The song writers are the real ones we need to thank, they are some of the true poets. Originally Posted by travelerman

Boom, i'm with you on 2 Tons. Saw them at a private gig that a local alcohol distributor threw by Pat Maloneys place back when they called themselves the Dead Crickets. OUTSTANDING party!

And OMG yet another reason Im in love with Bailey..

Im NOT the only girl who had a crush on David Bowie lol IJS

I worked as a concert stagehand from '96 to '06 and worked every major tour that came to town, and met most of the artists. I've seen everyone I've ever wanted to see twice, and everyone I never wanted to see 3 times! Live music has always been my addiction. Top 3 shows ever are (1) Earth Wind & Fire in Toronto in '79, (2) Springsteen on the "Darkness on the Edge of Town" tour, and (3) The Allman Brothers (w/ Dickie Betts) at The Backyard in Austin. Shows seen this year include Steely Dan in Austin, BB King at Gruene Hall, and Diana Krall at The Majestic.

In the last year I've seen: One Republic, Rick Springfield, 38 Special, Hinder, and Luke Bryan.

Way too many to name. I did get to meet Joe Elliott of Def Leppard and Klause Meine and Matthias Jabs of Scorpions.

Best concerts ever:
Tom petty
The who
Rhcp (my favorite ever)
Deftones


More recently:
Nin
Korn
Avenged sevenfold
Hollywood undead
Wale
Megadeth

Plans for tonight just fell through the floor (FOR A SECOND TIME!) and missed out seeing KMFDM in Austin.

I've seen and enjoy too many different bands to list...

But as for who Ive seen recently,
I was in Fairfax Virginia this past 4th of July,
eating and sipping wine alone at a restaurant across the street from my hotel. I asked the bartender for any suggestions of what was going on that night.
Turns out there was a huge Free outdoor music fest going on, ended up getting to see a couple great bands, but the best part for me was I got to see Third Eye Blind, And then The B-52's!
Pretty cool seeing how it was totally unexpected! Free is good too lol. Turned out to be a great 4th of July! Originally Posted by Candi Staxx

Damn...KMFDM... brings back memories for sure. If we're going that route, i saw Ministry in 96'.

Bad Religion and Social D have always been a good show to catch.

U2 in '87 and '97 (all time favorite)
Linkin Park with Incubus Aug 2012 (another fav)
Hyper Crush twice last year (met Holly "my crush" Valentine both times)
Social Distortion 2012 (plain awesome!)
Metallica (they rocked)
Rush
Papa Roach
Smashing Pumpkins
Gene loves Jezabel
Def Leppard
Judas Priest
Wiz Khalifa
Sublime with Rome
Cypress Hill
......I'm probably leaving out some.

I was so hoping someone would say Elvis. I was talking with a friend earlier this year and he was telling me, he saw Elvis when he came to louisanna back in the early 70's.

Myself I like the concerts at the rodeo too. You get the rodeo and then a concert.

Depeche Mode "pure energy" that was a wild concert also!

I have a different Elvis story. Years ago, back in Germany. A clerk heard a family discuss their dinner plans which included homemade Texas Chili. The Clerk asked if he could be invited. And that evening a small military family stationed in Germany had Elvis as a dinner guest and yes, he did sing for his supper.
