Best Concert You've Ever Been To?

I used to go to a ton of local shows when I was in High School. Just about every weekend for years. We would see MANY MANY bands that arn't very well known but still play a great show.

For the last few years I've only been to a couple of performaces, including my favorite of all time!

I have been a long time Phish fan and this summer I went to my first Phish show with a life long friend and it was AMAZING!

 
I know this thread is super old, but apparently I'm not sleeping any time tonight so I'll chime in.

I love going to concerts and my most favorite was Godsmack and Disturbed. It was amazing.

 
I saw Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Soundgarden and Ice Cube at Lollapalooza in 1991....Pretty amazing.

Roger Waters doing the Wall solo in Atlanta was pretty incredible.   Rush in Greensboro Nc last year was awesome!

 
The Atl really does...I am a long ways away though.  My little Hamlet gets good shows on 

occasion.   I usually have to travel 4-6 hours to see major shows...like the Roger Waters show.  I am 

going to see WSP in the spring....for about the 70th time.  They always put on a great show!

 
Freddy Mercury in August 1986 (Knebworth Park)

RIP Freddy.....you were the very best (IMO)

 
I seen ABC a few weeks ago, they played their first album "Lexicon of Love" in its entirety, after a medley of other hits. It was fantastic though not the best I have ever been to, I couldn't pick a favourite anyway, if you have a great time and love the music, they are all your favourites!

What you think of their new album? I thought it was brilliant.
Best concert by far I went to was HIM in 2013. It was a small venue and it was just brilliant.

I definitely love their older stuff better, but the new  album isn't bad.  I enjoy their music and my daughter's favorite Godsmack song is "Voodoo", she's only 7 so I consider that a parenting win /default_biggrin.png.

 
Definitely a parenting win!!   I drive my daughter to school every morning and I have experimented with

everything from the Allman Brothers to Iron Maiden.   She digs the Brothers and is hot and cold on the Maiden.  I am

trying prevent the introduction of Taylor Swift and any other soulless pop diva into my home!   I think I will try Primus next.....

Wish me Luck!

 
Best one i have been to was a radio station Christmas concert. All the bands playing were just becoming famous. The line-up was Muse, Modest Mouse, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers.

 
It really was a great concert. Another good one my husband and i drove from MO to Nashville, TN to see 2 smaller bands called Kiss Kiss (they have nothing to do with the band kiss) and The Venetia Fair. Only about 10 people attended and we got to meet the bands which was a really neat experience. Kiss Kiss also let me choose some of the set list. The only thing that sucked is we had to be back the next morning for a family thing so we had to leave as soon as the concert was over to drive back to St. Louis. I have a few other concert stories but none as great as those two :)

 
Not that they're around much, but ten (ish) years ago when Saliva was semi-touring we went to a venue in Florida while we were on vacation and my husband found one of the band guys wallets and returned it to them and they were so surprised that someone would do that we drank for free with them. We were much younger then and I doubt we could hang now because that was one hell of a hangover the next day, but that concert was amazing. We don't do much together, but concerts are our "thing". We were at a charity event working and got to see Drivin' N Cryin'.  Last summer we saw The Steve Miller Band and Journey. I was so surprised that the venue was packed for that one!

That sounds awesome JenG. You and your husband were awesome for returning the wallet and got a great story to tell out of it :)

 
I used to go see Gordon Lightfoot a lot with my mom, man those were the best of times...haven't seen him in a few years, he had some health problems...

 
The best concert I have ever been to is happening soon.

Omg. I.have.a.ticket.to:

Disturbed   March 12th @ Showbox !!!###!!!!

I cant describe how excited I am. I love Disturbed! Always have always will. David Draiman- His voice <3

I got my plane ticket- Frontier because Im cheap :)

Room booked- The Westin because I hate cheap hotel rooms and will have to walk to the club.

I cant believe I get to see one of my favorites at a smaller venue.!!!! I need to breath......whew. holy shit. I overpaid because they were sold out but  I dont care :):)

Okay any Seattlites- see you in three weeks. This time Im bringing my own shit. And Im not coming lite for what I know will be the best concert ever!!!!!!

 
Lol @girlgerms your excitement is palpable. Makes me wish I was looking forward to a big concert myself. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

 
I have been to too many concerts to name....I love going to shows and I am (hopefully) going to a Widespread Show in Sept in Fla.   I was listening to Metallica the other day and it brought back memories of the And Justice for all Show I saw in 1988.  The concert was absolutely amazing.....Queensryche opened up for them and basically got booed off the stage.....I think they were a little too soft for the crowd.   The concert was at the Eppelheim Eissporthalle in Germany and was a 20 minute walk from my house.   It was the second show I had ever been to and it hooked me on live music forever.  My ears were ringing for 3 days after that show!!! What a blast!!!

  1. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  2. P @ psychedpsych: Whew, long night of giving rides. How's y'all's night go? Im debating driving for 2 more rides to hit my goal, should I keep going?
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
