Concerts

[Shorty]

Eeee, you saw The Postal Service, too!

[Calliope]

I'm glad you saw J5, I saw them at their last concert (Auckland, 2008) and it was magical. I hope they go on a wider tour.

I keep meaning to make a post in this thread but it's a bit overwhelming.

That's so amazing! Do you know if Jenny Lewis was there?

[Miriel]

She was! She and Ben Gibbard were dancing together the whole set.

[Shorty]

aaaaaah I freaking lost my head when she came onstage! I'm glad you enjoyed the show; Coachella sounds really awesome.

here's Jenny dueting with Ben at the Las Vegas show I went to

and what the hell, here's such great heights

The best visual show I went to was an Alice Cooper concert in 2001.
The best musical concert was watching Roger Waters perform The Wall in it's entirety in 2010.

I've seen a lot of really awesome concerts but those two took the top.

MS MR - Hurricane (Official video) - YouTube
so good

tonight i'm going to Anamanaguchi
Anamanaguchi - ?MEOW? (Official Music Video) - YouTube

you bet yo ass im tired but i will

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Oh! I'm going to Anamanaguchi on the 30th, assuming everything goes well. I've never really listened to them before, though. I'm not sure if it will be my thing, but it'll be a fun, cheap concert regardless.

[Pheesh]

I saw black sabbath and then tenacious D this month. Black Sabbath weren't very good, but it was awesome just to see them play with Ozzy (before that I'd seen Ozzy play by himself and Black Sabbath with Dio). Tenacious D were awesome though, so smurfing hilarious, and I had a great night.

[theundeadhero]

That's kinda sad.
Black Sabbath with Ozzy were awesome when I saw them in 2001.

jeeeezok so
i have some tips
pro tips
to divulge for this show
if you are not interested in being a part of the mosh pit that's going to form and devour everyone within the first 5-10 meters of the stage depending on venue
do not enter that area during the rush after the second opener

i had no idea so many people could crowd surf in such a small space at once

[Scotty_ffgamer]

Thanks for the heads up. I would not have expected that at this venue, but I'll just stay off to the side and play it safe I guess.
