So far in my life, i've been to two live concerts. The first was Status Quo, and Mike and the Mechanics. The 2nd was for T-pau, and a local welsh band.. There's been several others i WANTED to go to, but could never make.

However, i've seen quite a few live streams of concerts and video footage of others..

So what is for you, your favorite concert you've attended or seen?

My two favorites were Victor Borge and Weird Al Yankovic.

Gah, it's been 20 years since I saw Weird Al. I also went to several concerts for the goth band Cruxshadows, because my ex-wife was really in to them.

Depeche Mode: Music for the Masses, held in 1988 at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. 60,000 fans, and the opening acts were Howard Jones, Thomas Dolby, Wire, and OMD.

That's awesome. My son's friend introduced him to Weird Al so he went through a little phase last year.

Yup. They did both their heart and soul album and some of their new one.. IIRC that was back in 99.

I'm into music mooie mooie. It's really interesting to see what kinds of music people are into!

So what is for you, your favorite concert you've attended?

I've attended over 100 concerts (and this is not counting local bar bands). Here are my favorite concerts (in alphabetical order):
    Aerosmith
    The Beastie Boys
    The Black Crowes (2)
    Black Sabbath (the complete original line-up)
    Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
    Clutch (22)
    Alice Cooper
    Cypress Hill
    Def Leppard
    The Doors of the 21st Century (w/ Ray Manzarek, Robbie Krieger, and Ian Astbury.)
    Bob Dylan
    The Grateful Dead (yes w/ Jerry Garcia before he died)
    Ice Cube w/ WC
    Judas Priest
    KISS
    Lez Zeppelin
    Living Colour
    Lynyrd Skynyrd
    Public Enemy
    Ted Nugent
    The Rolling Stones
    Slash's Snakepit
    Snoop Dogg
    "Star Wars in Concert"
    Steppenwolf
    The Steve Miller Band
    311 (23, once free)
    Pat Travers
    The Who
    John Williams (conducting the Columbus Symphony Orchestra)
    ZZ Top

I don't know if I could pick a single favorite concert, but if I had to it might be my first 311 show in 1995. A small venue where the pit went right up to the stage with a rickety metal rail (no security area), I was front and center on the rail. It was crazy, but I had a blast! The two vocalists literally sang and rapped in my face! No Doubt had opened for 311 at that show and I flirted with Gwen Stefani that night, but I don't have any witnesses for that.


I never met Weird Al, but I do have a few music "claims to fame":
    1. As a clumsy teenager that ended up in the VIP section of a Bruce Springsteen concert, I accidentally backhanded David Crosby in the back of his head.
    2. Remember Slash from Guns N' Roses? He jumped out on speaker I was standing beside, and I strummed his guitar live in concert during a solo (and he didn't kick me in the face). Rock!
    3. I met Ray Manzerek, keyboardist of The Doors, and chatted with him for about 10 minutes. Rock! (RIP Ray Manzerek)
I don't have any photos for these events but I do have witnesses for all three!


My favorite band since 2004 is Clutch, a rock band from Maryland, the same four guys since 1991. I've seen them 22 times in concert and loved them all. What Would A Wookiee Do?

I haven't gone to many concerts, but I've seen Def Leppard four of five times. The last time was with Heart a few years ago, which was amazing! The Wilson sisters were incredible.

Cool. My single time seeing Def Leppard was 1988 in the Summer of Pour Some Sugar on Me.

Unfortunately I missed my chances to see Heart. I would have loved that if they played their 70s rock hits.
