What was your first /best concert?

First: Belle & Sebastian / Sleater-Kinney

Best... tch. Depends on what criteria I'm using. Jandek blew my f---ing mind and is unlike anything else I've ever experienced, The Mountain Goats (the second time) was incredibly fun and John played a song I requested, Augie March was really intimate cos I was one of like... 2 (of the 20) people in the audience who knew their songs, so we just sort of hung out with them while and after they played... I dunno one of those three.

Haha my dad loves Smokie too, your absolutely right. Man, their songs just stick with you forever.

First: Tool 2001 Lateralus tour. One of the last gigs at Perth Entertainment Center before they Tore it down.

Best: Toss up Between Pearl jam bout 3-4 years ago and QOTSA at Metro's in Perth (only holds 5000-7000, 3 storeys and your right on the ****ing Stage!) was bedlam.

Most Recent: Festivals aside, Pearl jam supported by Ben Harper. a few months ago. I like Eddie was way to drunk, a spliff I had just before they came on had me over the edge... Hardly remember it. Eddie was so drunk he forgot the lyrics to I Am Mine and had to start again. Classic night... I think

First: Bon Jovi Concert (surprisingly enjoyable)

Best: Bedouin Soundclash concert, right up at the front, they had such energy and I could tell they were just having a blast on stage which I enjoyed.

Most Recent: Nine Inch Nails.

Hopefully the next concert I will be attending (MUSE!) will take over as my favourite concert.

Best concert was the blink 182 reunion concert I went to last august... first concert was simple plan

My first concert was The Allman Brothers, in Nashville, and there's nothing quite like old Tennessee ladies in halter tops screaming, "Play Ramblin' Man!" to introduce you to the world of live music.

Best was last month, when I saw Buddy Guy (and BB King) at Ryman Auditorium. It was like being at church... And if that's a sermon I could hear for the rest of my life, I would be devoutly religious.

First: Some random blues festival I got taken to by my parents ca. 1993 or so. I have no idea how it was but I definitely scored a cool toy out of it.

Best: Three-way tie between Meat Puppets, Queens of the Stone Age, and surprisingly this random neosoul group called the Blue Method.

Both Meat Puppets and Queens put on fantastic shows but horrifyingly enough there wasn't any energy to the crowd whatsoever. To be frank they were both awful venues but I was rather embarrassed being the only under-40 guy in front to see the Puppets perform. Queens performed incredible versions of early material (Better Living Through Chemistry being one of them), Homme was actually pissed the crowd wasn't more endearing.

Most Recent: Enjoyable Dr. Dog show a few weeks ago that I got dragged to by a friend, but at the expense of school I'm missing Alcest, the Hold Steady and the Church later this month. FML.

This is amazing! I've never seen Buddy Guy, but I've seen BB King a couple times and he always blows the crowd away. I've actually seen people run up to the stage and bow before him. Insanity. And he seems like such a lovable, laid back guy.
