Your Top 3 Most Memorable Concerts.

[Oscar-Rio]

self explanatory topic.

3. Seeing KMFDM live for the first time after nearly a decade of listening to and loving their music.

2. Roger Waters concert last summer. Second time seeing roger waters play live. Was also engraved on my mind thanks to some chemical help from Albert Hoffman.

1. Pink Floyd live in London's Hyde Park at Live 8 in 2007. I had planned my trip months in advance to this announcement even being made, and it just happened to work out honky-dory for me. We didn't have tickets to get in but that didn't stop us from accosting many a security personnel in order to find one we could "convince" with money to let us in.

honorable mention: Green Day on their Dookie support tour. First concert i ever went to.

I have yet to go to my first concert, but I am sure when I go to the Prog. Nation tour I will have some memorable moments

3. The Who at Royal Albert Hall, London in 2002. They've always been one of my favourite bands and it was the first time I'd ever seen them. One of the last performances before John Entwistle died aswell.

2. Atheist, Gorguts and Cannibal Corpse in 1992, cant remeber much apart from Atheist stole the show and really badly hurting my knee in the mosh pit. Ouch.

1. Electric Wizard in 2004. Small venue in a remote part of England, plumes of weed smoke in the air and amps cranked up way past 11. I don't think anything can top this for me, awesome show.

you'll never forget it. I can remember just about every moment of the concert when i saw Green Day. And Prog Nation will probably be 100x better than Green Day's first tour was.

The first time that I saw the Ramones at some crappy club in Myrtle Beach. I had been listening to them for years and even had live albums but nothing compares to seeing them in person. It was almost a call to arms.

I saw the Reverend Horton Heat at Rockafellas in Columbia, SC. There were like 20 people there and they still played like there was no tomorrow. The guys in the band said they were playing in Atlanta the next night so I drove to Georgia the next day and went to the Masquerade and saw them play to a packed house of skinheads, greasers, punks, and other assorted misfits. I've been to dozens of punk and thrash concerts but I can't think of any other band that played that fast and that tight.

When I finally got to see Joan Jett after missing several chances to see her over the years, I realized that I still have feelings for her. She still does it like no one else.

Easily my most memorable is this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrzO-...eature=related nothing like a having a riot break out at your first concert. Was 4 years before I was allowed to go to another.

Seeing the Rolling Stones play The Horseshoe Tavern in '94 for 5 bucks! http://archives.cbc.ca/arts_entertai...pics/832-4887/

I dunno about a third , I guess maybe taking my nephew to see Fozzy in 2005, they pulled him up on stage let him play Rich Wards guitar while up on his shoulders and just generally really treated him well. He was around 11 or 12 at the time so it was his first concert experience. He was super excited to be going to a concert and the fact the band was Chris Jericho's band was a bonus since Chris was his favorite wrestler back then. They even got a shot of my nephew in one of their music videos that they filmed that night. He pops up at around 1:11 throwing the "metal horns" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaDc_P6k2Po

There's a general rule in place that if I have a good time at a concert, I don't remember it. Here are the exceptions:

3. This Ascension/Clan of Xymox, Outland, Columbus Ohio, 1998.
This one sticks in my head a lot because Dru (from TA) and I were pretty good friends, and the show was one of the best I've ever seen them perform. And afterwards we went back to the tour bus and got wasted.

2. Fish, Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, UK 2001
This show was memorable because it was an adventure! I was in london on my honeymoon, and my husband HATED fish, marillion, pretty much anything that wasn't goth, industrial, or abba. I pretty much threatened to cut the guy off if we didn't go, so we took the 3 hour (IIRC) road trip up to Wolverhampton. We got very very lost. We drove around for about an hour until we finally gave up. We decided to just park and see the town since we were already here (and had nothing better to do). I see a guy walk by me wearing a marillion t-shirt and I squealed. We ended up hanging out with the guy and his girlfriend, drinking dirty pints of porter, and watching Fish put on a great show!
1. The Mission UK/Gene Loves Jezebel/Mike Peters, Newport, Columbus 1999
Another person I knew LOL. This one sticks out because my friends and I ran into Wayne Hussey during sound check, and we all ran out to get booze and blimpie's. We got him a little drunk (although I suspect it wasn't just us lol), talked about way too much personal stuff (he was going through a divorce), and I proceeded to watch one of my musical idols put on one of the best concerts I've ever seen (from the front row, even, wearing a mission beanie). We hung out back stage afterwards, and I ended up doing shots with Craig Adams and one of the guys from GLJ. Much fun was had, aka best concert ever.

3. Paul McCartney in Tel Aviv
amazing atmosphere, amazing singalong in Hey Jude, some great rock n' roll with great people, a brilliant acoustic set, overall a fantastic concert.

2. Radiohead in Los Angeles (Hollywood Bowl Night 2)
From the opening drum beat of Reckoner (not their usual concert opener) I knew this was going to be something else. Pyramid Song, one of my favourite songs ever, was played early and I was so glad. Talk Show Host brought the house down, Videotape almost made me cry, Thom danced like a madmen in The Gloaming. An amazing power trio of Jigsaw --> The Bends --> The National Anthem. They even threw in a Neil Young cover... and that's just the main set.

And the encores? Planet Telex was just plain awesome, Fake Plastic Trees was purely amazing, and then thom starts singing... F***ING TRUE LOVE WAITS. An epic second encore including Karma Police straight into an insane Idioteque close this perfect night. Even the lack of Paraniod Android and other songs couldn't ruin it.

1. David Gilmour & Rick Wright in Florence
Gilmour is my favourite guitarist ever, and he was absolutely brilliant that night. Every solo was fantastic in every way. Wright RIP played beautifully and sang "Wearing the Inside Out". Pink Floyd classics like Shine On and Astronomy Domine were played perfectly, along with Gilmour's On an Island, which sounded great.

But what's truly amazing about this show was the ending. A fantastic 26 minutes version of Echoes closed the sets - even when the lights broke down, they just kept on playing, and were amazing. Then in the encores I went forward and watched them practically from down the stage, about a meter and a half from Gilmour himself. The second solo in Comfortably Numb was simply breathtaking that night, note perfect, much better then the DVD version. He even hit that big harmonic at the beginning. I wanted it to go on and on. Truly a once in a lifetime sort of thing.
