Best Concert Ever

[Heavy]

I've been to a few concerts in my day. In 92 It was the "Use Your Illusion" Tour with Guns-N-Roses and Metallica at Giants stadium. Metallica rocked for 3 hours and GNR rocked as well for about 2 1/2 before I guess Metallica fans starting throwing things at AXL. Needless to say AXL cursed off the security and the fans and walked off in the middle of Knocking on Heavens Door. A drunk ass Duff slurred off some coments before destroying the end of the song with his breaking voice. In 94 I saw a Sucicidal Tendencies/Danzig/Metallica show at the Garden State Arts Center. This show was fucking sweet. In 96 I saw the Ramones at Coney Island High in the Village. I was shocked how good they were and the 100 people crammed into that basement just loved getting felt up. After that I was in Hawaii were I saw the "warped tour" in 98 I think headlined by Suicidal Tendencies with other "skater" type bands like penny wise. Was'nt worth 8 hours in the sun to see ST for 45 minutes. In 2000 I think I saw Rage Against The Machine at the Blaisdale in Hawaii. They rocked but only for like an hour. Finally the last one was ST once again, this time at a club in Hawaii in 2000. It was OK. By far the best was the Suicidal/ Danzig/ Metallica show back in 94. Godamn I'm longwinded.

I was pissed when i lived in Tenneesse and had to catch a flight to California the very night the Stones were playing in Nashville back in 97. I passed up seeing White Zombie for like a $10 ticket in Asbury Park NJ...and i skipped the Megadeath/ ST show in 93 to watch Riddick Bowe Knock Holyfield around for 12 rounds.
You may now fell free to post your concert stories......

You just knew

In 94 I saw a Sucicidal Tendencies/Danzig/Metallica show at the Garden State Arts Center. This show was fucking sweet.

Dude, we've been to a lot of the same shows I think...I was there, and goddamn, Suicidal tore the house down...Metallica were great that night, but Suicidal Tendencies blew me away...

and i skipped the Megadeath/ ST show in 93 to watch Riddick Bowe Knock Holyfield around for 12 rounds.

Was that the Friday the 13th show at the Ritz? Cause I was there, and it was wayyyyy violent...it looked like a gang war during ST, but to date, it's the best Megadeth show I'd ever seen...

Beastie Boys at Nassau Coliseum in '95 was awesome, Mr. Bungle at Birch Hill on my birthday '98, Faith No More at Malibu Beach Club in '95 <after the previous night at Roseland...NICE!> and 15th row center for KISS at the Garden the first reunion tour '96...

God I've been to a lot of shows :)

the Ritz


Wow-- that's old school! Whenever I talk about shows I went to back in the day and say "The Ritz," my husband laughs at me. "The WHAT? You mean Webster Hall!"

[Arienette]

My personal fave is Radiohead at Liberty State Park last summer. Awesome.

that's definitely one of mine... i went to both shows, and they were both just amazing.

also, i saw bright eyes acoustic last summer, which was basically just conor (the singer/songwriter/guitarist/etc) and his guitar at the village underground... such an intimiate little place, i was right up front for both shows. that was probably my most incredible night

[FUNKMAN]

1997 - Grand Funk Railroad at the Beacon Theatre...

"Closer To Home" AWESOME!

Was that the Friday the 13th show at the Ritz?


Hell yea it was friday the 13th. I think it was 92 actually and even 10 years later I remember having a bad feeling that day and after school some friends and I hit a fucking tree HARD. I barely made it out of the hospital in time to get from Jersey to Brooklyn to watch the fight. There was a train full of dudes going to the city to see the concert

[Doogie]

Ok Johnny I went to the first one that you mentioned and agreed that kicked ass...the second Metallica one with Suicidal and Danzig I saw at Middletown Fairgrounds in Orange County NY...and that show totally blew the f***ing roof away...By far one of the greatest I have ever seen...but to me the greatest has to be the U2 Zooropa tour in Yankee Stadium. Now that was a kick ass show...

Thank you WWF Fallon for the sig

[mrbungle]

)Everclear at Roseland 4/21/96....Everclear kicked major hiney but it was the opening band Hagfish that killed and blew them away

Hagfish rocked, I saw them in '95 at the Limelight opening for Reverend Horton Heat and the Supersuckers...I worked at Tower at the time and had a promo only Hagfish shirt which I wore to the show...after they were off, the singer is walking around the bar area, sees my shirt and flips...he hadn't seen that one out there yet, and was psyched that anyone even knew who they were...a great guy...

lollapalooza with rage and tool beforel they were big, on the second stage. i cant even remember who else played, i think ministry.

