Who have you seen in concert?
I didn't see anything on this (kinda surprising, so I may have missed a thread on it), so.... Who all have you seen live?
For me, it's been: • Billy Joel (3x's): He was the first person I saw in concert, back on his "River of Dreams" tour. • Phil Collins (2x's) • Elton John • Elton John & Billy Joel (2x's): I saw them on the very first night they played together, and it was amazing! • Brian Setzer Orchestra (5x's) • '68 Comeback Special: Brian Setzer's trio a few years back • Bon Jovi (2x's): Good to see, but once was really enough ;) • Huey Lewis & The News (3x's) • Barenaked Ladies (2x's): A New Year's show in Philly, and a second time in Detroit (they recorded this show and released it on CD & DVD- awesome!). • Jewel • Peter Gabriel (2x's) • John Fogerty • The Monkees (2x's): Sans Michael, on their "Justus" tour. And sans Davy recently, because he died. • Jerry Lee Lewis (2x's) • Jim Brickman • Sting • Nick Lowe (3x's): Super nice guy, got to meet him after the last show! • Bruce Springsteen (3x's): Also saw him, Fogerty, Bright Eyes, and R.E.M. on the "Vote For Change" tour. • They Might Be Giants • The Police (2x's): Once with Elvis Costello opening for them which was great. • Wanda Jackson: Awesome seeing her, but disappointed that she played like 6 songs. • Sue Foley (2x's): The first time we saw her, we literally sat with our knees to the edge of the stage. It was an amazing show! • Sue Foley & Peter Karp (3x's) • Marshall Crenshaw • Robert Gordon: With his backing band consisting of Chris Spedding, Slim Jim Phantom & Glen Matlock. • Jason & The Scorchers • Commander Cody • Hillbilly Casino (38x's) • Whiskey Daredevils (4x's) • Reverend Horton Heat • Fleetwood Mac • Jason Michael Carroll (2x's): But only because a friend is in the band. ;) and a couple non-music ones: • George Carlin • Dennis Miller • Mike Birbiglia |
Marilyn Manson in '96
Blur in '97 I think that's it. I don't really like large crowds of people. |
I've seen a lot of artists live. Just from the ones that pop to mind and from looking through iTunes, I've been to:
3 Doors Down, Ryan Adams, Ambulance Ltd., Arcade Fire, Audioslave, Better Than Ezra, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, The Black Crowes, Blues Traveler, Brad, The Bravery, Broken Social Scene, Built to Spill, Cake, Coldplay, Collective Soul, Chris Cornell, Elvis Costello, Counting Crows, The Cranberries, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Matthews Band, Howie Day, Death Cab for Cutie, Dinosaur Jr, Doves, Bob Dylan, Eels, Jay Farrar, Fastball, Flickerstick, The Frames, Franz Ferdinand, The Freddy Jones Band, Fuel, Peter Gabriel, Gin Blossoms, Gomez, David Gray, Guster, Hootie & the Blowfish, Interpol, Jump Little Children, Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Keane, The Killers, Lenny Kravitz, Live, Lyle Lovett, M83, Mates of State, John Mellencamp, Natalie Merchant, Metric, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, The National, Oasis, Ok Go, Old 97's, Our Lady Peace, Over the Rhine, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Phish, R.E.M., Rusted Root, Adam Sandler, Sea Ray, Semisonic, Seven Mary Three, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Sigur Ros, Paul Simon, Sister Hazel, Snow Patrol, Son Volt, The Soundtrack of our Lives, Bruce Springsteen, Stars, Stellastarr*, The Steve Miller Band, The Stills, Sting, Stroke 9, The Strokes, Tantric, The Thrills, Toad the Wet Sprocket, U2, The Walkmen, The Wallflowers, Roger Waters, The Why Store, and Wilco A definitive list would probably be at least triple that, from opening bands I don't remember and bands I saw at festivals that didn't really interest me. |
I'm going to not name any local bands that never got record deals because I would not honestly remember everything.
Let's see, off the top of my head: Agents of Good Roots (x2) Al DiMeola Alien Ant Farm Andrew Bird Beck (x3) Ben Harper Badly Drawn Boy The Beat Junkies Black Flag Blues Traveler Boy Sets Fire Cafe Tacuba Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (x3) Coldplay (x4) Dalek Dark Horse and the Carousels Death From Above 1979 Dilated Peoples Electrelane (x3) Gangstarr Grandaddy Grizzly Bear Guster (x2) Harlem Shakes Jack Johnson Jurassic 5 Kid Koala The King of France Ladytron Linkin Park Lola Ray Manu Chao Maxïmo Park MC Paul Barman Neil Young Nine Inch Nails Of Montreal Omnisoul / Crash Motive (many times) Paul van Dyk Peter, Bjorn and John Placebo The Pogues Primus Prince Paul Queens of the Stone Age Rage Against the Machine Richard Ashcroft Sebadoh She Wants Revenge Sigur Ros Soul Coughing (x3) Starsailor Taproot Tender Forever TV on the Radio Underworld Vampire Weekend (x2) Ween Yo La Tengo And lots more. I can sya this list would be impossible for me to complete. |

I missed seeing Luscious Jackson. If I would have known they were going to call it quits, I would have made sure to see that last tour. They got better each album.
