when was the last concert you've been to?

[pie_man_25]

mine was in november seeing my friend's band final fall, and the local bands solidarity, and one man's opinon. It was during the afternoon at school and we were all (the rockers at least) really pissed that we had to sit down, so me and a couple guys decided to defy it, we almost got suspended for it, but it was worth it!
there's a video with me in it right here:

when the guy on the left does the solo behind his head, I'm the first guy to run up:dude:

just getting a case of cabin fever! When was the last show you've been to (which can include shows you've played at) and who was playing?

[tot_Ou_tard]

Derek Trucks...awesome!!!

[just strum]

Geez, it's been so long I don't remember.

Let's play it safe and say I think it was Roy Rogers and Dale Evans:D

[LagrangeCalvert]

well....discluding any shows I played,

Bogarts Cincinnati..............Lamb Of God
Machine Head
Gojira

[tunghaichuan]

Probably David Lindley and Wally Ingram at a craphole bar in Boulder about 4 our 5 years ago. There was no seating, we had to stand for the entire show :(

CSNY maybe a year or two ago in Toronto.

About two years ago, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[warren0728]

Believe you me, I get the same thing all the time since I'm a pastor. When they see me at the grocery store it's as if they're saying, "You mean to say that Pastor Arnold needs to eat too?!?" Maybe they assume I wake up and there's manna all over my carpeting or something. One of the kids in our pre-school called me Jesus the other day. I thanked him for the compliment, but said I'm just me.

Back on topic (cue Porkins voice, "Stay on topic!") my last concert was the first in many moons. In November I saw Joe Bonamassa and Crosby Loggins at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay. Loggins was surprisingly good and his dear old dad came out for a couple of tunes. Joe blew my socks into the stratosphere. I like his albums, but none of the recordings I've heard so far have captured his live energy. I'll be paying attention for the next time he comes around here.

Believe you me, I get the same thing all the time since I'm a pastor. When they see me at the grocery store it's as if they're saying, "You mean to say that Pastor Arnold needs to eat too?!?"

I remember as a kid seeing teachers and other adult authority figures in public places and being surprised to find out they had lives outside of the context of my own. It's like Ralph Wiggum's homage to Principal Skinner, "Prinicipal Skinner is an old man who lives at the school." I have a friend who is a teacher who often wonders whether or not he is running into the parents of his middle-school students when we go to shows, and another who is a college professor who often runs into his own students at shows ["oh my god, you're like a real person" is how I often describe the looks he gets].

[tot_Ou_tard]

I saw the Boss here in Albany on Nov. 15. Amazing performer, great songwriter, and man, what a band!!! :rockon: He bores me to tears on the radio. Maybe, I should go to a show & open my ears.

Get a t-shirt that says "I play guitar" - you'll be a babe magnet.

[Childbride]

Robert Earl Keen, a couple of years ago, in austin. he was here in waco recently, but we didn't go b/c the timing was off. i'm kinda over the 'huge venue' thing, unless it was someone i was really dying to see... mostly a small venue gal now. :D

Maybe if he heard you play guitar, he'd call you George Lynch! :rockon:

The smart ones will either run or know ahead of time that they will have to feed, clothe and house you. Hopefully there are still some "babes" that will come around if you wear that shirt.

Otherwise, the one that usually works best just says "Rich."

I worked with him at a pretty small venue. He has some die-hard fans for sure.

This past weekend, I saw Third Day and Barlow Girl in concert. Both put on a really great show.

Saw Ween recently...great show!

Way Cool. we've seen him a few times; we like him Lotses. saw him at Floore's Country Store in Helotes, and after the concert, he came out and signed tshirts for us [and others] and Shiner's cowboy hat. :D we took a pic w/him and REK; it's on the 'family wall of photos'. :beer:

he at some point had a fiddle player from seguin, tx playing with him, and my brother knew him [the fiddle player... Duckworth?], said he was Good Peeps, as well.

tres cool. :AOK:

Man, it's been awhile since I took in some live music.
End of August: Velvet Revolver/Alice in Chains.
My son & I like to RAWK on occasion.:rockon:

You can say that again Spud. Here's a pic for ya' from a few years back!:beer: For the rest of y'all, Robert Earl is the sober one.:D

No, he'd say, "Mommy, is there something wrong with him?"

[pie_man_25]

No, he'd say, "Mommy, is there something wrong with him?"

I think it would be something like:
"why do you play that devil-music?!"

or he may not say anything and just do this:

We got a real treat this past Tuesday night [Jan 22]. Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings played a show in Tampa the other night. Having listened to them for some years now, it was a real treat to finally get to seem them live. This is the closest thing to seeing James Brown at the height of his powers as I am likely to get.

For starters, the band are funk/soul heavyweights. They can lock into a groove at the drop of a hat and they bring it strong all night. Even without their singer on stage, this is a band that commands your attention.

And then, well then there is the almost indescribable Miss Sharon Jones. She is a ball of energy with a voice beyond words. She's as soulful as it gets, and the voice is powerful. I got the feeling that had her mic gone out I still could have heard her just fine. She has tremendous charisma, and can play a crowd like no other. Descriptions of her as the "Lady James Brown" are right on target, evidenced in large part of her masterful performances during several JB's covers throughout the set.

If they come anywhere near you, see them. They are a live show not to be missed.

nice brian. i got my wife a shirt that says "support the arts, sleep with a musician." now that she is pregnant, a friend of ours got her one that says "made love, not war"

Most recent show (one I played at):

http://www.gainesvillebands.com/forum/uploads/images/bugsville/2007-12-28_123717_12_28_07_1982_fromthem.jpg

Probably most recent show I didn't play at was the first night of this 2-night outdoor fest (I played the second night though):

http://scheckite.net/flyer07fr.JPG

As you might guess, both shows were all-locals.

I haven't been to a "big" concert in years, which is fine by me. I much prefer club shows.

We saw Mr. BB King after Christmas holiday. Best concert I've ever been to. He is just an amazing man. Always heard he tossed out gold trinkets out to the front rows after the set at his shows but thought it was an urban legend....I was wrong, he did do that. Pretty cool.

[Danzego]

Wow...last concert? Ever since getting back into school a year and a half ago, I haven't been to anything. Doesn't help that I live in Oregon. NO ONE comes 'round here. I'm not kidding. Most bands hit Seattle and somewhere in North Cali, but that's it. What a contrast from Chicago, where there was always a good show to go to...and go to them I did *ears ringing*.

I do believe the last show I saw was Black Label Society (Zakk Wylde's band) a few years back. He came around again in late '06, but I was in the middle of finals and chose the responsible route. :(

I still can't remember the last concert. I do remember seeing these guys when the "Bowie" thing (make-up and feminine gestures) was popular.

There are a number of youtubes of the group, but this is one of the shorter ones

[player]

last concert attended featured Black Stone Cherry and their featured guestThe Kentucky Headhunters who really rocked.BSC let me down having seen them fresh before,this concert they were just coming off of a third tour in Europe.it was definitely a headhunters night though.must lay blame on the sound techs.while totally setup for the HH could not adjust in time for the featured artist barely recognizing two tunes I know they did:thwap:

[stingx]

Grant Green Jr.

[tjcurtin1]

Just saw Jorma Kaukonen (of Hot Tuna fame), with a fabulous mandolin player who doubled on tenor guitar and bouzouki. Fabulous music (all acoustic) in a small venue. Man, could those guys play! A real treat, and brought me back to life after a particularly rough week.

[mechanic]

Last show I saw would be George Jones.
The show before that was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.
Both very different types of concerts but worth all the time, effort, and expense.
