Not sure if i'd call this my favorite gig but one of of the most fun was The Darkness with Foxy Shazam as support was an amazing gig.

Had heard of Foxy Shazam before but never actually heard their music so wasn't sure what to expect as a they were support but they sounded amazing and went totally mental in a good way (Keyboardist standing on his keyboard then playing it as the crow held it up, vocalist doing jumps and rolls and stuff). The darkness afterwards was equally amazing as they played every song they should live and just rock out sooo hard which the crowd fed off and made it a lot of fun with a lot of signing and jumping about.

I remember the band name Darkness and can maybe recognize a distinct vocals. Not familiar with Foxy Shazam but anytime the crowd and the band are into it, it does make for a better performance and a good time for sure. Thank you for posting and replying !

Unbelievable.....watching VH1 CLASSICS and a bunch of bands are playing.............THE DARKNESS played a song called ''I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE'' and brought the house down. Not sure if this was this year or last year but i think it used to be called DONNINGTON...MONSTERS OF ROCK where these bands were at.

Best: AC/DC about 3 years ago in Cleveland
Wish: Frank Zappa

Yea, they never lost a beat when Bon Scott passed away as Brian Johnson picked up where Bon left off. I was lucky to have them twice with both vocalists. I'm older ha. Zappa speaks for itself....thanks for posting !

The show was called DOWNLOAD 2011.

Best: Aerosmith, during the Pump tour. I got a thumbs up from Joe for screaming "JOE-FUCKIN'-PERRY!!" during "Back In The Saddle", and he kept playing without missing a beat.

Wish: Rolling Stones, November 27/28, 1969 at Madison Square Garden

...otherwise known as "Get Yer Ya Yas Out"...

Got to see Aerosmith once many years ago at the Richfield Coliseum here in Ohio. Seats weren't good so the sound wasn't either. Can't remember much so..................Had chances to see the Stones but never did. My fault. Thanks for replying !

May 30th 1977 my dad took me to see Led Zeppelin. I was 13.

im currently stalking the NIN tour page. i need to see trent.

also on the list, the cure.

 

[passenger57]

The Who, Cobo arena, Detriot Rock City, summer 1970.
My ears rang for 3 hrs after that show. I was in row 25
center stage. I was 15 yrs old. Can flashback to it like it
was yesterday. "Who's Next" still my favorite Album of all time.

Still have never seen Springsteen (I know) Shame on me.

Damn, your memory is amazing to go back that far and still remember. I was lucky enough to have seen Springsteen here in Ohio at the Richfield Coliseum back in the late 70's i believe. Love his music and the energy he has on stage...even now ! You saw The Who though and not many can say that. Thanks for replying/posting !

*Insert obnoxious hipster comment about how I've seen THOUSANDS of bands here*

I grew up doing nothing but going to concerts and shows, and being a merch girl for all my friends.
Some of my ultimate favorite shows though were:

Morrissey w/ Tiger Army
Coheed & Cambria
The Strokes w/ The Sounds
Bear Vs Shark
The Subhumans
The Groovie Ghoulies
The Eyeliners
Smoking Popes
Agent Orange

It's actually depressing how many shows & concerts I don't remember in the slightest. *smokes another bowl*

Nice list ! MTV's 120 minutes is where i think i heard of The Smiths the very first time. Didn't know then that Morrissey fronted 'em. Smiths were great......Strokes as well and heard a song or two from Agent Orange and liked it. Can't remember the songs. Again, thank goodness for the college fm radio stations here back then as they played every genre of music ! Saw The Subhumans once and the other bands i'm not familiar with. I'll have to You Tube them and check them out. Thanks for posting !

 

[passenger57]

Best was Roger Waters's The Wall tour last year. Would've loved to see Jimi Hendrix.

A couple of big names indeed..............thanks for posting !

The best concert I ever saw is a bit surprising to me, because while I love the band I would never have expected them to be the best ever, and that's the Beastie Boys on the Check Your Head tour on their New Orleans stop. Easily the most crazed out violent and aggressive pit I have ever seen or heard of. And they were really, really on that night. Probably the second best was a Primus show I saw where Buckethead opened for them and they performed the entire Frizzle Fry album (over a decade after it's release). My first time to see Buckethead, and Frizzle Fry has always been my fave Primus album so that was a pretty spectacular night.

Concert I wish I could see? I second the Band of Gypsies era Hendrix with one caveat: it would have to be on one of the nights he was sober enough to actually play his show. In the last year of his life he was pretty hit and miss with that, I know one guy who saw one of his last shows and it was a complete debacle, he asked for his money back after Hendrix was led on stage, mumbled incoherently and couldn't play his guitar while the band tried to hold it together for half a set and then quit. Not the Hendrix I want to remember, even though he was the one who won out over Jimi's better angels in the end.

Sometimes not expecting something turns out better and The Beastie Boys are an example of what you mentioned. Not familiar with Buckethead or Primus. Thanks for posting/replying especially the stuff on Hendrix. Just too bad on what happened !

im currently stalking the NIN tour page. i need to see trent.

Here is the first NIN show I ever saw.

The bar was hot as hell, so hot I could barely stand - the folks at the club were passing out ice and paper towels to us. I heard that someone had stolen the air-conditioning unit from off the roof. NIN was late getting set up & going, so it was just miserable - but the show was pretty killer. I didn't see them again until the Fragile tour - I remember commenting to someone that there were more people in line at the t-shirt booth than had been in the Video Bar in 1990.

 

[passenger57]

Best: Guns N' Roses, 1993 Use Your Illusion tour. Believe it or not they were on time and played for 2.5 hours without drama.

Wish: Led Zeppelin

Looks like they're still touring !

 

[passenger57]

Best Ive seen was probably Pearl Jam , and would give my left nut to have seen the beatles or Hendrex before they left for the great tour in the sky.

Ohhhhhh.....and i can relate to firing it up at the shows too ! There was a couple times i wish i had not gotten so wasted like ''The Sisters Of Mercy'' in 1990-91 i think. Too messed up and it was a band i always wanted to see. But a break-up with a girl days before set the tone and well.......the timing and my decision to start pounding drinks hours before the show wasn't one of the better decisions i had made ha ! But most shows the aroma was nice indeed !
