Lovelyish

I saw the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in a small intimate venue. There were only about 20 of us there.

The Decemberists are mind blowing in concert. But, Something Corporate nearly brought me to tears the second time I saw them and they played Konstantine.

I’ve never been to a concert ): I just watched the Big Bang Alive come back Concert though :3 Wish I was there @.@

MacMiller’s free concert outdoors in the Boston Commons. It was my first and only concert so far. It was amazing. It took about 5 hours for him to actually show but the dancers and other performers while waiting for him to show was just as good. 

I’ve only been to a few. One was for some local/Alberta bands (Radioforhelp, Tupelo Honey, and uh.. Cannot at all remember who else) and it was all right. I saw The Spill Canvas with Meg & Dia a few years ago and other than going alone when my friend decided to bail on me, it was pretty awesome. Especially All Hail The Heartbreaker. The lead singer was so awesome live! Same with Meg & Dia, they do sound better live. And before that I saw Three Days Grace with a few other bands at K-Days/Capital Ex, which is basically a big amusement park thing that comes every summer. That was probably the best one I’ve been to because of how much excitement there was in the crowd and it was just a lot of fun. We even got hosed down a few times because it was so hot out. And I almost got to see local Daniela Andrade not too long ago but it was sold out and they wouldn’t let us in If I could go see any artist right now live I’d probably want to see The Early November, Blink 182 (talk about nostalgia!), Sleeping At Last, Sean Hayes, and Daniela. Maybe a few others but those are the main ones for sure right now.

Death Cab For Cutie and The Head and the Heart… Needless to say, it was AWESOME <3

I have seen Weezer as well. They were amazing. In fact, I would have to say Weezer along with Blink-182 and the little bit of Taking Back Sunday I was able to see. That was a night to remember, especially seeing one of my favourite bands reunite and play together again! It was rainy and that also set the mood. 

Michael Buble! I’ve been a HUGE fan of his music for a really long time, and last summer I took a bus from my hometown to where I go to school, and I stayed with a friend for the night (I lived at home for the summer). I went by myself but I had no problem with that because I was dead-set on seeing Michael no matter if I went alone or not! I splurged for tickets and sat in the 7th row, singing and dancing along the entire night. He was amazing! Perfect night.

My first concert was a surprise!! I was about to graduate from middle school & we drove to Pennsylvania to see Diana Ross live! And yes I knew all the worlds!

I went to see Incubus last summer with my boyfriend and a friend of ours. We got lawn seats and it had been raining on and off all day but the weather mostly held up for the show. When it did start to rain 3/4 of the way through, a random guy came up to us and offered us pavilion tickets “courtesy of the band” because there were still a ton of empty seats, so we took them, got into the pavilion, and rocked out for the rest of the show. It was so much fun and they played all of their hits and some of their newer material and it was just amazing. I can’t even put into words how great the experience was.

My boyfriend and I also saw this indie band called Company of Thieves at a small show in northern Virginia last June that was a lot of fun. The house was packed, they sounded incredible live, and the opening bands were actually really good, too. We’re planning on seeing them when they come back to the same location in May because we had a great time at their last show.

Main floor, 32nd row center for Cher.  Main floor, 4th row center for Van Morrison.  And last year I got to see Johnny Clegg in a small venue and afterwards I got to meet him and get his autograph.  He’s playing the same venue again on July 12 and I’ve already ordered my tickets.  :)

Warped Tour. Just because it’s like 10 concerts and there are so many cool people. 

I. Love. Concerts. Last summer, I actually went to a few – Bright Eyes, Dispatch, U2, and Death Cab for Cutie. All the shows were phenomenal and, being legends, U2 puts on a spectacular, visually captivating performance. However, the best one was Dispatch. They’ve been my favorite band since high school and when I found out they were getting back together and touring, I literally was online the SECOND tickets went on sale in my area. I was counting down the days until I could see them and let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint. I think the majority of why I felt the show to be so fantastic was the fact that they have been my favorite band for so long. Anyone who went to the show was a die hard fan… and the arena was PACKED! I made friends with the people around me and overall it was almost an out of body, otherworldly experience that I long to relive sometime soon.

Oh man. I went to a private OneRepublic concert the summer before last and I was basically in the second row. That was freaking awesome. But I think the BEST was the All Star Concert in Central Park in 2008, with Bon Jovi. My spot wasn’t the best, but the atmosphere was amazing and it was my first live Bon Jovi experience. Ugh, what a day! <3

Backstreet Boys with New Kids… I had floor seats and Nick Carter reached out for me! Even though I was like 7 years old when they were a hit, it was fricken amazing

My favorite concert… Electric Zoo 2010.. THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS!!!! 2nd, DEADMAU555 at La Machine, Paris!!! 

Seeing Radiohead live was probably the closest thing to a religious experience I’ve ever had. It was the summer of 2008 in West Palm Beach and I remember it being the most positive and upbeat concert atmosphere. The crowd was an awesome mix of people of all ages and walks of life. The people to my left were shirtless hippie looking dudes who were most likely stoned (judging by their behavior) and the people to my right were a well dressed couple in their mid-thirties who told me that was their third time seeing Radiohead live. Then when Radiohead took the stage there was the most amazing sense of unity within the crowd as everyone cheered and started singing along. Oh my goodness, they sounded PHENOMENAL!

The Shins!! I’m very jealous right now ;p

One of the best experiences I’ve had was seeing The Bravery. I was about 15 years old at the time, and my whole family loooves that band so we all went to see them together on Valentine’s Day! My brothers and I were dancing up a storm front row. We were so close to the band, and it was one of the very few shows I’ve been to where people genuinely got dancy.

