What concerts have you seen?
Spent a few hours the other night going through all my old concert ticket stubs from over the years (I collect'em).
Just curious to know what concerts ya'll have seen over the years. Back in the day I've seen: Genesis (Maple Leaf Gardens) Van Halen (Maple Leaf Gardens) Boston (Kingswood Music Theatre) Eagles (C.N.E. grandstand) Yes (C.N.E. grandstand) Stevie Nicks (Kingswood Music Theatre) the Tubes (Lulu's Roadhouse) Saga (Lulu's Roadhouse/RPMs) Steve Earle (Diamond Club, Toronto) Randy Travis (C.N.E. grandstand) K.T. Oslin (C.N.E. grandstand) Max Webster (Sutton H.S.) Charlie Daniels (Lulu's Roadhouse) Colin James (Lulu's Roadhouse) Restless Heart (Graceland bar) Blue Rodeo (Graceland bar) Toronto (Tony's East) Headpins (Tony's East) David Wilcox (Lulu's Roadhouse) Pat Benatar (Lulu's Roadhouse) |
Oh Christ. Next month alone I am seeing two full weekends of ACL, another set by Skrillex, and another set by Bassnectar.
Had to stop counting a long time ago! |
I couldn't even begin to make a list...not a "complete" list, anyway.

(without ticket stubs...I wouldn't remember half of them anyways, lol) |
A lot of fuckin shows
Though none of the bands you listed |
too many - but 3/4 of them were my job
but hardly any big ones, i don't like the stadium atmosphere |
Quote:
Blur - The Metro Chicago The Cure - Vic Theater Chicago Smashing Pumpkins - United Center Chicago The Fixx - Navy Pier Chicago Blessid Union Of Souls - Joe's Bar Chicago Sade - United Center Chicago The Smithereens - 10+ Times REO Speedwagon Gin Blossoms Matchbox 20 etc.... too many to list or remember unless I hunted for the stubs or bracelets. |
The list would be impossible...sure the last few but not a comprehensive totally accurate one. Shit...there are concerts I am certain that I was at that I was never actually at and vice versa!

Kiss
Pearl Jam Motley Crue Metallica Guns N Roses Aerosmith Nirvana The Cure The Smashing Pumpkins Slayer Fugazi NOFX Those are the big ones that I can recall off the top of my head. I've been to a bunch more. |
Lights twice! I would go 10 more times if she comes nearby. I was first row in both shows. I waited 3h and 6h for both.
(*) Sorry for the date of the video, it's the only one on Youtube I could find that is live and sounds good. |
Some local hillbillies playing banjo. :)

(excellent evening/weekend job - paid very well - most of the time) |
Genesis was my first concert. Everything since then was a blur.
We had great seats for Journey not too long ago.... Fourth row. https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...cb6218596ce8d2 |

god knows how many concerts I've been to, well over 200 (maybe even 300) plus loads of pub gigs. the most high profile one I saw was Nirvana's last UK concert (Was a fan of them but the show was shit, loads of people left early), the best I saw was probably either one of the Dog's D'Amour shows I saw, Kirsty Macoll or Nick Cave.
|
i've seen many bigger and smaller names but here is a list of favorites which i can remember since 90s til now:
body count clutch slayer ice-t public enemy jon spencer blues explosion iron maiden mastodon cypress hill jamiroquai asian dub foundation placebo morcheeba faithless muse iggy pop ramones stereo mc's kosheen uk subs seven that spells massive attack prodigy thievery corporation the roots chemical brothers napalm death biohazard sick of it all helmet the national .... |

|
Way to many to remember all of them.
