[WhiteSteve]

Christ, more than I can probably remember at this point. I’ll give it a try though, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you the specific tours for most of them. These will probably start out with recent ones fresh in my mind, and other random ones will pop up from the past, haha….

I.; Fat Joe; De La Soul; Digable Planets; Camp Lo; Blink-182; LiI Wayne; Future; Meek Mill; Young Jeezy; Korn; Chevelle; Taking Back Sunday; Wu-Tang Clan; Cypress Hill; Long Beach Dub All-Stars; Beenie Man; Common; Blackstar (Talib Kweli & Mos Def); KRS-One; Blackalicious; Aesop Rock; Del Tha Funkee Homo Sapien; Lynyrd Skynyrd; Roger Waters (of Pink Floyd); Wordsworth; Esoteric & 7L; Kool & The Gang; Earth, Wind, & Fire; Smashing Pumpkins; Phish; Dave Matthews Band; 311; The Offspring; Alice In Chains; The Pharcyde; The Main Ingredient; The Isley Brothers; The Beach Boys (both with Mike Love and with Brian Wilson); Paramore; Greta Van Fleet; Eminem; The Killers; Scott Stapp at a fair singing Creed songs lmfao (it was free, I stopped to check it out, sue me😂), Redman & Method Man; I’ve seen a bunch of the Wu-Tang guys solo: Ghostface Killah, Method Man, as I said before, and Cappadonna; I got to see Mike D while a DJ played Beastie Boys songs and he rapped his own verses live; Willie Nelson; Snoop Dogg; Warren G; Ice T; Eric B & Rakim; Naughty By Nature; and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few, but I’ll finish with my heaviest hitter (no pun intended but totally intended), the late, great Notorious B. I. G.🙏

[WhiteSteve]

Shit, I can’t forget Stevie Wonder. Legend.

[JustinTheGreat]

Wow you’ve been to a lot 😅
Would you be able to name your top 3 favorite shows?

[WhiteSteve]

Haha, yeah, I have. Although a few of these are either main event/opener combos I’m listing as separate, or music festivals where I saw a few different acts (although I generally just have a few artists targeted, usually, so I don’t go for the whole festival, I just time it out to hit who I want.

So…Top 3…tough one. Honestly, almost everyone has been really good, with only a couple exceptions. Hard to pick because I’ll feel like I’m leaving so much out, haha.

So, for straight up quality performance, Top 3 would be (no particular order):
The Roots (forget to mention them)
Roger Waters
Earth, Wind, & Fire

Top 3 Most Meaningful:
-Eminem (I’ve been down since before he blew up, it was huge to finally see him after all these years…. and he crushed a live rendition of Rap God, which is just an unbelievable feat)
-Brian Wilson (probably the worst performance, he can barely sing anymore, had to be helped on and off the stage, etc…but The Beach Boys are some of the first music I ever listened to as a small child, and I feel like their harmonies and their overall style just shaped my musical tastes from a very early age. “Surfer Girl” is, for my money, one of the greatest slow jams of all time, and this dude says “here’s the first song I ever wrote when I was 18”, and goes into fucking Surfer Girl, like “no big deal, first try…new high score? What does that mean? Did I break it?”😂 That blew my mind to smithereens.)
-Willie Nelson (I’m not big into country, but Willie is a living legend, and I was literally like 15 feet from him. He’s one of those guys that it’s just cool to say you saw him.)

[WhiteSteve]

Top 3 best times overall…. this is the toughest because I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad time at a concert.
-Wu-Tang Clan/Rage Against The Machine…summer ‘97, three days before I left for my freshman year of college, out in the pouring rain…. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so free in my life. You can never replicate that feeling of new-found freedom at 18.
-Dave Matthews Band in ‘03…. FINALLY closed with a hot chick I had been working on for a while. Didn’t think it was going to happen for me, but then she IMMEDIATELY jumped me the second we got through the security line and started making out with me, and I knew then and there that it was going to be one of those days I’d remember when I’m old, haha
-Taking Back Sunday…. medium-good performance, Adam Lazara’s voice is pretty cooked, but I just love their music, and they did the entirety of their first album which is a classic in my eyes. And I had a blast in the mosh fight, exchanged a few punches with one kid so that had me jacked up, lmao, and I made out with some random chick when I got out of it, so that was a pretty memorable experience, lmao. They’re coming around again soon but they’re an opener for 3rd Eye Blind, who don’t excite me that much, so I don’t know if I want my next TBS show to just be some 45 minute opening set after such a great time at the other show.

