    Left Lane Cruiser opening for Los Duggans and Scott H. Biram at the Brass Rail in Ft. Wayne, IN.

    Suprisingly, Biram was the weak sister that night. LLC was as energized as I've ever seen them and Los Duggans was a revelation.

    I forgot to add...I saw the Chieftains (Irish folk) on St. Patrick's Day in Carnegie Hall a few years ago. They were phenomenal.

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Their 2012 Beethoven's Last Night show was amazing.

    JM


    That's great to hear, cause we're going next Friday! I can't wait!

    We saw their Christmas show 2 yrs ago and now I get to take my son back to his first TSO show. We have 5th row, so I am stoked! :)

    I think I've only been to two concerts. They tie.

    I flew to the Azores Islands in 2005, and upon landing my Aunt took us to a larger village and I saw the Scorpions perform in an old concrete soccer stadium.

    A year or so later in college, 2 Live Crew played at a local club, and I was up on stage with a few fully naked women, whip cream everywhere.

    Every single Backstreet Boy concert was the best one! Well, maybe the one where Kevin looked at me (I swear we made eye contact!!!) and then Brian gave me a stuffed duck.

    lmao, oh to be a teenager again.

    PJ20: Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary concert/festival last summer in Alpine Valley, WI. Awesome show.

    I've tried several times now to see Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam shows and always seem to either have to work or miss out on tix. PJ is my favorite band. Lame. I did watch the PJ20 docu...incredible.

    The only time I've ever seen Eddie Vedder live was when Death Cab For Cutie brought him out to jam during a performance of We Looked LIke Giants.

    AWESOME doc!!!

    I know i'm only 23, but Styx (2005) was by far the best concert i've ever seen!! Followed by Sting, Kansas, Loverboy, and Lou Graham from Foreigner.

    I would love,love, love to see a Pearl Jam concert!!! Favorite band ever!

    It was more about the venue than the concert itself...

    Gorge amphitheater fyeah. I saw Soundgarden there last summer but really I'd be happy watching just about anyone there (Queens of the stone age was also there and awesome)

    Elton John & Billy Joel

    I saw that tour, it was a really great tour! Two legends in one show!

    JM

    My husband hauled their equipment for that show. He was so disappointed that he couldn't stay to watch it.

    I haven't been to many but I saw Keith Urban last year and almost lost my ****. Besides the fact that he's a stud, he was an amazing performer, went all night :)

    Jealous. I'd love to see Tool.

    Nearly every Ozzfest I've been to has been great. One of the performances that sticks out the most in my mind was Marilyn Manson in 2003 when his theme was him in the Micky Mouse ears.
