Live Music Shows
I went to see Flogging Molly at the Sacramento Radison Hotel tonight. I love that band. Nothing goes together quite as well a moderately angry Irish music and The Clash-type punk rock. And seeing them outside was great.

I went and saw my good friends' band last night Savannah. Hardcore/Metal group, really good show. Only problem was I was right next to one half of the PA and now I have savage ringing in just my right ear.

I was thinking I'll have to remember to stand to the left next show to make sure I keep my hearing loss balanced.
No sir, this wasn't the Black Panthers band, mostly white guys, one native. No black.

Last live show I saw was Ozzfest 2003:
Ozzy Osbourne, KoЯn, Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Chevelle were on the main stage.
I think that met my quota for a few years.

Smashing Pumpkins was one of the best musical performances I've ever seen on stage. Rush is incredible, too.

If they're anywhere as good as they were when I saw them it would be worth the price of admission. They were a relatively new band when I saw them though so there's no guarantee.

I always wanted to see those guys (EDIT: Smashing Pumpkins) but missed the one chance I had.
I missed IRON MAIDEN this summer - I don't know if I'll ever quite forgive myself for that... or for missing Rush, again.

Bruce was singing as far as I know. I missed them in Vancity, but my buddy caught them in Edmonton and said they were great.

It also looks as if they have kept Adrian Smith's replacement as a third guitarist now that Adrian is back.

With the way those guys layer guitar harmonies on recordings they could probably use five or six guitarists up on stage with them.Freakzilla wrote:Looks like he's back as the frontman:Omphalos wrote:Who sings for Iron Maiden now? I heard that Bruce Dickinson cant sing any more.

I loved SP until I saw them live. Billy Corgan was being an asshole the whole time. The highlight of the night was when someone spat a big green gooba onto his t-shirt
Maybe it was just a bad night? I think they self destructed not too long after

Like I said, I saw them early on. Everyone has their bad nights. This is kind of a reunion tour for them, isn't it? Didn't they just get back together for their last record?

I live in Canada, and the closest place that's a sort of music 'mecca' where most artists visit is Montreal, which is a couple hours away, so I rarely get the actual 'good' bands without making a moderate trip out of it. BUT I did get lucky a few times and saw some great shows!
- Iron Maiden, back in 2003 or 2004. Very cool show, was worth the 3 hour bus drive there, shitty opening act, and the almost-missed-the-last-bus-of-the-night-back-home 3 hour ride home.
- Matthew Good/Matthew Good Band, multiple times throughout the years. He actually comes to Ottawa rather frequently, and I used to go see him every time he came, but I find his newer stuff to be ok at best, so I don't see him every time anymore.
- Dream Theater. THIS was a real treat. Saw them twice, both in the same year, once in Montreal and once they actually came to Ottawa (first time ever, and they haven't been back since ). These guys played 3.5-4 hour shows each time, and blew my socks off.
And a bunch of other famous canadian artists I saw when I was just a wee lad, when I couldn't really appreciate them. Oh well.
And that stuff about Maiden... was that recent? Because I remember reading about that, but that was many years ago! 8)

Been years since I've seen a live show of any major act. Usually it's just some local thing. Saw U2 a few years back, The Tea Party and recently caught a show by Broken Social Scene.

Is there some kind of difference between a live show and a concert?
Can't remember what years they were, but I've seen Momus with Poison Girlfriend, Eric Clapton, Sting, and kd lang in Tokyo. FWIW.

I deleted some of your posts because they were derailing the topic and not focusing on the issues asked, and instead going after the authors or their material. That's why. ~ BM
