still have yet to go to one since "the switch"... does that make me a concert virgin again? :D

Trout Fishing in America-- I think I was in high school, but I am not sure.

Ozz Fest-- I don't remember the year, but I do remember that it was free.

The Offspring, Sum 41, and some other bands (which did not impress/interest me nearly as much as those two)-- one summer when I was an undergrad.

Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper-- early summer 2010.

Easier to say who I didn't' get to see: The Beatles, Jimi, The Doors w/ Morrison, Janis.  Pretty much everyone else I've worked or seen.  Including two of the shows in KC at the Memorial.  Both of those were Dylan in the early 90s.

One of the most interesting ones I have been to was Rickie Lee Jones at the Pasadena Playhouse in the early 1980s.  We were up close and personal.  Man, that woman could drink.  She polished off a large bottle of Jack Daniels during the performance.  Didn't even phase her.

I've only seen Britney Spears in concert. The first time was in 2000 and the second was just last year. Wow, 11 years apart and she's still in the game.

Regina Spektor, Cyndi Lauper, Amanda Palmer, The Cliks, Tegan & Sara, Billy Joel, and a few others...

Skillet x2, Caedmon's Call x3, Jeremy Camp x2, MercyMe, Tenth Avenue North x3, Addison Road, Fireflight, Third Day, Chris Tomlin x2, and last but most certainly not least, tobyMac x5.

Can you tell I'm a fan of Christian rock?  :P

I haven't been to any official concert that was focused on one set person performing but I've seen Smokie Norful, Decemberadio, and the Ying Yang Twins perform

 :embarrassed: The Spice Girls when I was 10/11 and Steps (what was i thinking?!) around that time too.

Thankfully it gets MUCH better: Muse (twice), Clapton, the Cream Reunion concert at the Albert hall a few years ago, the Led Zeppelin reunion at the O2 in '07, Bruce Springsteen last year, and I remember seeing this folksy band in a dingy grotty subterranean dive that went onto become Mumford and Sons.

Hopefully my later musical tastes redeem me somewhat!  :P

when i was younger i saw Slipknot once w/ my cousin and his friend and another time i saw Slayer (eek!).

So many good shows to list, I just love live music.
Metal Church
Slayer
Anthrax
Alice in Chains

Cinderella with David Lee Roth and I almost administered a do it yourself Orchiectomy and would have shoved them in my ears the show was so bad.

Queensryche
Metalica
Megadeth
Suicidal Tendencies
Primus
Les Claypool
Leo Kottke
Amanda Palmer
Buddy Guy
B.B. King
Dweezil Zappa
Dragon Force
Zoe Keating
Rasputina
Ween
Flaming Lips
Turisas
Just to many to list, I can't wait for the next show what ever it might be.

Anyone who has Amanda Palmer and Leo Kottke on the same list as Slayer, and has B.B. King backed with Dweezil - well you've got my vote.

I forgot about one of the shows that I was so fortunate and thankful to see, it was his and hers last tour of there lives, Johnny Cash and June Carter with daughter Rosanne Cash who I'm pretty sure is still alive.

She is still alive, I saw her a couple of years ago.

Rosanne is still doing what's she's always done, which tragically is 'too country to really be rock, to rock to be liked by the country crowd.'  Last year she played at the HSBG fest in SF doing songs that her dad thought were 'important'.  Pretty cool stuff.

ZZTOP 1982 Austin Texas

Pink Floyd,Emerson Lake and Palmer,Kiss,Uriah Heep,Styx,Doobie Brothers,Bob Seager and the Silver Bullet Band,Peter Frampton,Todd Rundgren,Foghat,Led Zeppelin,Boston,Michael Card,Sierra,Third Day,Casting Crowns and various minor bands.

I went to see Jesus and Mary Chain a couple of weeks ago.