[WhiteSteve]

Also worth mentioning that I forgot to say I saw Busta Rhymes, and he was the doughiest performer I’ve ever seen. It was a free concert for students at me college, he was one of the acts, so it’s not like everyone sought him out, it was our big annual spring concert. So he’s up there doing his thing, and he starts giving the crowd shit for not singing along enough, and I’m like “bro…. you’re a speed rapper, no one actually knows your lyrics, so just do that thing you can do that we can’t, since you were paid to and all, and don’t be a douche about it.” But a douche he was, and he kept saying “I already got my check, I can just be out!” Fuckin’ go then, bro, lmao.

Also saw 50 Cent…. he was cool enough, but the sound sucked and his 30 hype men on stage drowned him out lmao. But it was cool because he just had the one album out so he did most of the songs.

[WhiteSteve]

*douchiest performer

“Doughiest performer” probably Fat Joe or Biggie Smalls lmfao

[Lliam]

The first concert I ever attended was Stevie Wonder opening for Sly and the Family Stone in 1970. A few weeks later, I saw Black Sabbath open for Grand Funk railroad. I saw Yes open for Deep Purple.

I went on to attend hundreds of concerts during that decade. Some were at auditoriums, arenas, college football stadiums and clubs.

I couldn't possible list all the groups I saw. But some highlights of bands that I saw at once or several times are Eric Clapton, Santana, ELO, James Taylor, Uriah Heep, The Who (with Keith Moon), Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, Neal Young, Heart, Jefferson Starship combined with all the Airplane members, Wings, Montros, Robin Trower, Rory Gallagher, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Whitesnake, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Kansas, Asia, Creedence Clearwater, the Greatful Dead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many, many more. I feel bad that I'm not recalling others at this moment.

[Lliam]

Bands that I saw many times include Jetho Tull, Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Yes, Pink Floyd, the Stones, ELP, Aerosmith, the Moody Blues, and Deep Purple.

Again, I'm barely scratching the surface.

[MORPHEUS_12]

AC/DC Ace Frehley Aerosmith Alice Cooper Alice in Chains Amon Amarth Anthrax Aveneged Sevenfold Barry Manilow Behemoth Black Sabbath Blue Oyster Cult Bon Jovi Bret Michaels Cannibal Corpse Charlie Daniels Cheap Trick Cinderella Collective Soul Creed Danzig Days of the New Def Leppard Dokken Drowning Pool Faster Pussycat Femme Fatale Firehouse Fleetwood Mac Foreigner Genesis Godsmack Gojira Great White Guns N' Roses Gwar Hatebreed Jack Russell's Great White Joan Jett Journey Kaleido Kid Rock Kiss Kix Korupt L.

[Amy10223]

I could not help but noitce that all your bands are in alphabetical order. Did you copy and paaste those from somewhere?

[Amy10223]

I have seen Phil Collins, Dave Matthews Band many times when he was just beginning to get famous, Jackson Browne, Weezer, Good Charlotte and AFI. The last three bands were when I took my girls who wanted to see them. Last two bands lost my hearing for awhile too.

I have not been to a concert in years. I was in Houston back in the 70s when Elvis Presley was in concert there. I watched Queen (with Freddy Mercury) twice. I was able to watch the Carpenters. I have seen Fleetwood Mac several times. Once in Europe. I enjoyed Pink Floyd minus, Roger Walters. This is the last concert I attended. I got really lucky and everything worked out. I was also able to get both Ann and Nancy Wilson's autographs that night!

And then Waterparks headlining with 2 others I also forget at the Wiltern Theater.

[EnglishEuropean]

Then recently this year to a christian song concert. Worth staying even though my mom was pushing me to leave because thunder storm and the show wasn't going to start... well LOOK AT THAT MOFO

[FreyaRed]

I'm not a big concert fan. Before covid I went to techno and electro festivals every year. One time I've been on Slipknot concert in Germany but it was boring.

[andreasderjuengere]

Nothing ''famous'' - I've been to a few ''festivals'' with life music. Local, or regional bands.

And each time I had a GOOD time. The ''big concerts'' don't attract me much; it's just too commercial.

[Bambalicious]

Oldies when I was 5 (almost 30 years ago and it was oldies when I went). Went with my grandma and it was the only one I’ve ever been to. 😂
