Been to any good ones lately? Any stand out as the most memorable? I'm a huge fan of live music, so I try to make it to as many as possible. Last show I saw was The Rapture a few weeks back. If you haven't heard them yet, I highly recommend you check them out.

Hey ßeta. I doubt anyone would have heard of them but I'm going to see Aussie band Powderfinger tomorrow night. I never miss their shows when they come to town as the are awesome live.

What kinda music does Rapture play?

Last Concert I saw was Crosby Stills and Nash...might go to a Pink Floyd Tribute this January..I dunno

**Sijuki** · 12-08-2003, 03:23 PM

The last concert I went to was Primus in November. It was great. I'm not always into Primus, but their live show was excellent.

Most memorable are woodstock 99 and the kid rock / metallica / ted nugent new years eve show in 99.

Band I have seen the most... ummm Incubus.. 5 or 6 times now.

**AdamTheCultured** · 12-08-2003, 03:46 PM

Most recent one was Ludacris, Chingy, and lil John....hehe...unfortunately, rap concerts arent as good live....

Best concert was Ziggy Marley and the Other Ones (The Grateful Dead minus Jerry Garcia) or Tom Petty (aint nothing like smoking a joint while Tom is singing "Last Dance with Mary Jane")....

i'm not a huge radiohead fan, but i saw them in 2000 at the greek theatre in hollywood - it was a really great show - not to mention that handsome boy modeling school opened up for them - anyway, johnny greenwood really rocks. plus, i hadn't smoked weed in about a month and the guy sitting next to me offered me a hit of his joint - double damn! - i could barely stand after that.

**kyle j** · 12-08-2003, 04:51 PM

I have different favorites for different reasons Like finger eleven is probably my all time favorite too see seen them 6 times and its always incredible.

Saw metallica 2 and a half time when i saw them in atlanta james hetfeild hurt his back but they went on without him and kid rock and jonathan davis of korn along with the system a a down guys trook over the metallica vocals it was pretty sweet.

Another great was seeing Willie nelson pretty awesome at 70 to play a two and a half hour show with no breaks and stannding the whole time