Britney Spears
Jesse Mccartney
Cheetah Girls
Ever Life
Avril lavigne
Life house
Simple Plan
Boys like girls (3 times)
and JUSTIN BIEBER :D

One time, we dropped off some kids at a ozzfest concert. I got to stand outside the fence for a whole 5 minutes. it was like 100% badass. We were poor :<

Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare
Village People - mid 70s

Quite a few over the years.  memorable ones were the last by The Masters Apprentices before they broke up, Lindisfarne at the Melbourne Showgrounds 1973, The Corrs, and latest was Mia Dyson last month.

I've seen lots of the big big groups of the 70 onwards. Best where Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi, Wishbone Ash, McCartney, THE WHO (total blast), Leo Kottke (love that guy), Ralph McTell (just good, just an honest song smith). Bon Jovi (rubbish all hype) , for many recent years I have concentrated on Classical and experimental dance.

But over the last few months I have rediscovered the Pub circuit. Honest live music, some terrible, some awesome, but a damn good night of dance and music. And most in Adelaide is free provided by the pub so people drink too much. I don't so the drunks pay for me :P

Yes, Motörhead (permanent ear damage from that one), Joni Mitchell, David Bowie, Here And Now, Hawkwind, Suzanne Vega, Van Morrison, Kathryn Tickell, Robert Fripp, John McLaughlin, Billie Cobham, McCoy Tyner, Eberhardt Weber, Dave Brubeck, Andy Shepperd, Jan Garbarek, Gil Scott Heron, Defunkt (the older amazing Chicago funk band), 23 Skidoo, Cabaret Voltaire, Tuxedomoon, Ozric Tentacles, The Enid, ICU... and a huge stack of folk and world music gigs. Looking at this list (which I keep adding to), I did pretty well - catholic tastes :) !

Right now I'm really pissed off, I'm not well enough to go to London today for a Radiohead gig I've been waiting 6 months for :(.

Thanks Cindy, forgot about Ralph McTell at RMIT, local lad Lincoln Le Fevre is very similar.
Also Wings at the Myer Music Bowl, and Rainbow. All good.

Went to see New Order on one of their rare visits to Sydney. The even played some Joy Division songs like Love will tear us apart.

I saw Peter Hook's band The Light perform Unknown Pleasures and Closer in their entirety. New Order is playing NYC on the 18th. I dont know how, but I am going to that show.

Hookie was with them still when I saw them and it was superb. Your Silent face was my highlight. Shame Barney can't dance.
Hon get yourself to the show, worth the memory alone and one of the true great bands of all time, not that they are that well known to the masses.

Michael Manring
Casket of Cassandra
The Pogues

Totally forgot the best of the lot, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs at Melbourne Town Hall (have the CD, Keyboard player used the pipe organ on the lowest stop and cracked the footings of the building next door ),  and the Myer Music Bowl.  Both 1972.

I just realized, I haven't been to a concert in well over six years, hadn't even turned 15 yet. It was Simple Plan, the previous year I'd been to see Good Charlotte and my first concert experience was only a couple of weeks prior, a festival which I went to mainly to see Simple Plan and Green Day.

Nobody ever really comes to preform round where I live, not real big acts anyway.

Mariana's Trench & Down With Webster
Three Days Grace
Billy Talent
Alexisonfire
Lone Star

Skinny Puppy was my first concert, I was 15 and the gig was 18+, got in because apparently I can look older if I want to. Second concert was Peter Murphy, same thing there, except the doorman thought I was my father's girlfriend, haha. Then I saw Diamanda Galás live, awesome experience, many people left the locale because they couldn't handle her. Then PJ Harvey, completely magical, I couldn't speak until the next day because I was mesmerized by her performance. The latest concert I've been to was a Robert Johnson And Punchdrunks gig, small venue, tiny audience, good band but a too short concert. Soon I'll be seeing Swans live, which will be great fun!

