What Bands Have You Seen in Concert? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2195)   ranked 120 out of 9,002 in listening to music1 year ago

A fellow mylotter started a discussion about what your favorite concert venue (outdoors, indoors, etc) and that made me think of all the bands I have seen in concert and perform live.

Here is a short list of bands I've seen:
Simon & Garfunkle (that was my first concert ever I went to as a kid with my dad)
Beastie Boys
Barenaked Ladies, Guster
Tom Petty (hands down still the best concert I've ever gone to)
Phish
KC and the Sunshine Band, Wild Cherry
P Funk
Cowboy Junkies
Emmy Lou Harris
Buzz Poets, Rusted Root, and hundreds of other local Pittsburgh bands
Less Than Jake

Here are some bands I would like to see live someday:
Tori Amos
James Taylor
U2

I know I've seen many, many more but these are the only ones I remember!

What about you? What concerts have you been to? Are there any bands you would like to see live someday?

I havent gone to alot but i've seen James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Statler Brothers, Oakridge Boys, Rod Stewart, Gordon Lightfoot, Carol King and a few others that my parents took me to as a kid. also the Moody Blues. I wanted to see the Eagles this summer but the tickets were like astronomical. Kenny G. I wanted to see also. I'm not sure why I missed that one.


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2195)   ranked 120 out of 9,002 in listening to music  1 year ago

Those are lots of good ones I would've liked to have seen! I love the Moody Blues!

I've only seen two bands in concert...KISS, and Queensryche. But I've seen KISS 4 times and Queensryche twice. If you count the bands that opened for them...I can't remember all of them...then I've also seen Ted Nugent, Slaughter, Danger Danger, and Verve Pipe(I think that's spelled right). I would like to see many others but two bands that are at the top of my list are Iron Maiden and Def Leppard.

Sounds like a really good list! There are a few there I am slightly jealous of. Come to think of it though I think I saw 311 once, but that was a good long time ago, lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. momalisa65 (993)   ranked 401 out of 9,002 in listening to music  1 year ago

Missing Persons?! I remember them! "What are Words For?" I loved that song. It still pops into my head these days and I start singing it. I think it should be my theme song. Lol.
I would have loved to see Boston and Journey!

Hey mom, welcome back, how was your convention? Boston and Journey were incredible.

Wow vera5d, i'm so jealous that you saw Tom Petty in concert. I've been a fan since their first album in the 70's. I absolutely love TP & the Heartbreakers. I went to a lot of concerts in high school and in my 20's, but not so many now. I've seen:
Barenaked Ladies (several times)
Elton John
INXS (AWESOME!)
The Go-Go's
Eddie Money
James Taylor
Barry Manilow (with my parents as a kid)
The Beach Boys
and most recently Hannah Montana and The Jonas Brothers with my daughters (grin)

Concerts have gotten so expensive since I was a teen. I remember we could get lawn seats at outdoor concerts for under $10. Of course now I would want to sit in a seat so I'd pay extra but I can't believe some tickets are in excess of $100. What a great topic to start!


myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2195)   ranked 120 out of 9,002 in listening to music  1 year ago

They have gotten really expensive! INXS is one I am jealous of...Tom Petty though is still the best I've gone to - it was just a great atmosphere and everything else.

You have been to a lot of great concerts, it looks like.
I wish Iron Maiden would come through here, but in Iowa we don't seem to get many great bands.


myLot reputation of 88/100. sconibear (2516)   ranked 1,089 out of 9,002 in listening to music  1 year ago

when i lived in Minnesota, i saw Bon Jovi (Slippery When Wet tour) with Cinderella and Ratt at The Iowa Jam in Des Moines.

I have only been to two concerts. One was ted nugent (I didnt like him my frienddragged me to the concert) I hated it he was very rude and degrading to women. The second was Paul rever and the raiders, about 6 years ago. They were great I loved them.

That is good that you enjoyed one of them! Being dragged somewhere you don't want to go doesn't sound like fun at all!

I saw Def Leppard in concert in 1987 in Denver Colorado. They were my favorite band and it was a great performance. I alo went to a New Kids On the lock concert around about that year. I haven't been to a concert since then. I guess it's because I've been so busy and I haven't put much thought into going to any live concerts. Thanks for the discussion. It sure brought back some happy memories.


Def Leppard

myLot reputation of 95/100. vera5d (2195)   ranked 120 out of 9,002 in listening to music  1 year ago

Wow, it has been a long time since you've been to a concert! I haven't gone to as many since my kids are here and still little, though once in awhile we'll catch a free one at our local park.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (1016)  1 year ago

Yes it's been awhile since I've been to live concerts. I came back to my country 18 years ago and within that 18 years there were only a couple of concerts here. I would love to see Journey in concert. Steve Perry was one of the best singers there ever was. He had such an amazing voice. I heard that a guy from Philipines is the vocalist for Journey now and he sounds just like Steve Perry.
