They did karaoke there and there was another fat elvis hanging out. He want up and sang an elvis song like a scared 9 year old. Was really disappointing

i like the idea of going to concerts more than the actual concert.

Ray LaMontagne at Red Rocks
fun. a few years ago opening a small show for a band that the lady wanted to see. pleasant surprise.

Cage The Elephant at Beaumont Club 2010 Front Row
John Butler Trio 2011 Crossroads
Derek Trucks Band 2009 Voodoo Lounge
I thought this would be fun, but it's actually impossible to narrow it down and rank these. I am only solid on my #1, the rest probably change hourly. Bolded the band I was there to see if there were multiple.
-
Love live music. These are the big shows I think I enjoyed the most:
1. Barry Manilow @ Radio City (was dragged there, but damn he puts on a good show)
2. Def Leppard @ Bramlage
3. Killers @ MSG
4. HORDE Fest (Blues Travelers) @ Sandstone
5. Beastie Boys @ KCK
Honorable Mention: Girl Talk @ Brooklyn, Reverend Horton Heat @ Jayhawk Music Festival, AC/DC @ Bramlage, Dirty Projectors @ Brooklyn...
-
1. James Taylor
2. Joe Diffy
I think these are the only two I've been to.
-

OMG, completely forgot Dylan opening for Santana. As concerts went, it is #3 on the list, but it was an awesome time.

what is a girltalk live show like? he just hit play and then everyone parties?
-
1. James Taylor
2. Joe Diffy
I think these are the only two I've been to.
oh man, joe diffie, that's a name I haven't heard in a while, that's great.
I'll try, but I'll forget something:
1) John Prine at Bonnaroo: He made me cry in a ridiculous dusty field in the middle of the afternoon
2) Flaming Lips at Bonnaroo: Everyone should see "Do You Realize" with all the confetti and lights. Amazing, beautiful, experience
3) My Morning Jacket at Bonnaroo: I have already mentioned how incredible they are live. This was a midnight show in pouring rain and they took it up a notch.
4) Mitch Hedberg at the Uptown KC. Not music but he made me fall out of my seat laughing. Literally!
5) Jay Z at Bonnaroo. I kind of hate that 4 of the top 5 are at Bonnaroo but Jay Z absolutely killed it in front of 80,000 people in probably the toughest genre to pull off live. One of my biggest regrets is not going to one of the Jay Z/Kanye shows.
Honorable mention: Father John Misty at Bottom of the Hill in SF, Milk Carton Kids at Cafe du Nord in SF, Iron & Wine at Bonnaroo, Willie Nelson at the Cotillion Ballroom, Ween at the Cotillion Ballroom opening for Foo Fighters in 1995(?), Sharon Jones at the big theater in Lawrence (the Granada?)

Best small concert I went to was Apocalyptica. It was crazy how good of a show they put on in a tiny ass club.
-
In no particular order:
Refused in Chicago this year
Mogwai in Lawrence in '05
Queens of the Stone Age in KC last year (played their entire self titled album)
Mars Volta in KC '08 (3 hours of epic)
Nine Inch Nails in Columbia '08
Really could have put a few others.

311/ Matisyahu - KC City Market
Eagles of Death Metal - KC (Sandstone) this was actually at Buzz Beach Ball but they were the best show.
Minus the Bear and two bands I can't remember that were good - Lawrence, Granada
The Urge / Pomeroy - Silverados (don't laugh was increds)
I haven't been to very many concerts.
-
311/ Matisyahu - KC City Market
Pretty sure this was in the parking lot across from the Beaumont Club, not City Market. Was an awesome show.
-
Oh boy.
1. Guster and OAR at the Uptown Theater. What a combo!
2. Fun. at the Beaumont.
3. Bret Dennen and OAR at Sandstone
4. Steel Train at the Jackpot in Lowrents
5. State Radio at some bar in Lowrents

Extra honorable mention: Ging and I stumbling onto 3 Doors Down playing a free show at 4th Street Live in Louisville the day of the Kentucky Derby in 2010. At first figured it was some cover band playing "Loser".
-
I witnessed Calvin Harris cry during a set at Tryst (at the Wynn) because a few people didn't like his music. So that was a pretty awesome/incredible experience.

to get close to the stage, go to far stage right or left and walk forward as far as you can. Then make a 90 degree turn and you can get pretty close, although you might not see the entire stage. Even if you have a somewhat obstructed view, this is far better than just standing way at the back in the middle.

