What was the last concert/show you went to and how was it?
 

I wasn't able to find a thread like this so I thought I'd go ahead and start one.
It doesn't matter if it was a music concert, play or comedian. Who was it and would you recommend someone else going to see it?

I last went to see Alkaline Trio and Cursive in towson MD last week and it was unfortunately disappointing to see one of my favorite bands, Alkaline Trio, put on such an un-enthusiastic show and the all ages crowd didn't help either. Matt Skiba's voice sounded off, you could hardly even tell what song he was singing and he never moved from the one spot on the stage. But on the other hand, Cursive, who i was not that big of fan of before that, put on one hell of a good performance. The acoustics at the venue are always great and i did end up hammered, which is alway good. I wouldn't see them again, but they were on my must see list so at least that one is crossed off..

are we all required to post large, blurry pics as well?

preferably yes, but it is not a requirement. :D
It came out larger than expected and it's hard to take good pictures with a iphone in the hand of someone who gets the drunk-shakes

Edit: fixed pic size for you, next time i'll try to take a picture while still sober (highly unlikely though)

Awesome awesomeness. 4 hours of it. No opening band to stink up the place. I hope they tour again before either they or I die.

is that the Indigo girls?

60+ dudes in bands that are no longer relevant = fail

HOW DARE YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT RUSH!

;) I don't think I can listen to ANYONE for 4 hours

If this was my thread I'd have you banned from it.

No, the Saturdays.

damn, i shouldve known....no birkenstocks

And no Smell-o-Monitor, that would have been your first hint.

I'd have to agree for Rush blasphemy alone.

Off to Vegas for 4 days, Jay-Z on Saturday :eek: ....Flame away

I could watch them for 4 hours... if I had ear plugs.

Shouldn't this thread really be in Music Discussion in Park Bench?

Going to see Coheed and Cambria on Friday night in Burlington, Vermont... Will post my thoughts when I get back...

vegas
 

on vacation in vegas.. just saw zumanity last night..off to see penn & teller tonight

Alice in Chains last week..Ok show. STP next week

Soon. That's what I hear. Summer 2011.

Best. Band. Ever.

this looks like a thread for the music discussion part of the forum.

Seen OTEP 4 times and they kick major ass

Saw Henry Rollins do the spoken word thing a couple weeks ago...funny, entertaining and a little bit educational.

it's been a few years, but Staind at Freedom Hall was outstanding. Aaron Lewis is an awesome singer.

Saw Alice in Chains in Feb. Not too bad of a show.

Saw David Gray last week. He puts on a great show. Figured the median age was around 40 or so. It was pretty funny to watch some of the older folks stand up & dance (it was very much a seated show).

Saw STS9 a week earlier. The median age on that one was probably 20. No seating...a lot of tripping.

Ben Folds and DMB are up next...

i loved staind when they first came out but that motherfucker has been whining for the last 10 years. i can't stand it anymore.

they have more than one song? :eek: all his shit sounds the same to me

Carbon Leaf on the 13th of March. Pretty damn good show.

other than mud shovel who gives a shit

Coheed and Cambria...
 

I saw them in Burlington, VT this past week and they are fucking awesome in person. I have tickets to see them in Boston in May so I'm looking forward to it even more now...

They played a very good arrangement of their songs (old and new from their album releasing next month in the stores or this month on DSF) but unfortunately they didn't play "Ten Speed" or "Gravemakers and Gunslingers"

saw gogol bodello back in december, was pretty sweet

New tour starts June 29, 2010


(Toronto ? Thursday, April 8th 2010) - Rush ? Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart ? is without question one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock history, equally famed for both its virtuoso musicianship and provocative songwriting.

Announced today, The Time Machine Tour is an evening with Rush, where they will perform their classics, give a taste of the future ? and for the first time ever ? feature the Moving Pictures album live in its entirety.

The band is currently working on their 20th studio album with producer Nick Raskulinecz (co-producer from 2007?s Snakes & Arrows) and in addition to their classics plan to showcase a few new tunes live this summer.

ATHF LIVE - KILLER ILLER

got to meet them afterwards, got some stuff signed. Dave and Dana were really nice.when Dave signed my dvd for me he told me i should have just downloaded them online.

Doc Hammer, Jackson Publick and Mike Sinterniklaas were also there

I saw Killah Priest from the Wu-Tang Clan by himself. Pretty good show, he definitely got the crowd moving. Blueprint was also supposed to be there but he never showed.

John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan. Mellencamp put on a great show - engaged the crowd, voice was strong, and a great band. Dylan on the other hand sounded like a shy sulky teenager with throat cancer. His band kicked ass, with Charlie Sexton on guitar, but Dylan didn't engage the crowd at all. Just came out, propped himself behind the keyboard, and sang one song after another. Something strange was that they brought the lights all the way down after each song. We stayed to the end, but there were people streaming out from about the fifth song in.

dave matthews, alman bros.

2007 atlanta

2 weeks ago I saw the Ataris and all there pop punk goodness at a dive bar in West Texas.

Roger Waters - The Wall Live, last night in San Jose. Totally worth the $70 I paid for tix, not sure it would have been if I'd gone for $600 floor seats, but it was still epic.

Scissor Sisters Nightwork tour.

A great night out.
