No way! I haven't seen that dude since about '88? After that day, we used to try and catch them as often as possible. That was the first time I had seen Christ live and they were fun to hang out with.H8R said:

i saw gwar on halloween about, damn, 14 years ago? has it been that long? sheesh.
I stick mostly to local venues - but top 5 have to be (in random order):
Sound Garden, Faith No More, Viovod at the Paradise in Boston (Viovod was the headliner?!?!?)
Danzig at the Channel in Boston
Mike Ness (without Social D.) at the Met Cafe (I think) in Providence, RI
Local boys - Tree, Berzerker, Temporary Insanity (plus some other local bands) and Ugly Kid Joe in Brockton - only say that b/c a brawl erupted and 'Ugly Kid Joe' got their asses kicked...
Celia Cruz at the Orpheum in Boston. Ever seen 20 security guards try and stop a couple thousand Latins from dancing - F'ing hysterical!

I was right up in the front row and there was this hot girl next to me. She was all about getting sprayed in the face and t!ts and she was clearing getting all horn'd up from it. Great show.Zark said:Good call, I totally forgot about how bad ass they were live.

I haven't been to many shows but back in Nov. I saw Dropkick Murphys, they put on a fantastic show. Two weeks ago I saw Flogging Molly in Boston, that too was a lot of fun. Tonight I'm going to see NOFX in Worcester, I can't wait.
I have never seen Mike Ness without Social D. But I have seen Social D more than any other band. I like his solo stuff, but he's best with Social D. fo so. I have seen the 3 times in Portland aloneSlugman said:
Stevie Ray Vaughn, saw him both wasted and clean and sober. Both times, finest live show ever.
Van Halen, best arena rock ever
Circle Jerks, best big ticket Punk show
Webb Wilder, best show from a guy you have never heard of.

Well he/they didn't get out to the east coast that much, and when they did - it was bigger venue. This venue was small and there were less than 100 people. Felt like a private show. I'm sure he wasn't too thrilled - but the audience was stoked.jimmydean said:I have never seen Mike Ness without Social D. But I have seen Social D more than any other band.

Dropkicks are coming here at the end of the month. If I am still here,and Partsy is sober enough, I need to see them. Skinheads with bagpipes who love hockey. Throw a bike in, and I would never leave!BrokenChain said:
i am jealous... you lucky man..........BrokenChain said:
Do they qualify as Skinheads? Seem pretty mainstream to me. They are more of what we used to refer to as Jock-core... although I do like their music and wish I could go see them.JohnE said:
Check out "the Bruisers" (lead singer's old band) for some good old school 'Oi' Skinhead music.
Depends on the criteria. For an all around show I would say that PRINCE was one of the best. Whether you like his music or not, the man is a showman who pulls out all the stops for his shows.
One of the best small shows I saw was the Cowboy Junkies at the Coach House. Very small venue and that girl can sing! Awsome.
Best pit I was ever in was at a Dramarama show (Weird, huh). The bill consisted of Bad Religion, Dead Milkmen and Dramarama.
Best bill... 91X-Fest in San Diego in 91 or 92... They Might Be Giants, The Cramps, Ziggy Marley, The B-52s. Great variety of artists.
Best show I can't remember - Phish. My friends tell me that I had a great time.

Segovia, though outspoken against Rock N Roll, was the best.sirknight6 said:
I saw The Priest on the Screaming For Venegance tour front & center on a $12.50 general admission ticket at the Cumberland County Memorial Arena on January 8, 1983. Even though I was half blasted on Bacardi 151, it was one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen. Tipton was standing about 3 feet away from me when the show opened with The Hellion/Electric Eye. The Holy Grail for a long-time JP fan who had never seen them before.
wow, someone's heard of sylvia juncosa! i really liked her records (aside from the SWA stuff, i recall that being pretty bad). never did see her, though.stevew said:
Ride was a good (and loud) show. Lush was good too. never did see MBV.
I loved X-Fest. I also had tickets to 91X 9th anniversary with Social D. Social D rocked, but freakin Los Lobos! Not only did they suck, but they played for what seemed like 3 days...Ciaran said:
The Priest concert that stands out the most to me was "Point of Entry" tour, with Maiden on the "Killers" tour. The song that I can remember vividly was "Beyond the Realms of Death"...
Social Distortion, at the House of Blues in Anaheim, best three shows I've seen. Saw em on wed. fri. and the following saturday.
damn there are a LOT of social distortion fans out there...i've seen them three times and they belong in stevew's thread.
I saw GWAR at 4808 in Charlotte in September of 1990. The lead singer got locked up for it being a typical GWAR show. The charge was some weird thing like disseminating obscenities. The best part was the arraignment judge's name was Richard Boner.
Cool thread. I have seen a lot of shows and sometimes they blend into each other (I used to a lot of drugs, I mean a lot!). So here goes. I think one of the best shows I ever saw was the Ramones in a bull fighting arena in Sevilla Spain. The Chesterfield Kings opened up for them and it was truly a rock and roll moment. I drank so much wine and smoked so much hash I prolly shouldn't remember it but I do.
The second show I really remember was the Clash at the Cape Cod Coliseum. We showed up late and they were already playing but it was such a powerful band. They just blew me away.
The Ramones again. If you ever got a chance Angora Ballroom in Cleveland OH you know what I mean. Awesome venue. Honorable mention was the Melvins and Pierre Ubu there. Great place.
Black Flag at the channel in Boston. Enough said. Just amazing.
Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Orpheum in Boston (before he cleaned up...). I smoked so much Black Tar that I shouldn't remember the show, but I do.....
The Dead at JFK in philly. Not sure what year or anything. Just remember it was great. I got laid during Space.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. I saw God.
Fugazi at a club named Hell in DC. I got in a fight with a roadie after the show and Ian broke it up and made us have a beer together.
Rush at the Maple Leaf Gardens. The crowd was soooo into it. Great band.
Dash Rip Rock at the Ratskeller in Kenmore square. I saw god again.
The Pixies at the Paradise in Boston. The Throwing Muses opened up for them and it was pretty cool. I saw the Lyres, Gang Green, and Treat Her Right (with Mark Sandman) during the course of a week!
Speaking of Mark Sandman, Morpihine one of many times I saw them. Most notably at a show in Hoboken NJ.
The Smithereens at Lupos HHH in Providence RI. I jumped onstage and started singing with the band during a version of the Who's "the kid are allright". The roadies tried to get me off stage but the singer let me finish the song before they jumped on me. If you ever do this don't fight back. I got 3 stitches and learned that medical treatment means something different in RI.
Believe it or not.... Queen. They were my first concert. They basically started the ball rolling. They set the bar for me as far as live bands are concerned1979 was a great year for live music. I saw AC/DC, Black Sabbath, The Police, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, The Kinks, The Stones, Kiss, Rainbow, UFO, and Rush that year. All great live bands.
I saw so many great shows over so many years. I could prolly go on and on.

I'm sot so sure I'd go that far. I must say, NOFX was awesome! They opened up their set with The Decline, which I didn't expect them to play at all. Fat mike was pretty drunk, which is just fine by me. However, we had the severe misfortune of having Eric Sandin come down and pants him. He just stood there, while we received a facefull of schlong...And then ass...partsbara said:
. The opening bands (The Loved Ones and Lawrence Arms) kind of sucked, but I have a strong feeling that the venue's acoustics didn't help them at all.
