What was the last concert/show you went to?

[quote name='rabbitt']Damn right you do. Try Rad Warehouses Bad Neighborhoods. There's a remix by Dan Deacon on there.[/QUOTE]
Sounds good. You need to check out Shellac, by the way.
 
Last show I went to was Yo La Tengo on Dec 11.

For those going to see Dan Deacon and/or The Deathset you are in for a treat. Both are just amazing live, especially Dan. I don't think any performer owns a crowd like he does and it's absolutely impossible to leave without a smile on your face.
 
I went to the Dancing with the Stars tour last week. You may think I'm a loser, but it was well worth it to me. Even if you don't like the show, if you appreciate good dancing, it's a good time. Also, Wayne Newton sang three songs, so I guess it could also be considered a concert. :lol: He sounds really rough though.
 
Hmm, I can barely remember. I guess it was Clutch at the Silo in Reading PA back in the spring. Hard to believe I haven't been to a show since then though...
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Does Isis sound familiar?

I only ask because my friend saw Tool last fall, too, and Isis opened. He missed them as well, haha.[/QUOTE]

:drool: I wouldn't pay Tool ticket prices to see Isis, but I'd much, much, much rather see them play than Tool.

I last saw The Reverend Horton Heat w/ Hank Williams III and Nashville Pussy. I think that was the last show I saw, anyway.
 
in 2006 i saw nine inch nails for a third time, radiohead 2 two days in a row, deftonesfor the first time, tool for a second time, i cant even remember really i know i saw way more shows than that.

i saw them open for tool. their sound was really crappy. but ill atribute it to the venue, and not to them cuz i love that in the absence of truth cd
 
[quote name='Maklershed']OMG I hate you. Soooo jealous.

And for me .. my last concert was Australian Pink Floyd show in November at the Hershey Theater in Hershey, PA. If you guys are even the slightest Pink Floyd fan and APF plays near you, go see them! You will not be disappointed. They basically copy Pink Floyd verbatim visually and audio wise from the Pulse concert. They even have the big circular screen with all the same videos and the giant inflatable pig.[/quote]

Hey Mak, you live in the central PA area? I noticed that you play guitar. Do you play acoustic? I need a decent acoustic player for a project I'm trying to put together. BTW, I was lucky enough to see Floyd on the tour they used for the Pulse album. Incredible show. I was ten rows from the stage.

If you asked me 5 or more years ago I could've helped you but I havent played in awhile and I suck anymore. :cry:

Are Isis hit or miss with shows or something? When I saw them headline for jesu, they were pretty boring. No stage presence, and every song sounded the same (holds true for their CDs, but it's irritating live).

Woah. You're going to levy that as a criticism of Isis when you attended a jesu show!?!?!
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Woah. You're going to levy that as a criticism of Isis when you attended a jesu show!?!?![/quote]

I know where you're coming from, but to me jesu sounds so much more varied. Not so much on single albums (I'll admit, songs on a single album tend to blend together. It's a fault in all drone), but album to album they have a distinct sound that I can differentiate and appreciate. All the Isis I've heard I can put on shuffle and pretty much heard the same track endlessly.

But, of course I'm going to say that, I'm a stupidly massive jesu fanboy.

Actually, I just remembered it was Trans Am. Apparently they're pretty good but I wouldn't know.

I wasn't a fan of 10,000 Days, so I wasn't expecting too much from the show; but it wasn't a CD tour so they actually played a lot of earlier songs. It was actually a really good show.

As far as ticket prices go MykeVermin, they weren't any more expensive than any other concert with assigned seating. Now if you're not a fan of the band, that's a seperate issue altogether. Personally, it's the Ticketmaster fees I don't appreciate.
 
[quote name='coolz481']The New Pornographers in Washington DC back in October. I've seen them live 3 times now and the band gets bigger each time. NPR has a podcast of the show on their website under 'all sounds considered' if you're interested.

