Today, I just saw P.O.D. play live in front of around 20,000 Charger fans at Qualcomm Stadium's parking lot in San Diego. They are San Diegans and are huge Charger fans, which is what led them to offer to play for free at the San Diego Chargers' rally. They are excellent live, and the atmosphere was electric - I spent a good deal of time in the mosh pit, and moshing with gang members and football players is a lot rougher than moshing with skinny little "hardcore" kids, but even more fun. POD played the following songs: Southtown, Lights Out, Alive, Set It Off, Youth of the Nation, Without Jah Nothin, an older song that I didn't know, and the new Chargers' fight song which can be heard at http://blog.chargers.com. That's both the last and the best concert I have seen. What's yours?

Ok...most recent concert was KENNY CHESNEY! Of course, it was awesome, he's a great performer and I LOVE his music. My favorite...probably back in the day when I was in love with *NSYNC. (NO poking fun please!) AT on particular concert (there were too many to count!) My friends and I were 2nd row center! Destiny's Child was opening and I caught one of the roses they threw out, and they even said something on stage about how i was really gettin into the music and dancing! And then, of course i loved *NSYNC. This concert was one where they flew overhead, and at one point JUSTIN was stopped right over the top of me and for what felt like an eternity our eyes were locked and we shared a HUGE smile! LOL it's corny now i know but at the time i was psyched! that made my year!

The best concert I've been to was for the Dillinger Escape Plan. This moshpit was INTENSE. I've been to a lot of different shows, and I've seen some intense stuff... but nothing compares to Dillinger. It was at a small comedy club with a small amount of people... but it was pretty crazy. I came out of there with a bunch of bruises and cuts, but I had a blast. If you've ever heard The Dillinger Escape Plan then you would know how intense their music was and you might have an idea of how intense they would be on stage, not only that... their music is crazy hard to play. At one point the singer filled his mouth with Vodka or some kind of licquer, and came down into the moshpit and had a torch with him. He got people to back up a meter or two and he started breathing fire meteres from us. I don't know what it is, but fire just seemed to set the ambiance of an already crazy night. That was my last show and both times I saw them live, they were the best I've ever seen.

I have some Dillinger Escape Plan on my iPod, and they are INSANE. I'd imagine their pits are insane just judging by their music - my favorite song of theirs is "The Mullet Burden" - I think that's what it's called but I forgot.

They played that song live, it was so friggin good hahah. The audience did the one part where it stops for a second and the girl screams. They also did Calculating Infinity and Clip The Apex. I could probably recall the whole setlist if your interested.

My best concert I had attended was Don Moen concert and that was also the last concert I've ever watch. I dont use to go to concert unless I'am very interested on the singer. I think Don Moen concert was the best concert I've ever watch.

Mine had P.O.D. as openers! It was a concedrt a few years ago, Story of the Year, P.O.D., and Hoobastnak opened for my favorite band, Linkin Park. You're right, P.O.D. are great live. So are Hoobastank and Linkin Park. It was lots of fun. And very loud lol.

The absolute BEST concert ever. Was Country Fest '97 in Fort Worth TX. It included Jodie Messina, Travis Tritt, Brian White, Vince Gill, Charlie Daniels, Neil McCoy, Hank Williams Jr, and Wynona Judd just to name a few. They were all awesome performances. It was hotter than heck, my buddy and I suffered through it (we would set bags of ice on top of our head just to stay cool) only because the music kicked @**. My wife says that the best concert ever she went to was Sawyer Brown at the KS State Fair several years ago. Terri Clark was suppose to perform but had come down sick. Sawyer Brown played non stop for about 3-1/2 hours. It was hot and muggy but man the music was awesome. Its no wonder that Sawyer Brown is one of her favorite music groups.

The last concert I went to was Kenny Chesney. I saw him at Hienz Field in Pittsburgh. It was one of the best one's I've been to also. I used to go to a lot of concerts when I was younger, but that's when they were affordable.

The last concert that I went to was when I was in college and the bands that I saw were Vixen, Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers and Jude Cole. I know Vixen broke up not too long after but do not know what happened to the other group and singer. It was a great concert and was up close so I got a good view and enjoyed it very much. I wish that it had lasted longer. Vixen was great and was sad when they broke up.

Actually, the last concert that I went to was one of the best in 2006, Bob Seger. The best concert That I've been to was Emerson, lake & Palmer in 1978. Even though for some reason they didn't do "welcome back my friends" and keith Emerson's organ that he throws around at the end wasn't working, it was the best ELP concert I've been to. Carl Palmer had an awsome awsome drum solo.

My last concert was some punk band, The Kids, nobody knows them, only some people from Belgium probably :). And before that it was Oasis, in Brussels, they are so big. That was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. It was a sort of best of playlist and they are using almost the same every night of that tour but still it was great!

Well, its hard to say for me, last may I saw Korn live, but they had Hatebreed and disturbed as support so that was pretty awesome. Also Slipknot went off as did System of a down when they came out. But....... definetly Korn, it was outside in the fresh air and it was massive, and SO loud.

i remember going to my first concert back in 2004 when i saw g-unit performing on the stage. i thought it was really coo and fun i enjoyed it because it was the first time i was there and there were a lot of students on campus going to the concert. it took place at NIU at the basketball stadium. in the beginning it was bumping and fun, after a while i was getting tired because it was getting late and of course the music started makeing me a little sleepy but it was ok and i didn't mind. but at least i had a good time and after the concert, i went to an after party at someone house. but i had a great night and i still think about it all the time.

Awesome topic. The last concert I seen was Aerosmith when they played at the PNC Center here in NJ. I am still hard of hearing, but I will learn to read lips, because it was well worth it. Its a shame now whats happened to steven tyler, but hopefully they will be back soon.

I had a friend 10yrs ago (whenI was in the 7th grade) that knew them or was friends with these guys. I had one of their first singles but ended up giving it to my neice. She still has it. For the longest time I've been trying to figure out what POD stands for! I used to know but I can't remember! Does anyone know? everytime I hear POD It bothers me for the longest because I can't remember what it stands for!

I haven't been to a whole lot of concerts. The Oak Ridge Boys were the last and the best. I have seen KISS, ARS, ZZ Top, and a few others. They were all pretty good, esp KISS. I didn't care for ZZ Top though. I just went as a favor to a friend.

It must have been a long time since I enjoyed attending concerts. One of my sister in law lives in San Diego, my nephew is about your age, perhaps they saw that one too. The last concert I attended was a flak rock and country performed by several bands, It was a Music Festival, I was part of the organizers and it was done in an open space park at an athletic bowl, people needs to wear their tickets while inside and they all stand and scatter at the wide field, viewing an elevated stage. That was a great show. Today I am again part of a dance Drama intertwined with Fashion Show, It will be shown on April 18,2007 here at the Philippine Cultural Center. This one is a Multi-Media Show, If you are here in the Philippines, I wish you could see that one for a change.

The last concert I went to was The Dixie Chicks last year. Great show, amazing sound (instrumentation.) The best concert I went too would probably be the second time I saw Garbage live. I was on the floor in the second row, and it was absolutely mind blowing amazing. The first time I had seen them live was at a music festival, so it was a lot shorter and I was quite a far way back too. So, to be second row for quite possibly the last concert tour of my favourite band who I have adored since the 90s was pretty special. Adding into the equation of the whole making eye contact with Shirley... I just don't think I'll probably ever top that concert experience.
