    What concerts are on your must see list?

    Meaning acts you haven't seen yet,

    For me:

    ZZ Top (already missed them twice)

    AC DC (usually sold out within 5 minutes)

    Van Halen (not sure if they're touring Europe)

    Jane's Addiction (hope they won't break up till I see them)

    Tina Turner (although she announced retirement already)

    Prince (major regret I haven't got to his concert in 3121 in Vegas 2007)

    Tom Waits (last European concert in Berlin was sold out within 15 minutes)

    I would have to say none. They're too loud, too much pushing and shoving, too crowded, too expensive, too much hassle, and the studio recorded versions always sound better. But I'll happily go to any comedy show where we can sit down and enjoy it like civilized people.

    Or any outdoor reggae concert where everyone is spread out on the grass and chillin' out.

        Too many to list so I will just list ones I will see this summer..

        Iron Maiden
        Rush
        Tom Petty
        Alice Cooper
        Lynyrd Skynyrd
        The Dead Weather
        Roger Waters (The Wall tour)


        I recently saw Hank III after waiting 8 years to see him. It was the most fun I've had at a concert in years despite the pushing punk kids and barfing bikers.

        I saw ACDC last year. We had good seats on the floor but the venue sucked for sound.

        I could have seen ZZ Top this past Saturday but had to attend a friends birthday party instead :/

              The only two I can think of right now are Roger Waters The Wall Tour and the Soundgarden reunion tour.

                  live music is real music. music without mistakes is just robotic. todays music is made so much with computers that it sounds pretty phoney.

                      I suppose I like electronic music more. Would throw the same amount of money at going to a good club as people spend on going to a concert

                          any concerts by
                          Jon Bon Jovi or Luis Miguel

                          I keep beating myself up for not going to see the 3 tenors when they were in my area. Too late now that Pavarotti is gone!

                                Ah, yeah I am not into electronic music at all so I can see where you are coming from regarding that genre.

                                    Sometimes I wonder why don't they increase ticket prices? If its being sold out in minutes means you can earn way way more by higher ticket prices. Don't they have basic and smart technique to control thos process "playing" with prices and numbers of tickets being sold at said prices so that they could squeeze the most money out of it?

                                      In many cases they could charge 3 times what they do and still sell out in minutes. It just depends on where they are and what the demand is. Many artists, however, are afraid of being looked down on by their fans and they want all of their fans, no matter how much money they make, to be able to see them live in concert. So they feel it is better for them to keep the ticket prices down a little bit, sell out fast and make everyone happy than to charge two or three times as much, make a few more dollars and piss some people off.

                                      A perfect example of this is Pearl Jam. At the height of their fame they got in a fight with ticketmaster when they found out that ticketmaster was charging upwards of $50 as a "convenience fee" for the premium seats at the pearl jam shows. They ultimately lost the fight, but still had about 8 dates left on the short tour to play. They refunded every dollar to the people who bought the tickets and still played the shows so those shows were free for the ticket holders. The amount of press and fan love the got from that was worth more than they could have ever gotten from a little higher ticket price.

                                        One of the best shows I have ever seen is Tom Waits in Seattle. The guys is a genius.

                                        I wanted to go see him on his last tour, but he wasn't coming anywhere within 1200 miles of me.

                                          I've been to a lot of concerts over the years but somehow missed a KISS concert.

                                          Wasn't my thing back when they blew up but now I'd like to see them just because I haven't.

                                          The other thing I haven't been to is one of those big DJ shows so I'd like to experience something like Tiesto.

                                              I saw them in October and it was a good show. No Ace or Peter but still good. Seeing all the fans in the makeup was pretty cool too.
                                              you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

They're too loud, too much pushing and shoving, too crowded, too expensive, too much hassle, and the studio recorded versions always sound better. But I'll happily go to any comedy show where we can sit down and enjoy it like civilized people.

                                                Or any outdoor reggae concert where everyone is spread out on the grass and chillin' out.
                                                I hear that, in fact the last tickets I bought me were seats, cause I didn't want an emo dude jumping all over in front of me

                                                Roger Waters (The Wall tour)


                                                I recently saw Hank III after waiting 8 years to see him. It was the most fun I've had at a concert in years despite the pushing punk kids and barfing bikers.

                                                I saw ACDC last year. We had good seats on the floor but the venue sucked for sound.

                                                I could have seen ZZ Top this past Saturday but had to attend a friends birthday party instead :/
                                                I actually checked out some Hank III and love it since I like a lot of the country / southern / blues rock stuff, thanks for the tip!

                                                Soundgarden would be a must too - a way best Seattle band for me personally, their music is just too good to be put into the "grunge" category, and you can hear a lot of Sabbath from their rhytm section

                                                Those that are really good put up a great show with singing in place, but it's not that many bands that would sound live better, usually those that play together forever rock, as for the live factor - for me it's like taking a photo - you got the same thing you saw on the photo but it's never the same

                                                I guess I'm not a "club" person, a bar will do better, like I was in TAO in Vegas and everything loud you felt like being in a posh MTV video, all those girls trying way too much to look good, guidos on parade, I left after a bit

                                                I keep beating myself up for not going to see the 3 tenors when they were in my area. Too late now that Pavarotti is gone!
                                                The Tenors rock - although I enjoy opera more, it's my last passion and I'm slowly getting into that, visiting the live broadcasts from the NYC Met frequently

                                                The same tour was around here last weekend but I passed, had to pass a couple university exams

Many artists, however, are afraid of being looked down on by their fans and they want all of their fans, no matter how much money they make, to be able to see them live in concert. So they feel it is better for them to keep the ticket prices down a little bit, sell out fast and make everyone happy than to charge two or three times as much, make a few more dollars and piss some people off.

                                                A perfect example of this is Pearl Jam. At the height of their fame they got in a fight with ticketmaster when they found out that ticketmaster was charging upwards of $50 as a "convenience fee" for the premium seats at the pearl jam shows. They ultimately lost the fight, but still had about 8 dates left on the short tour to play. They refunded every dollar to the people who bought the tickets and still played the shows so those shows were free for the ticket holders. The amount of press and fan love the got from that was worth more than they could have ever gotten from a little higher ticket price.
                                                Very much, I don't mind paying more for a smaller venue and a smaller tour, but if I see a 50 concert streak in huge arenas where you can't see shit I'd never pay anything over $ 50 - 60

                                                I wanted to go see him on his last tour, but he wasn't coming anywhere within 1200 miles of me.
                                                Have probably all his records, including a couple live bootlegs, to see him live is quite an accomplishment, last time he was in Berlin the tickets were $300 a piece

                                                              Im seeing Roger Waters tour in Nov. Thinking about seeing RUSH in oct. ive seen them 5 time but this tour they are doing the entire Moving Pictures album which should be cool

                                                              other than that i would like to see tom petty.
