Best time at a concert!

Recommended Posts

I am curious to find out who has the best story from going to a concert! Meeting a band, going back stage, whatever!

Mine would have to be getting front row tickets to a Dave Matthews Band concert. A friend that went with me somehow got front row tickets from some guy walking around the venue, then came to me and showed me! I was so angry that he had them and I didn't! We then went back to that same guy and he ended up giving me the very same tickets!!! It was the best concert I have ever been to! Sitting front row at a Dave Matthews Band concert!

DMB concerts are always the best no matter what row you have, as long as it isn't lawn at the gorge. Mine would also be DMB last year night 3 at the gorge, I only had row 30 but I have row 20 this year. Stand Up on Mayt 10th.

Got to meet Phantom Planet when they played in Rochester a couple of years ago. Also got to meet Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes which was pretty sweet.

TINC fan, nice. I saw them play in Toronto last year. They're awesome, by far one of my favorite European bands.

Fear Factory, Static-X and Dope at a small enough venue that all the bands were floating around in the crowd when they weren't playing having a good time and drinking with the fans. This was right before Static-X got huge, like weeks before, so it was a great time for all.

Ive always wanted to go to the gorge! Ever since I got that gorge DVD, it looks like such a great place! My favorite venue I have ever been to is Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI. Hell yea to Stand Up!

Another DMB here. 15th row on the floor, but it didn't really matter. There were so many people standing down there, it was crazy. I met some really cool people that night, too.

Nice. Another DMB fan. My best moment was either in Ames when DMB had Neil Young come out and play Rockin in the Free World, All Along the Watchtower, and Cortez the Killer. Twenty minute guitar solos by Young are amazing. Or when I saw DMB at Alpine Valley last year. Phenominal. I'm going back this year for the entire weekend.

EDIT: I'm tempted to never post again, this being my 666th post.

It was probably when I went to see Joe Satriani and Dream Theater in 2002 in Quebec. Got up at 7 in the morning, drove to Quebec (3 hours and a half). Spent the day there got my pictures taken with the lead singer of DT James Labrie and also got his authograph, drove back after the concert, arrived here at 6 in the morning cause we were stopping at every gas station to make sure everyone was ok and no one was too tired to drive. Didn't sleep at all packed the car and went to Moncton to start university. Didn't sleep for about 42 hours.

The one time I saw DMB they weren't that impressive. Then again, the tickets were free and I wasn't a big fan anyway. One of teh 4 or 5 worst shows out of the 200-300 I've seen.

Best time I ever had at a show was probably Lollapalooza 2 or 3.

My cousin was the guitarist in Hot Hot Heat up until this fall.

So Ive seen some pretty cool shit because of that. Standing onstage at the House of Blues in Anaheim, filming it. Then partying all night backstage and at the hotel with them and the Osbourne kids and Tony Hawk. Don't gamble with millionaires. Standing on the stage with them playing in front of 50,000 people opening for the Cure and Duran Duran was um, decent.

But my fav is still the Bad Boy tour in '97.
