Music Concerts

Have you been to any concerts? If so, who did you go see? How was the experience? Do you plan to go to more in the future?

I've only been to see little bands here and there, no one I genuinely wanted to see. I think the biggest band I've ever seen live was Skillet, back in my emo days. Lmao.

My to-attend concert list, however, is quite extensive:

Panic! at the Disco
Ellie Goulding
Marina and the Diamonds
Lana Del Rey
Fall Out Boy


and quite a few more that I know I'm overthinking right now.

I love music, but I've only been to one concert;

Night Ranger/REO Speedwagon/STYX. Was incredible. At the end all three bands came out and it was a sonic assault of guitars as they played "Can't Stop Rockin'", a song they wrote just for the tour.

I have seen

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die
The Hotelier
The Mountain Goats
Modest Mouse (twice)
Ween (by accident) (only caught half the set)
Brand New

and I'm seeing The Mountain Goats again in November (in North Carolina inexplicably) and I'm hoping to see The Radio Dept. in March.

My concert list isn't nearly as big as it should be. It's been one of my goals to see more live musical acts :)

Aerosmith - Age 12
Christina Aguilera - Age 15
Aerosmith - Age 16
Aerosmith - Age 19
Slash & Myles Kennedy - Age 20
Imagine Dragons - Age 23
Beyonce - Age 24
Jenny Lewis - Age 25

I'm glad I've seen Aerosmith 3 times, they have such a fun stage presence. Imagine Dragons was literally a spiritual experience THEY WERE SO GOOD LIVE. I still get chills thinking about Amsterdam. Then Jenny Lewis was everything I could have hoped for and more <3

I went to see Simple Plan several years ago, and it was the best night of my life. Mostly because they have always been one of the bands that helped me through a lot. I even got to meet Pierre from Simple Plan! <3

However, I can't go to concerts anymore because of the amount of noise. It saddens me since I would give absolutely anything in the world to meet Jack Barakat. He is my hero, and I just... meh.

I'd gone to see Coheed and Cambria twice; the second time being their anniversary tour for the second album. It rained for the majority of the album, and we all sang proudly through it. We were all soldiers that night. X3

I saw The Dear Hunter last year. We got there early, so we went to the counter at the bar. I ended up meeting band frontman Casey and bassist Nick because I didn't know where the restroom was and had to ask someone. XD;;;;;;

I've been to a few. Ellie Goulding, Florence + the Machine (twice), Loreena Mckennitt, and a few weeks ago I went to a Perfume concert. There have been some others but I can't remember them at the moment.

Generally they've been good experiences regarding the music, and a less than thrilling experience regarding the audience. Really, being around so many people you're bound to run into someone who's too loud or smells funny or steps on your feet.
