GTKY: Music

[mrstommyshelby]

Inspired by rachydc 's love for Britney....

If you could see anyone in concert in their heyday (so either dead/alive but not heyday or band's broken up) who would it be?


If you could see anyone that is still touring now (ie Rachydc's Britney) who would it be?


You can have multiple answers.  I won't be so strict on the responses!


Extra Credit - what's your favorite concert you ever attended?

[mrstommyshelby]

Heyday Concert- Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac or Queen

Today - This is harder for me because I like older music, probably The Head and the Heart.

Fav Concert - I have three.

In third grade (way before online anything, but def not online tickets) my mom waited in line for one of those wristband things and got us ridiculously awesome New Kids on the Block tix. Donnie forever.

Various Dave Matthews outdoor concerts from my high school and early college youth. Lots of lawn seats.

George Strait with Brooks N Dunn with my parents, H, my bro and his wife before we all had kids or were even married now that I think about it. Great tickets. I like old country and these are my Dad's favs so it was really fun.

I'm going to see NKOTB with Boyz II Men and Paula Abdul in July!! This is pretty much my dream concert back in my preteen years lol.

[mrstommyshelby]

littleowl913, I heard End of the Road on Satellite Radio recently and was immediately transported back to slow dancing in Jr High. I thought those songs meant so much to me back then. I was in 7th grade. What was I thinking? You have to let us know how the concert is.

[mommabakes]

If you could see anyone in concert in their heyday (so either dead/alive but not heyday or band's broken up) who would it be? Queen


If you could see anyone that is still touring now (ie Rachydc's Britney) who would it be? Elton John, Sia, Pink, or Within Temptation




Extra Credit - what's your favorite concert you ever attended? Tans Siberian Orchestra - I really don't enjoy going to concerts

[blackmamba]

If you could see anyone in concert in their heyday who would it be? Madonna's Blond Ambition tour

If you could see anyone that is still touring now (ie Rachydc's Britney) who would it be? I'd be down for Britney.

Extra Credit - what's your favorite concert you ever attended? There was a local rock festival in my home town that I went to every year that was super fun. I also loved Lady Gaga in concert.

Yes! Excellent answer with Madonna's Blond Ambition!

[rachydc]

Excellent thread mrstommyshelby !!

Without a doubt - Led Zeppelin, Queen and David Bowie!


If you could see anyone that is still touring now who would it be?
I love seeing Dave Matthews Band tour during the Summer. It's such a fun, chill, atmosphere. I'd also love to see Britney again of course! I just saw Red Hot Chili Peppers, they were great too!


Extra Credit - what's your favorite concert you ever attended? Ooooooooo this is tough!! Britney (duh), David Guetta in Vegas was also super fun.

[rachydc]

mrstommyshelby, Too funny, Im just reading your answers now. Music twinsies. I'm adding Stevie Nicks to my "Anyone that is still touring" question, but I would have LOVED to see them in their heyday too!

Super creepy. We are music twins! I love it.  Too bad we can't grab mommabakes and go see Queen together. I was not expecting so much Queen love and it makes me very happy.

What is your favorite LZ song?

I read "Thank You" as part of my wedding vows, so I'm very partial to that one. But I also think melodically, "Babe I'm gunna leave you" is one of the most beautiful songs. How about you?? 

[mrstommyshelby]

WOW. So cool. You are so cool. I'm in serious awe right now.

D'yer Mak'er, In The Light, Fool in the Rain, Tangerine


ETA - WTF - how did I miss my three way tie fav with DM and In the Light?  ALL OF MY LOVE. 

[Rama]

If you could see anyone in concert in their heyday (so either dead/alive but not heyday or band's broken up) who would it be? BTO, Queen, AC/DC, REO Speedwagon, Linkin Park

If you could see anyone that is still touring now (ie Rachydc's Britney) who would it be? Maroon 5!

Extra Credit - what's your favorite concert you ever attended? Hands down, no contest, TSO last Christmas. The actual best.

[mrstommyshelby]

mommabakes, Rama, I love Christmas music. I'm that person that never complains when the stores put it on right after Halloween. My Pandora and Spotify are all Christmas from Nov 15 through new years. Sounds like I am overdue from TSO!

[Cythe]

I was just thinking about this!

In their prime: Queen and Garth Brooks (yes I know he is actually touring right now but it's not the same)

Current: ehh, I don't care for a lot of bands/musicians as a whole right now. I like songs, but not all their stuff to justify the cost.

Bonus: Britney Spears ♡

[kboyet]

This is hard. Need to think on it. mommabakes I saw Pink in concert and she was incredible- highly recommend!

[riverraine]

Heyday concert: Ooh, Queen is a good one.

Touring now: There isn't really anyone I'm dying to see that I haven't seen before so I'm going to go with some of my favorites that I would love to see again. (I feel like this makes me old because I'm not all about discovering new music anymore...)
Sufjan Stevens x4
Fleet Foxes
Radiohead

Favorite concert from my high school/college years that were really fun at the time but I wouldn't necessarily want to see again:
Sasquatch festivals
Tool (LOL)
Modest Mouse

[riverraine]

mrstommyshelby I was a big fan of the Head and the Heart's first album! Haven't heard their newer stuff.

Your Garth answer is exactly the way I was trying to ask the question!

More Queen love ❤️ ❤️❤️

Both of their other albums are good. Let's Be Still is their second album (some very good songs here, another story, josh McBride, let's be still, hmmm I know there's more) and they just released an album also good but I can't think of the name. The first radio release song is All We Ever Knew. It's good. I like their first album best but look up their second album. Too me very close second.

I want to drink wine tonight and listen to music now.

ETA I still really like Modest Mouse.

[kj808]

Heyday concert: Michael Jackson for sure.

Current: I would LOVE to go to the NKOTB/Boyz II Men/Paula Abdul concert! Also Bruno Mars - i've been to one of his concerts already and he was AMAZING, so i'd like to see him again.

Bonus favorite concert: Toss up between Bruno Mars and 311. Both were awesome.

[yogini kiki]

Heyday Concert: The Beatles, Grateful Dead w/ Jerry Garcia
Current Concert: Bruno Mars
Favorite Concert: Counting Crows when they did the tour of minor league ballparks.

I also would have loved to be at Woodstock.


<< hippie

[yogini kiki]

Queen would be awesome though...I mean, who doesn't love Queen!

[bubblefan]

yogini kiki jelly of the Counting Crows!

I love Counting Crows. I have seen them three times and they were all awesome...the last one was the best though, he had just gotten out of rehab, it was in this podunk baseball stadium and they played BOTH Anna Begins and Mr. Jones which NEVER HAPPENS!!

[rachydc]

yogini kiki, Woodstock would have been so amazing to be a part of!

[yogini kiki]

rachydc, I have this thing for community festival type human love fests. I don't know what it is...I cried real tears at the NYC Women's march giving random strangers hugs. The energy is just something really special.

[mrstommyshelby]

Wait! yogini kiki and bubblefan August and Everything After is maybe my top to bottom fav album of all time. I can probably sing every word without the music even being on. Total summer going into 8th grade angst! My favorite song from that album still changes. Anna Begins, perfect Blue Buildings, Raining in Baltimore one of those three. I still listen to it on iTunes and Spotify.

When was this tour yoginikiki???

Did you know they are touring again? I almost put them on my heyday list but to me, they are just 1 album, it's not a huge body of work but what a good album it was. I may go but they are playing w Matchbox 20 and that didn't grab me and then I felt really old.

I love talking about music!

ETA Sullivan Street too. Seriously!
