What was the last concert/show you went to?

Buckethead was AWESOME!!! Some guy called Wolff opened, and showed us what was possible with a tuba and some sound mixing equipment. Didn't get any toys, but not for a lack of trying. There was a sweet Black and Decker chainsaw that I really wanted, but missed out on. The slight breakdancing was awesome, as was the nunchaku skills display.

Glad to hear you liked it! He's really a great performer. You'd be surprised how many albums he has out, he comes out with 2-3 a year but they're rarely available anywhere major. Not sure if you have any yet, but check out Monsters & Robots, Giant Robot and Elephant Man's Alarm Clock.

And to Nifty, Down can do no wrong, I've never seen them put on a bad show. Sad to see that Rex is still not back, hope he gets better. At my show in Philly Melvins were not with them and I was kinda disappointed. Did Weedeater open too? They were pretty stupid.
 
I went to a bunch of concerts this summer. My best friend is in Whitechapel, so I went to two Rockstar Mayhem tours. I went to Blink-182. I help a photographer a lot, so I get to meet tons of famous people, like Wayne Static, Black Label Society, All That Remains, etc. I listen to allll sorts of bands, so my summer was a crazy eclectic mix :)

They had all of them lined up on the counter at the t-shirt vendor. There were probably at least 15 available. I have "Decoding the Tomb of the Bansheebot", and feel that it is a superb album. If any of the rest of them are anywhere near the quality of that one, then they should be pretty sweet.
 
Last weekend I saw Reel Big Fish and Suburban Legends in Santa Cruz at The Catalyst.

This Friday I am going to see Pepper also at The Catalyst.

:3

One of my co-workers was supposed to go to that show, too.
 
Ducky Boys, Confront, Everybody Out!, Have Nots, and Burning Streets yesterday at Harpers Ferry in Allston
 
Went to see U2 last night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.

Awesome show and the stage for this 360 tour is really something...

My girlfriend was there. She said the setlist was all shitty new songs and overplayed radio hits. No catalog stuff, no really old stuff. She was bored.
 
saw fuckin journey and night ranger last night lol.. but the real deal comes in October, we've got Stone Temple Pilots/Meat Puppets, then Shinedown/Sick Puppies and like the next night Kiss/Buckcherry show.

Damn. I'm seeing them next Tuesday at Fed Ex Field (way too large a venue imo, but whatever). Since their new album was, to put it frankly, a terrible piece of garbage, I was really hoping they would play some more classics.
 
Arctic Monkeys put on a fun show. Almost the entire crowd was dancing. I'm not a huge fan on the Airborne Toxic Event, but they put on a solid show. I liked their cover of Q Lazzarus' "Goodbye Horses" from Silence of the Lambs. I got there late so I missed most of The Like.

Also, there was confetti falling from the rafters that was left behind by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. :lol: There were red Y's everywhere.


-----------

Russian Circles are coming here in November! :)
 
I can't wait to see them this upcoming Monday. That's pretty funny, about the Y's. I still have one on my bookshelf.

Circles are coming again over here too. Have you ever seen them live?
 
Saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs Saturday night in Atlantic City, great show; Karen O definitely has stage presence. Pretty good mix of new vs old stuff.

Set list:
Sealings, Cold Light, Heads Will Roll, Pin, Shame and Fortune, Dull Life, Gold Lion, Down Boy, Hysteric, Soft Shock, Cheated Hearts, Zero. Encore was Maps and Date with the Night.
 
Just saw a Craig Owens solo show two nights after he was kicked out of Chiodos. It was a great show, very intimate with the limit of the venue at 100 people.
 
I saw Pearl Jam with Ben Harper & Relentless7 last night. It was a fantastic show, both bands had tons of energy.

Here's the setlist
Of the Girl
Breakerfall
Hail Hail
Severed Hand
The Fixer
Low Light
Marker in the Sand
Even Flow
Unthought Known
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town
Got Some

Just Breathe
Red Mosquito
Daughter
Supersonic
Spin the Black Circle
-
I Believe in Miracles (Ramones cover)
Crazy Mary (Victoria Williams cover)
Alive

So I offloaded my U2 ticket for tonight. In the end I just had no interest in seeing them play their crappy new album in front of about 90,000 people at fricking Fed Ex Field of all places (I've never seen a concert there, but I can't imagine a worse venue for one). Maybe I'll end up regretting it, but I doubt it.
 
