What big name bands have you seen live

The only concert that I've been to had
Snoop Dogg
Korn
Linkin Park

The Tour was led by Linkin Park, called Projekt Revolution, if some of you have heard it. There was also Less Than Jake and The Used, but they aren't necessarily big name bands (to me. Please don't flame me if you like them)
The awesome thing about the concert was that they were in Bonner Springs, KS (about 50 miles from where I live) on August 24th, one day before my birthday, and Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands.
 
rush, breaking benjamin, oh and of course blue man group lol.
 
Metallica, The Strokes, Sonic Youth- that's about it- NZ dont get many good acts
 
Red Hot Chillis Peppers-after my last GCSE great celebration
Velvet Revolver
Greenday
Audioslave-6th June
Rammstein-if i can afford the ticket
 
Oasis (will have seen them 4 times in July)
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
The Coral
The Doves
The Happy Mondays (they were shit)
The Charlatans
Proud Mary
The Stands
 
U.S.E
Bloc Party
AC Newman
Arcade Fire
Kanye West
Wilco
Modest Mouse
THE PIXIES

All of the above have been awesome. Arcade Fire though was my favorite, though. That band is absolutely insane on stage. Of course, seeing the Pixies was a semi-religious experience as well.

Yeah, it's nice living 3 hours from the Gorge, one of the nicest venues in the country let alone the world.

But yeah, Arcade Fire is rediculous. The red-haired-napoleon-dynamite lookalike guy at one point put on a nappy red helmet and started playing the rhythm on his head while screaming and climing scaffolding, and then started hitting his bandmates with the beat. Plus they sound amazing, which is a plus. Stage presense is only half the battle...

The Pixies...wow. Their set was soooo jam packed with songs...absolutely no down time between tracks. Plus the band is just so cool looking...The female bass player was just smoking and jamming and then she'd sing...what a beautiful voice she has. They did some slight variations on Bone Machine and Where is My Mind?, and came out with Debaser for the encore. I'm a huge Doolittle fan, if you didn't notice.

Yeah, Wilco was spot on. They sounds almost too good in concert, plus almost all of their songs end in absolute chaos, which makes for an exciting show. Modest Mouse...what can I say, they put on a ****in' good show. I've heard from friends that sometimes they're too inebriated to even perform, but they were amazing the night I saw them. They played quite a few old songs, which I was hoping for. Doing the Cochroach and 3rd Planet were memorable highlights. When Isaac Brock went over to his keyboard and played World At Large, the entire crowd busted out their zippos and let them burn. It was a sweet experience, for sure.

But anyway, Interpol is awesome. I havn't seen them live, but I absolutely adore, "Turn Out The Bright Lights". Antics is alright as well. Definately check that out man. I'm actually heading to a Presidents of the USA concert this Saturday...not really a huge name band(For those of you not familiar with them, they sing the "millions of peaches" song), but they put on EXCELLENT shows. They're the only band I've seen that ad-libs new songs for every concert.

Let me know how Interpol goes. Hopefully they'll make a trek to the Pacific Northwest soon.
 
will do, hope 'turn on the bright lights' features more than 'Antics'- although antics is not a bad album.

less than jake

i might be seeing boston/rolling stones final concert in a few weeks
 
I just saw the Presidents of the USA tonight. They were ****in' amazing! If anyone's not familiar with them, they're the band that sing the "millions of peaches" song. They just seemed super cool and were completely personal with the audience. Definately worth checking out if they're in town, one of my favorite concerts ever.
