What bands/groups have you seen live?

Saw Disturbed and Pop evil on Tuesday really great show two .

 

Not too many,but here :
Stevie Wonder
Elton John
Phil Collins
Supertramp (4 times) in the late 70 s)
Yes
Micheal Bubbly

 

Way too many to try and mention them all.

Favorite venue: Toadies 2016, they did an all-day festival at a trailer park on Possum Kingdom Lake. So it was a concert that you camped out at, and could swim or lounge lakeside while listening to the bands. Between sets they would stand on the dock and pick out an unplugged version of their greatest hits. Despite that it was 10 or so aspiring local bands (plus Toadies), it wound up being my favorite show ever.

Worst show: Its a toss up. Cure comes to mind, fuckin Robert Smith was so stoned that he was drooling into the microphone. Couldn't even keep tempo with the rest of the band.

Most recent: Spoon, Cage the Elephant, and Beck. All three put on terrific acts. Half of the venue walked out during Beck's third song, place was a ghost town towards the end, they finally gave up and walked offstage without so much as a goodnight. Shame on you, Dallas. Shame on you.

 

my favorite outdoor show was .38 Special in the summer of 1989 (30yrs ago wow that long already)
at the county fair where there used to be a horse race track my dad always took me to feed the horses

 

I have 11 or 12 of these hanging in the man cave. And these are just the ones that made it home! Sadly, a lot of concerts now are either paperless or print your own. But yeah, I go to shows once or twice a month.

 

Well saw Iron Maiden last night for the second time. Don't miss the Legacy of the Beast tour. It's EPIC!

 

I'm sure I'll forget some, especially opening acts, so I'll just list the bigger names I've seen.

In my 20s and 30s, I was a concert/live show addict. I went to shows all of the time. I continue to support music, musicians, and bands. Just not as much now.

Very jealous of Social D. On my list

 

They are actually touring presently..But you definitely have to see them live once.

 

Am I the only poster with a 5 member boy band on their list?

 

Nah..I've seen Journey about a dozen times.

 

LOL

 

You just triggered more to my memory. I have taken my daughters to see a couple of pop shows. Yes...Beer helped me get through the performances.

• Aaron Carter
• Cheetah Girls

At the Aaron Carter show, the screaming was deafening. A venue full of preteen girls screaming their lungs out was truly louder than the Ted Nugent show. I am surprised my ears weren't bleeding.

At the Cheetah Girls show, it wasn't so bad. I did like all of the hot moms dressed up in skimpy cheetah print outfits.
