Best Concert: Elton John
Worst Concert: We saw Martina McBride and Alan Jackson when they were touring together. He was great- she was awful. Very pitchy, and she seemed drunk. She forgot the words to one of her songs. I was bummed.
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? Not that I know of, at this point.
Best - Lifehouse at Kings Dominion (VA). My friend and I were in the first 5 rows, and the entire amphitheater only held a few hundred people. We were *thisclose* to Jason Wade!
Worst - With the same friend, I attended the HFStival in DC one year. Tenacious D took the stage, and I wanted to run away. They were horrendous.
I have no plans to attend any concerts this year.
What is the best concert you've ever been to? I?ve been to quite a few good ones, but my first was Garth Brooks and it was a pretty amazing show! Dixie Chicks, Kenny Chesney, Eminem, Katy Perry, Colbie Caillat?all amazing as well!
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? D12. Yep, I said it. I thought for sure Eminem would show, and I was totally stoked, but it was just D12 and they were terrible.
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? If so, who? Yes! I?m going to see Sara Evans at the Austin Rodeo next month, and then in April we have a celebrity softball jam, so quite a few bands will be there, including Kevin Fowler, Reckless Kelly, etc.
What is the best concert you've ever been to? Probably Elton John he just has such energy he doesn't quit.
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? I would have to say a small one at a convetion I went too this weekend... the artist is Voltaire......we love this guy but he only played 2 songs we knew..one of which had new words ( twilight version of song he had already done) and the rest was from his new album. I was so dissapointed been looking forward to seeing him since last years convetion. But didn't know any of the songs.
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? If so, who? Hopefully the same guy from this weekend at another event in May.
I thought of a few more:
What is the best concert you've ever been to? Billy Joel, Five For Fighting (have seen him twice) and both times it was a very small venue and super intimate. We also saw Cold Play at a very small venue which was fun.
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? Pink Floyd (admittedly I went because DH likes them-it was the biggest pot head concert I've ever been too. I think we were the only 2 sober people there), Jimmy Buffet-the sound was awful and all of the parrot heads were super annoying. I guess that isn't our scene either! I also was disappointed by REM.
What is the best concert you've ever been to? Barenaked Ladies in October 2000 - they're a ton of fun to see live. I loved Elton John both times I saw him (amazed at his energy at his age!).
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? Um, probably Godsmack in 2001. All the people around us were smoking pot, and I spent the majority of the concert sick to my stomach in the bathroom.
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? If so, who? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my mom got me Kenny Chesney tickets for my birthday. (It's been a trend my past couple of birthdays)
Best: Black Eyed Peas in 2005. They hadn't really been around too long, were still doing their early stuff, not the techno-ish stuff they do now. It was a free outdoor concert in St. Louis, and it was so much fun. U2 is a close second.
Worst: not sure, all of the shows I've been to have been really good. Although for pure acoustic reasons, the shows I've been to at the Pepsi Center here in Denver have probably been my least favorite. It's just not a great venue.
Next concert: we're going to Eric Church at Red Rocks in May, very excited about that. I love any show at Red Rocks.
What is the best concert you've ever been to? Dave Matthews Band!!! last summer during his Caravan tour with a lot of other bands!!!! It was awesome!
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? Michael Bolton, LOL, with my Mom about 18 years ago!
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? If so, who? Hopefully Dave Matthews Band in July! DH and I go every year for the past 13 years. I have seen him probably about 50 times!
oh wow good poll!!!
wow a lot of country fans here. haven't heard of most of the bands/people mentioned....
i have a few tops: i've seen U2 about 5 times. they always rock. Billy Idol YEARS ago and he was fantastic. Madonna was outstanding, Sting was also very very very very good, holy cow i've seen tons. Coldplay was awesome. Depeche Mode-one of my all time faves-all 6 trillion of their shows are great. I saw rage against the machine in college and then after and they always kick ass. The Cult rocked it on the Jon Stewart show too. 36 years old=many concerts
Bob Dylan was the weirdest I've ever seen.
The worst? I can't think of one really.....
What is the best concert you've ever been to? -- Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia, June 26, 2009.
What is the worst concert you've ever been to? -- Jazz Fest, New Orleans, Louisiana, May 6, 1990
Are you seeing anyone in concert in the next 6 months? If so, who? -- no plans, but it depends on who comes to Australia.
BEST - Blacked Eyed Peas - The END tour. Cherry Tree tour - LMFAO, Far east Movement. also The Fray were pretty good
WORST - Pauly D and Sam Roberts.
Oh I have Black key tickets, but I think I am going sell em to friend. I think BF may have gotten us Madonna tickets, but im not sure. I always go to concerts, I wanted to go to Pitbull (ive seen before) and Flo rider but I will be out of the country until the day after they are here in my city. I'd love to go to coachella this year though.
Best- Stevie Wonder: he's very entertaining and has so many classic songs. I walked down the aisle to "You and I" When he sang that song I cried like a baby! He also did an amazing impromptu solo with India Arie that I couldn't stop thinking about for several nights afterward.
Worst- can't think of one
Upcoming- Trey Songz in March and New Edition in May