Actually you're thinking of 1993, which was:

Primus
Alice In Chains
Rage Against The Machine
Tool
Babes In Toyland
and I forget the rest...

Ministry was on '92 with:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ice Cube
Soundgarden
Front 242
Pearl Jam
Lush
Cypress Hill <2nd stage>

[brodieman]

METALLICA! i dont remembered who opened, i dont care who opened, i was there for metallica. it was the year they jumped on the Tattoo the Earth tour (2000 i believe) they put on the best performance i have ever seen, played every song, i came about 3 times :P

this if ofcourse followed closly by the aerosmith touring with fuel last summer, it's so cool when they came out onto the lawn at the arts center in jersey and sang Dream On 5 inches from my face.

You're going to listen to something I said? Haven't I made it abundantly clear during the tenure of our friendship that I don't know shit?

[Heavy]

I was also at that MTV beach party thing in 91 i think it was. That was in Belmar and the little riot broke out because of the Super soaker fights I guess. Those retards Kris Krosswere there singing that "jump" song. A couple other rap bands were there too i think

Tell them Johnny Wadd was here

[scooter]

That's a tough one. I would have to say, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins & The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sept., 91' at the ROSELAND ballroom. also...Tenacious D August of 99' at Irving Plaza

[Heavy]

Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins & The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sept., 91'

Must of been cool seeing Pearl Jam right as they got big.......
If anyone knows a band called Fatal Array let me know. I saw them in Red Bank in an old theater and they rocked. I got a tape they threw to the crowd and to this day one of my favorite songs is " no less a man" They souns alot like Pantera.

Another show I saw was Cannibal Corpse in Asbury Park in 94. All I remember is "Asbury Park NJ is COVERED WITH SOOOOOORES!!!!!

[LatterYearsJimMorrison]

Im only 16, but definitely Bruce, July of 1999. Net Aid in November 99 was pretty hot too. It had, Wyclef, Dave Matthews, Everlast and a bunch of other people.

[Gwen]

I've seen tons of shows but I'd prolly have to say that my favorite was the summer of '99, Continental Airlines arena, Beastie Boys & Tribe Called Quest & MixMaster Mike.

We had floor seats for general admission and we go there early enough that we were right against the railing and I highfived all the dudes from Tribe and I was mere feet away From the love of my life, Mike D (not to be confused with Mikey D). He was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.

I had just graduated highschool and finally got to see a show I had been waitng since 8th grade to see.

Oh, and this concert was the last time that Tribe ever performed as a complete group.

Good times.

Oh yeah, but if I hadn't had a 102 fever and been deathly ill the Reelbig Fish/Goldfinger/Zebrahead/LooseNuts show that I missed prolly would have been the best.

<img src=http://robie.nine-zero.com:443/files/dynamitediva/gwennybear.jpg>

[jamesdiggy]

Coolest was Coyote Shivers at Coney Island High w/o the rest of the band just him, the mic and a guitar for an hour.

Oddest, yet cool, was about '91/92 at Goldfingers in Manhattan(yes there was one in Manhattan back then) Scatterbrain performed. And the whole time the girls never stopped dancing and no-one payed any attention to Scatterbrain. Tommy Christ is not a an attractive man.


Cake or Death? Uh, I'll have the cake please.

[Mettelhead]

The best concert that I ever went to was the first Tibet Freedom concert in San Francisco. It was a two day show at Golden Gate Park. Here's a quick list of bands that played:
Rage, Beastie Boys, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Beck, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest and The Fugees.

The other two that I went to in NYC and D.C. were pretty cool too.

I saw the Counting Crows at William Paterson College last fall. I was front and center for the entire show. I got to meet the entire band afterwards! They're my favorite band.

Radiohead at Liberty State Park was an awesome show too. Radiohead playing with the NY skyline as their background was so hypnotic and relaxing. They should have shows there every summer. It seemed pretty convenient for both NY and NJ. I'd rather go there than the Arts Center.

Beastie Boys an Rollins Band at Roseland somewhere around 94/95. Both groups tore it up that night.

Every single RAGE show that I've been to!!!!

[CrazyClare]

oh Gwen i LOVE tribe. Best show.. the Roots this past summer in Philly. It was an xgames function for the atheletes so it was in a tiny club. Jaguar showed up and sang. I swear to god it was so good i almost cried.. it was a religious experience. after the show i hung out with hub the bassist for half an hour! amazing

[PmTick]

My favorite was NIN at the Garden a couple summers ago. Perfect Circle opened and Manson appeared during the encore of starfuckers inc.

