Well I would be here forever if I listed everyone, so I will just say That the first concert I ever went to was Offspring back in the summer of 94, it was pretty much before anyone outside San Fran knew who they were. Great show, with huge pits.

Hehe... where I come from, "concerts" are like that scene in "Deliverance" w/the banjo player... Lol!! :D :D

When I lived in Seattle though, just saw a few, but some of my favs:

Pearl Jam
Tori Amos
Radiohead

And let me say this: Pearl Jam rock pretty hard - you'd be hard-pressed to argue otherwise... But Tori rocked so hard, Pearl Jam were Grandpas sitting in rocking chairs on the back porch tryin' to keep their dentures in during an afternoon nap compared to her... ;)

[Topher]

My fiance works for Universal and until she got that job I had only been to a couple of gigs. But now I get to go to loads, she has really different music taste to me too (she likes country) so I get to take my mates with me! :)

Bon Jovi (I was 16 years old) :)
Manics
Beck
Morcheeba (x2)
Sum41
Stereo MCs
Paul Weller
Skunk Anansie
Ocean Colour Scene (x2)

Best I can do bragging wise is to say that I was drinking alone in an "Irish" pub in Bucharest, Roumania when I ran into the Led Zepelin (well Plant and Page these days) road crew. Spent the evening boozing and clibbing with them :cool: and got a back stage pass for the band the next night :D

Pretty damn awesome, if my memory still serves me well'ish. It was back in 1989 - saw them at the Palais D'Omnisports in Bercy, Paris (a venue worthy in itself...) Name of the tour escapes me just at the mo, 'cos I was a little stoned at the time... :rolleyes: It was definitely was one of the best concerts I've been to, tho' - the scale of everything was just huge and the sound quality was overwhelming! At that wasn't just because of the drugs either... :D
