First concert? I don't remember the bands, was in a more than moderately altered state at the time, at the theatre on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune shortly after I rotated back from a tour overseas in 76. I remember seeing the music coming out of the stacks...so that should give you some indication of the state I was in. :)

Best? Yeah that one I'll never forget, a concert for the ages. Kansas, the concert that created the bootleg album "Monolith in the Storm", July '79 at Alpine Valley, in a colossal thunderstorm. Out on the grass, soaked to the bone, properly buzzed with good friends; the band's music counterpointed by raging thunder and their laser show upstaged by volley after volley of lightning. There will never be another show like it.

Most recent, Blue Rodeo last year in Victoria BC, on Vancouver Island. Good solid show, tight band...as always.

Wow best one so far. Lollapalooza was pretty epic for me, but that Kansas show, man I bet that was an experience.

Carry on, my wayward son Big smile

1st major concert (well it was actualy a festival ) was back in 89 the reading festival as i had just moved to the town and the headline act was the mission ( wayne hussy) what a fkn awesome atmosphere id heard him before and sort of like the goth scene anyways but to see them live blew my mind ! been following that type of music ever since ( no ! not the fkn emo shite )


too many bands have been seen since to mention them all between then and now but my last music weekender was this one ( missus is an avid fan so I put up with it ) and my next one is this one because my wifes band is playing there ... shes the lead singer in the 1st band that's playing



lol if anyone bothers to watch the 1st link the bloke playing the double base is now in prison for benefit fraud . hes in the 1st 30 seconds or so

oh and top tip don't whatever you do hitch a lift in a car driven by my missus ...you will end up clubbing her to death when she starts putting her music on it drives me bloody insane at times Evil

I agree that a big part of the mainstream rap is fake, still that doesn't give you a reason to tell me to **** off...
Also, there is a very big chunk of real rap with meaningful lyrics, And I don't only listen to rap.

But hey, let me tell you something, I'm not going to defend myself or the music that I love to some ignorant short sighted idiot.
People like you are the reason I hate the majority of the goths and alternative music fans, showing off how progressed your music taste is and don't tolerate other genres.

In the meantime, I'll roll another spliff and blast my favorite tunes please don't bother to check it out Jason, according to your previous reactions in this thread, you're probably to ignorant to understand good poetic rhymes.

P.S
I find it quite ironic, that two of the biggest misconception about hiphop, is that hiphop is disrespectful to women ( I agree there are some fake rappers talking about ho's and bitches all the time, but this is not the majority ) and it's all about criminal activities. Still you're the one talking about musicians ending up in jail or clubbing your wife to death.

I appreciate everyone's input, even if I personally may not like their chosen genres. I'm more interested in the experience, the feelings, etc.

So, I thought of a concert that surprised me. My mother is a big Elton John fan, so when he came to Knoxville I bought a couple of tickets so I could take her. Now, I do like that old song of his "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," but thats as far as Elton and I go. That said, I actually really enjoyed the show! He is without a doubt one of the best showmen Ive seen. Man he's like a ball of lightening bouncing all over the stage, bouncing, jumping on, standing on his piano bench, etc. I was really impressed.

I always preferred music without lyrics, and you can listen to it on any concert, anywhere in the world and have fun equally as anybody.

well that escalated quickly.

Anyhoo.. Sadly my first concert was Michael Jackson. My parents forced me to go with them so I hope that doesn't count. :(

The first concert I willfully went to was that first Monsters of Rock show 88'? Van Halen (Hagar)Roll, Scorpions, Metallica and Dokken. I was happy that day, 16y/o. Even though some dudes smashed into the back of my truck so hard I hit the car in front of me AND that car hit the car in front of it. Everyone in the wreck was going to the show though so nobody really cared heh. Plus they were probably a bit buzzed. Dude actually ended up paying for new bumpers for my truck so it worked out.

Last was Santana this summer. Pretty awesome.


Favorite geeze. Probably Fugazi because it was so damn hard to find one of their shows. At least up the NW. Just a random phone call from a buddy telling me to be ready in 5 minutes. Those guys never did ticketmaster or any real advertising at all. Word of mouth.

First: some local punk band that probably nobody knows, we were still kids at that time and thus had to be accompanied by a friends mother, we found that deeply embarrassing back then, but kudos for that old lady to spend such an evening with us.

Best: Probably David Bowie in Cologne, must have been around 2005 or so

Last: a small gig of some lesser known punk band (Milenrama) in a local pub here, only several weeks ago.

You're welcome, Mr. Thraxx.

Personally, I'm currently stuck on Angry Johny and the Killbillies, this album hasn't left my CD player for a month now Blink

"My Concert Friend"-- A Short Story, Part 1
I had a good friend named Mark. He was one of those guys who always invited trouble. He looks a lot like Mickey Rooney.

One day, Mark said, "Damn, this small Texas city sure is boring. Khergit, want to go see Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks?" I didn't really. Neil was all 70s-like. Earth-colored clothes, hairy, acoustic-strummy. Now we're in the precision 80s, having to choose between haircut English bands, weird brainy synthesizer tones bands such as Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, The Residents, Swiss F-1 team sponsor millionaire or something Yello, the always under-noticed Bill Nelson Not to mention the other punkish and gothic people who were setting the stage for post-Led Zep/Stones/Who world of music. For example, Joy Division, Dead Kennedys, Bauhaus, too many good ones to name.

But anyway, hot and dull summer days in bum feck egypt Texas home town. Nearest interesting feature is an artificial lake, created by damming up a creek to create a water reservoir. Mark (the man made to make trouble) and I head out to see Neil Young and the Shocking Pinks, 30 miles to Dallas on the interstate, no money, old-style steel pick up truck, Mark behind the wheel....

[Part 2 coming. Like it or not.Smile]

Eevee, pls.

My taste in music and the means to play it is pretty old fashioned.

What if I told you I still have a record player?

And several old classics on vinyl?

And that I am in fact just now listening to Iron Maiden's Killers LP on vinyl?

You youngsters will never understand, but every scratch and crackle is awesome and adds to the listening experience. Bear

Yes, I do.

She is a lawyer and married, though....

And I am afraid she doesn't share my taste in music at all