Also, this past September I saw Katy Perry front row at the last minute. That was a lot of fun! At the end she used her little whipped cream cannon inspired by the California Girls video to spray the audience and shot out confetti while there were giant beach balls bouncing around everywhere. I went by myself but ohhh it was fun c:

Concerts are some of the best memories

Motion City Soundtrack. Hands down. They did a two-night gig in Los Angeles last summer where they played through all of their albums in order. It was mind-blowing.

Meeting Tom DeLonge at a Blink 182 concert! Ahh! Best moment ever <3

I saw the hong kong superstar, Jacky Cheuing’s concert last year in vegas. most people here probably never heard of him. I paid $300 bucks cash for seats near the front row and it was worth every dollar because his singing is that mesmerizing I felt as if I was serenaded in my seat even though I wasn’t the only one there my limbs were weak and I was literally melting in my seat as his voice romanced me for over 2 hours I saw the concert twice because it was that amazing.

if the phantom of the opera counts as a concert, then that was awesome I got front row seats and it was so body meltingly romantic

Tegan and Sara

The Halloween show from two years ago was pretty awesome. One of the bands, Modern Action, is made up of three old bands, The Bodies, The Briefs, and The Shifters, and played songs from all three different bands. I was in the front yelling “Pack Your Bags! Pack Your Bags!” and when they did, everyone started cheering, dancing, and singing along.

Flogging Molly was pretty good too. But this might get replaced by Iron Maiden.

edit—*Cheung

Bonnaroo 2011….last year. The Arcade Fire concert was the most incredible thing I’ve ever experienced. I wasn’t super close, but I was a bit drunk, and I was dancing and singing and soaking it all in. Bonnaroo also had a lot of other incredible shows. Others elsewhere would include Bright Eyes, The Avett Brothers, Death Cab, Yuck, The New Pornographers, Sleigh Bells…so many great ones.

Demi Lovato. Second row from the front. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna die from euphoria or pass out because I was that close! :’)

Seeing My Chemical Romance last minute with my best friend at the time.. twas not only an amazing musical lineup but they really put on a show!

Ultra Music Festival last year was incredible. I loved seeing chemical brothers, tiesto, steve aoki, fake blood, skrillex… i can’t WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND cuz i’m going to miami again for round two

Indigo Girls!! They played in a tiny intimate venue, I was front and center. So close to Amy Ray that I could see the veins in her hand as she strummed the guitar. And oh holy jesus they were the most beautiful hands… *fucking swoon*
I took the set-list as a souvenir and Emily gave me her guitar pick. Did I say fucking swoon? Jesus I am such a dyke. But they were just so HOT. And clearly made to sing together. For my own personal listening pleasure, of course. giggle

electric zoo 2010 day 1

I’ve seen some pretty amazing concerts in my life. My first one was I guess more of a show, a couple screamo bands in a local church (weird, I know, right?) Most notably These Silhouettes. I then saw Kt Tunsdale, Sam Roberts, John Foggerty and The Eagles in an amazing outdoor concert. It was an amazing experience. Then George Thorogood and the Destroyers<3 which was just the most bad ass night of my life so far. The last concert I saw almost two years ago was Barenaked Ladies and it was so fun. They’re just hilarious.

My fav concerts have been Tim Mcgraw because of my all-out wild country friends I went with and how many old hits he sang and also Britney Spears because it was so much fun and I’d been dying to see her since I was about 6 years old haha.

fuck… either die antwoord or coheed and cambria

Radiohead.

LADY GAGA APRIL 25TH 2011 IN MONTREAL, amazing experience. she is amazing live and i really felt conncected to her the way she spoke to the audience and interacted by take a book a fan made composed of letters of other fans from france and read a few aloud to the crowd…. i would go see her again for suuure. also, the set changes and dancers/theatrics were truly amazing

The best concert that I’ve been to is Sydney KPOP Concert 2011t!! It was so amazing!

I LOVE live music and have been to soo many concerts, that this is a super hard question.I’ve seen everyone from Led Zepplin to Green Day. For music, I’d say my fave has been Coachella a few years ago. Saw Paul McCartney, Black Keys, Morrissey, Cage the Elephant, Airbourne Toxic Event, Franz Ferdinand etc.(i think this one is in my top ten because I love Paul McCartney and can now die happy that I’ve seen him live) My best concert experience was probably Bob Seger (in 1978) only because about 20 of us went and had front row seats and met the band. But U2, David Bowie, Stones and Green Day were awesome as well. It would easier to put my worst concert. Boston. They sucked live.

Kina Grannis, just her, her guitar and a basist, last february. I prefer the small scale concerts, without all the theatrics and drama, and light shows. =] 

Oz fest 06

I’ve only been to two and from that, the best one has to be at the Korean festival!

I’ve been to a couple: Warped Tour 04′, Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark Tour with Lupe Fiasco & N.E.R.D, in 2008, Kid Cudi in 2011 and Watch The Throne in 2011. My best ever concert experiences out of those 4 were definitely the Glow in the Dark Tour and Watch The Throne. Kanye West really knows how to get the crowd going at a concert. The story behind the Glow in the Dark tour was very well thought out and the music was amazing! Lupe Fiasco & N.E.R.D were also fantastic! Watch The Throne was a huge surprise because my boyfriend bought me those tickets as an early Christmas present and boy was I excited! The performance started 2 hours and thirty minutes after it was scheduled but if Hov & Ye started their performance at 7 then we’d be out at like 10 maybe even earlier. So they started at 9:30 and we left at 12:30 and it was a mind blowing experience!! All the lights and the song selection and how they went from Hov performing alone to Ye performing alone and then they’d join and do a set together. The last half hour was all about free styling and it was fucking awesome! It was AMAZING! If I could go to another Jay-Z and Kanye West concert, I would definitely go! I want to go see Foster the People and Two Door Cinema Club next.
