The Eagles back in 1980. They were ok, but I sure wouldn't 100+ dollars to see them today, especially without Joe Walsh.

[Rjeso]

Did you see Elton John and Billy Joel when they there together on tour? I would bet that was a great show.

Nope, separately. Elton John was my first concert, so not too shabby there, heh. Billy Joel has been one of my favorites since I was a little kid, so I HAD to go see him. That was the first and only concert I went to with my dad, it was a blast.

I heard he's touring again, and believe me, it's totally worth the money to see him perform. He's a lot of fun to watch up on stage.

Erin - way, way, way jealous of the Rob Zombie and BNL. I've heard they both put on fantastic stage shows, and they're two of my favorite bands. Did you throw Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese up on stage for BNL? Also, thanks for reminding me of 30StM. I went and saw them before it was widely known that jared Leto was the lead singer. It was in a very small venue, and it still wasn't halfway filled, heh. Fun show, though.

OMG! They were both fantastic! Rob Zombie is super great. He was so engergetic, bouncing all around and drinking tons of beer.

Barnaked Ladies though was freaking incredible. They were SO much fun. At one point, they stopped singing and playing and did a choreographed dance to music with shopping carts and boxes of cereal. I had lawn seats at the outdoor ampitheatre they were playing at, so I didn't personally get to throw the mac and cheese on the stage, but a lot of people closer did. It was so cool.

[Erin]

Oooo, I would die to see Elton John and Billy Joel together or seperate. Or at all. I can't believe I didn't make an effort to go see them when they were touring. I'm angry at myself for it now.

I've also been to the opera and seen a few musicals.
