TPDave Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I went and saw Muse over the weekend in London, still the best live act out there in my opinion. Absolutely stunning show! The show was really well designed to get as many people as possible close to the band throughout the evening. They performed from three different places in the stadium and had some really cool set pieces and story lines running throughout! You know, just someone hanging about under a gigantic lightbulb. Robots and fire. Standard. We were quite close to Matt. It was a pretty good crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the All State Arena last December. Three hours of great music and crazy pyrotechnics. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Went to see Rancid last week. It was loud, moshing, cup throwing, crowd surfing entertainment. Â Last night we went to see my friends band My Gold Mask along with California Wives. My 9 friends and i were Really impressed with My GoldMask (my friends band). theyve got some 80s souixie feel to their sound. They are doing a rather lengthy tour right now and I'd suggest seeing them when they roll through your city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Saw Rush last night in Hamilton. They played a VERY long set that encompassed pretty much everything from their catalog. The concert was broken down into two halves. The first was mainly a lot of their older stuff, while the second was entirely from Clockwork Angels (with the exceptions of YYZ and Spirit of Radio at the end). For encores, they played Tom Sawyer and 2112. Â It was a great show and the crowd was SUPER into it. Then again, Hamilton is Neal Peart's hometown, so it was guaranteed to be loud.

PKI Jizzman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Summerfest in Milwaukee! Â Saw Styx, Hot Sauce Committee, Empire of the Sun, Youngblood Hawke. Â Empire of the Sun put on a great elaborate, highly involved and set up show. Almost a copy of their show at the Sydney Opera House. Amazing. BEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR Youngblood Hawke! Milwaukee by the bay Empire of the Sun! Styx, Tommy Shaw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Last concert I attended was Breakbot + Kavinsky last summer in Dijon (eastern French city). I must say Breakbot did an awesome set with pretty visual effects. Â Next concert is The Postal Service tomorrow night in Paris ! Â Â NO WAY. Kavinsky is my favorite. I loved the first album and I thought Outrun was absolutely fantastic. Wow. I know I won't be able to see Kavinsky outside of France...when and if I get there I'll have to find where he's touring.

mightypotato Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Went to the Rockstar Mayhem Festival yesterday in Toronto. I was actually a bit surprised it was still going on because of the floods and general strain on the power grid, but nothing stops metal. Â There was a alot of music to be found yesterday and I greatly took advantage of it. I caught sets from Huntress, Battlecross, Job for a Cowboy, Machine Head, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Mastodon, Five Finger Death Punch and Rob Zombie. So...yeah. It was a VERY long day. Â The highlights of the show were Amon Amarth and Rob Zombie. Amon Amarth are pretty much my favourite band, so I was guaranteed to love them. Though I haven't been a big fan of his recent albums, Rob Zombie still puts on one hell of a show. It was among the best sets I've ever seen, full of crazy props, stage effects and pyro. I also got the chance to meet both Amon Amarth and Battlecross while they were at their merch tents. I may or may not have gone into fanboy mode. Â Anyway, here are some pictures from a crazy long, but crazy good day. Â Huntress! Â Battlecross! Â Job for a Cowboy! Â Amon Amarth! Â Mastodon! Â Five Finger Death Punch! Â Rob Zombie!

mike541x Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Warped Tour at Merriweather. There were a lot of band but I got to see Tonight Alive, I See Stars, 3OH!3, Motion City Soundtrack, August Burns Red, and Bring Me The Horizon. Never was a BMTH fan, but they put on an awesome show. Motion City and I See Stars were the main reasons I went. Tonight Alive was a somewhat new band from Sydney, and apparently we were the biggest crowd they pulled on the tour so far, which I thought was pretty cool. Overall it was a great day.

LJGoBlue Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 My last concert was Dillo Day at Northwestern University. Dillo Day is a Northwestern tradition dating back to the seventies and this year's Dillo Day was my first as the past school year was my freshman year at Northwestern. The "Dillo" refers to the armadillo, as Dillo Day is the annual celebration of the armadillo (I guess Dillo Day was started by some kids from Texas back in the day). This year's lineup included Walk The Moon, Danny Brown, Smash Mouth, Lunice (who unfortunately was rained out), and Wiz Khalifa. All in all it was an extremely fun day full of lots and lots of partying (on a much, much larger scale than normal for "Nerdwestern") and great music! It was a great warm up for Lollapalooza, which I'll be attending in a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Björk. Tonight. Toronto. I have never seen anything like it...  This will sum it up: 2 MASSIVE tesla coils suspended in a cage no more than 10 feet above Björks head, fed by a midi controller that turns the electronic music into electrical currents which in turn produce REAL lightning bolts... all-in-all creating the basslines for her tracks.  I have seen a lot of shows, and this was HANDS down the craziest, most incredible performance I have ever seen. She sang dry, for just over 2 hours, and didn't miss a note.  http://instagram.com/p/b2bE3_QIpS/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how they're technically based in AZ but have been accepted as honorary Massholes thanks to Al and Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Pearl Jam at Wrigley Field. I'll write up a review for sometime Monday, as I am on my way out to see Phish at Northerly Islands tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ape Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Killswitch engage on their dissarm the dissent tour. I wasn't planning on going because six months earlier I had seen them at their absolute best on the ten years of alive or just breathing anniversary tour, but I won free tickets. Concert was good but not great. I don't like the word alive or miss may I. Darkest hour was awesome as usual. Kse were good but it wasn't amazing like the previous tour. I would have enjoyed it better if as I lay dying were on it like they were supposed to be before Tim tried to off his wife and ruin everything.

ahhculdee Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) The last concert I was at, was the Chris Tomlin & Big Daddy Weave concert at FunFest back in July. Chris Tomlin portion of the concert was some of the most powerful worship 've ever experienced, BDW was great as well.

Blind Idiot God Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Last one as of now was Cattle Decapitation's offdate up in Burlington, VT. Been friends with Josh and Dave for a while now, so it was nice to actually see them again. The best part, however, was seeing them get a full-length set in front of a grateful audience, even if they did fail to play anything off of The Harvest Floor.

Athletekim Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Saw Bon Jovi at Metlife Stadium on July 25th. It was a great show about 2 3/4 hours with 2 encores!! Phil X did a great job covering for Richie Sambora. Jon was full of energy dancing, and jumping the only thing missing was Richie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCoaster Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I just got back from seeing Pet Shop Boys at House of Blues in Boston. It was a great show and a nice mix of classic and new music. I've been trying to see them for years and my schedule (or theirs in the case of the canceled show at the Hollywood Bowl that I had tickets for) just never worked out so it was great to finally get to see them live.

GayCoasterGuy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well this is nerdy I saw Gwar, Joan Jett and Danzig at Riot Fest in Chicago last friday. Very happy about that! They don't make em like they used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I saw Brad Paisley with Lee Brice at Darien Lake back in July... I'm not a fan of country music, but those guys put on a hell of a show (and you Americans definitely know how to tailgate party) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 On Thursday, I made my way to Toronto to check out Scorpion Child. In support were Mothership, Gypsyhawk, Wilson and Kadavar. The entire night was fan-freaking-tastic. The crowd was VERY small (100 people tops) which made for a very intimate feeling. It was a long show, but it was fully worth it. Â The next day, I drove back to Toronto for Nine Inch Nails in front of a crowd much bigger than 100 people. They always put on a great show and still have one of the best light packages I've ever seen. Fully worth the money. Â Here are some photos from the shows! Â Mothership! Â Gypsyhawk! Â Wilson! Â Kadavar! Â Scorpion Child! Â Nine Inch Nails! Â Next up will be Arkona on Halloween! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
