What concerts have you been to? -

[Cheeseburger Picnic]

I caught the Primus and the Chocolate Factory tour back in 2015, that was one of the underrated pinnacles of rock and roll history tbh

 

[Danskjaevel]

Mostly metal gigs over the years, but a few others too! A selection of my favorites:

-Judas Priest + Hammerfall, 2012 - went with my father, fantastic energy from the entire band, especially Rob Halford.
-Tuska Open Air 2013 - King Diamond, Bolt Thrower, Ihsahn - great to see King, also got Ihsahn's (ex-Emperor) autograph.
-Laibach, both in 2017 and 2019 - an amazing Slovenian industrial/techno band. The second gig might've been the best, since they performed their version of The Sound of Music (something they also did in North Korea) alongside their older hits.
-Mayhem + Gaahl's Wyrd, november 2019 - great to hear classic black metal live, although me and my friend missed Gaahl's band...

I went to see The Offspring last year.
my dad passed a month prior, so i really wanted hear this song, recorded it :

 

[rigors]

Last one I went to was Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and it was amazing.

 

[Islamic Creampie]

Mostly metal stuff.

Alice Cooper in 2008. Fan-fucking-tastic.
Rhapsody of Fire in 2012. Great show. Some dude in an arm cast tried to mosh and got booted out, was very odd. No merch table was a bit of a downer.
Stryper in 2013. Don't remember much about it other than the sound sucked and the venue was hot as fuck.
Sonata Arctica in 2013. Boring. Dragged along by my ex. She was crying and shit.
Mago de Oz in 2013. Even more boring. Ex's friend was crying and shit.

Also saw a bunch of Argentine metal bands that are fairly prominent down there, but nobody outside of the area are likely to have heard of them.

Not been to anything major in years. Nobody ever comes this way.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Went to a Flatfoot 56 concert at a church many years ago. The church had to make sure no one moshed. People managed to sneak a quick pit in, so fission mailed.

 

[Stoneheart]

Pretty much every metal band worth its salt in the last 15 years.
have been to alot of Festivals over the last 2 decades.
The Performer i have seen the most is Doro i guess, she has been to so many Festivals and other shows.
I realy liked her with Sabaton and others 2013(or 14?) and her with Lemmy on their European tour in 2010.

 

[Spastic Colon]

Charlie Daniels band (was a kid, got dragged because they had an extra ticket)
Doobie Brothers (again dragged along because of an extra ticket -- does it count as inhaling if it is second hand pot smoke?)
Rick Springfield (I was a teen girl, don't judge)
The Statler Brothers (State fair)
Tony Orlando and Dawn (State fair)
The Oak Ridge Boys (State fair)
Amy Grant (Church youth group trip to an amusement park and she was performing there)
Michael Jackson
Bob Dylan
Paul McCartney
Rolling Stones
The Cure
KC and the Sunshine Band (only it was just KC really and he was old -- still loved it, though)
Jakob Dylan
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Ani Difranco
Bruce Springsteen 2x (once in an arena and once on Broadway)
BTS (took a young family member to see them -- so definitely don't judge me for this one)

I would have loved to see more bands, but there was only one small concert hall within a couple of hours of my house (grew up in the country) and we never got big names there. Always had to travel to see any big name people and couldn't afford to do that very often. I envy those near large cities who get all the top performers nearby.

 

[EmpireOfTheClouds]

Coheed and Cambria is one of the best live performances i've ever seen.

Curious, what tour did you see them on? They really seem to be hit and miss live. The first time I saw them they were bloody fantastic, it was 2008 when No World For Tomorrow was still really popular, they had a stellar setlist, awesome backup singers (no, really), and to top it all off, the last song was The Final Cut, which went on for 30 FUCKING MINUTES, and it was pure insanity.

Then I saw them in 2010 and it was the most unprofessional performance I've ever seen. Mostly B-grade setlist containing of almost all filler, the band were clearly bored and did not want to be there, they had downtuned almost every song, and then to top it all off, they SHORTENED Welcome Home. It was also not long before Mike's drug problems began to rear their ugly head too, which of course led to the incident that led to his sacking the following year.

Interesting to see that they've apparently improved since 2012. When they opened for Iron Maiden that year, They did fantastic.

(Speaking of opening acts, Baroness opened the first time I saw them, and it was the most pretentious, self indulgent hour of live music I've ever suffered through, and it was easy to tell that most if not all the people in the venue seemed to feel the same... weirdly enough, everyone was fucking jerking off to them a year later.)