Japandroids 9/24/09 @ Mercury Lounge
Sunny Day Real Estate 9/27/09 @ Terminal 5
Mono / Maserati 9/28/09 @ Bowery Ballroom

All 3 were great shows. I had low expectations for Japandroids' live show, but was pleasantly surprised. Sunny Day did not disappoint, and played a lot of the songs I wanted to hear. I've seen mono several times before, and they were very good as usual. It was my first time seeing Maserati, and the drummer is insane, I can't say enough good things about him. A good week of shows, but I'm very tired, and I almost went to see Phoenix on saturday as well. As much as I would have liked to, I think my body is glad I didn't.
 
Alice Cooper, ten Minutes ago. Excellent fun high energy show that tied in lots of songs into the story. Played all the classics and a few underappreciated tracks. I was seven feet from stage.

That's great. I was wondering if I'd find someone that was at Sunny Day Real Estate. My favorite band.

I'm not much for watching concerts anymore but I had to see them and their reunion tour.
 
I went to the Green Day concert in Sacramento, CA back in August. Franz Ferdinand opened.

Franz played for almost 1 hour and Green Day played for about 3 & 1/2 hours. Yes, 3.5 hours.

It was insane. Easily the best concert I have ever seen.
 
Got back from the Gallows concert about 2 hours ago. The show was insane. A fight broke out halfway into the first song mosh pit was massive and the supporting bands weren't shabby too. Oh yeah and even though the venue was against crowd surfing and stage diving nobody gave a damn once things were getting crazy. Frank Carter even joined the crowd on several occasions and sung in the middle of the room while being surrounded by everyone. I'd love to see Gallows again.
Also there was another fight at the end of the show. They started to play the encore again but just gave up a minute into it haha.
 
[quote name='Bioshocked360']I saw Built To Spill, Disco Doom, and Future of the Ghost on Saturday. [/QUOTE]


I saw Built To Spill and Disco Doom two Fridays ago.

The following night I saw the Trail Of Dead with The Secret Machines. I got to talk to Conrad Keely after the show, which was pretty cool.

I'm going to see Dinosaur Jr. in about a week -- I'm really excited about that.

Also, I just got my Pixies tickets in the mail.
 
Angelspit/KMFDM on Friday...

I Fight Dragons/Whole Wheat Bread/MC Chris on Saturday!

I Fight Dragons really kicked ass, and I highly advise people look into them http://ifightdragons.com/

Whole Wheat Bread did an insane cover of Bulls on Parade, which rocked.

MC Chris was MC Chris. I don't need to say more, it was fucking awesome.
 
KISS: Alive at 35, last night at the casino in CT.

Its a leftover bucket-list thing from the 70's for me..I realize they are well outside their prime, but they still put on a great stage show. Not many bands out there doing the crazy pyro and theatrics, plus I am a KISS fan from back in the day so songs like I LOVE IT LOUD and C'Mon and Love Me are still worthy of singing along to. (Yes, its shameful to admit to liking pop-rock...but like Alice Cooper said about the Bee Gee's: "Its the kind of music you love, but only when the windows are rolled up and nobody can see you".

Show was good, but the crowd was just fucking lame. I mean, it was like half kids with their parents (which was cool but we are talking like..7, 8, 9, 10 year old kids..and a LOT OF THEM).....but the other half seemed to be 350lb women and 450lb men who were more into their Nacho Plates and Frozen Coolatas than they were into the show. I was surrounded by people that vaguely looked like my neighbors, who all groaned when they had to stand up and whos idea of getting into the show was some lethargic clapping and head-nodding.

*sigh*

Oh well.....if they come around again, and I feel like throwing another $100 down for a ticket to see old guys shake their asses in platform heels, I might just try to find a more energetic seating section..after all at a KISS show the entire idea is to get drunk and act retarded, you can't take this shit too seriously.
After all...you're at a Kiss show...you're already a cliche', may as well embrace it!

PS: Most frightening sight of the evening: watching a row of 300lb heffer chicks grinding and gyrating to BUCKCHERRY's "Crazy Bitch" final song. oh my god...so wrong....the horror...the horror....

PPSS: BuckCherry fucking suck. Its like looking at the worlds worst Janes Addiction cover band....no...no wait...the worlds worst LA GUNS cover act :p
 
I Fight Dragons/Whole Wheat Bread/MC Chris are in Columbus, OH tonight at Skullys, 6 PM I think, $15 at the door, all ages, $3 cover charge under 21. Anyone in the area should go see them. It'll be an awesome show.
 
[quote name='st0neface']Silversun Pickups on Friday, they put on a pretty damn good show.[/QUOTE]

They're playing in CT in a few weeks but tickets are ~$30. Not sure if my love of SSPU will permit me to spend that much money on one of their shows.

Living Colour at the Double Door in Chicago last night

Best damn show I've ever seen. Just a incredibly good performance and they played for over 3 hours!