New order was amazing! I ended up going to both of the NYC shows and on a whim I took the 10 hour drive to Toronto for the last show there. I left work at lunchtime, made it to the show with ten minutes to spare, drove back home and made it to work on time. When I got home that day, I slept for 16 hours straight.

I just heard that Depeche Mode is touring next year. I will be going to see them no matter how far I have to drive.

Aesher you saw Skillet? So jealous right now

I have only been to two concerts one i barely count as it was for youth group outing

The one I do count and remember the most(ie vaguely) Was Live at Perth Challenge Stadium here in Western Australia a few years ago when Ed was still the singer, I'd say maybe 2006, 2007 bit vague on that.

First concert:  Faster Pussycat, Poison, Winger and Cinderella (I was 12 or so and it was in 2000, I think.)

I've also been to Ozzfest twice, been to CPR Fest once, been to over 50 other concerts at Jaxx in Virginia that featured bands like W.A.S.P. and Pretty Boy Floyd.  I have seen Metalica with Godsmack and Trans-Siberian Orchestra.  I can't list every band I've seen live because four years ago it totaled over 100 bands. >.>

*gulps* O_O 100 bands? I wish I could be so lucky(have the money)

*gulps* O_O 400 bands? I wish I could be so lucky(have the money)

If that was to me, it's over 100. :P  >.> I went to a lot of concerts that had multiple bands [the majority had at least 5 bands playing].  And Jaxx had concerts for about $15.  >.>

Whoops my bad, but still that is alot. I want to go to tokyo someday and see some of the multi band shows there. I found out about them through Lacarmina.

Wish I was able to travel when Versailles were still a group oh well, even if i do not know the language I can still appreciate the music and almost understand the words in my head.

PS: I really should learn to type slower lol

Which I was able to travel when Versailles were still a group oh well, even if i do not know the language I can still appreciate the music and almost understand the words in my head.

Pretty much the whole reason I want to go to Japan is to see the various bands that only tour over there or in Europe.  I have to see Miyavi and Dir en Grey before I die. 

Malice Mizer, Versailles for me. Well that is off the top of my head for bandfs I'd go to see if i was in japan. Also Lacrimosa(not japanese I know) I'd like to see.

Here's everyone that I can remember off the top of my head in no particular order;

New Order, The Cure, The Light, The Killers, Interpol, Weird Al, Beastie Boys, L7, Motley Crue, Y+T, Motorhead, Ratt, Bon Jovi, David Bowie, Sisters Of Mercy, Iron Maiden, Dio, Accept, Judas Priest, Sex Pistols, Reverend Horton Heat, X, Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Screeching Weasel, Duran Duran, Supertramp, Loverboy, The Streets, The Wombats, Faster Pussycat, Poison, Kiss, Ruff Cutt, Loudness, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Social Distortion, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley(I was 5), Wayne Newton, Good Charlotte, WASP, LA Guns, Guns and Roses, CKY, Cinderella, Toilet Boys, Dresden Dolls, The Wildhearts, The Darkness, Velvet Revolver, Siouxie and the Banshees, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Venom, Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Biohazard, Pet Shop Boys, Willie Nelson, Nirvana, The Mentors, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Pearl Jam, Christian Death, 45 Grave, Dag Nasty, The Adolescents, Hole, Bikini Kill, U2, Van Halen, David Lee Roth(solo), Cheap Trick, Bauhaus, Peter Murphy(solo), Nine Inch Nails, Jesus and Mary Chain, Tin Machine, Gwar, The Meatmen, Skinny Puppy, The Pogues, Andrew WK, Rancid, Sick Of It All, Louis XIV, The Cars, The Kinks, Enuff Znuff, Twisted Sister, The Power Station, Tears For Fears, Nekromantix, Psychick TV, The Swans, The Cult, Alien Sex Fiend, The Damned, Killing Joke, PIL, Gary Numan, Gene Loves Jezabel, The Creatures, Rosetta Stone, The Church, House Of Pain, Everlast, 7Seconds, Oasis, OMD, Prince, Billy Idol, Flock Of Seagulls, Devo, Styx, Alice Cooper, REM, They Might Be Giants, Bloodhound Gang, Stray Cats, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Foo Fighters,.