I need to go to a show soon, haven't been to one since Pantera last year around this time.

[Dr. Klahn]

The best show I've ever seen was Nov 15, 2001. Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band, at MSG. The croud was on fire for the whole 3 hour show.

Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes. <br><br>You have our gratitude.

[CovDiesel]

The best concert I have seen was in Statan Island NY... Pearl Jam... absolutely mind blowing.. soo many people... and such good music... it started to poor and Eddie Vedder said, "In Florida, if it rained like this everyone would go home... but not you motherfuckers... to you this is nothing."

Good times..

Dave Matthews in the summer of 1996 was my first concert at the Garden State Arts center.. I was in the 3rd row or some shit.. it was cool..

Lots of good concerts..

[mrbungle]

Befoire I forget, Beastie Boys with Rollins Band at Roseland was 1992, and the Beasties didn't make it back till the Ill Communication tour '95...

my favorite was the summer of '99, Continental Airlines arena, Beastie Boys & Tribe Called Quest & MixMaster Mike.

I actually took vacation from work at the time to go to all 3 area Beasties shows, and the Continental Airlines arena show was awesome...I just can't remember if it was at that show or the Garden show the night before where Q-Tip came up through the stage during the Beasties set to do "Get It Together"...amazing...

On a related note, KRS-1 did the Nassau Coliseum show of that tour and su-hu-hucked...

[Heavy]

Suicidial Tendencies/Danzig/Soul Asylum at Orange County raceway was pretty cool.

Missy did you leave that show a Danzig fan or was he too "creepy" for you.
Another band I passed up when I was a kid was Rollins. Never forgive myself.
Finally I can't believe not a one Greatfull Dead post. Is noone on this board even as old as thier mid-20's??????

[Knowledged_one]

I saw Rage Against the Machine and Wu-Tang When they were on tour together, (actually i saw the last show they did before the tour ended because of a fight between wu tang and a rage road guy)
I saw the beastie boys and tribe called quest in amsterdam on April 20th---and you know that was killer
plus the smoking grooves tour over the 3 years they had it with among others: George Clinton, Ziggy Marley, Cypress Hill, Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes and the roots.
And last summer i either saw the warped or twisted tour with: Moby, Outkast, Nelly Furtado, the Roots, Paul Okenfeld and some other raver bands

Hello everybody

[Dan]

I was also at that MTV beach party thing in 91 I was there. Kris Kross and Das FX. What the fuck was a 12 year-old white boy like myself doing there, I don't know. The skateboarders were cool. Hiding behind a dumpster with 2 other 12 year-old white boys during the 'riots' wasn't.

Oh, and Gwen, I saw Reel Big Fish/Goldfinger etc at Convention Hall and the sound sucked so bad it was unbearable, if that makes you feel better.

http://members.aol.com/rnfpantera/dansig1

[Gwen]

I just can't remember if it was at that show or the Garden show the night before where Q-Tip came up through the stage during the Beasties set to do "Get It Together"...


It was the night before at the Garden that they did get it together. I was so pissed cause I love that song. How ever it rocked pretty f'n hard at continental when Biz came out and sang Benny & the Jets.

<img src=http://robie.nine-zero.com:443/files/dynamitediva/gwennybear.jpg>

[PmTick]

I saw that Beasties show at continental too with Q-tip it kicked ass. I was kinda pissed they brought up the bombings we did earlier that week though but it's the Beasties so I guess it goes with the it. I would have liked to see them with Rollins, that sounds awesome.

Something really cool happened at a Dave Matthews concert I went to a few summers back at Giants Stadium. I know I went from Rollins to Matthews I listen to everything. Before I get into it can anyone tell me why they are regarded as a great live band? It's one of the worst shows I ever went to. Some guy played the flute for half an hour!!

Anyways towards the end of the night everyone had their lighters in the air and a few gusts of wind overtook the stadium during the encore, blowing out the flames. The effect though looked like sequends flashing or sparkles. Really cool looking.

[mrbungle]

Mr. Bungle,

Sorry for the goof, I'll try to do better with my fact checking in the future.

As well you should ;)

I went to Smokin' Grooves '98...UNREAL! Public Enemy (my fave), Cypress Hill, Busta Rhymes and (unfortunately) Wyclef. PE was incredile, I wish they'd tour more often.
