thread where you brag about who you've seen in concert

I'm an old fogey so some of you may not have even heard of mine. also, I wasn't big into going to concerts, I was just looking for a topic of discussion.

my first concert was The Manic Street Preachers. (for those who don't know, they were part of the brit-pop phase we were into in the '90s, had a couple hits, biggest being If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next)

at some point in high school we went to see Beck do a killer all-acoustic very small venue.

Area 2, which included organizer Moby; I went specifically to see David Bowie. Blue Man Group was also there. Maybe others.

highlight of my life was seeing Paul McCartney, being a total Beatlemaniac. I cried. that's right, like one of those wacko little girls you see on old Beatles footage. that was me.

your turn.

 

- one of the Three Tenors
- Jack Johnson (this was good)
- Simply Red
- Ronan Keating

I get sporadic work helping cater concerts, so I get into these for free. I think I've got another Simply Red one coming up soon.

 

well, if that counts I've also been to see Jesus Christ Superstar and Cabaret

apparently kids don't go to concerts anymore? I guess times truly have changed...

 

I thought a design for life was their biggest? I may be wrong, but thats my favourite manics album anyway.
The new singles not bad, i'll download it sometime if I remember.

 

Megadeth
Muse
Red Hot Chili Peppers (2x)
Melanie C
Spice Girls
The Darkness
Reel Big Fish
Epica (2x)

 

that song wasn't my favourite but the video was shown non-stop for weeks, I was under the assumption is was their biggest single but I don't keep track...
