GTKY: concerts

[MissDemeanor]

Inspired by the recent Facebook posts.

What was your first concert?

The last one you went to?

Favourite?

The one you're embarrassed to admit to?

The one band/artist you'd like to see? Living or dead, together or broken up? But you can't say the Beatles, because that's too obvious.

I was never really into modern music to go to concerts. I did see Dave Matthews' Band in college, I was bored out of my mind. I did go to symphonies and loved them. I loved seeing Bernadette Peters in concert.

I actually would have loved to see Madonna in concert around the early 90's.

First concert was lynyrd skynyrd at a local venue my dad was doing EMS on.

Last one was Keith Urban in October or so

Favorite was either Tool (3x) or Garth Brooks at Yankee Stadium this past summer. Clearly my musical tastes vary a bit.

I would have loved to see Pink Floyd, and may see The Australian Pink Floyd Show

I've also seen KISS. It wasn't great.

Fun fact, I went to 3 shows while pregnant; Garth Brooks, KISS and Keith Urban.

What was your first concert? Pink Floyd with my parents when I was 12

The last one you went to? It was a 4 day festival last summer, with Pearl Jam as headliner. Not as fun when pregnant

Favourite? LALAPOLOOZA in like 94

The one you're embarrassed to admit to? None. No NKOTB in my past

The one band/artist you'd like to see? Living or dead, together or broken up? But you can't say the Beatles, because that's too obvious. Hmm... I'm extremely excited for U2 next month. I'd love to see Elton John too

pibblemom Im pretty sure we could be best friends! I love country too. And I have an extra ticket for Tool in June

What was your first concert?
The Smashing Pumpkins on the Mellon Collie tour

The last one you went to?
Either Metallica (my ex's choice, but I enjoyed it) or Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Favourite?
Ooh, this is hard. I think Tori Amos

The one you're embarrassed to admit to?
None, really. I wouldn't see KORN again (another ex choice)

The one band/artist you'd like to see? Garbage. They hardly ever tour and I never saw them when they were more popular

I'd like to add another question: artist(s) you've seen the most:
Guster, Barenaked Ladies, DMB, Tori Amos (All 4-6 times)

[MissDemeanor]

I think I've seen Pearl Jam the most.

I also loved a Chantel Kreviosick (sp) concert.

First: Brandi Carlie

Last: Guster

Favourite: I'm selective with my concerts so basically all of them. Guster, Brandi, The New Pornographers, First Aid Kit, The Lone Bellows, and The Civil Wars were all top notch.

Embarrased: None, but Ani DiFranco was my least favorite because it ruined her music for me

Want to see: The Decemberists. Tori was always on my list when I was younger.

Seen the most: Guster 4x, twins silvermelody!

Baby's "first" concerts: DS was The New Pornographers and DD was Guster

What was your first concert? Some random ass concert put on by our local radio station when I was 11

The last one you went to? Bruce Springsteen

Favourite? Ugh this is hard because I've been to a lot of good shows... but Paul McCartney was amazing so I'll go with him. But Third Eye Blind my senior year of college was kick ass. Maybe just because of nostalgia and being drunk though.

The one you're embarrassed to admit to? Hanson. And I had t-shirts. And posters on my walls.

The one band/artist you'd like to see? Living or dead, together or broken up? Seriously my answer includes the Beatles but also The Rolling Stones (Before 1980... I have seen them as old men but I'd like to go back and see them in late 60's and again in mid 70's) and Led Zeppelin.

Vancouver is a pretty great city....

What was your first concert? Boyz II Men around 1990ish

The last one you went to? NKOTB, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men about 2 years ago. I loved re-living the 80's/90's for a few hours!

Favourite? Kenny Chesney. He put on a great show and my roommate and I used to go see him every year.

The one you're embarrassed to admit to? Martina McBride and whoever she toured with in the early 2000's. It was not great.

The one band/artist you'd like to see? Living or dead, together or broken up? But you can't say the Beatles, because that's too obvious. Adele, and I'm sad I might need to wait another 10 years to even have a chance. She's so sweet and charming and her voice blows me away.

First concert: The W's

Last Concert: It was one of those music fests. Edgefest. Rock. I don't remember who played.

Favorite: Blake Shelton 😍 We were four rows groom the front.

Embarrassed by: None. Not that I've been to many.

I'd love to go to a Brad Paisley concert. He seems so fun!

[peaseblossom55]

I totally forgot in college I went with my friend to see Duran Duran, and had backstage passes. My cousin was lead guitarist at the time and I hadn't seen him since I was 4. I was disappointed because he had left right after the concert, I don't think he got the message I would be there.

First - Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch

Last - Dave Matthews? Unless you count going to the symphony? It was a viewing of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and the symphony played the score. It was pretty cool. I mean, it literally sounded exactly like the movie music. You forgot it was a live orchestra, it just seemed like you were watching the movie in the theater.

Favourite? Either NSYNC's No Strings Attached tour (no shame), or Kenney Chesney? Or Tim McGraw. They were all fun and upbeat!

Embarassed? I guess I'm supposed to say Nsync, but see above.

Wish List - Elvis. Or Frank Sinatra.

[peaseblossom55]

judyblume14, the live orchestration of Harry Potter sounds really cool though.
