Concerts thread??

Is there one??

I want there to be one!

Oh look, there is :)

I just wanted to tell everyone that I am off to the Chili Peppers tonite :D 5th row seats...I'm a tad excited...I get excited about shit like this...I'm annoying everyone at work. They always say I am the excitable puppy. :p

What was the last concert you went to?

Are you off to any in the not too distance future??

Oooo. V. exciting Ducks!

Last concert i went to was Regina Spektre in manchester. She was totally awesome. We were right at the front ;)

Have fun ducks! I have never been to a concert before. I'm not sure if they have concerts with the music I usually like.

What music do you usually like Duck?

I mostly like movie soundtracks. My favorite is The bounty by Vangelis. :)

Oh Vangelis. I love Vangelis.

Have you heard his 1492 soundtrack? That comes in a close second on my favorite list.

Yep. Very good. Though my all time favourite was the Bladerunner soundtrack.

Talking of great soundtracks, what did you think of the Vanilla Sky soundtrack?

Oh yes the bladerunner was good. I really liked the love theme track on that one.
I haven't heard Vanilla Sky. I don't even think I've heard of that movie before.

ahem

get a room n get outta my thread :p

heheheh soz Ducks, now what was that you wuz sayin bout a chilli peppah love-in?

As it turns out, I am not going to be seeing Live this Friday at a tiny venue in Lancaster. Huge bummer. Enjoy the RHCP for me.

I haven't been to a concert in a long time, but next Friday I'm going to see the Noisettes at the Troc!

Blue, I've been meaning to ask this for the longest tme....how do you pronounce curacao?

"kur-a-sau"

ahhhh thanks. This whole time I've been thinking it was 'kur-a-kau':P

Well, at least that's a little better than "kur-Ah-ko," the way I've heard some people even in the bar industry pronounce it.

Jesus christ Dana!!!!

BTW, I was pronouncing it in my head that way too :)

Jinx - why arent you going to see LIVE?

I'm just bidding on some Pink tickets.

I'd love to see Pink, but I don't think that'll ever happen, unless I go by myself. :(

My ex bought his kid sister and her mate tickets to see Pink and then ended up having to go along as chaperone because her mum couldn't make it :P

LOL You just reminded me of when I had to chaperone my kid sister for a Corey Hart concert in the '80s. She insisted that we go right up to the front, so when he came on stage, the whole crowd of pre-teen girls rushed up and crushed us against the edge of it. Ow, I still remember the bruises on my ribcage.

Last concert? Phish, Sugarbush 1994.

Been to a few shows in bars, but I consider a "concert" to be 25,000 people outdoors (preferably on a ski slope)...

Damn weiner kids...

OOh Ducks, I am SOOO jealous, I so wanted to see them when they were over here but i couldn't get SOB

Phobic at the Dutch tavern ;)

Dave Matthews band at the tweeter center. actually ,that's the last 2 concerts i've gone to. Kids put a serious crimp in concert going. damn weiner kids is right.

I might be seeing Taylor Daynes this weekend. She is performing at the Phoenix Gay Pride fest.
I can't remember the last concert I saw. I used to go 5-6 times a year when I was younger. Some of my favorites were:

Bette Midler
Billy Joel
Adam Ant
John Denver
Kenny Rogers
Liberace
Anne Murray
PDQ Bach
The Weavers
Peter, Paul and Mary

I'm going to see the Reverend Horton Heat for the 12th time in August here in St. Louis. Prior to that, the last concert I went to was the DMB tour opener here last spring.

Not to mention Diana Ross...what, no CeCe Peniston or Erasure?

ditto that weiner kids comment. (Whatever a weiner kid is.)

Last concert was The Samples, but that doesn't count so much since my brother in law is their drummer. That was last time they were in town. It was cold. Maybe November?

Not counting them, it would have to be The Dead, which was two years ago, I think.

Going to operas doesn't count, right?

Diana Ross sucked. Don't even know who CeCe or Erasure is.

Ooooh. Adam Ant?! I used to lurve the Ants. In fact, the first album I ever bought was the Prince Charming album. *grins* I used to pinch my mum's nivea and paint a white stripe across my nose with it and dance to the Dandy Highwayman. Oh I knew allll the dances off by heart. I bet I could still do 'em:P

Sheldon. Erasure were a really brilliant brit band in the eighties. Unashamedly gay at a time when our government were bringing in the infamous Clause 28 (which prohibited any local authority from 'actively promoting homosexuality'...e.g teachers advising kids who were becoming aware of their gay sexuality, any books or other materials which presented homosexuality as a valid and equally acceptable path etc). The lead singer had an amazing voice and the music was great. Ship of Fools was a brilliant song.

Really?! How can you be gay and not know who Erasure is?! :)

Carlos Santanna, last fall at the Borgata in A.C... Excellent!

I'm back!!!

Shattered and hung over....but had a ball.
Har Mar Superstar were the support act....OMG...fucken funniest thing ever. He got down to his jox as per normal.