 

[HomeAloneTwo]

Curious, what tour did you see them on?

Ive seen them most recently for Color before the sun album and they were really good. Their stage show/lightshow was great on that tour as well. Before that was a few tours with circa survive and some warped tour appearances, which were all really good. I've never seen them at the end of a tour or anything so I can't say how they are at the tail end, but they've gotten way better since they changed bassists. The neverender shows are on youtube and SSTBs show is better than the actual album in my opinion.

 

[Dr. Henry Armitage]

Not many but I've seen
-Amon amarth
-Nightwish
-Sabaton twice
-Blind Guardian
Sabaton is fantastic to see live they have amazing stage presence and really interact with the audience. When I went there was some guy there with his 5-6 year old son and Joakim invited the kid up on stage and took a request from him. After he autographed his sunglasses and gave them to the kid. it was a pretty fucking good night all around. My absolute favorite though was when I saw Blind Guardian. They are my favorite band of all time. I was like 5 feet from the band I cant describe how awesome that night was I didn't want it to end.

[edboy]

I saw Iron Maiden during their Book of Souls tour at The Forum like 3 years ago. I couldn't hear for like 2 days after that. Nice experience overall.

 

[Stoneheart]

Ohh i forgot something! i went to a Santiano concert with my grandma last year. was pretty strange, Its a mix of Sailor chanties, Schlager(the stuff old people hear) and very soft pirat metal. I wouldnt go alone again, but well i went to a concert with my ancient grandma but i didnt wanted to kill myself while there.
She will get ticket to another music show for her next birthday from me, I got her a dArtagnan CD for Christmas and she liked it alot, so i think they could be a good choice. another band that mixes in very soft metal-

 

[Rice Is Ready]

I saw The Growlers and they were amazing also I got to kiss a pretty girl it was a great time.

Was this recently? I saw them in 2017 and had a wonderful time and then again in 2018 and they seemed very over it, just low energy and bored with their own songs, so I passed on their show when they came through my town last year since I was trying to save $ anyway. I'd be stoked to hear that they got their groove back.

This is really cute and nice, I love seeing old folks at shows.

It was 2017 I think. They sounded just like they do on the album.

 

[FadeIntoBolivian]

Too many to recount all of them. Some bigger names/highlights would be..

Daft Punk, Van Halen, Weird Al, Kanye West + Rihanna, Justice, Cut Copy, Ratatat, My Bloody Valentine, Crystal Castles, Fleet Foxes, Bloody Beetroots, Surkin, Sebastien Tellier, Modeselektor, 2ManyDJ's, Shinichi Osawa, Pavement, Fever Ray, La Roux, Beach House, Devo, Flying Lotus, Gorillaz, Gil Scott-Heron, Portishead, Orbital, Matthew Dear, Dragonette, Jimmy Edgar, Objekt, Kode9, Jacques Greene, Blur, Phoenix, Animal Collective, Disclosure, Camera Obscura, The-Dream, Kraftwerk, New Order, Panda Bear, SOPHIE, Neutral M ilk Hotel, Oneohtrix Point Never, Arca, Com Truise, AG Cook, Danny L Harle, Perfume, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mamamoo, Aphex Twin, Bjork, Houston All-Stars, Blood Orange, SHINee, BTS, Red Velvet, Yaeji, Charli XCX, Stephen Malkmus, Severed Heads, Juan Atkins (as Cybotron), Solange

I feel like since music hits you super strong when you're a teenager, My Bloody Valentine at Coachella in 2009 is probably what I would give for a quick "ultimate concert" answer. We were 17 and took the bus from Vancouver to Los Angeles cause we couldn't afford to fly there, mostly based on them having been booked there for their first big concert in like 15+ years. The suspense of the whole moment, how overwhelming they sound live, being there in the california desert, they were the last big thing we saw that weekend, etc, I think it was pretty much top 3 moments where it just felt like everything in life was going as good as it could possibly ever.

 

[Ex Cummunicated Sasser HD]

A recent update:
* Massive Attack

Went to see these in Madrid in 2018. Waited 3 hours and they didn't show in the end.

* The Jesus Lizard

Saw them in the 90's, fantastic band. Ended up with one of David Yow's trainers after he jumped into the crowd. Gave it back to him though.

 

[Ziltoid]

Not nearly as many as I'd like. Disregarding some local folk metal bands, just Nightwish, Rammstein and Finntroll.