Thats all I can think of for now. I know there's more. A lot more.

Thank you for reminding me Michelle I also saw Weird Al Yankovic live and I think it was after the LIVE concert and it was at Burswood Entertainment Complex now known as Crown Perth

Michelle, I'm so jealous of you... It sucks being a post-punk sort of fellow when you were born too late. However, it makes gigs a more pleasant experience since everyone there is at least 30+ and will thus have mellowed out a bit and acting more mature than younger people.

Having your father accompany you to concerts (we like the same kind of music and he likes spending time with me this way) can lead to some awkward moments, such as when we'd both been checking out the same person.

Coheed and Cambria, Anberlin, Flogging Molly, Chicago with Earth Wind and Fire, Reel Big Fish, Peppa, Skindred, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Plain White Ts, Jack's Mannequin, Sponge, Avenged Sevenfold, Matisyahu

All great shows.

Some more that I thought of;

Blink182, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, Sum41, Kreator, Sepultura, The Pixies, Pantera, Skid Row, Dirty Looks, The Go Gos, The Bangles, Echo and the Bunnymen, New York Dolls, The Ramones, Iggy Pop, Suicidal Tendencies, The Cramps, Psychedelic Furs, Morrissey, Extreme

I definitely grew up in a good time period for music. There was a ton going on all the time. One week of shows that sticks out in my mind is Guns and Roses on a Wednesday or Thursday, The Cramps on Saturday and The Ramones on Sunday. All at the same club that held about 500 people.

Not many, to be honest.
But the ones I've been to were amazing.

MUCC @ Tavastia, Helsinki (Finland) March 20, 2007
MUCC @ Provinssirock '07 (Seinäjoki, Finland)
Poets of the Fall @ Rytmikorjaamo (Seinäjoki, Finland) April 17, 2010

...That's about it. :I
But my long living dream has been to see Metallica live. Actually, I share that dream with my Mom. Maybe one day we'll go to their concert together and go crazy. ;D

I've been to two concerts, both in 2011. However, I'd say I'm satisfied.

The first concert was Streetlight Manifesto. They came to my city and the concert only costed $15! I bought my friend who introduced me to the band a ticket and we went together. They are now my favorite modern band. Because I love wind instruments, that's why. Lol.

Later in the year I got to see Chicago, which is my favorite older band. They are my favorite band altogether, actually. I was a little concerned that they would play mostly their new stuff, which I don't listen to. However, 90% of the show was their classics, and I mean 60s/70s classics with some 80s thrown in. Which meant I loved it because 60s/70s Chicago is my favorite!

I've only been to two concerts. The first one I went to was Bloc Party and Long Wave almost 4 years ago. Then last June I saw Iron Maiden & Alice Cooper. So I'm still a concert newbie.  :-\

Dir en grey does tour in the U.S. I've been to 15 of their shows. They are amazing live.

1980's
Marmalade
Showaddywaddy
Iron Maiden + Killer Dwarfs

1990's
Iron Maiden + Wolfsbane
Megadeth + The Almighty + Alice in Chains
Iron Maiden + Anthrax
Megadeth + Pantera

The B-52's
Manic Street Preachers + Ian Brown
Iron Maiden + Funeral for a Friend
Manic Street Preachers + The Delays

Judas Priest + Queensrÿche + Rival Sons

I think that's them all, I'm not really a gig go-er, but I do like my music, so I do have a lot of concerts on CD, VHS, DVD and Blu Ray

Will list more later - we're about to go shopping  :eusa_boohoo: !

But we are in Dallas now to see a show tomorrow - Cowboy Mouth (they have a fairly small, but loyal, following: awesome live show... pretty lame on the vinyl...).

