The last concert I went to was indoors. I went with a couple of guys from work to see The Misfits. We got there early so we would be at the front of the line so we could be in the front row. I guess where you would say where all the action was. The whole time during the concert I was pretty much fighting the whole time to keep my spot. It was so hot too. Sometimes during the concert one of the people of the misfits would spray people with water. And it felt so good. At the end of the concert my ears were ringing. And have been for a couple days after. One of the people I went with were smart enough to bring ear plugs. And also the following day I body was so sore. But I had a good time. It was my first experience, and probably my last, that close up.

Live music is still one of my favorite things to do. These days it's mostly smaller clubs and venues (ranging from 200 people to theaters with 2000), because the musicians are lesser known or up-and-coming acts. But I have also been to a number of big concerts as well. I saw Bruce Springsteen play at Giants Stadium in New Jersey in October, and in the past have seen a number of shows at Madison Square Garden- Springsteen, R.E.M., the Rolling Stones, and The Who. The Allman Brothers Band plays a string of shows in NYC every spring and that's become an annual ritual with me and a few of my friends.

Yeah,it's been many years since I've been to a concert.If I could go to one now,I don't know who I would want to go see.I like singers from the past,I don't care for up to date singers.I couldn't even name an up to date singer.I don't know any.

I used to go to concerts all of the time. At the local fairground they have an ampitheater and my friends and I would buy lawn seats. Tickets were like $15/each and we would all go hang out together. We mostly saw country music acts. I have seen Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, Charlie Daniels Band and several others. Recently there hasn't been that many concerts there so I have not been in a few years.

A friend and I had been to a concert in 2004. It was called I-rock short for independence-rock. This concert usually is aroung august 15th ,the Indian independence day. It was the first big live concert I had been to, and I was kind of amused to see people head banging and all that. There is something about live music. It draws you in. You often like songs you would otherwise not like in live concerts.

I LOVE going to concerts. When I was in middle and high school, I went to local (or myspace-famous) metal/hardcore and just other rock band concerts almost every weekend. My first concert ever was the Warped Tour right after I turned 13. ^o^ Last year, I got to see The Killers, and that was a REALLY fantastic concert. I'm going to see my favorite band ever, AFI, in concert for the first time in a couple days- I am unbelieveably excited!!! w

I would just recommend bringing earplugs to no matter what concert you go to!

You are so right! When I went to see Chicago, their music was so loud we couldn't hear right for an entire week! Earplugs should definitely be used!

I love concerts! Let's see... The bands I've seen on stage are - Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Twisted Sister, Wasp, Heaven and Hell, Iron Maiden, Joe Lynn Turner, Graham Bonnet(with Alcatraz), Jeff Scot Soto, Destruction, Pain, Saxon, Lenny Kravitz and others. These are only the most famous one! And because you ask for details, I'll try to make something like TOP for these concerts. It will be based on what was the show really! I'm not gonna use my own music taste here. So maybe it is like that: 13. Jeff Scot Soto 12. Pain 11. Destruction 10. Saxon 09. Graham Bonnet feat. Alcatraz 08. Joe Lynn Turner 07. W.A.S.P. 06. Lenny Kravitz 05. Twisted Sister 04 Iron Maiden 03. Heaven and Hell 02. Black Sabbtath with Ozzy Osbourne 01. KISS You should know that this is based only on live performance! And this is the TOP of the concerts I've been to.

Last concert I went to was Nine Inch Nails, Lights In The Sky. I loved it, except for the fact that we had really crappy seats. Id have to say though, my all time favorite concert was Rage Against The Machine. I love the band, but its not my favorite concert because of the music. It's my favorite concert cause of the atmosphere they had. The City removed stuff from the streets and chained down everything else. They had Riot police in the streets, it was was like a whole different world. No riots broke out that night, but the police were not taking any chances. Bike cops, mounted cops, shield carrying riot cops, the list can go on.

I went to see Van Helan years ago. I was real close to the speakers. My taste has changed too. Our church is planing a trip to a gospel concert called the Winter Jam. We taking the youth. I am looking forward to it. We took them to a Monster Truck rally and they had a great time. Have a great day.

I've been to a few concerts. They were small ones with about 100-200 people in the audience. I was taken by friends to these concerts so I didn't know the singers' songs very well but it was still very good.

At this moment I have not gone to anything yet especially concerts. the last time I attended one that was 3 years ago. The concert were consist of five bands who are not exactly famous you can call them underground band. But the moment the guitar performed a tuned everything in the house broke loose. I like that certain kind of raw excitement emanating from the crowd. The kind that your spirit soars up in the sky with the rest of the audience. When the music blow up everything just happen in quick motion. Actually it's draining yet satisfying concert and the best ever for me. I love the underground music not overly saturated.

The last concert that I saw was in September of 2009 and I went and saw Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert at the minor league baseball venue here in Lexington. A year before that I went to Cincinnati and saw Toby Keith and Montgomery Gentry at Riverbend Music Center. I've also seen Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Trick Pony and The Backstreet Boys. Oh, and one other concert that I've been to was Alan Jackson. I'm a huge fan of music and most specifically country music so I try to make it to every concert that I can.

I love going to concerts! I remember my first one, which was Sloan (with Thrush Hermit and Elevator to Hell opening), all from eastern Canada. Since then I've been to concerts by The Tea Party (also Canadian, though broken up now), BB King (awesome!), Deep Purple, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails (loved it!), Tori Amos (she's amazing!) and the latest was Tarja (formerly of Nightwish, on her solo tour, great concert!). Many different styles of music, as you can see. I guess my tastes are pretty eclectic...

Earlier this year I saw The Wallflowers live. And last year was a great concert year for me because I saw most of my favorites live. I saw Morrissey in March of last year, Bruce Springsteen in May and then Bob Dylan during the summertime in July and Willie Nelson was also playing and that was really awesome. John Mellencamp played too, but I don't like him at all and I really could have done without seeing him live. I'd love to see Morrissey again live because I want to be closer to the stage than where I was last time, I'd like to be in the front row for when I see Morrissey live and I hope I can get another chance to do that. When I saw Bob Dylan we were right up front, but the stage was high up and I'm short so that was sort of a problem ahaha.
