I saw Billy Joel in late 1998. It was alright but I think Elton would be a much better entertainer!

I saw the Wailers the day before Thanksgiving.... I dunno if it was the best concert ever or I was really stoned, but it was pretty good.

Hey did you see them at the TLA last summer? I noticed you were from Jersey and they were on my list.

i saw them once last spring at a secret show in a club in NYC. it was incredible. i had never heard of them but my friends were obsessed so i went along. i was happy i went.

 

[blazerazor]

TOOL

 

[ggnl]

The Blood Brothers. Seen them twice, the first time was amazing, the second time wasn't so great.

The Locust. If anyone's even heard this band, they actually play faster live.

Thats cool, they do put on a great show. My only complaint is that their sets only last about 30-45 minutes at most. I think they're all too cracked out to put on a long set.

most of their songs are less then 2 min so its tough to make a long set. they are recording a new album now so hopefully they will just tack that on to their current lineup and play longer.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Radiohead, fall 1997 in San Francisco (OK Computer tour), followed by any of the several times I saw the Minutemen live in small clubs when I was in high school.

 

[Sam334]

Tie between Radiohead and Tool. Bob Dylan was pretty good too.

A Perfect Circle - Tweeter Center Camden NJ
Muse - Electric Factory Philadelphia
Marilyn Manson - Electric Factory Philadelphia
Taste of Chaos Tour - Tweeter Center Camden NJ
Evanescence
Mindless Self Indulgence

I dunno, too many to mention over too many years.

I always wanted to see Manson during the Antichrist Superstar phase. Bitter that I missed it.

Also, is your sig Wendy The Retard?

 

[Parrotheader]

Eric Clapton a few years ago in Memphis. Excellent show.

Close runners up would be:

-Pink Floyd in '94 (great production)
-Jimmy Buffett in Atlanta's amphitheater on any summer (great party atmosphere)

That would have kind of difficult, since Roy Orbison died shortly after the first album was released.

Yeah, Manson was awesome in his current tour because he's basically doing it for the best-of album. So he played all of his big hits and put on an awesome show. Plus, he may never tour again as he's looking into other areas, i.e. his painting and movies

And yes, my sig is from Stern (satellite in one more year....can't wait)

 

[anxi80]

in no particular order...

-lovers rock tour (grew up listening to sade and after all those years, finally got to see her live)
-sprite liquid mix tour (saw talib kweli and the roots [seen roots numerous times, best live band ever, saw them on a bill with kast once also])
-hard knock life tour (found out i was going 2 hours before the show started, got row 11 floor seats for free, badass having meth and red flying over smoking. next night, went to the 'rock is dead' tour, and saw korn and rob zombie)
-street scene 2004 (saw the reunion leg of a tribe called quest's tour. also saw dilated peoples and black eyed peas [they played a couple old joints!])
-swindle and the bouncing souls (at a local club called the soma. whew, good energetic sets!)

going to go see 'mos def' one week from today. cant wait. been listening to a lot of his material lately.