1. Roger Waters presents The Wall - Sprint Center 2010
....
....
4. FUN. - The Pagaent STL July 2012
5. Aerosmith / Fuel - Sandstone Mid 2000s. Mostly awesome because I was 3 rows back and they put on a great show.
6. Aerosmith / Kid Rock - Sandstone Early 2000s Kid Rock is awesome live, had sopme hot cage dancers.

311/ Matisyahu - KC City Market
Pretty sure this was in the parking lot across from the Beaumont Club, not City Market. Was an awesome show.
You're correct.
-
I'm pretty sure 311 was part of the worst concert I've ever seen.
Modest Mouse was my least favorite headliner ever. (there was an entertaining thread on ksufans)
-
did anyone catch dylan at the bram back in 04/05ish.. my gosh it was awful.
-

He was awful when I saw him, but it was still Dylan, so it was pretty awesome. Santana wasn't mainstream at the time, but he was awesome.

Yeah, 311 is an awful band. There are lots of reasons a concert can suck, but the worst is if the band just blows. Like 311. Even then, you can pull it off if your band is having fun rather than trying to be "cool" -- like, I had a blast watching no-talent Dread Zeppelin at the old KSU stadium, because it was just fun. But 311 sucked and they didn't realize it.
Other bad concert experiences:
1) De La Soul/Tribe Called Quest @ KU Ballroom (2 of my favorites of ALL TIME, but it was a horrible set-up and it sounded like Radioshack speakers)
2) Cake @ Highline Ballroom (walked off after 4 songs because people were taking pictures, wtf! you ain't THAT big time)
-
once they got the tech issues fixed at the De La Soul/Tribe Called Quest show, it was great.
-
i saw danzig play at the bottleneck, it was incredible
-
once they got the tech issues fixed at the De La Soul/Tribe Called Quest show, it was great.
Oh. It's possible I was drunk by that time. (Another reason a show can suck.) :frown:
Also, kinda weird that there only like 200-250(?) people at that show and we were two of them...

Cake played last year at City Market right after the Joplin tornado and in between songs said the following: "Oh man, it's great to be in the midwest, where there's no hurricanes, no earthquakes, no tsunamis, no natural disasters at all"

1-10. every urge show
11. less than jake/the decendents/guttermouth/22 jacks/bubble boys 1998 liberty hall
12. weezer/some other band 1998 the granada
13. less than jake 1999 the bottleneck
14. 311/2 skinnee j's early 2000's city market
15. family values tour, korn/limp bizkit/rammstien/orgy/ice cube 1999? kemper arena
cake was easily the worst band i've ever seen live(out of around 100+ shows), fwiw. threatened to walk off because people were crowd surfing and taking pictures.

TOOL (anywhere)
My Morning Jacket (anywhere)
Widespread Panic (especially at Red Rocks)
RATM (reunion show at Coachella)
Goodie Mob with Andre Benjamin in McCain when I was fourteen
Split Lip's last few shows were amazing
Everyone should see the Flaming Lips once
RHCP are good but shows are somewhat uninspiring a little to over produced/corporate
Black Keys are awesome in small venues in large settings they are pretty meh
Old Crow Medicine Show is always a good time

1. OAR
2. Eric Church (KC)

This is assuming that local bands signed to major labels don't count.
Edit: Woof, great list, 'Meister. :flush:
This list is gross.
OAR rough ridin' blows live I went to a show super pak'd and it sucked so bad I left. Then later at a festival felt guilty that maybe I didn't give them a chance, they sucked so bad at the festival that I left and watched some less shitty euro DJamer.

Who here owned a 311 shirt at any point?
Be honest!!!
I had 1.

1) Eric Claption in Santiago, 2001
2) Blue Traveler in Tulsa, 1999
Those are the only two, soooooo pretty indisputable list.
-
Meh, 311 is fine. I've seen them 3 times, always because I was interested in seeing someone they were with. They put on a good live show and Tim Mahoney is a very good guitarist. Saw OAR once, they put on a pretty solid performance. Lotta music snobs itt.

311 puts on a good show. You guys are just too old.
If you want to see a much better show by an Omaha band, I'd recommend the Faint five years ago. (This show could've been on my list of honorable mentions.)

