What concerts have you been to?

[Jessweeee♪]

The only big name I've seen is Tool. It was bad though 'cause I had the worst seat ever. The highest top row furthest to the left. It was impossible to see the stage, I was sort of behind it. I go to see local bands in town on a weekly basis, that's a lot more fun for me.

I'm not much of a concert goer. Do ACL and SXSW stuff count? If not, then I've really only been to one, which was Beach House. They played at a venue called The House of Blues.

They had an opening act--a solo act named Dustin Wong who does a lot of experimental music and often performs in Japan (he's apparently half-Chinese half-Japanese and is fluent in the latter). I thought it was cute, and my best friend found it very amusing... so much so that toward the end of his set, in-between songs, my friend randomly yelled out, "WILL YOU DATE MY FRIEND?!" We were very near the front and center, so yeah, he heard that. I was mortified. I hid my face behind my hands, so I didn't see Dustin's reaction, but according to my bff, he just smiled and blushed.

During Beach House's set, we kept hearing people request the song "Take Care" behind us. Like, okay, it's a good song, but why the huge need? They finally did play it toward the end of the show, and as they did, we heard cheering and gasps and stuff right behind us (the place was standing room only, btw), and we turned to see a guy on one knee, proposing to his girlfriend. Cute.

Also, we drank. Pretty good night.

There are probably some other bands from free shows and such, but this is all I can think of at the moment.

ok was that one on purpose?

[Alive-Cat]

Remembering back to seeing The Prodigy it's quite funny thinking about it - we were seated because there were no more standing tickets left. At one point I accidentally spilled my drink on the two people in front of us and they looked really angry and mean at me so I cried really loads for like the whole first half hour, my brother was annoyed so started trying to have a fight with them until we calmed him down. Weird times! But then it was a good concert after that

I'm not a concert goer. I like pretty few actually known bands, and they rarely come anywhere close to where I live. I've seen some underground electro groups/artists live, but you've probably never heard of them.

[Jessweeee♪]

Oh I forgot I accidentally went to an Alien Ant Farm concert once. Went to a bar across town to check out a couple of my favorite local bands and oh there's a cover today well ok that's fine oh Alien Ant Farm is here? Oh cool I remember liking their songs featured in the Tony Hawk games

[Shorty]

One day I will see a show with Nicky!

I've seen somewhere between 60-70 bands live, I think. Big ones I can think of without looking at my list are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, The Used, Jenny Lewis, Jenny and Johnny, Heartless Bastards, Marilyn Manson, KoRn, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Handsome Furs, Peter Murphy, Gogol Bordello, She Wants Revenge, Cursive, Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, Jeff Mangum, Panic! At the Disco, fun., Placebo, Voltaire. I'm sure I'm missing some, and there are bunches of secondary bands mixed into the numbers as well, with a lot of repeat performances on Alkaline Trio, Voltaire, Handsome Furs, Heartless Bastards, Death Cab, Jeff Mangum, etc.

I love live shows, but as I get older (that sounds so lame) I find that I don't really want to put up with the crowds, hassle, or ticket pricing anymore. I'm going to see Brand New finally later this year after waiting thirteen years to see them. After that, my bucket list only contains The Cure, David Bowie and Fall Out Boy.

oh right, i did go to one concert that people might have heard of. I went to 65daysofstatic a few years ago because they were playing in some small place in my town. It was pretty cool.

[StarCross1988]

I've never been to one, but I have tickets to see Fall Out Boy and Paramore on Tuesday. Such excite!

[escobert]

I have seen TONS of acts live but anything of noteworthiness? not really Most are local or smaller semi local bands. My favorites being Twiddle, Jatoba and Hot Day at The Zoo.
