Ok I was very confused by Skip's videos until I realized he somehow broke the youtube embed and it was just showing my own suggestions.

First concert for me was Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me tour. Opening group was Queensryche.

I think my first concert was the Rolling Stones. I guess it was pretty good, didn't have anything to compare it to That was "only" 10 years ago or so. I regret not seeing more classic rock bands while they were still going, some of them were touring well into the 2010s.

Might have seen Chilliwack at an outdoor concert before that (Yes, in Chilliwack)

Oh, I still liked it, but not as much as I'd hoped to. Locomotion was awesome live.

I always think of this guy whenever I see you post

Saw flaming lips at a single day festival in NJ in high school.

Flaming Lips
Disco Biscuits
Medeski, Martin, and Wood
String Cheese Incident

After I watched 3 of my friends get arrested en route back to our hotel. One with shrooms which was a big deal, but they ended up losing some critical paperwork and it was tossed out.

Dylan came to college and one of my roommates, who engineered our creaky wooden loft, was a huge Dylan fan boy. I thought his mp3s sounded alright. So we went. I didn't know at the time that his lack of singing ability was part of the persona. So the rest of the year, whenever he would listening to BD, I'd shake the loft saying What!? I thought we fixed this thing

I'm watching it for the first time thanks to the H&I channel. It's fine, its reputation pretty much nailed it; not scifi as much as a drama shot in space.

Sigh. I've had this nickname since well before that show existed. Could be worse, though. I've seen perfectly normal names turn into jokes when someone who shares it does something remarkably stupid, e.g. Monica or Lorena.

Well that's better than picking a name hoping people assume you're a donkey and then not thinking through the consequences of also using that when you finally create a forum account

Garak is one of the all time great scifi characters for what it's worth

worst concert for me was DMB and Santana at the Vet. venue just wasn't good for concerts.

2nd worst was DMB a year or 2 later.

i literally stopped going to DMB concerts because those were the first 2 DMB concerts i went to and they were terrible. a buddy of mine who is really into DMB looked up the set lists and told me i just got unlucky that they were both shitty sets.

i still didn't go to another DMB concert for about 15 years until another buddy had an extra ticket and couldn't find anyone to take it. it was ok.

best concert is tricky.

saw The Black Crowes at the Electric Factory, which is like 2500 people capacity, during their By Your Side album tour, which is a very fun, up beat album. i was on the rail next to the giant stack of speakers. i couldn't hear out of my left ear for 3 days afterwards.

saw Metallica, Slipknot and Slayer. that was pretty awesome too. very odd crowd though.

saw A Perfect Circle in a really small venue in Asbury Park that was awesome.

roughest crowd i've ever been in was surprisingly when Filter was onstage at the 1st Rolling Rock Town Fair.


man i'm old, i used to go to concerts all the time and be on the rail for a lot of them. i haven't gone to a concert in a little while now.

Two best concerts I've attended were both at tiny venues with almost everyone there being a pretty big fan.

I saw Blue October at a resort in Cozumel that was part of a radio station-sponsored trip. There were maybe 100 people there and aside from a handful who won the trip on the radio station, it was all fans willing to book a trip to Mexico. The band broke out a bunch of their old stuff, there was room for dancing, etc. Not that I dance, but my wife and a few others did when they played one of their pre-label songs. It turns out the other people dancing with her were a couple of the band-members' wives.

We also saw The Fixx in a bar in Ames IA. They were supposed to play an outdoor arena in Des Moines, but there was a storm. Apparently the promoter owned a bar in Ames and said "we can move the show there," but not many people got the word, and/or weren't willing to drive to Ames. There were maybe 50 people at the show. The band came down off-stage (didn't even go to the back first) after the set and got drinks and hung out with those of us who made it. It was pretty cool.

First: Kiss (think it was 77 or 78)

Most Recent: Blink-182

Best: Bob Mould in a theater of about 500. Played unplugged and then said "You want to rock these last few ****ing songs?" Plugged in and just destroyed

2nd Best: The Connells played a bar when I was in college after their actual concert in the student center. There were maybe 150 people there and they just jumped on stage and played 8-10 songs

Worst: The Wiggles with my kids

Next show: Just bought tix to see Alanis and Garbage next summer

Most want to see: Will never be able to see Bowie or Talk Talk which are two of my all time faves. So I'll say Kate Bush though she doesn't tour.

Think Dando/Lemonheads toured recently and I was thinking of going. Gave a quick listen to his more recent stuff and didn't like anything so I passed. Definitely wish I saw him during his Shame About Ray / Come On Feel / Car Button Cloth days.

Lol'ed.

Saw Dave Matthews, Tim Theriault and John Popper do a show at UCONN in 98 or 99 (i think) in a 200ppl room... was OK...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

You'd think he could at least offer 5 Guys... so to speak.

Nice!

Also no self respecting gay man is eating Arby’s, unless he was making a “I have the meats!” Joke

Lol

GG this was when car button cloth was new. I had no idea they were still touring, you should go. I don't remember much of it but it was a good time. You should go, especially if you were a fan.

Regarding DMB, I've heard from a lot of people that have been to a lot of shows that they have a very wide range of outcomes from terrible to ok to best concert if their life. Never saw them live but knowing I have a decent chance for a bad outcome I'd still happily go to one of their shows.

Especially want to see them live after watching ladybird, I got unreasonably emotional watching that film when it showed them listening to dmb

And it continues. First session this month, gii with 72% equity and lose

On the plus side, I talked the table into a round of Crazy Pineapple.

NH; WP.

Since we're sharing bad beat story, denominations are in hkd so 35k is only 4.5k usd

I think I'm 2-1 in hands where an underpair goes runner-runner -> quads to beat a higher set. But they were boring hands with checked flops and short stacks.

standard value ship with 4 high from V. fold pre rick.

First show without parents- 311

Was 14 and probably 85 pounds. Went crowd surfing, got dumped on my head onto the concrete floor. Had a blast.

Best show - Radiohead in a torrential downpour

2nd best show - Rock the Bells 2006 iirc. Have been to 3 RTB shows. Was front row in the standing section. When method man and red man came on they jumped off the stage right on top of my friend and I. Was pretty ****ing cool.

Worst show- probably the last Bone Thugs show I saw. Pretty standard for them:

They showed up 2 hours late. People were drunk and raging. 2 fist fights breakout as they’re coming on. One lady turns in our direction and projectile vomits while running out. Thankfully she missed us. Bone plays 4 songs and walks off the stage as a 3rd fight erupts.
