incubus/hoobastank in 2001, i think.

horrific, i know.
some friends and i bought tickets on a whim (we didn't even have the albums they were touring) about 2 days before the show. the whole balcony was almost entirely empty and most everyone left while they were still playing, including us.

 

[Axver]

U2, 24 May 2005, Boston.

 

[impy13]

Mads, there's nothing wrong with Incubus. I caught em in Dallas on the Crow tour and it was awesome. Despite their latest album, they're a pretty damn good band.

Hoobastank is a completely different story...

Neil Diamond!!! I was about 8 and my mom had an extra ticket and no babysitter, so along I went. My mom was a huge fan, so I was stanging there on my chair BELTING out so many of the songs, since I knew them by heart.

LOL...I've caught Neil 3 times...all in the 80s. My Mother was also a huge fan!! She used to drag the whole family along.

But hey, for those who are laughing, Neil Diamond puts on an awesome show!
