While attending the totally-awesome Chevelle concert yesterday night, I thought that a good idea for a topic would be to have everyone talk about their concert experiences (if any). So, what concerts have you been to? Who played there/how well did they play? What was it like there? Were there people holding candles or people flying in the air and moshing (like where I went)? Did you enjoy it? Would you recommend that band to anyone? Please talk about your concert experiences here.
So far, I've been to about three real concerts with nationally-/internationally-recognized bands: Soundgarden (before they were popular and when I was really young), George Thorogood, and Chevelle. Every concert was great. I can't remember much about the Soundgarden concert except that my dad, a friend of his, and I were searching for our other friends who were no where to be found. We walked through a big crowd, and I remember that it was loud enough for me to want to cover my ears (I was young at the time). At the George Thorogood concert, people were moving around with the beat of the music, drinking, and having a great time, and I was, too. It was an awesome concert, and my official first real rock band concert in my mind. At the Chevelle concert, moshing was going on up front as the band thrashed. People were crowd surfing and everything, and I even saw a guy get carried out of the place by two of his buddies (serves them right, I say, as I'm not a big supporter of the ideas of moshing). The concert was great and very loud, but that made it all the better.
Now that I have dwelled on the topic a little, why don't you?
