JackFetch Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I haven't been to many, but my first was Ozzy Osborne so it was memorable. My second was Queensryche and Suicidal Tendencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drqshadow Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I struggle to recall. Over the years I've seen Primus probably a half dozen times, Ween several times, The Cure thrice, Duran Duran, Ozzy, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Reverend Horton Heat, Blue Oyster Cult, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beastie Boys, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Flaming Lips, The Breeders, Toadies, The Killers, Tool, Rob Zombie... I've kept many of the ticket stubs, so I'll probably add more later this evening when I can take a look. My most recent show was Dan Deacon in Tallahassee last weekend. It was phenomenal.

George W. Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 2003 - Comedy Central Presents Tour. After a funny opening comedian whose name I cannot remember for the life of me, Mitch Headberg took the stage and overran his set so badly that we had to stop laughing because our mouths hurt. Then we had Dave Attell, who is much funnier in person than he is on TV, and closed by Lewis Black, who performed half of his "Rules of Enragement" set with his fly open. 2003 - Stephen Lynch w/Mark Teich and Drew Lynch. Performed with the flu and still nailed the final note on "Gay". Fantastic performance. 2005 - Stephen Lynch w/Mark Teich and Rod Cone. Another great performance, and a huge audience. I hadn't been around this many people since Wrestlemania X-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Summer 2005 - Summerfest, saw Good Charlotte headlining the Marcus, with Hoobastank opening, and also the tail end of Evanescence. (I was young, give me a break. ) Summer 2006 - Summerfest, saw Kid Rock headlining the Marcus (can't remember the opening act, save that it was good), and left about halfway through when he started doing overblown solos on every instrument on stage, went and saw Buddy Guy instead (AWESOME, especially when Kid Rock came on and did a duet after his show and Buddy Guy out smarmed him). Summer 2007 - Summerfest, Weird Al Yankovic. My favorite concert to date. Summer 2008 - Summerfest, Matisyahu. A fun concert, lots of weed smoke floating around, and amusingness with Jewish reggae (it was his birthday and they bought out a cake with candles on it, but Orthodox Jews don't blow out candles. Whoops....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Off the top of my head, I've seen: The White Stripes (multiple times) The Flaming Lips The Rolling Stones Bryan Adams Nine Inch Nails Marilyn Manson (multiple times) The Foo Fighters (twice?) Kaiser Chiefs (as as opening act) Yeah Yeah Yeahs (as as opening act) Gorillaz Tiger Army Kenny Wayne Shepherd Swinging Lovehammers Meatloaf (I think this might have been my first concert) Stabbing Westward (multiple times) I've been to a ton of festivals, where I've seen Ozzy, Limp Bizkit, Creed and Kid Rock. I know I've been to many more shows, but that's all I can remember right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
