What was your favorite concert experience?

In light of the Ariana Grande concert horror, I thought it would be good if we talked about positive concert experiences.
Terrorism is about making people scared, so if we can continue to stay positive in spite of what they are trying to take away from us, it's a way of fighting terrorism.

What was your favorite concert experience?

U2 on St. Patrick's Day in Boston. 1992. I can't even begin to explain how amazing that experience was.

What was your favorite concert experience?

New Kids on the Block. I was 8 years old. Nassau Colliseum

What was your favorite concert experience?

Pearl Jam at Fenway. I have seen them so many times but the 2 Fenway nights definitely ranked up there as 2 of the best.

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

Bruno Mars!

My girlfriend and I had nosebleed seats at The Barclay Center. And about 20 mins before he came on stage someone from either his group or the arena (don't remember which one) came to our section and pointed to us asking if we wanted floor seats. We thought it was a scam but he showed us ID and the tickets and walked us right down to the floor. 8th row! Best show ever!!

What was your favorite concert experience?

Foo Fighters - Dec 2014 - Secret Sonic Highways Show - Irving Plaza, NYC. A full Foo show with only 500 of your closest friends.

Avatar - Sept 2016 - Big Shots, Valparasio Indiana. I was 3 feet from the lead guitarist. There were no annoying people around. When I left I had such adrenaline I was shaking.

Avatar - May 2017 - Saint Vitus, Brooklyn. Such a great venue, and since the setup was different they did a lot of different things than usual.

Oh wow, so hard!!! I go to a dozen or more concerts a year. Some great ones were Metallica, Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Lillith Fairs, Stone Temple Pilots. Too hard to pick just one!

What was your favorite concert experience?

As a child: New Kids on the Block at the Coliseum. It was so exciting to be there with just my friends and no grown ups and I was sooo in love with them!
As a young person: Barenaked Ladies with Guster; both were a phenomenal live experience.
As an old person: Pentatonix: what a mind-blowing show with no band, dancers, special effects.

Florida Georgia Line - I won tickets to an album release party at I heart radio theatre in the city. first row and 100 people in the room. It was amazing!

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

It was so much fun, so much better than Madonna who I had seen a few weeks earlier.

I was 19.

Peter Gabriel 1986 at Giants Stadium
Duran Duran 1987 at MSG, I had floor seats and was standing on my chair to see them. What hotness.

Most recently, Luke Bryan at MSG. Damn, can that boy sing and holy hotness, he's got some guns.
Il Volo at Radio City.

I have eclectic taste in music.

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

No one is going to be surprised by my list.

Pearl Jam closing out the Spectrum in Philly, 2009. Halloween weekend. Amazing shows, awesome party atmosphere, just so much fun. People in costume. Friend caught Jeff's guitar pick and gave it to me.

Temple of the Dog, MSG, November 2016. Will be forever etched in my mind as the last time I saw Chris Cornell in concert. He sounded so damn good that I cried.

Pearl Jam, Irving Plaza, 2006. Waited 30++ hours in line for tickets, worth every second. Amazing to see them in a small club.

PJ20 festival, September 2011 in Wisconsin. Loads of fun, Pearl Jam + Queens of the Stone Age + Mudhoney. Rain. Mud. Beer. Friends. Awesome weekend for the most part!

L7, Tower Records, 199? - not sure of the year. 96? 97? Anyway. I loved them so much and they did and in-store concert and signing and I got to talk to them and OMG my heart still races at how badass it all was.

Soundgarden, Jones Beach, 2011. Finally fulfilled a dream of seeing them in concert. I think a lot of people from here were at the show too.

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

Ed Sheeran's first concert at MSG. He was in awe the whole night, it was so cute.

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

It's so hard to pick!!!

Prince - Jones Beach late 90's (maybe 1997) and again
at MSG in 2004 - both concerts were just amazing. I wasn't a huge fan until I saw him live for the first time (the Jones Beach show) and I was blown away by his talent. Such a shame that he's gone.

The Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary concert at MSG the night before 9/11 - for so many reasons. MJ was great in person, but holy cr@p the Jackson 5 blew me away!!!!!!!

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

I have not gone to many concerts and almost all of them have been recently.

Right now I am torn to choose between P!nk and Zac Brown Band.

P!nk I am 90% positive song live and it was great concert with all their moves.

Zac Brown Band sounds awesome live. I am going to see them for the 4th year in the row come July.

Also I thought Eminem was pretty freaking great when I saw him with Jay Z at Yankee stadium but the other 2 def. Beat him out.

Going to see NKOTB in july I have been dying to see them since I was kid; though I doubt its going to be my favorite now but maybe it would have been if I got to see them back then

I am also going to see Ed Sheeran in October we got floor seats I have never sat floor seats anywhere so I am pretty excited for that

Re: What was your favorite concert experience?

Oh Goodness - Memorable (but not favorite) was my very first concert in the 80's .. i think i was under 10 - Jack Wagner at Westbury... I cried through the whole thing (a good cry) - but I do remember it!

Favorite - there were two... 7 years ago seeing DMB at Bethel was awesome.

Then last year seeing Billy Joel. We got tickets from a friend in like row 17...but my DH's good friend works at MSG - and we got pulled to 3 rows before the stage - totally awesome!


I'd love to see Pink and Adele too...
