Concerts

Who are the highest-profile artists you've seen in concert? Who puts on the best live show? Big venues or cozy ones? Post here...

The only real concert I saw was Barenaked Ladies at a big stadium in Hamilton. It was fantastic. They have a brilliant live show- not only do they sound better than on album, they are genuinely funny. They'll make up impromtu raps, rants, or jokes. Between the choruses of "If I had $1000000" Ed Robertson and Steven Page went on 5+ minute digressions. They were absolutely hilarious.

the worst desicion in my life was to see slipknot/slayer/lamb of god when they came around a couple years ago. I'm seing Green Day this wednesday. A loooooooooooooooooooong time ago I saw The Goo Goo Dolls/Barenaked Ladies but now that I think about it, they sucked. I'd say out of all these Slipknot puts on the biggest performance but the music...... mehuhbleh.

Where are you seeing Green Day?

Do people like concerts in huge auditoriums and stadiums or cozy little venues?

MASH PITS!!!! no jk jk I kinda hate mash pits but I love big stadiums with all the movement and excitment. I'm seeing green day at.... I think the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids with my friend. I think they're gonna be leaded by somebody... taproot, ill nino, marilyn manson, somebody like that. don't think taproot cuz they where just touring with disturbed, chevelle, and that one band nobody knows.

on't think taproot cuz they where just touring with disturbed, chevelle, and that one band nobody knows.
Unloco is the other band. I saw this group touring, and it was pretty kickass.

I saw them in AZ, at a big festival. I wasn't too impressed.

Some other concerts I've been to are Styx, The Moody Blues, and They Might Be Giants. None were that great, all old people at the Styx and Moody Blues concerts :(.

I'm going to go see Queens of the Stone Age on the 18th, and then I'm going to go see Paul McCartney in the fall.

Anyway, seeing QotSA will be awesome, Lord. Have fun.