I'm going to the Langerado festival in early March in south Florida with the Beastie Boys headlining Friday night and REM Saturday night. I especially excited about REM since they'll probably debut all of their upcoming album material at the show.[/QUOTE]

I'm very jealous of you being able to see REM. I have a great opportunity to see them when they come to Austin in March. The problem? They're headlining SXSW and I'd have to pay $500+ for an all music pass.

Anyway, the last concert I went to was actually a tribute concert. I went to the Jeff Buckley annual Tribute concert here in town on November 17. It was great.
 
I went to Nightmare before Chrsitmas in SD around December 9th.

Seether, Bad Religion, Angels & Airwaves, Against me! and The Transit War

Not a bad show, but I was rather annoyed that Seether only played a fucking 30 minute (6 song) set.
 
Last one for me was HIM (His Infernal Majesty) back in October at someplace in downtown Baltimore, MD.

It was a rockin' show in a small place (I was about maybe 10 ft from the stage, near the front), the only down side was that they didn't do an encore...but thats cool, still good none-the-less.
 
Last show I went to was Circa Survive, Fear Before the March of Flames, Dear and the Headlights; in Charlotte, NC.

It was awesome. I wish I had time to go to more shows though.

Ive seen Tool twice. Once in 1998 and again last year at Bonnaroo. You havent heard Tool till youve seen them live. Theyre albums cant begin to show how amazing they truely are. To top it off Tom Morello came out and played a good minute and a half solo on La te ra lus.
 
Last Thursday @ Terminal 5 in NYC:

Editors
Hot Hot Heat
Louis XIV

I loves me some Editors but HHH actually gave a better performance.
 
[quote name='hiccupleftovers']Flogging Molly in March right around Saint Patty's day is my next concert.[/quote]
Awww dude. You are a lucky man. I saw them two or three years ago in Philly on Saint Patty's day. It was awesome. Everyone was trashed on Guinness and dancing. Even if you were standing still on the floor you were jumping because the floor was bouncing/shaking so much from everyone else stomping and what not. Definitely one of, if not, the most charged up shows I've ever been to.

 
[quote name='Warlock TCK']Clutch, December 28 at the Starland Ballroom[/quote]

Murder By Death opened, right?

They're awesome...I'm sorry I missed them this time around.
 
The Police - Xcel Energy Center - July 3rd
Only paid $48 for two lower level seats at the last minute via eBay. I certainly got my money's worth out of the show.

Before that....

Roger Waters - Xcel Energy Center - June 30th
Best concert ever. Rumor has it he's coming back again this year. Must go again.
 
[quote name='anomynous']Never been to one, but I'm gonna be seeing Rush on 6/28[/quote]
They're great, but get there on time! Im used to concerts starting late and when I last saw Rush in the summer, they started at 7:30pm just like it said in the ticket. And they do alot of hits right out the box. Most bands concerts are newstuff, then hits, then big hits. With Rush its hits, newstuff, big hits. So dont be late! lol
 
The Show is the Rainbow with two crappy bands at the Box Awesome in Lincoln, NE, like two weeks ago. He's actually my former guitar teacher/neighbor, but he's pretty big in indie circles, but at the same time, not known at all. Pretty weird situation, actually.

He plays a crazy show. If he ever comes to some place near you, go.

Also, Dan Deacon is great live. My friend has a bunch of videos of the show we went to last year, which you can find on his YouTube page.

I haven't seen Bad Religion in nearly four years. I need to.
 
Mindless Self Indulgence - August 2007 in Charlotte. Shorter than their usual sets because it was at Projekt Revolution. They still tore it up. I may have to drive my ass across Virginia to see them in May.

Marilyn Manson
Ours

Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC
Weds, Jan 30

Decent show. Great energy. Nice to see Twiggy back on stage. The setlist was a little tame for my liking...not a single song from the Portrait of an American Family days. And if I never hear Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" again that would be just fine.
