Concerts

DrunkenAdama

I finally get to see Radiohead in a couple of days, and i'm very excited. I just saw Cursive last week. M83 is in May, Destroyer is in June. Last year i got to see Arcade Fire and the National, the year before I saw Sufjan Stevens. Its been a great last couple of years for concerts. What are some notable concerts you've attended?

I just saw Jeff Mangum from Neutral Milk Hotel 4 times in the past 6 months or so. I have been a fan for a long time, so when he came out of hiding to play shows I scooped up as many tickets as I could.

Also, Black Keys at Madison Square Garden on Monday.

The Black Keys would be awesome live.

They are, I saw them a couple of years ago, HUGE energy for 2 dudes.

My favorite 2 bands are Phish and Radiohead- and they are co-headlining Bonnaroo this year. Damn am I excited! They have nothing whatsoever in common musically, yet the universe saw its way clear to hook it up for me. Thankya universe!

I'm really looking forward to the Black keys. I kind of wish I saw them a few years ago though. Now they play with a full band. I would have liked to have seen them back in the day with just the two of them. Maybe they will do another tour like that in the future.

I went to UFC 129 in Toronto, biggest ufc event in history. I also went to a Metallica concert in 09 and I saw mac miller in august 2011 (lol)

I've been incredibly lucky. During only about five years attending live concerts, I've managed to see:

Tool (twice), Muse, Bob Dylan, The Mars Volta, RATM, The Raconteurs, Metallica, Pendulum (twice), Faith No More, Serj Tankian (twice), and Rammstein.

All were fantastic rides in their own way, but special mention has to be made of the first Tool set, The Mars Volta, and Faith No More. All mind shattering experiences.

PLUS I'm also seeing Radiohead this year, in November!

Wow i don't know if i've ever heard of someones two favorite bands being Phish and Radiohead. What a weird combo. Its awesome that you get to see them on the same bill. You ever listen to the Analyze Phish podcast?

I got to stand for 5 hours straight at a metal concert a couple months ago which was pretty cool

Oh fuck! i'd give my left nut to see that. The Cure is one of my favorites, and Interpol is right up there.

No, but I will now! I'm hooking it up on the iTunes as I type. Thanks!! Interesting premise- most of my friends tend towards punk rock so I'm very familiar with this sort of discussion. (I'm at 78 Phish shows and counting) This will only be my third time seeing Radiohead though. For years I hated Radiohead- but one day about three years ago- it just clicked and music I didn't like- suddenly blossomed to my ears. I like everything though- I'm seeing Yo-Yo Ma in April. Saw 4 nights of Yonder in Boulder over New Years. Music is where I go to get what I think most people get from church.

I was luck enough to go see Amon Tobin last year. There was joy-jizz being sprayed all over

Digging Radiohead and Phish isn't so odd... I do it, too. =,)

Going to Bonnaroo?

grl_come_undone

Nah, it doesn't seem to be in the cards. I haven't been to a multi-day show in years... I think the last one might have been a NYE Phish show in Big Cypress about 10 years ago.

I'd kinda like to go, though... could always change my mind!

I bought tickets today, though, to see Radiohead in DC on June 3rd.

Seeing The Black Keys/Arctic Monkeys on May 9th, and then Roger Waters perform The Wall for my second time on May 26, will be nice to watch it this time without losing my mind on LSD.

Saw Wilco and Radiohead at The Troubador in '95 or '96. Radiohead had just written "Electioneering" and played it 2 or 3 times because they were so chuffed by it. Wilco was mesmerizing that night.

Going to the Kasabian show here in Montreal later this month followed by Miike Snow in May and Radiohead in... June, if I'm not mistaken.

Might throw some random shows in here and there. I'd love to see Bloody Beetroots again.

A buddy of mine once said, "have you ever noticed that everyone LIKES Tom Petty, but nobody LOVES Tom Petty?"
I am sure there are exceptions, but ive found his statement to be roughly true. Why is that?
@dumbdumbnumber1 -- he puts on a good show

andrew bird is small but mesmerizing live.

@dentalplan, did you manage to get tickets for radiohead? I was in the internet waiting room for a while i went on at 11:59 and all the good seats were sold out in 25 minutes and i still was in the waiting room im so upset ive been waiting for them to come but just means ill have to hustle in front on the day of the concert lol

@kamehameha,I am extremely jealous of you that must have been one of the most amazing shows of your life.

I just missed the opportunity to see tool in toronto in january and i have so much regret over it. The greatest shows ive seen have been the black keys,gorillaz,massive attack,paul mccartney and joe rogan in montreal and looking forward to him in new york as well haha. Also plan on red hot chilli peppers in may, probably the black keys again on tuesday and whatever else may come may way

Yeah we got floor seats. My buddy gets to buy tickets days before even Evenko does their presale, I don't know how.

Just saw Radiohead in KC.
That shit was fucking amazazing. Best concert i've ever attended by a long shot. The band that opened for them, Other Lives, was really great too.

madcrunchy

Just saw the 2 shows opening Phish's summer tour in MA.. Check out a show if you can.. and if you've never seen Phish before go in with an open mind and let the music fly you like a humming bird to the nectar of your soul.. and don't forget to look for that LSD-25 that is going strong around the parking lot before.. It is mighty good!

Howdy, Stranger!
