So, hubby and I went to see Tom Petty last night and while I'm not a huge fan of his, they put on a great show. So, what is your favorite concert?
I'd have to say mine is the Dixie Chicks - I saw them on their tour before the latest one....ah, what amazing performers.
In Seattle, Paige (or was it Brentwood or whatever funky place was where they had the show)? That is too funny. Maybe you helped pass me over the crowd!!!
I just got an email from an old flame from Seattle yesterday (I haven't talked to him in 15 years). Are you there? Maybe you could do some recon work for me (without telling DH...hahahah!).

I'm in Olympia. I'd be happy to do a bit of snooping, lol! I was at the Seattle show. We probably bumped elbows a time or two at the music scene!
Two years ago I surprised DH with 2nd row tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers for his birthday. I can say without a doubt that was a favorite concert for both of us!
Dave Matthews (not the band) & Tim Reynolds, acoustic, early April 2003. Right before I found out that I was pregnant with the Munchkin, actually. Anyway, the music was OUTSTANDING and he played some rarely played songs. And it was just a wonderful night of music. Then he made some crappy solo album and the next band album sucked too and I got jaded with his style. So, that's the climax of my love affair with Dave.

As a teen my favorite concert was AC/DC and I believe Blue Oyster Cult opened for them. I lost some brain cells and hearing that night...1979.
.
NOW WE'RE TALKING!
Best: Springsteen, Stones, Prince, The Cure and The Police (Oh and Bryan Ferry with Roxy Music wow)
I saw Aerosmith but enjoyed the opening act more: FOUR NON BLONDES!!!!!
But until I see Zeppelin I will never be complete. Not likely to happen any time soon :(

I was a grunge babe in Seattle in the early 90s and just went to shows all the time. But the best was a Lollapalooza with Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chile Peppers, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Ice Cube. I got to the front of the stage (before Red Hot Chile Peppers) and was moshing around. Next thing I know, throngs of people come rushing forward and I pass out and get "passed over" the crowd to a safe zone (what a l.oser!).
I just saw Pearl Jam again a few weeks ago. Eddie Vetter is the hottest.
My biggest regret? I have yet to see Neil Young live. I want to desperately.
I love Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder. I used to belong to a mailing list his firstmom is a member of, she is SO proud of him!
Belle, I had no idea Eddie Vetter was an adoptee. Geez....I picked the wrong adoptee to marry (Eddie was hot for me in the early 90s.....hahahahahh!).
He was just on a solo tour...I had tix but couldn't go because I was traveling. I was so flipping annoyed! He has the most beautiful song out now called No More (War). Needless to say, not only is he hot but his politics are up my alley as well.
Stormster, you don't need to see LZ live...just watch Song Remains the Same over and over and over (I used to! heehee!). Btw, I am a monster Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry fan but never saw them live...I bet it was great.
Jenna, I was visiting Chicago and there was a big controversy that Dave Matthews' tour bus dumped its "toilet" in Lake Michigan (or maybe one of the rivers, I forget). I can't listen to him anymore because I dunno...all the songs sound alike to me now for some reason.

Ugh THAT is such a turn off!
Love, I do watch it: over and over and over. I also have every Robert Plant solo CD including his new blue grass stuff. It's beyond loving him. I want to BE him. Even the old man him!
And Roxy Music: Summer night, Beacon theater in NY (early nineties I guess) and third row center. Best atmosphere ever. It was very romantic lighting and fans blowing it was just magic.
And I just want to add when I saw Prince I had Whitney Houston next to me (literally) with Bobby Brown next to her and she was singing Purple Rain. Like in my ear. And Madonna was right in front of me (I remember her hair was very damaged LOL)
Can you tell I used to date a rock and roll publicist?
I have such wonderful memories of concerts that I had forgotten. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread!

Dixie chicks were awesome when I saw their top of the world concert - so good.
That is the one we went to!!! My GRANDMOTHER bought the tickets and she bought 3 so that I could invite a friend. We loved it!!
She then bought tickets to Bette Midler!!!!! I told her that there was going to be some language and that didn't bother her at all!!
Going to see Candlebox in a few weeks up in New Hampshire!! :rockband:
I want, want, want to go and see Alannis in Boston next month.
I saw Pink a few years ago with a coworker and her daughter, really surprised a lot of people when Steve Taylor walked onstage to sing a song with her.

I saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Paige together and it was great. I LOVE Robert Plant even if he is getting old. LOL
So I'm late on this one.
I saw the Dixie Chicks Top of the World Concer too, it was great. I saw the Police last year they were good (although they just kind of stood there and sang) but really anything is boring compared to THE BEST CONCERT EVER... that would be U2 :rockband: !

S WHERE DID YOU SEE THEM????
Stormster--I saw them in Indy in the early 90's. It was at Maarket Square Arena which is no longer here. We had a great time and they were fabulous. The only thing that bothered me was there were people there with their infants and back then there was smoking--so the cigarette and pot smoke was quite thick. Not to mention the loud music!! The poor babies ears.
OH---Robert Plant---:evilgrin:

One of the first major "dates" D/H took me on (that cost more than $5.00 and didn't involve fries or popcorn) was to a Prince concert. This was 20+ years ago during the Purple Rain tour; I was a college student home for the summer. I went out and bought a purple cat suit to wear with my car note money, got these black leather thigh-high boots IN THE SUMMER with silver heels ah la Prince style and a 4 foot hairdo! I had a tube of "mood lipstick" in purple, of course. Prince was awesome...:prop: :prop: I swore I'd name my next kid Prince, or Dove, or Darling Nikki, or Morris Day! :rockband: The next day I ran out of my parents house late to head out to my summer job at Mervyns only to find the Repo man towing my car down the street. Not only did my now D/H give me a ride to work but he loaned me the $210.00 to get my car back without telling my parents! Thats why I married him. Tracy
Tracy you keep surprising me! That was the same tour where I sat next to Whitney and Bobby! I think it was Radio City Music Hall in NYC. Pretty racy stuff at the time wasn't it?!
Your D/H sounds awesome. All that and he still liked you after the hair and the mood lipstick! Wow :grouphug:
Love IS blind!
