best concerts i've seen...
Incubus @ Roseland Ballroom, NYC in 2001 - this concert was the saturday after 9/11 and my ex-bf and i had tickets, we thought for sure it would get cancelled but Incubus decided to keep it going and they donated all their profits to Red Cross and other organizations... we had gone into the city earlier to walk down to ground zero and by the time we got to the venue i was just feeling so sick. i almost threw up a few times and i kept trying to sit down but security wouldn't let me sit anywhere... the concert was sold-out and the emotion was just amazing. Incubus did a really amazing job of trying to lift people's spirits with music after such a disaster.
Zwan @ The Rave in 2002 (before they broke up) - AMAZING concert, and i don't even like Billy Corgan's voice, but musically they were really amazing
311 @ Summerfest grounds in 2003 - they played an outside concert @ the Summerfest grounds but not during Summerfest... they are imo, the best live band i've ever seen, they just totally know how to work the crowd. coolest thing was when they brought out all these steel drums and the whole band was playing drums together.
Dream Theater @ The Rave in 2003 - another amazing band to see live, i remember being really sick when i saw them, all doped up on cold pills... just watching their keyboardist is mindblowing.
i've seen tons of other bands but those are just the ones that stick out as the best. i usually don't see a lot of concerts all year until Summerfest, unless there are bands that i REALLY want to see.
the last concert i went to was Gaelic Storm in Chicago for St Pattys day this year, and the next concert i am going to is Keane (this wednesday). |

i can say i've been to one concert in my entire life. that was limp bizkit febuary 2004. i went because my gf was going and i got someones ticket that dropped out.....
the warm up was okay, just drank a couple of pints in the middle thinking, yeah not too bad, them getting booed off was alright. then the main thing came in....me being used to raves this is the total opposite, moshing is beyond me :/
after about 5 mins of trying to put up with it i left my gf and her bro and went to the bar at the back and got sloshed :P
edit: behind blue eyes is still a nice song |

A the last Big Day out I saw System of a Down, Slipknot, Beastie Boy & Powderfinger.
Previously ive been to see Korn, Spiderbait, Tool, Limpbizkit, & Opeth live. Out of those the Opeth & Tool concerts where the best. Opeth are just amazing musicians. Tool was pretty good, though Maynard spent the whole time behind a shadow screen. |

hahhaha the hell?
I've been to:
Rammstein
Metallica
Linkin Park
Limp Bizkit
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Deftones
Mars Volta
Queens of the Stone Age
Hatebreed
And a bunch of smaller bands I don't remember the name of.
Oh and on Thursday I've heard The Mountain Goats at this dive downtown.
Rammstein was BY FAR the greatest. They destroyed the show with their unbeleivable pyro.
Here's another shot from their performance :tongue3

17 times to see phish is really not a lot. most people i know who have seen them have been to at least 40 shows. some people have been to hundreds. it's different than a regular concert. |
