    sorry, going to copy my reply from the previous thread, but I'd like to add the 999 show at the West Catty Playground and Bauhaus with Daniel Ash. :smile:

    The 2nd Lollapalooza - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush, Jim Rose Circus, Porno for Pyros, Basehead, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Seaweed, Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E., Stone Temple Pilots, The Vulgar Boatmen, Rage Against the Machine + many more............

    1992 in Orlando, FL... during an evacuation of the state for Hurricane Andrew, Eddie Vedder climbing to the top of the scaffolding......and the best part? It was the first time I saw Lush. :love:

    * wait! My Bloody Valentine was good too. But maybe I like the CD better? hmmm.....this is hard.
    ** wait again... I think I liked Tom Verlaine better. :blushing:

    Brian, you're awesome. :heart:

    *Other side of the world and yet you hear a band's name mentioned. Far far away. Too talented. You need to start your band up again.

    I'm getting up there in age, (46 as of last Friday) and have been to many concerts some that I can't even remember. Could it be old-age or drugs? I'll never tell, but a few that stand out for me have been:

    Back in the 80s:
    David Bowie at Anaheim Stadium back in 1983 or 84
    Siouxsie & the Banshess Hollywood Palladium
    Echo & the Bunnymen

    within the last decade:

    David Bowie 2004 (my son wanted tickets for his 12th birthday)
    NIN, Kings of the Stone Age opened (again did this for my son and I was blown away. Trent is amazing)
    Van Halen, that's Van Halen, not Van Hagar. You couldn't pay me to see that show. LOL

    So many great answers here! I also see alot of concerts, soooooo;

    - Kid Rock
    - Foo Fighters
    - Bruce Springstein

    Probably all picked due to their ability to just put on a great show, engaging the crowd, etc. This weekend I'll be seeing Evanescence in downtown Atlanta at what's called The Tabernacle. It's an old church made over to bar. Bet your bootie I'm looking forward to this one!

    Go ahead and laugh but...

    Kenny Chesney. :) He's awesome live.


    Oooooo ... you are SO right! I can't believe I forgot to add that one to my list!
    We saw Billy Currington, Zac Brown, and Kenny Chesney on the Going Coastal tour at Lambeau field this past summer. It was AMAZING! Both Zac Brown & Kenny put on great shows!

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Concert. Have seen it four times and will go again... and again... and again. Going to see their Beethoven's Last Night concert in April!! YAY!

    Wahoo!! Happy to see someone else that appreciates TSO here! I've been to my share of concerts and they were definitely one of the best! Hard to compare them to anyone else, though, because they are so very different than other entertainers.

    We're going again in April (in Green Bay) to see their NON-Christmas show and taking our 12 year old son for his first time. CAN'T WAIT!

    1) Embrace at Donny Dome October 2006
    2) Manic Street Preachers Hull City Hall October 2010 (very close joint 1st)
    3) Muse Donny Dome November 2001

    Not been to many gigs but those are the stand out ones for me, although Lost Prophets were awesome too.