I saw 311 with Snoop Dogg (OT: Remember Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, lol?) in summer '08, they were decent. K-Clark is the best live performer of all time and its not even close.
-
Too old for 311. Now I've heard everything.

Got there with about 20 minutes left in TT's set, guitarist broke a string and the rest of the band launched into 5 minute solo until he got it replaced. It was my first time seeing them and thought that that was so :horrorsurprise:

Haha ya I remember that now.
Afterwards we went down Mass street to some bar with both the bands and the bar owner pulled the shades closed and we drank for a long time. Got to talk to Boland and the indian guy for a while. One of my friends male genitals blocked the TT fiddle player at the hotel later (he was going to hook up with the girl at the front desk). Pretty awesome night overall.

Have talked to Boland and Roger Ray (indian guy) at length a couple of times, really great guys that always make the time for fans. Roger Ray always hands me a pick if I am close enough in the crowd (3 times).
Have also met Whiskey Myers and talked them into coming back to an apartment last time they were in mhk. Seriously badass dudes that can :drink: and :toke: with the best of them.

This is VERY hard.
1. Modest Mouse / !!! @ Clunk Records in Fayetteville, AR. (2001) - Probably my first GREAT concert, and therefor can't be topped, way too much sentiment here.
2. Sigur Ros @ Uptown Theatre (2006) - Also saw them at Redrocks (2008), but their sound is soooo much better in an indoor space.
3. Maserati @ Club 007 in Prague, CZ (2007) - Awesome, historic and intimate venue for one of my favorite bands at the time.
4. Portishead @ Hammerstein Ballroom in NY, NY (2011)
5. TIE - Wilco @ Cains Ballroom, Tulsa, OK (2011) / Faithless @ Incheba Expo Park, Prague, CZ (2007)
Sucks to have to leave off so many good ones, but these are the ones that come to mind.

Most have been crap

Thanks.
In no particular order:
Refused in Chicago this year
Mogwai in Lawrence in '05
Queens of the Stone Age in KC last year (played their entire self titled album)
Mars Volta in KC '08 (3 hours of epic)
Nine Inch Nails in Columbia '08
Really could have put a few others.
This show was pretty amazing. Had a hard time leaving it off the list.
I'm pretty sure 311 was part of the worst concert I've ever seen.
Modest Mouse was my least favorite headliner ever. (there was an entertaining thread on ksufans)
when did you see them?

The worst band I have ever seen live was Is Tropical at the Independent in SF (opening for Crystal Fighters). I mean, they were just awful. No charisma, terrible music, they all slammed about 4 bud heavy's during their 45 minute set, and the band leader kept openly wondering why people weren't getting into his music more.
For reference, Toby Keith at the Arizona State Fair in 2001 was probably second worst.

did anyone catch dylan at the bram back in 04/05ish.. my gosh it was awful.

It was at this show that it is fun to judge a band based on how many weeks of practice it would take to replace one of its members. I figured I could replace either of Is Tropical's guitarists with about 3 days of solid practice.

I know this will get ripped apart, but here goes.
1. Pink Floyd, 1994 at Arrowhead. They were without Roger Waters, but still an awesome show.
2. Grateful Dead, 1991 at what was then called Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. It was the Dead... what more need I say.
3. Negative Approach and Circle Jerks, 2006 at Waterloo Park in Austin, TX. They were the last 2 acts on the punk stage at the festival, and the only ones we cared about. It was only Negative Approach's second gig back after reuniting 25 years from their last, but they didn't miss a beat.
4. Old 97s, 2011 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Teddy Thompson opened and put on a fine show as well.
5. Sting, 1988 at Starlight Amphitheater, Swope Park in KC. He returned for a second show of the year during the Jazz Fest. His first solo tour so plenty of Police standards along with his own stuff.
And an Honorable Mention must go to the first concert I ever attended: Johnny Cash, sometime in the late 70s, at what was then the Shawnee County Fairgrounds in Topeka. The stage was set up in the front straight of the 1/4 mile dirt track and we sat in the grandstands. I was too young to really remember much, but it was Johnny Cash. Doesn't get much cooler than that.

