What bands/artists have you seen live?

[Boris]

Saturday morning cartoons don't quite have the zing they did back in 1995, so here I am conducting this exercise to basically test BRTD's memory and patience! I only included artists who tour (at least) nationally.

(sorted by total number of last.fm plays for sh**ts and giggles, why not)

Iron Maiden (114,109,324)
Blind Guardian (39,866,478)
Infected Mushroom (27,190,156)
Van Halen (24,802,943)
Skrillex (22,194,428)
Symphony X (10,674,903)
Benny Benassi (9,592,040)
Leaves' Eyes (7,258,265)
Pretty Lights (7,006,561)
Chiddy Bang (6,506,920)
Diplo (3,025,636)
Umphrey's McGee (2,697,278)
El Ten Eleven (2,232,192)
Wolfgang Gartner (1,664,829)
Afrojack (1,496,084)
Yonder Mountain String Band (1,355,114)
Morgan Page (1,199,553)
Mimosa (787,777)
Big Gigantic (600,177)
Sanctity (450,890)
Flux Pavilion (354,991)
3LAU (330,100)
Echoes of Eternity (321,927)
NERVO (106,915)

I've also attended Day Glow (America's largest paint party!^TM) but I don't think the DJ they had in Champaign-Urbana was anyone special.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

-Arlo Guthrie (2012)
-ACDC (2009-sucked)
-Kenny Rodgers (2002-meh)
-Vince Gill (2002-sucked)

I don't go to a lot of concerts...the first two were for my grandma's 60th birthday.

Very much so. I'm particularly jealous that you got to see the Silver Jews before Berman retired.

My list off the top of my head, and in no particular order -

St. Vincent
Bon Iver

& a bunch of random things at festivals or whatever.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I don't go to many concerts. I've seen:

Boris
Chimaira
Death Angel
Testament

[fezzyfestoon]

Bruce Springsteen
Rooney
Fountains of Wayne
Common
Queen Latifah
Joe Jonas
Foo Fighters

Can't remember who else. I'm not a huge live music fan for some reason. Maybe it's just because I have yet to see anyone I actually LOVE and want to go see live. Not that they weren't great shows by some great artists, but nothing was really over the top enjoyable. Except Bruce, that's always a ridiculous time. I was gonna go see Rizzle Kicks, one of my favorites for the last few years now, in Belfast last summer just before they were getting really big. Huge mistake not going.

How do you guys have such long lists?

1-I'm an old. (by forum standards)
2-I've been part of "the scene" for over a decade.
3-I live in a major city.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

How do you guys have such long lists?

All of my bands with (2012) after them were all in one day.

[Gustaf]

Leonard Cohen
The Cardigans
Alice Babs

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

BRTD, how much do concert tickets cost where you live?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I have never heard of a single one of BRTD's listed bands...

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I have never heard of a single one of BRTD's listed bands...

I've heard of at least 10 of them.

BRTD, how much do concert tickets cost where you live?

The ones that I go to range $5-20. I think $17 or $18 is the most I've ever spent (not counting fests obviously.)

Keep in mind a lot of those are just local bands or smaller bands touring with a much bigger one. There are a few shows I've gone just for the openers though.

If Disembodied isn't one of them that's quite sad because they wrote the book that so many of your favorite bands rip off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgH-sSn7Nz4

Same with Harvest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyMJSWMshgY
