Who have you seen in concert?

[KSUViolet06]

Saw Nicki last year with Wayne & Travis Barker. It was awesome. Can agree that Nicki puts on a great live show.

I just realized how I NEVER updated this when I went to Home & Home with Jay-Z/Eminem at Comerica Park (yes, THAT show that was the last time Em toured and only one of like 4 dates.)

That is probably my biggest concert WIN of recent years. Like, the concert was so rare that the shirt I bought is now being sold on eBay as a collectors item for $300 (there are no more.)

Coming up this year:

Justin Timberlake on 12/12.

Miguel/Future/2Chanz/Drake also coming in August.

Oh lawd Jesus it's a fahr.

My mom liked taking me to concerts as a kid so she wouldn't look like "a creepy mom there all by herself"...I was totally okay with this! The last two were this summer.

*Rob Thomas (Beth Hart was the opener)
*Pointer Sisters (4 times. Once at a July 4th concert, and 3x because a cousin knows them)
*Stevie Wonder (was so awesome!!!)
*Jason Mraz
*Lilith Fair 199...7?: Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Liz Phair, Indigo Girls

I wonder if we ran into each other there without knowing! :P

Where were you seated? We were in the wristbanded "mosh pit" area where we almost lost our lives.

Bumping because reading threads like this is more fun than seeing an endless array of mindless spam...and because I saw Tesla, Styx, and Def Leppard in concert last night (Awesome!) and am excited about seeing Motley Crue & Alice Cooper next month!

What a fun concert, ThetaPrincess! Quoting myself to update that I've since seen Justin Timberlake again, Straight No Chaser again, Rihanna, and Kelly Clarkson again.

I went to Def Leppard/Styx/Tesla earlier this summer! Lots of fun. This summer I also saw Barenaked Ladies/Violent Femmes/Colin Hay (what can I say, I’m a sucker for those multi-act 80’s/90’s tours), Counting Crows (twice) and Phish (a bunch of times).


In addition to this summer, I’ve seen, in no particular order, and a lot of these more than once:


Fleetwood Mac, Indigo Girls, Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, Alanis Morrisette, Elton John & Billy Joel together, U2, Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi, Gavin DeGraw, Maroon 5, Bob Dylan, Hootie & the Blowfish, Crosby Stills & Nash, John Mayer, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, James Taylor, Melissa Etheridge, Dixie Chicks, Augustana, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Blues Traveler, INXS, Bad Company, Damn Yankees, .moe, Heart. And probably a bunch more I’m forgetting. I go to a lot of concerts!

I volunteer with merchandise booths frequently for Third Day and Newsboys and will be doing my first volunteer concert for TobyMac in November. (http://www.loopevents.org/) for those of you into christian music and want to see a show for "free" by volunteering.

[AOIIalum]

I do regret not going to Elvis Presley (I was too cool) and Stevie Wonder with the Rolling Stones (just could not afford the $5 ticket, I had no money).