I thought I posted this the other day, but I don't see it so,

I will be going to an Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss orchestra in March (I saw them once before about 5 years ago)

I have been to several Orchestra concerts before, but have never gone to see rock concerts (too loud for me).

I've seen around 500 different artists. Going to Coachella 7 years in a row and being a concert photographer has its perks.

I'll name some that I've seen:
Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Portishead, Sigur Ros, Paul McCartney, New Order, Leonard Cohen, Bauhaus, AFI, Thursday, Kanye West, Eric Prydz, Kraftwerk, My Bloody Valentine, Radiohead, At the Drive-in, Duran Duran, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Massive Attack, Kings of Leon, The Chemical Brothers, Deadmau5, Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, Gayngs, Frank Ocean, M83, Refused, Feist, Mazzy Star, Skrillex, The Rapture, James Blake, Jessie Ware, Miguel, Katy Perry, Nas, Erykah Badu, Empire of the Sun, Phoenix, Gorillaz, The Flaming Lips, Blink 182, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Black Keys, Aphex Twin, The Verve, Death Cab for Cutie, Love and Rockets, Tegan and Sara, Prince, Rihanna, NERD, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Justice, Eminem, No Doubt, Moby, Morrissey, LCD Soundsystem.

I can seriously do this all day.

Michelle666  and emilyglass...  you totally rock.  Like totally. 

I bounced the stage for Blondie and Lou Reed.  That was fun.

As a Paramedic I have worked and been at almost every concert (of all types) in our city. So great to get PAID to go to a concert. I was fortunate to meet quite a few personalities.  :)

Yeah it is great to get paid for the best seats.  :)

I go to the Rebellion Punk Festival every year in Blackpool.

It would be shorter to list which major bands/artists I HAVEN'T seen yet.

The bucket list: AC/DC (yes, Bon Scott is still dead last I checked), Against Me! (obvious reasons), Go-Go's (once took a studio recording class with Charlotte), KISS (although I've been in the same room with all original members at one time or another), ZZ Top (drank at same bar with Billy Gibbons once).

Still hoping Led Zeppelin gets back together, but I've seen Plant/Page a few times and even had a backstage pass once.

I've been to 1000+ concerts over the last 30 years.  It's what I do best.

It's a dream come true for me. Photography was always just a hobby. Got offered to work for a major live entertainment company a few years ago and the rest is history. Nothing like getting paid to take pictures of some of my favorite bands.

Against Me! was just here but I couldn't go, had no money. :(

I've seen A Day to Remember, Goo Goo Dolls,  Less Than Jake and a country band called Alabama when I was like 12 lol.

erm, large(ish) list but mostly from festivals, because you know, Australia

Chairlift, Cults, DZ Deathrays, Feist, Girls, Givers, M83, The Horrors, Portugal the Man, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Washed Out, Bush, Bad Religion, System of a Down, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend Project, Mastodon, Steel Panther, Meshuggah, cky, Watain*, Turisas, Kvelertak, Beck, Sigur Ros, Grizzly Bear, Ben Folds Five, Beirut, Cake, Dark Dark Dark, Cypress Hill, Bluejuice, Hungry kids of Hungry, The Holidays, Cloud Control*, Silversun Pickups*.

Now we are out of the festival territory.. if it has a * I have seen them solo too!

AC/DC, Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Jinja Safari, Fishing, Mayhem, Voyager.. I have forgotten alot of the ones I have seen by themselves.. alot of little Canberra bands or Australian metal bands...

lol

But it HAS gotten a lot better in the last five/ten years, thankfully!

There's some good local metal bands getting around in this country these days, even the ones who aren't really my cup of tea usually put on a good show.

As for bigger shows I've seen... Well, the first was Presidents of the United States of America... lol But then as far as I can remember...