I need to add Ricky Skaggs at some bluegrass festival that was held at the Wyandotte County fairgrounds. I figured out that it was on May 8th, 1999 from this fantastic random site that seems to list many of the concerts held in KC that year. Some seriously elite stuff:

I like several songs by The Chain Gang of 1974 but they were terrible in concert. I mean, their lead singer was just awful. Not sure what my top 5 are, but I really enjoy seeing Two Door Cinema Club in concert and will be going to my second concert of theirs in October. I'm also a big fan of Passion Pit and Childish Gambino live. Sigur Ros at Lollapalooza a couple weeks ago was quite an experience, too.

1) moe. - Bonnaroo Late Night Stage, 2002 - We were front row. Robert Randolph sat in during Meat & had no idea the parts of the song...he was totally lost for the first part, then started to shred...he did that thing where he pushes the pedal steel away from him & catches it with his foot, well, the damn thing amlost hit me in the head we were so close. It was absolutly phenomenal (until SCI sat in, then I left). (http://archive.org/details/moe2002-06-22km140.shnf) seriously, download the mp3 of Meat...Randolph kills it!
2) 311 & The Urge - Municipal in KCK in '95 or '96 - RIGHT before 311 got big...this was my first concert. The Urge was amazing as always, and Hexum took the stage & said, "We're pretty rough ridin' pissed tickets were so expensive to this show, so we're gonna play for 4 hours!" They played al of Music, Grassroots & the Blue album & a couple tracks that ended up on Enlarged to show detail. Tickets were $13. Anybody that says 311 didn't used to be cool is in denial. I had SEVERAL 311 shirts :blush:
3) Umphrey's McGee - The Pageant 12/29/2011 - Such a great show...really should check it out (http://archive.org/details/um2011-12-29.akgCE-1.flac16) I suggest starting with 'Resolution'
4) moe. - Liberty Hall 3/16/01 - The concert that changed my life. The summer before this, I had just seen Tattoo the Earth (Slipkont, (Hed) pe, Soulfly, etc)...as soon as I walked into the moe. show, I totally fell in love with the vibe. I'd listened to the abnd for years, but my first live show. They opened with Money by Pink Floyd, the rest was just epic. My friend I went with literally learned how to play guitar because I took him to that show. Total life changer (http://archive.org/details/moe2001-03-16.shnf)
5) My Morning Jacket - Starlight Theater 8/3/2012 Jim James is the absolute best showman in music since, I dunno...Axl Rose with the real GnR? My first MMJ show, and I was entranced the entire time with his energy, and that rough ridin' voice! How he has the vocal chord strength to sing the operatic parts to Wordless Chorus as an ENCORE is rough ridin' incredible.
A few Honerable MentionsOzzfest 1998 (Met Brandon Boyd from Incubus before anybody knew who they really were...they were THE reason I went to that show...but it was cool seeing Tool, Megadeth, Soulfly, Sevendust, System of a Down, Snot, etc... as that music style was on the ascent.
I've seen moe. 34 times in 9 states...I could fill a top 10 list with just moe. shows...Same goes for Umphrey's McGee which I've seen 13 times.
Kottonmouth Kings @ the Bottleneck...prolly in '99 or '00? Went on the tour bus...nuff said :bigtoke:
2 Skinnee J's, Prolly '99 or '00 @ The Granada...these guys used to put on a hell of a show
:dance:

A couple of my friends absolutely loves moe. Seems like they have a super dedicated fan base. Have heard good things, but never really got into them.

The fan base or moe.rons is incredible...that being said, I've kind of softened on the band over the last couple of years...they've gotten a little content, and haven't really added anything to their sound in a while, but I'll still never miss a local show...Umphrey's has firmly moved in front of them as my go-to band for sure. Umphrey's does so many cool things from a promotion/fan interaction standpoint, it is hard to ignore that if moe. had put half that energy into marketing/staying fresh, they'd be right there with them, instead of playing the same venues for the last 15 years

hey man, nobody is saying the beach boys don't put on a good show. crap, i've seen elton john and it was awesome. just not top 5. for me a top 5 show has to have the right combination of venue, artist, and performance. seeing elton in the BOK center was cool, but would have been 10X better to see him in a smaller venue like Cains.
Another good example are the times i've seen Radiohead (probably one of my favorite bands of all time). Once in Dallas at the Superpages.com Center and once at The Sprint Center. Both were incredible performances and an amazing setlist, but I find it hard to get really wrapped up in a show that is held in such a large place or is outdoors. If I had been able to score tickets to their Roseland Ballroom performance last year, I have no doubt it would have been my favorite show ever. Thems the breaks. Also just my opinion. Seen lots of outdoor shows and a decent amount of stadium shows and they are never quite as good (the Faithless show is an exception just because of the energy of the entire floor).

