Concerts- How many have you been to?

I've never been to a concert, but I just got a call from a friend that Bright Eyes is coming! So I got tickets immediately, and I am so excited I can hardly bare it.

What concerts have you been to, and how many?

I've been to one concert, a long time ago. It was okay. In general, I don't care for live events. All the effort to get there, and I don't get much more out of it than if I'd just watched at home or at a sports bar. That goes for sporting events that I am into, and I'm not that much into music.

I love Bright Eyes. I heard they are great live, too. I've been to a few: Staind, Breaking Benjamen, Hootie and the Blowfish, Billy Corgan, Taking Back Sunday and Jimmy Eat World.BreakTheseLinks

Ive been to like 8 the biggest ones bieng Bamboozle Left and Warped Tour 09

I don't remember how many concerts I have been to, but it has to be close to 100 or so. I went to 6 in 2008 alone. I also went to one race that year (actually it was 2 races on the same day).

Been to 3 in my life.. so far.

I Went to Jon lajoie (youtube guy, it was pretty good lol)

AC/DC. Very good.

and finally Ozzy **** Osbourne. Best concert of my life, unless Pink floyd does another show.

Played a bunch of Sabbath songs, like "Fairies wear boots" and "Electric Funeral" plus the popular one's of course. He had like 4 encores it was insane...

i like bright eyes. i have been to seeing billy idol, vampire weekend, and ween.

One. It was pretty cool. Nobody I like ever comes to my town.Theokhoth

Actually, I think I've been to a couple. I forgot. But I don't know if I can count them, they were just small events at my fair.

It was Styx, and David Lee Roth as well.

I've been to two concerts. One was a concert with a bunch of 80s bands like Flock of Seagulls and Dramrama, there were three other bands but I don't remember who they were. I didn't really care for the bands, my cousin invited me and I thought; what the heck why not.

My second concert I went to see Dinosaur Jr. and they rocked. The opening band were some dudes from Australia, followed by Lou Barlow + The Missing Men.

Too many to count or remember.LJS9502_basic

Depends on what you would consider a concert.

For big concerts, I've been to:

Bowfire, at Citrus College

The Long Beach Symphony Orchestra

Hillsong Live (3 times-- I think in 2001, 2002 or 2003, and 2010). The 2001 and 2002 concerts I went to were at a church, the 2010 was at Club Nokia at LA Live in Los Angeles. Hillsong is a Christian music group from Australia that has contemporary Christian music.

Hillsong United (Hillsong's youth band). I saw them in 2004 at a church and I'm going on March 1 to their concert at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Reuben Morgan-- the worship pastor of the main Hillsong church in Australia-- he came with his own band in 2005.

Only 3. :(

8 concerts when I lived in California. Now that I live smack-dab in the middle of nowhere there are no concerts to go to! :( (Lincoln, NE)

More or less than your post count?

I've lost count. I'd say 50-75. I try to go to at least one concert per month. It's been my resolution for 2010, and I took it for 2011 too :)

I've got Robyn lined up on the 27th of January and Emilie Autumn on Feb. 15. Maybe Wire in April too.

I feel out of the music loop.

Haha I only know a few of the bands all of you have mentioned.

Two, Weird Al and Rod Stewart because they're the only ones that have had shows at any reasonable distance from where I live. This July though I'm going to see Iron Maiden in Gothenburg since the date is lined up perfectly with my trip to Sweden.

I've been to many. At least 10 in 2010 alone.

I've been to quite a few over the years. Most recent one I attended was back in May. Two days, 38 bands. Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio. Awesome time.

Kudos for going to a Bright Eyes concert. He must be great live.

I've only been to one, and it was a band I've never listen to in my entire life. It was still fun though. I really need to see more.

lol yeah, me and my best friend at the time went on a tear after high school. cleveland has a fun metal scene though so i got to see a lot of great local shows from bands like ringworm, keelhaul and integrity regularly.

One, and unfortunately it was Green Day. My girlfriend of the time got the tickets and asked me to go. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't go again.

I've also seen Dave Wilcox perform at a town fair, and have been part of a band for a couple 'battle of the bands'.

I've only been to 6, and only 2 of them were really great:

Bob Dylan/Willy Nelson - pretty good show

Journey/Heart - Journey was great, Heart sucked

Children of Bodom/Skeletonwitch/Black Dahlia Murder - went with friends, didn't really care for the bands. Had fun though.

Ensiferum/Ex Deo/Blackguard/Urn (was supposed to be Hypocrisy instead of Urn. :x) - Great show even if Hypocrisy wasn't there.

Three Days Grace/Adelita's Way/Chevelle - meh, went with friend's again. Three Days Grace put on a good show I guess.

Porcupine Tree/Bigelf - ****ing incredible.

I have seen at least 20 concerts. My favorites have been

Rush

High On Fire

Umphreys Mcgee 4 times...5 times on jan 28th

Iron Maiden!

AC/DC

Janes Addiction

Nine Inch Nails

Stone Temple Pilots
