whoops, forgot
saw ben folds live too
holy SHIT

there's this one song he does...fuck whats it called
the luckiest!
its a really simple but powerful piano part, just mostly chords
and on the recording there's a chorus of aaah's that goes like, say its in the key of C major, EEEEEE F GGGGGGGGG (each one's a held quarter note or w/e)
and so before the song, he stands up and is like i know this song, but i need you to help me out
ok all the people in the audience with low voices, sing this after me
and he sings the EFG part, real simple
then all the deep voices in the audience do it
then he does the same thing with people with midrange voices
then gets all the people with high voices
so its everyone singing just one note on 3 octaves in unison
every single person in the entire place, and this is just a small theatre-ish venue at a local college, amazing acoustics that reverberate like crazy
so nearing the end of the song he signals for everyone do to that
and he goes for like 30 seconds just banging on the piano and everyone singing along loudly, its already pretty amazing
then he just stops on the piano and like conducts the audience for one time
then stands on the piano bench, and does it again
then he jumps on top of the piano, and has everyone do it one last time, but he has everyone hold that last note for like 15 seconds
and for those 15 seconds, everyone in the audience in this auditorium was holding the same note and it seriously was like a religious experience, it was absolutely mindblowing
and he signaled for everyone to stop and ran off stage
and then of course came on for encores
but shit....that one song was fucking AMAZING

i actually saw "pedro" from napoleon dynamite in concert, he was spinnin house...that was rather different

hahaa!! you sound exactly like me when i get excited, all sporatic ramble and such. What is the song called ? You won me over. I'll get it. It's called "The luckiest?" p.s. that sounds amazing. I love intimate venues !

1996: metallica, soundgarden, ramones, i forget this year, it was a blur.

i am sure i have forgotten a few, i forget...

I have seen teh temptations and shela e. I liked the temptations but not so much shela e.

Lets see here...

Living in Colorado we have one of the best natural ampitheaters around in Red Rocks, there's nothing like seeing a concert (or rave for that matter) at that venue.

I've seen Incubus (one can actually see me in the alive @ red rocks dvd if you look closely and know where to look), 311 and Deftones there.

So total concerts

Incubus (5 times, fav band so that sums that up, im jealous of lucid being able to go to that concert in nyc, I've heard so many stories about that show)
311 (3 times, as lucid said always a great energetic performance)
Deftones(3 times) Chino has such a presence that its insane, great fuckin band, so underrated imo
STP I forgot who said this earlier, but I'm so lucky that I got to see these guys live. Weiland is such a showman, and they played all their older/earlier/better songs.
Staind 2/3 times Aaron Lewis has one hell of a range with his voice, from primal rage scream to beautiful singing. Still never heard em play "Raw" live, which is one of my favs of theirs, but "Spleen" owns everytime.

Fuck it i'll just list the rest lol

lets see ozzfest '01 for papa roach, linkin park, lame ass crazytown (they were being boo'd constantly, and they kept sayin shit like "you're just mad coz we'll fuck your girlfriends later" real original), slipknot (fuckin crazy) manson, black sabbath, disturbed and mudvayne.

Warped Tour '97 was the first concert I ever went to, that was crazy coz i didnt know any of the bands, it was just to go and hang out w/ people. Pennywise was there, and so were the vandals, thats about all I remember lol. I do know a girl we went w/ went onto the vandals bus for like an hr tho, while her bf was out with us freaking out (rightfully so, god only knows what went on in there, she was hot, but also denied anything happening, yeah right)

thats all i can recall for now, i know for a fact there are more...

*Edit* lol i remember more now

KTCL's (a local radio station here in denver) Big Adventure.
311
Incubus
Long Beach Dub All-Stars (sublime minus brad)
Goldfinger
among others

Lollapalooza '03
Jane's Addiction
Audioslave
Incubus
Queens of the Stone Age
Jurassic 5

fuck edit again

Green Day, Blink and Jimmy Eat World

this was pre-american idiot and Green Day still totally fuckin stole the show even tho blink were the "headliners" so much energy

i want to see a concert at Red Rocks so badly. that place just looks amazing. i remember watching the Hybrid DVD, i think, and they had a lot of footage of when they played there with Moby.

lol and last weekend i was stoned and flipping through channels and somehow ended up watching 20 min of John Tesh Live @ Red Rocks. it was utterly horrible.

LOL, shit girl check out the Incubus Alive @ Red Rocks dvd, its great, the first encore track Pantomime, gives me chills every single time. That and Glass were the 2 tracks that I wanted them to play.

I'm sure you can find it on amazon, definitely worth it.

Oh and as far as RR is concerned, road trip it out this summer for Global Dance Fest (formerly Rave on the Rocks)... nothins better than bein mashed outta your mind seeing the lasers on the rocks looking out over the lights of denver

I started going last year.

Linkin Park was my first, then Blink 182, then Finch, then Jimmy Eat World and then Chevelle.

This friday I'm probably going to my second Finch concert.

haha i saw jimmy eat world too
promise ring opened i think
desaparicidos was supposed to and didn't show

but yeah...JEW pretty much rocked the house
that was right around when The Middle was their single, less emo and more loud and angry

yeah it was pretty good, and i didnt realise at the time that it would be such an expierence. the aucoustics werent that good, b/c it was at this old coliseum (NY coliseum) which i think is used for boat shows and stuff.

after he died i thought about how is behaviour was that nite and you could tell he was on drugs when you really thought about it (singing with his closed, which he does normally, but this time was different and he seemed like he was barely awake). i was 16 at the time, so it was pretty cool.

Being born and raised in indie/rock-city Kristiansand, attending concerts was inevitable for a music lover like myself. Some particularly memorable ones, mostly from the Quart Festival right where I live (www.quart.no):

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead (Quart Festival, 2002) Sound sucked, and I feel sorry for the guitarist, who had to stand with his ear next to the monitor for the entire gig. It still rocked big time though.

D' Angelo, Missin Linx, 3rd Bass and Dead Prez all putting a massive grin on my face while the summer in Kristiansand shows off its best sides. Then as night sets in, Leftfield go on to pummel 3000 indie rock heads with some of the fiercest subbasses I've felt in my life. What a day. (Quart Festival, 2001)

Travis (Oslo Spektrum, 2003) Music was just ok, but it was just one of those times where I felt better than ever.

Fatboy Slim (Quart Festival, 2001) Not a concert per se, but still deserves a mention. Norman Cook is probably the only DJ who will ever manage to have enough crossover appeal to headline a rock/indie gig, let alone pull several thousand people and make them go completely nuts. I will never forget Michael Jackson yelling "you know I'm baaad!" on top of Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat.

Dead Prez Rule!!!

nothing like intelligent black power rap!

I like that song, "Be Heathy." The one where they rap about eating your veges, getting your vitamins and Orange Juice

I can't get into much rap, but I do love hip hop. Especially older.
Klang, what was Arrested Development like? "Mr. Wendal" is one of my favorites !

hahaa and US3 ... "brace yourself as the beat hits ya, dip trip flip fantasia"

concerts....
Rolling Stones (twice)
Crosby Stills Nash and Yonge
Stone Temple Pilots
Blues Traveller
The Tragically Hip (6 times.... has anyone outside of Canada heard of these guys?)
Public Enemy
and a couple of festival type shows with a bunch of people/bands but I've lost too many brain cells to remember them all.