This doesn't quite qualify as a concert, but I once shared a counter with vanilla ice at the waffle house the morning after a show where he talked about how he blew all his money on "motorcycle parties" and whatnot and then his fake friends all bailed on him. So, that's probably #3 on my list.
-
This is VERY hard.
1. Modest Mouse / !!! @ Clunk Records in Fayetteville, AR. (2001) - Probably my first GREAT concert, and therefor can't be topped, way too much sentiment here.
2. Sigur Ros @ Uptown Theatre (2006) - Also saw them at Redrocks (2008), but their sound is soooo much better in an indoor space.
3. Maserati @ Club 007 in Prague, CZ (2007) - Awesome, historic and intimate venue for one of my favorite bands at the time.
4. Portishead @ Hammerstein Ballroom in NY, NY (2011)
5. TIE - Wilco @ Cains Ballroom, Tulsa, OK (2011) / Faithless @ Incheba Expo Park, Prague, CZ (2007)
Sucks to have to leave off so many good ones, but these are the ones that come to mind.
I have to add a tie for 4th
Falty DL / Battles / Four Tet @ VIA Electronic Festival in Pittsburgh, PA (2007). I forgot how amazing that show was.

Speaking of washed up folks, somehow your post reminded me that I did karaoke with Jose Canseco one night. Honestly I was so bombed that I don't remember much of anything after he joined us in our group's private room. Definitely doesn't count as a concert, although he was singing.
I know this will get ripped apart, but here goes.
1. Pink Floyd, 1994 at Arrowhead. They were without Roger Waters, but still an awesome show.
2. Grateful Dead, 1991 at what was then called Sandstone Amphitheater in Bonner Springs. It was the Dead... what more need I say.
3. Negative Approach and Circle Jerks, 2006 at Waterloo Park in Austin, TX. They were the last 2 acts on the punk stage at the festival, and the only ones we cared about. It was only Negative Approach's second gig back after reuniting 25 years from their last, but they didn't miss a beat.
4. Old 97s, 2011 at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC. Teddy Thompson opened and put on a fine show as well.
5. Sting, 1988 at Starlight Amphitheater, Swope Park in KC. He returned for a second show of the year during the Jazz Fest. His first solo tour so plenty of Police standards along with his own stuff.
And an Honorable Mention must go to the first concert I ever attended: Johnny Cash, sometime in the late 70s, at what was then the Shawnee County Fairgrounds in Topeka. The stage was set up in the front straight of the 1/4 mile dirt track and we sat in the grandstands. I was too young to really remember much, but it was Johnny Cash. Doesn't get much cooler than that.
Man, nothing to rip there!
I have also heard that The Beach Boys (yes, The Beach Boys) put on one of the best concerts you can go to.
I saw them at Bramlage. It was pretty meh in my recollection.

his solo tour actually played at Sandstone in 1985 as part of his The Dream of the Blue Turtles tour.
the 87/88 tour was the Nothing Like the Sun tour which i went to as well. his first show in KC in 1988 was in June at Starlight, he came back a month later in July and played a show at Municipal Auditorium.

Aerosmith 1978 Henry Levitt arena Wichita general admission almost got trampled getting in.A few months later a bunch of people died in a similar situation at a Who concert.
Ted Nugent 1979 Kansas Coliseum Wichita back when Ted was super loud and known for breaking windows with said loudness
Rolling Stones 1995 Some dumpy College Football stadium in Columbia Missouri kept thinking I smelled a meth lab and nasty vagina
Saw a lot of summer jams around 1980 at Arrow Head all good
Caught the Jimi Hendrix tribute show a couple years back at Salina small venue great show with a lot of talent on stage
Saw most of the hair bands in the 80`s one just blurred into another
The Foo Fighters at Sprint Center last year Gotta give em credit they put on as good a show as any I've ever seen
This list really has no particular order and really serves no use other than to date me as an old eff

I stand corrected. Sometimes the memory ain't what it used to anymore. :embarrassed:
-
mine isn't either, but i knew your comment about his first solo tour was wrong b/c i remembered the DotBT tour so i went back and did some research. regardless, we got to see an incredible show. which reminded me of the Echo & The Bunnymen show in March 1988 @ Memorial Hall that was also awesome.