Sean had all the girls squealing and the boys boooing their heads off.

RHCP were great, I did expect a little more, but I loved it. The instrumentals made my chest rattle (great feeling) but did go for a LONG time.

High energy, but I must comment on the fact that I didnt feel they engaged the audience...but I have been spoiled by the likes of Robbie Williams :)

I figure it's enough that I have sex with guys. ;)

lol!!!

I was more a fan of OMD and Eurythmics in the 80s.

I'm seeing TV on the Radio and the Noisettes pretty soon. I've seen TVotR before and they were really good, and I'm looking forward to the Noisettes.

The last show I went to was a huge St. Patrick's Day festival with Flogging Molly headlining.

Glad you enjoyed yrself ducks. I not been to a gig for years but the best one i ever went to was The Cramps back in the early 90's. They were just effing mental, it was amazing

OK - Pink tickets are won and paid for....good seats, off to the side of the runway.

Also, got my Gwen Stefani tickets (concert not till August tho)...they are FANTASTIC seats....3 row from the front.

Silverchair and Missy Higgins to go :)

I've only seen Several Species (a (really good!) floyd cover band), Tally Hall (in delaware, and an acoustic set in my basement!), and Yngwie Malmsteen.

BUT

Dragonforce. Taipei. May 22.
I WILL be there.

I've been saving these notes to write a review of the Zappa Plays Zappa show, but since I haven't done it yet, here they are:


Bozzio lyrics
I'm So Cute and Tryin' To Grow a Chin from Sheik Yerbouti
drumming sounds "like a parody of a speed metal band"

the homo-erotic saga of Punky's Whips

Black Page drum solo (as a duet)
followed by the Black Page from Live in New York
with melodic accompaniment from Steve Vai



Napoleon Murphy Brock
hilarious antics on Montana
and Cheepnis:
"I ate a hot dog
It tasted real good
Then I watched a movie
From hollywood"

instrumental masterpiece Peaches En Regalia

bizarre arrangement of Trouble Every Day

keyboard solo

guitar duels

Bozzio solo material from Drawing The Circle
technical difficulties
Bozzio references Family Guy "Trisha Takanawa"

SRV at the Paladeum in LA in the early 80's
The Blues Brothers in Memphis in the late 70's
The Stones in Memphis in the late 90's
George Throgood and the destroyers in a BIG bar in Memphis in the mid 70's ( DAMN he ROCKED that bar !!! The WHOLE place was Jumpin'!!!!! )


I was PAID to go to Barry Manalow with my sister by my mother .

That's what you do when you give antiobiotics to a bovine: cure-a-kow

Bo Diddley is in town in june, hopefully there are tickets left, and Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings are coming in september. Oh, also in june is Roger Chapman & the Shortlist with guests, theSteve Gibbons Band. Eek, I can't afford 2 gigs in 1 month, which one should i go to???

Prior to a year ago, the last concert I went to was Yes, at the Spectrum. My wife and I skipped the last childbirth class for our first kid to go to the concert. The kid is now almost 16. In the last year I've seen Blow Up Hollywood, Eric Clapton, and Joseph Arthur (3 times). Last night we saw Joseph Arthur at the TLA, Stars of Track and Field opened for him.

Last Concert I saw was the Division Bell Tour (Pink Floyd), back in '94. I was probably the youngest person there, being only 6 at the time. I Loves Teh Floyd.

Just saw Iggy pop live... that guy is still going.

I'm off to see PINK tomorrow nite...WOO HOOO.

New fella in tow :)

I meant to come here and say that P!NK would be one of the most awesomest entertainer type people I have seen.

She delivered in every possible way, great costumes, humour, attitude. The crowd, well...the mosh pit needed to be sacked! There was no moshing, there was hardly much action down there at all.

But the look on the enthralled audiences faces were kinda amusing. It was just *wow*.

Pink up on those twirly ribbons, up in a net wearing just an animal print bikini...great stuff.

The company wasnt so bad either (in fact....he was friggin awesome!!).

Trying to make arrangements to go see Dave Mathews in Sept in Florida.

I'm going, never really knew about the band until now (looked em' up since I'm going). My wife's friend has VIP tickets.

Slightly Stoopid, G-Love and Special Sauce

South Florida - Mizner Park Amphitheater, Boca Raton


Slightly Stoopid - sounds a lot like Sublime
G Love - Philly group, heavy blues influence

I just found out today that I am accompanying a single lady friend to see Pat Matheney on the 15th. It is always cool when he comes to town since he is, in fact, from here.

Missy Higgins was great!!!

The date was a frackin' dud, so I ditched him as soon as the concert was over and went back to the hotel and had a spa n some wine.

I have no clue whats wrong with me, thats 2 guys I have been out with and not slept with ???

I'm off to Gwen Stefani tomorrow nite :D

Christina has cancelled her Melbourne concerts due to her pregnancy....sooo glad I didnt get tickets to her!

I am struggling to find a date though.
