... Angel, when did you see Midnight Oil? I am really mad at myself for not going to see them in Vancouver when they were there recently.

Hey! I saw them at 'Another Roadside Attraction' way back when. On the same bill that night was 54-40, Hothouse Flowers, Midnight Oil, The Tragically Hip (and in that order! lol)
You reminded me of the Commonwealth Games free show of Jann Arden! Gotta add her to my list!

--->Sicy! What's with the Creed ticket stub? I am going to assume you went to see Fuel for that one.

I must say you've seen some sweet shows.

 

[Sicy]

No Creed.. I swear @!! My boyfriend dragged me.. and yes FUEL kicked ass!!

Also keep in mind that was like 5 years ago!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

and when i saw dc talk, three bands (yeah, three) opened up for them. can't remember the names of any of them, but group #2 was like the spice girls. it was all very scary.

[Mirrorball Man]

I think nearly all the bands I've seen have been mentioned except for The Sisters of Mercy, who I've seen three times and are my favourite out of all of them. If they ever come round your way then go see them. You don't need a reason.

[Diamond The U2 Patriot]

Dano-
Thanks, I was real lucky having a cool older brother connected to the industry.

Mirror-
You're right.
Sisters of Mercy are great.
Always wanted to see them. I like "This Corrosion".
Do they still tour?

Diamond

 

[Naya]

Besides seeing PopMart and Elevation, the only other concert I have been to is the Rolling Stones' "Voodoo Lounge" tour in 1994.

 

[elevatedmole]

First concert ever was the Goo Goo Dolls and the Gin Blossoms. I hated it.

I was convinced I did not like concerts until I went to my second concert ever, U2, Minneapolis, 2001.

Prince twice (2001) in June.. Willie Nelson (he was actually pretty damn good for who he is! I can see why Bono likes him a lot) in October 2001, and Area:One on July 26 2001. (Area:One is a festival, if you didn't know, organized by Moby) At Area:One I saw Incubus, Nelly Furtado, the Roots, Moby, and OutKast. They were all great, except Incubus -- they were kind of OK. But Incubus played a REALLY funny version of Like A Virgin -- even though I'm not a Madonna fan, I laughed SO hard!

He pulled off such a funny version. Unfortunately Incubus chose to play more atmospheric songs and ones without much singing (I think, it was quite a while ago) and they didn't go over magnificently well.

"Very strange looking object you have at the end of your stick.." - Bono

"Bono looks too intense for me." - Rollercoaster Tycoon park guest

"I was drunk, high on him, a shrinking, shadowboxing dwarf following in his foosteps...badly...STARSTRUCK.." - Bono, on meeting Frank Sinatra for the first time

"Bono? Bono is going to tie ropes around my neck? Wait a minute.." - Edge, when shooting the 'Numb' video