How many times did Leonard drop to one knee and cover his heart with his Fedora? I lost count at 80 bazillion when I saw him.
"There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in."
Just an amazing show. No opener, just pure Cohen for two and a half hours. And yes, the seranade on bended knee was a reminder of his passion that was still clearly there. "Anthem" right before intermission was a definite highlight.

So glad I made it in for this. My friends were being negative nancys about the line to get in the Riot Room. I decided to chance my luck (FU was going on in 15 minutes), the line moved fast (went to the back door where bouncer wasn't doing 1 in 1 out), made it in for Coalesce's last song. So worth it, not to mention Acid Mothers Temple afterwards at the Union.

And that reminds me, that I have to add the Deftones/White Zombie/Pantera show at the Kansas Coliseum to my honorable mention. Deftones were completely new to me and were pretty good, and White Zombie and Pantera were just so rough ridin' intense in very different ways.

Deftones are v. good.
I saw Deftones with Limp Bizkit / Linkin Park / Metallica in 03 in StL. :peek:
Fred Durst came out on stage and said "THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO BRITNEY rough ridin' SPEARS!" and then played Nookie. What a tool. :lol:

Not laughing....downsets first/self-titled album is worth checking out for RATM and nu metal heads. Didn't care for the second album, and didn't hear anything after that. Saw them at the Daily Grind in KCMO '95(?). Saw CoC at the Outhouse (pre strip club) in '92. I will now proceed to date myself some more. Lots of rough ridin' great music in the early 90s though.
1. Bad Manners - Bottleneck '92 - novelty type of 2Tone era ska band from the UK - tight as hell and a party I didn't see coming; think Mambo #8 instrumental from the beginning of Office Space
2. RATM - Liberty Hall '93 - Zack de la whatever reads something about or by Leonard Peltier over in the Leavenworth penn before the show even begins and so everyone goes even more bonkers - not a fave band but amazing in that small of a setting
3. AC/DC - Kemper Arena '90(?) - best dick rock band live hands down; if you can't find a spot in your heart for them, you don't have a soul
4. Mighty x2 Bosstones - Outhouse '91 - oversell a 300 or so capacity place by 100+ easily - the Urge opens, people all over the stage and ceiling all night, and then like the whole place ends up at the Kwik Shop on Mass afterwards for free junk food (overnight cashier guy had no prayer)
5. Gwar - Bottleneck '90 - just started to refine their schtick and become a band you try to see at least 1x, otherwise they blow ass at music - the fake blood and stuff didn't wash out for a day or so and i was under-aged at an 18+ show so there was that thrill
Also, 311 and RHCP were disappointing to me live. Cling to their studio sound too much or something.

In late 1991 / early 1992 Red Hot Chili Peppers played 5 shows with Pearl Jam and Nirvana as their supporting acts. For the two months prior it was Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins. I would kill all the drifters to go to any of those shows, but especially the 5 with Nirvana.

Saw RHCP/Pumpkins/PJ at Memorial Hall in KCK. PJ is good live; Pumpkins were ok the 2x I saw them back then (also lollapalooza 94(?). layered the crap out of their guitar sound in the studio so they are just different live

Did not. Supposedly the most oversold outhouse show of them all....1000 people showed up or something. Saw an HR-less bad brains at liberty hall in like '94 :frown: (for that one album on madonna's label). And then some years after that they played the B-neck with HR and he only made it through like 1 song and then went to jail. And was there for quite awhile I thought.

I may have Forrest Gump'd my list a little . . . or a lot.
I really don't have a Top 5, but here's a list of good shows I've seen.
-A local band in Dallas called Pop Poppins at Club DaDa in Deep Ellum in 1992.
-Depeche Mode at Sandstone in 1994. So so fan of DM, but they handed out stacks of free tickets around town and a bunch of friends and I went and had fun with it.
-U2 Zoo TV Tour Arrowhead 1992. Was on the 4th Row and Auchtung Baby is my favorite U2 Album. Bjork opened.
-The Black Keys in NOLA this past spring. It was a free concert for the Final Four Concert series.
-Grateful Dead Sandstone 1991.
-The Eurythmics at Starlight.

I would enjoy a depeche mode concert

2. U2 - Arrowhead - 1992 / Zoo TV Tour
i went to that concert too, it was good, but i didn't think it was great. the joshua tree tour at kemper a few years previous was a lot better for me. i don't think i had fully adapted to the change they made yet going from conscientious objectors (joshua tree) to crazy rock stars singing The Fly (achtung baby). for some reason i remember it being really cold that night? dunno. too long ago.

1: Metallica / WASP / Armored Saint February 17th 1985 @ Cotillion. Front row watching Metallica redefine the term heavy metal, not knowing they would become pussies a few short years later.

Really, Hellhammer, that list is pretty frickin' great.

Concert I wish I had seen:
Pearl Jam - Day on the Hill / Lawrence 1992
-
2. U2 - Arrowhead - 1992 / Zoo TV Tour
i went to that concert too, it was good, but i didn't think it was great. the joshua tree tour at kemper a few years previous was a lot better for me. i don't think i had fully adapted to the change they made yet going from conscientious objectors (joshua tree) to crazy rock stars singing The Fly (achtung baby). for some reason i remember it being really cold that night? dunno. too long ago.
October 18th, 1992 - yeah it was pretty chilly. The first real stadium show I had seen, so it made a pretty big impression. Mysterious Ways and One were amazing. Pride. That stage set still to this blows me away to this day. The Sugarcubes with Bjork opened.
Saw the POP tour at Arrowhead in like 98 and thought it was horrible.

1. Pre-Christmas Trip to the Bay Area in 1969 allowed us to go catch the Stones. Great show.
2. The Band in 1976. The whole family was visiting my Dad's aunt again outside San Francisco for Thanksgiving, we popped into the city for the show the night of Thanksgiving.
3. Another pre-Christmas Concert in 1979. Visiting wife's relatives in Ohio and we drove into Cincinnati to see The Who.
4. Summer Trip to Berlin in 1991, we caught Roger Waters.
5. 1964 The Beatles in Kansas City. Thanks Charlie O!!
This was great bbsing, the one that should have tipped me off was the show that turned into The Last Waltz. If you'd really been there, you probably would have mention Dylan, Neil Young, etc.

Was there. Prob would make 6-10 on my list. Good vibes. Some youtube footage of vedder swinging from the light truss on his mic chord out there i think. Let's Go Bowling was also a pleasant surprise

Gwar played at grinders the last two years our so
I'm pretty sure Stretch was in Gwar at one point.
-
In no particular order...
Kiss - back in the 80's, when the original 4 still had make-up. Parents took us. Awesome.
Van Halen - 1984 tour, DLR was drunk but good
Reba McIntyre - Stage show was amazing
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet tour
Def Leppard - Hysteria
Journey - Frontiers tour. Stage show was second to none for the era
Rolling Stones - Outside in Cessna Stadium
Yeah, I'm a 80's generation survivor.
-
-Grateful Dead Sandstone 1991
Were you there the first or second night? I was at the second night on June 25th. My upstairs neighbors just happened to have an extra ticket, but none for the 24th. Great show though.

Thanks Dobber ... my musical interests are varied to say the least.
Honorable mention should go to Lynyrd Skynyrd and a Hendrix cover band I saw in NOLA in 1990 (Electric Ladyland was their name I think), 4 Jamaican looking cats taking requests in a little dump on Bourbon Street! Also Earth, Wind and Fire are worth the ticket price still today.

I'm a little bummed that my old Roomates band didn't get any love in this thread...No Sharkey's Little Groove Box fans in here huh?

Ween @ Liberty (and a couple of times in Columbia, MO)
Radiohead @ Redrocks for Kid A (also Cleveland, OH)
Dandy Warhols @ Belly Up in Aspen, CO
Beastie Boys @ Fillmore Auditorium in Denver for what they called a gala event prior to two days at Red Rocks
REM @ Sandstone on Monster Tour
Chemical Brothers @ Uptown (late 90's?)
Sigur Ros @ Liberty Hall (early 2000's?)

