Bands you've seen in their final concert
I can only think of one I've attended. Genesis at the Hollywood Bowl 3 years ago. It was the last show of the tour and it sure looks like they're never going to tour or perform as a band again. Rather lackluster show by the way.
Anyone else seen a band's last hoorah? |
Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
I drove 600 miles and walked 17 miles to see Phish's final show, they came back 5 years later (I was there too)

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
I came close and didn't even realize it. Saw Ben Folds Five in Scranton, PA in 2000 in what was apparently the last show of the current tour. They broke up soon after, but not before playing another show in their hometown of Winston-Salem, NC. Of course, they also played a one-off reunion show a few years back, but I'm thrilled that I got to see them one last time near the end of their original run.

I was at The Who's final show December 17th 1982 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
I saw one of the final shows by The Ramones at Lollapalooza '96. I don't think I've seen the final, final concert by anyone, though.

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
The closest I have been was seeing Damageplan 10 days before Dimebag Darrel was shot and killed on stage. I had been waffling on whether to go to the show or not, but I am really glad I did. (first, the show itself was awesome, and then after the shooting because I would never be able to see him again, obviously)

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
Not a band that I'm aware of, but I did see what was probably Harry Chapin's final performance. He was on Broadway in a concert show called The Night that made America Famous. I saw the last performance. Afterward, Chapin, friends and co-workers did an extra hour of an impromptu talent show. It was great. Later that year, he had the car crash that took his life.

The Shoreline show was a "final" show, it was just the final show before the hiatus.
That said, Shoreline was nowhere near as depressing as Coventry. The band at least put on a solid (if not entirely remarkable) show at Shoreline. |

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
Saw what i believe was the final Dream Theater show with Portnoy in the band if that counts (Iron Maiden Final Frontier tour)

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
Led Zeppelin - O2 Arena
I've seen a bunch of final tours. But nothing else springs to mind of farewell shows. |

Rocket From The Crypt.
That's it (that I can remember). All the other bands who I've been to their "final" concert, always end up reuniting. |

Then, with the pre-show music before the last show being "(This Could Be) The Last Time" and the post-show music being "Let It Be," those feelings were only amplified. Even the band has come out and said that they considered not coming back as they considered Cypress the apex of their career and knew it would never be topped.
That said, Shoreline was nowhere near as depressing as Coventry. The band at least put on a solid (if not entirely remarkable) show at Shoreline. Those shoreline shows are great, Coventry sucked. |
Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
It wasn't technically their last show, but I saw Art of Noise during their final US tour in San Francisco, when they were in the States for their Coachella set in 1999.

Re: Bands you've seen in their final concert
I saw two "last" shows - Tina Turner in LA about 10 years or so ago, and Joe Jackson in Boston (remember 'Concerts on the Common'?) back in the 80's. Of course, both have since toured again...
