Live Music

This is a real blast from the past for me. I haven't gone to concerts in ages, but my all time biggie remembrance one was when I went to the 1976 Rolling Stones concert in Madison Square Garden. Mike Jagger was still in his prime then, though I've seen clips of the Stones in recent concerts and he can still strut his stuff pretty well even nowadays..LOL

Good evening, dear zigzag buddha. I love to see live entertainment performance as it is so live and often I can get greatly affected by their performance as to like some of the singers that I seldom listen to their songs or music. Usually after a live concert, I would become their fans. By the way, I just respond to this discussion based on my own feeling without considering too much of the questions mentioned above as I am a person easy to like songs after a live concert or performance. lol. Good night, friend.

The very best concert I ever went to was one that my very special friend did in 2002, he was a teenage idol in his younger days I was his biggest fan and now a very special friend and he was doing a reunion show with his fellow singing partner, they literally brought the house down, I was selling CD's for him in the foyer, money was being thrown at me from every direction, a man had to come and help me, my precious friend passed away one week later, this is the show I will never forget...

I've been to some concerts held here in my country, consists of local bands and rockers. I love the 90's music scene here, I always watch my favorite bands whenever I can. I was even lucky that time, since I always get free tickets. I win them through raffle, as I'm glad my class adviser would always choose me in favor of others since they thought I could be a musician someday!LoL I haven't been to any worst concert yet, since there are times that I leave the place whenever I find the performers are boring!;)

Hi zigzag, my Dad wrote poetry when he was alive. A friend of his set music to his lines. They put together a band of singers and musicians and moved from place to place giving shows. Those were the only shows I ever attended as a child. Did I enjoy them? Well, I can't say they did. In those days, books were my best friends, and everything else made me feel lonely. Right now, I am a sort of recluse. I detest stepping out of home and do it only if it is absolutely necessary. So, I am sorry I don't have any experience of concert/live performance to share. As for festivals, I could never enjoy Christmas. I don't why, but there was just too much to eat, and I never had any appetite. I simply hated the idea of so many pigs and hens dying just because Jesus was born. I am not a vegetarian, so I don't know why I felt like that. I used to enjoy the Nativity of our Lady. Why? I don't know. We have a tradition of cooking an odd number of vegetarian dishes on that day. We collect flowers from our gardens and offer it to the Lady. It is a sort of harvest feast plus religious affair. I loved the loads of sugarcane around and the tradition of powdering the first grains of the year, mixing it with rice, and drinking it after the midday prayers. Those were the days when I was a kid. My father was an atheist and so was my grandfather; they would get together and discuss the foolishness of Christianity. While they were doing that, the women would be cooking in the kitchen, and I would be with the women, not the men.:) I don't celebrate any feast now, not even my birthday. Cheers and happy mylotting

one of the best concerts I've attended was in 2004, a concert by s.h.e (girl group from taiwan). It was priceless because I get to go to my favourite artiste's concert for the first time- seeing them live and sing along with them, and go crazy! also because i get to go with the person I love the most, so it made the concert more memorable. hmm..dun think i've been to a bad concert before..

Because I love Coldplay, I've seen them in concert three times. One was at the Greek Theater in Berkeley with my brother and sister. Not only did I get to see and hear them for the first time, I was also able to enjoy the whole experience with my siblings. The second one was somewhere far. I think it was about 3 hours away from where I live but I also still have to drive another hour and a half to pick up a friend who went with us and then dropped her off. That was a long driving night (I used to love to drive and would rather drive myself than be driven) but it was well worth it to enjoy the band with Sister, Boyfriend and a very close friend. The third one was somewhere in the South Bay and this time it was with Sister, her friend and Boyfriend. I also enjoyed Fiona Apple's concert in San Francisco. The venue was just a few blocks away from my brother's place so we walked it. Sister bought all three of our tickets as she just wanted to see her no matter how expensive the tickets were (about $100+). Lastly, I surprised Sister with tickets to a Lucinda Williams concert in the city. In my opinion, I think that was the best concert I went to as it was more intimate and Lucinda Williams was just a few hands away.

The great Canadian Barn Dance. That is a wicked show, they use impromptu-ish instruments put together from old farm and ranch equipment. The worst was Default, the bass hurt my head. I enjoyed it more from the Parking Lot, Though I did talk to half the band members with out even realizing it. I think they thought it was neat that I didn't recognize them, I just really liked their song "Wasting my Time" that was a big hit at that time. Cheers.
