Leaving it to you guys to get the ball rolling!

Ok i'll start it then! I've been to a few shows in my lifetime starting with Culture Club and the last being KOL this year! Aside from LIVE, standouts would be u2 r&hum tour, pearl jam at the bowl, crowded house farewell & foo fighters last year!
Oh and KISS after the grand prix

Went to a Bush show when they first became big with opening acts No Doubt and Goo Goo Dolls at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Anyway, went with a group of 14 people and had 2nd row tickets off of the floor. My friend and I talked to the usher lady throughout both opening acts and she ended up letting he and I onto the main floor for Bush. She said only us so we left the rest of the group behind for the final act. Cool ass lady. During the concert Iwe were having a blast and this girl walked up and started talking to me. Ended up getting her number and we ended up dating. Great time!

At the same show a friend and myself were watching the big screen and they were showing random shots of the crowd during stage change for the first two acts. During this they started showing two girls asses walking up the steps and kept flashing to two guys staring at the screen watching the girls. After a few times we realized that my friend and I were the guys they were flashing to (not the same friend that got on the floor). Fucking halarious. The whole group was cracking up.

Bush is not one of my favorite bands today but with the group we had and the things that happend that may be the funnest concerts I have ever been to.

The best moment though was at the Live concert last summer. I was on my way to the bathroom with my wife (I had a Live shirt on) and a random guy asked if I was a big fan. Obviously I replied yes and he said his wife had to work tomorrow and he had two back stage passes. Wanted to know if I wanted them. I had a blast meeting all the guys and getting pictures and autographs with everyone. Awesome moment!

The good - Both InMe gigs I've been to. The crowd are mental to the point of it getting a bit violent on the wall of death, but it all adds to the fun. The support bands are mostly a pleasant surprise and are actually worth seeing. Dave the lead singer is one of the most engaging and witty frontmen there is and the band deserve far better cards than they've been dealt by the industry. I make no secret of adoring the band but half of that is because of the great gigs I've been to.

The bad - Muse who were responsible for just the most unenthusiastic and tedious gig I've ever been to. To the point I can't bear listening to them any more. They were either having an off night or they really aren't as good live as everybody slavishly parrots. I didn't really how horribly nasal and whiny Matt Bellamy's voice was and his stage presence is nil as all he did was jump about like a monkey with st vitus dance and never interacted with the crowd once.

The ugly - The support band when I saw The Prodigy. I can safely say that Red Snapper have the sonics and appeal of having your head shoved in a metal bin and beaten by three angry young men (Muse, probably, after hearing my opinion) with cricket bats.

My first ever gig was The Ataris at the London Astoria. I got a migraine towards the end and spent the train journey home puking out the window at 100mph

I haven't yet seen Muse live but everyone who has seen them has said they are very good, are you a big fan of their music in general?

My favorite concert memory is probably getting to see Candlebox on their reunion tour, mainly because I never got to see them when they were originally together. It was a long time coming and definitely worth it.

Seeing P.O.D. play for 12 people in Lexington, SC will probably go down as one of my strangest concert memories, 5 years later they were huge.

I've got pics with the band. Knowing how to show them here is a whole nother story. From what I can tell I need a url. I just have them saved on my computer from a camera disc.