Smashing Pumpkins
Soilwork
Deicide
Children of Bodom
Nightwish
Mayhem
Immortal
Celtic Frost
Dark Tranquillity
In Flames
Amon Amarth
Stabbing Westward
Dark Funeral
Fear Factory

There's more, but that was the first cluster that popped into my head.

The Bloody Beetroots
Disclosure
R3HAB
Baauer
Rudimental
Hardwell
aaaaaaaand Deadmau5
:D
Thats only over the course of the last 2 or 3 years i think.
As you can tell, im more into the electronic spectrum of music lol

Reverend Horton Heat, Chop Tops, Calabrese, Nekromantix, Creepshow, The Quakes, Guanabatz

Anyone else going to the Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool?

Manfred Mann's Earth Band (thrice)
Deep Purple (once)
Gotthard (on a bill with 2)
The Hives (on a bill with 2)
Little Feat (on a bill with 2)
Demons Eye (twice)
my brother's band (they released an album a few years back, kind of makes me nervous)
my father's band
a german group you haven't heard of

i haven't been to a lot of gigs. money's tight

From 2000 to 2005: AC/DC in 2000, a benefit Death Metal fest for James Murphy in 2002. The headlining band (Deceased) cancelled at the last minute due to personal issues for one band member. Didn't find out about that until I got there. I was a bit bummed out about that. I did get to meet James Murphy and saw one really good band. I sat through 4 or 5 other bands that sucked. I left and missed the last 5 or 6 bands. Went to another (smaller) Death Metal fest at the same venue around a year later. Only one band out of the six sucked so it was much better. I saw Type O Negative a few months later in Ohio. Missed the opening band (Lacuna Coil) but we didn't care. Type O was really good. Saw Obituary and Napalm Death in 2005. It was absolutely amazing. The two opening bands were pretty good too.

I haven't been to any shows in proper venues since that time. I did organize a local fest of Noise/Experimental bands from various areas of the Midwest. I also played in it as well with my Noise project. I plan on doing another fest later this year. If we could draw more than 10 people (other than the bands), that would be nice.

Type O!   Loved them live.  Why did that bastard have to die so young?  OK, it was probably because he sniffed up half of Peru, but still...  The good news is that Peter left me with two basses that he won't be needing anymore.

Anyway, concert bucket list update-  I have tickets for the ZZ Top/Jeff Beck, Elton John, King Diamond and KISS shows.  I've seen Elton John before, but this time I'm up front.  I hear AC/DC is coming soon, and I might just have to go to Vegas for that one.

Anyone else going to the Rebellion Punk Festival in Blackpool?

I wish, sound wild.

.I only went on Saturday and really enjoyed it.On Friday Glitter Trash from Detroit played,their frontwoman is TS and I was told I missed a great band.I've been going for 5 years and have never had any problems with the punks and skinheads at the event.There's usually 2 other TS girls on the stalls.

We just went to see OkGo last weekend . I also can claim to have seen The Cure over 23 times on 3 different continents.We reLly like the Cure. Alson the original guitarist for The Cure just transitioned from mtf so there is that.

Only recent few years are:  Black Sabbath, Neil Young, Dead Can Dance, Suicidal Tendencies, Marilyn Manson, Twiztid. Also all the Psychopathic people at the gathering a few years ago and no I'm not, I just like what I like.

  Went to two Lady GaGa Artpop raves this summer, One in buffalo in June then one I flew out to in Phoenix AZ in July. They were amazing  :o loved the community

Never been to one but I will be seeing Watsky in November for my first concert experience.

Next January: I see my fave singer Inna for the first time!!

Too many to mention or even remember.  So I'll go with my favorite and who I haven't seen but really want to.

My favorite live band was Oasis.  I've seen them twice and they were incredible both times. (honorable mentions: Radiohead, and Green Day before they were big)

I've tried several times to see Sigur Ros, but just haven't been able to make it happen.  I either found out about it too late, or was out of town.  And it's been like 4 or 5 near misses now...I have got to see them!  (honorable mention: Muse)
