ok, post 'em ... Epic Concerts You've Been To

Fugazi, ramones, Willie Nelson, Metallica, greatful dead, Jerry Garcia, Levon helm, slayer, merle haggard, bad brains, Robert plant and Tom curren playing drums at a house party in new Brunswick back in 94.

 

I know we are on the concert thing, but I thought it would be worth noting some of the amazing DJs I have seen (late 90's rave scene).
Kimbal Collins
Bad Boy Bill
Technical Itch
AK1200
Dara
Dieselboy
Decoder
DJ Venom

Those were some crazy times.

 

The Who and The Clash at Shea stadium sneaked onto the field front row couldn't hear for day Rolling Stones Tattoo You tour 13th row Social Distortion at Coney Island High

 

no one really good that good

bush
motley crue
nickleback for some reason.

im very jealous of all the got to see zeppelin.

 

These boys love sharing their musical tastes !!

I've never been to a concert in my life. Oh, sorry, I went to a Yes show at The Tower Theater becuase I was pressured to, and we stayed for two songs. I like Yes, I just don't like immersing myself in crowds of people jiggling around and throwing their hands in the air. That type of behavior disturbs me. Oh, I went to an OZ Fest in Camden one year but never left the parking lot.

I don't really like The Grateful Dead, but I used to dig their parking lot scenes. Man, we got some Zeppelins at a show in Boston that has us sitting out in a field in the pouring rain all night. And the Providence scene was killer, too. Philly, not so much. Philly Deadheads - is like an oxymoron...a paradox.......

Hey SUP, you sure you didn't miss a few bands on your list? Ha ha

 

this year. Paul McCartney in DC. on the field. 3rd Eye Blind, VB Festival.
Overall... Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, Grateful Dead, Blue Oyster Cult, Steppenwolf, Kiss, Vienna Symphony, Robert Plant (Zeppelin), Molly Hatchet,

 

+1 double up on that...Sabbath '75 MSQ ....EPIC!

 

But he doesn't build NZSM inspired surfboards Charles Taylor.

Great thread, man you guys who got to experience the 70s/early80s are some lucky mofo's. Of all the stuff I saw listed if I could go back in time for one I'd see Talking Heads Stop Making Sense Tour or the Grateful Dead in their prime. Here's some of mine, in no particular order...Beck(early on), Bad Religion, David Byrne, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Ween, Pennywise...I can't think anymore two days in the ocean has corrected my brain and limited my internet attention span...used to go to see local hardcore bands as a kid, saw Hatebreed come up which was pretty cool, shows used to be crazy, definitely witnessed a couple proper riots.


Man how could I forget, The Dead in 09 and a bunch of Furthur shows(and they hold it down as far as dead tunes go IMO).

 

Yeah actually I forgot Fallen Sickness, Big Wig (twice), The Expendables, The Pie Tasters, Skankin Pickle, Save Ferris, Slapstick, Mephiskapheles, and Skatalites. Forgot bout those hahaha

Oh, and i'm pretty sure I saw NOFX at Janus Landing (now Janus Live) but was too intoxicated to remember any of it, hope it was a good one!

 

You are a complete tool... Please shut up Nancy

 

srv @ el mocambo. ftw.

 

phish in hampton like 13 times... (their favorite venue, at a recent show there were something like 600 felony drug arrests)

Modest Mouse at the Norva was pretty awesome

Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, Best night ever.

U2 with Louie Austin in the lawn of an Austrian castle on New year's eve 2008

Lots of great punk from the days of the boathouse... pennywise, blackflag, Social D, etc

Haven't seen much lately though, they all go past my bedtime these days

Ha, oh yeah, saw citizen cope come (this close) to ODing back stage at the norva and saw 4 security guards giving him smelling salts and pouring cold water on him not 20 minutes before the show started. Concert was awful.

 

Yeah that sounds like a good one you got to attend, that's as chill as it gets right there

 

you are a blatant metro-sexual. do you sing along to jackoff johnson at the nail salon?

 

Following me around now are you? One little white van joke and you're off and running. You're like a wind up doll, just pull the string and watch you go.

 

Too many to remember but here's a few:
Phish (30+ times)
Pearl Jam a dozen or so times but the best was the show to close the Spectrum.
Eddie Vedder solo 2x
Ben Harper a few times - most recently solo at Carnegie Hall which was awesome
Ziggy Marley a few times
STP
Rage
Furthur
Dylan 3x
Dave Matthews twice - both sucked
Ratdog
Korn before they were big
311 before they got lame
Allman Bros post Duane
A couple of Lollapaloozas in the mid/late 90s. One headlines by Sonic Youth but Beck and Cypress Hill were better
Les Paul at the Iridium just before he died
U2 3x (Yankee Stadium 1992, Meadowlands 2011, MSG 2005)
Primus
Derek Trucks
BB King
The first Bonaroo

There are more, but I can't remember them right now.

 

^ all those other bands are good but phish is one of the worst bands ive ever heard and have no idea why. not trying to bash your taste in phish but can i get a general consensus on if phish is a good or bad band?

 

My buddy's got an extra ticket for Pearl Jam, they're coming to CT in Oct I think...debating going. It's a friday night and I don't wanna be all tired if there's waves that weekend.

***sandblasters I hear ya on Phish, nothing against them they just don't do much for me. I think it's consensus they're all talented musicians though.