Question a bump that provided no answer but I will contribute:
1- oscar Springsteen - Sprint Center, 2008 - wasn't even a Springsteen fan, the guy is simply the best.
2 - Wilco - New Hampshire Street, Lawrence, KS - first Wilco live show, been in love ever since.
3 - Arcade Fire - Grant Park, Chicago, Lollapalooza - first performance of The Suburbs ever. Incredible. 5 rows from the front. Pissed in a Gatorade bottle to keep my spot.
4 - Avett Brothers - Red Rocks Amphitheater - by far the best venue I've ever been to. Watching the Wiggles would be worth it here. Portugal The Man opened. Saw them here a year later and John Prine opened :Wha:
5 - Flaming Lips - Wakarusa - Lawrence, KS (before the festival moved away) - I was 18 and have never been around so many naked people in my life. First mushroom trip. Incredible showmanship. Covered "Song Remains The Same" by Led Zeppelin

Concert I wish I had seen:
Pearl Jam - Day on the Hill / Lawrence 1992
Me too. I was a poor growing up and didn't really have friends that went to concert anyway. Huge fan and still am. Went to he home shows in Seattle a couple years ago, but my fave was Madison Square Garden 2016. The earliest I have ever seen them live was like 2008 and I would kill to go back to one of those early shows especially that one. Rusty is going to make fun of us for liking PJ.

Hell yeah! I was a classmate of one band member. They had some sort of deal with Jägermeister so had plenty of shots watching Sharkey’s at Bobby T’s while they were regulars out there.

Not enamored by the song choices, but that set list is why I loved seeing Kanye in concert. The guy is a performer, you get every penny's worth and a whole lot more. When I saw him in OKC it was the Late Registration tour and he did every single song from Late Registration and The College Dropout, except for Last Call, Deray Davis was even there and did a couple of the skits. Also Donda was from OKC and it was Thanksgiving week so she and the Auntie team were all attending the concert.

I mean it was relentless and the song choices worked. Kevin Durant was in the floor and kanye stopped in the middle of a song to point him out. It was the tour where kanye had the floating stage and afterwards I was like "dude must be exhausted and on the verge of a mental breakdown" because it was just him and he was really giving it his all for all thirty plus songs (even if most were just a verse and a chorus). And then like two weeks later he had a mental breakdown and cancelled the tour.
The first time I saw Kanye was during the Glow in the Dark tour at Bonnaroo and it sucked because Pearl Jam's set went an hour and half over and kanye had his ridiculous stage that took forever to set up and he ended up starting after midnight instead of 10pm. Since it was Bonnaroo everyone thought Daft Punk was gonna show up and of course they didn't. Crowd was pissed and it wasn't fun.

His Glow in the Dark tour stop in Boston was #3 on my list. It was awesome Jay was there, didn't perform. Rihanna was there and she came on stage and did the Selena Johnson parts of "All Falls Down." You're right that stage was insane. He did a remix of Hey Momma that was legit 10 minutes long and it ended with him face down, body heaving, in the middle of that monstrosity of a stage.

https://www.stereogum.com/10659/kanye_dont_blame_me_blame_bonnaroo/news/
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so rough ridin' hard I might break my rough ridin' Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, mommy whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I’M FLYING! I’M rough ridin' HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, “KANYE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE.” CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN’T LET’S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE’D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY’D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN’T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH rough ridin' IDIOTS WHO DIDN’T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A rough ridin' LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, ” IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!” I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING crap ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY rough ridin' SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 “THROUGH THE WIRE” I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN’T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT’S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT’S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN’T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT’S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I’M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN’T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I’M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!!!

Yeesh, that's brutal, looks like he still had great energy though, I wonder what he was on to have that kind of energy at 5:30 AM playing to an empty venue.
Safe to say I had a much better experience than you did.

I saw Glow In The Dark Tour in Moline, IL. Lupe Fiasco and Rhianna also performed. NERD was supposed to be there but didn't make it because of the Iowa floods. The concert was awesome and we were oblivious to the weather. Walked out of the arena and there was two feet of rushing water on the ground. By the time we were able to drive out to higher ground there were cops directing traffic in waist deep water and cars were starting to float away. rough ridin' wild.

I saw Lupe at the Midland and it kinda sucked. I was talking to a guy who said Lupe does the best shows and we didn't know what we were in for. Lupe went on as the headliner for like 45min and left immediately after, no encore. The guy was apologizing to us after the show for building it up. Really strange because I consistently hear good things about him.
-
I enjoyed his show. He was the first of the three to go on so his set probably was only like 45 minutes or so. I was really bummed that NERD didn't make it.
