Kendrick Lamar came to my university before he was popular. Killed it. Didn't even know who he was at the time. Damn outstanding concert.
Avicii at TD Garden in Boston, Summer 2014. Absolute insanity.
wowwwww amazing
This specific concert has a pretty notorious reputation in Boston because several dozen people went a little too hard and ended up taking some trips to Mass General. I think security at concerts at TD was like permanently increased since then lol.
RIP

Liam Gallagher closing Park Life, Manchester 2018
Biblical
What a day pal! Then after-party at the 02 Ritz in town
Kanye TLOP tour was surreal. The floating stage, having a mental breakdown mid-performance and playing classics + the bulk of his last great album was mind blowing.
My buddy saw him on that tour in Boston and said it was easily the best concert he's ever been to
J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive Tour - days when he was hungry and only released straight bangers
Saw him in Chicago area on that tour. YG and Big Sean were phenomenal as well and it was all the same show. Unreal.
I've seen him 3x now and actually liked the KOD tour too. Unreal how his following has exploded.
Jaden Smith and Young Thug were also unreal on that tour. I saw him back in ATL so they brought out TI and a bunch of other ATL rappers. Incredibly hype concert
Buckethead - mar25,2018 - Chicago. Guy can move those strings.
Roger Waters performing The Dark Side of the Moon album
Yes
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Santana
Jay-Z
Overall favorite festival so far was ACL 2017 (hence RHCP and Jay-Z)
Gotta get tickets for RHCP when they go back on the road with Frusciante
Saw Santana and actually was one of the worst concerts that I've seen. He has to have other singers for his late 90s hits so it sort of sounded like a good cover band doing Santana songs....
Kanye West Life of Pablo TD Garden
U2 360 degree tour w/ Muse, 2009
Muse was reaaaaally fucking good live. Saw them headlining (also in 2009) and they came out to Knights of Cydonia. Ho-ly shit! My buddy got knocked out when the pit opened up (fucking hardcore kids), I dragged him out, he came to and we were back in the pits for Blackholes and Revelations.
Those Brits fucking shred.
Saint Pablo tour 2016 Toronto
Bro I saw his last show in Vegas for that tour (actually his last show ever), his stage effects were so hype when he opened with father stretch my hands
Jack U, Spring Awakening summer of 2015. Hypest set I’ve ever seen, whole crowd was loaded off this golden Molly that had just hit chi, buddy of mine actually geeked out it was so strong...anyways that set melted brains
Was there, can confirm the golden dust was the truth
Flumes Skin Tour. Gorgeous visuals and great music
Seconded
This is hard.
Seeing Laidback Luke at Webster Hall in NYC. I don't remember ever having so much fun at a show.
Moonrise festival in Maryland. People were just so friendly and chill there. Unreal atmosphere.
Loved EDC when it was still in NYC.
Porter Robinson (when he played normal edm) and during his worlds tour when he made everything from scratch. The visuals and vibe was off the charts.
Alesso in 2013-2014 had some of the best music he ever created, and seeing his stuff live was amazing.
Moonrise in Maryland is awesome. I've been twice. It's just so chill. More chill than anything else I've ever been to.
I love it, I've been 3 times and it's always great. One time there was a storm scare while I was peaking so I thought I was going to pass out in the stands.
Laidback Luke is probably the most talented DJ I’ve ever seen in a club. Big fan of his future/tech house sets, very old school. He has a sick party in Miami during WMC, it’s the mix mash party at the continental - highly encourage checking it out next year
Martin Garrix at Echostage in DC
most memorable - saw BB King with my grandfather before BB died
best quality music/performance - toss up between paul mccartney and iron maiden
bucket list - clapton, pink floyd (gilmour, fuck roger), andrea bocelli
Great taste dude
What do you have against my boy Roger?
my dad's friend who saw them in the 70s said they flew a model plane into the stage as part of the performance, is that true? I would kill to have been able to seen them and Led Zeppelin.
Been to Tomorrowland twice and hopefully going again in 2021. Honestly such an amazing festival, not overhyped at all.
Interested in going the next time they put it on. Any advice?
Have a contact that can get you ticket. The chances of getting them from the general sale are slim to none.
I'm heavily considering going to that with some friends. Shit is slow around labor day for us and we all think it's worth it. Gotta live a little, right?
Best experience was Odesza when I was peaking on acid which was some life changing shit. Most memorable was probably Kanye West's Glow In The Dark Tour since it was my first show and that tour was loaded. Honorable mention is Big Gigantic at Red Rocks which was best venue, scene that I've been to.
Bucket list is to get over to some shows in Europe.
Saw Odesza at a music festival and they were fuckign amazing
I gotta get to another festival ASAP.
Edit: I'm 29 now. Am I a fuckin loser?
Kanye TLOP
Kanye TLOP
Moonrise in Baltimore for that nasty heavy EDM, roughing it out in Pimlico.
I was thinking about going to this last year. Doesn't seem too hellish to get to.
Nicolas Jaar at U Street Music Hall and Brooklyn Steel
Bon Iver at an amphitheater in Philly
RIP
Yeah, really sucks. RIP ESL while we're at it. I don't live in DC anymore but if Flash goes too that will be a sad day.
Would kill to see Nicolas Jaar. fuuuuck
Either John Mayer at MSG or Dave Matthew’s in Virginia Beach, more of a Dave guy but John Mayer in MSG was incredible
Tomorrowland is always sick and have had some awesome experiences at UMF around the world.
Highlights include DJ Snake at Tokyo UMF and Swedish House Mafia at Singapore's Formula 1 Grand Prix. Was absolutely crazy
I'm a huge fan of 1980s pop culture, and I'm going to a Pet Shop Boys/New Order concert in September. It should be a lot of fun, as long as Covid doesn't get it cancelled.
Bro I had New Order tickets for August 2020...
Dino Merlin, St. Louis circa 2019
Some of my favorites over the past few years.
Separately, anyone going to Ubbi Dubbi in three weeks? Just got vaccinated and think I'm gonna send it
Daft Punk - Alive at Coachella, 2006
Damn this thread makes me sad I miss live music so much :(
Chainsmokers at Red Rocks - 2016, rolling face over a mile above sea level 10/10 would recommend
Oh dear.
Not one CONCERT, but one venue...Toads Place (New Haven). Best place in America to see a concert. That includes CBGB, Wetlands Preserve, Whiskey a go-go, Webster Hall, Red Rocks, The Ryman, Hollywood bowl, etc.
In a four year period... and I saw them all...I missed many, many other shows including Springsteen, Billy Joel, the Stones...
Outsidelands 2014, first summer back from college and got the high school gang back together. Kanye's set was unreal and rolling to Flume's performance on a picture perfect SF afternoon was dreamy. Good memories and makes me miss live music events that brings everyone together like that. Rest of line-up was one of the better ones I've seen too, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Arctic Monkeys, Disclosure, Atmosphere, etc.
Honorable mention to Beach House for their Depression Cherry tour. Mellow vibes but love their music.
saw Flume in less ideal circumstances than that and it was still sick, I can only imagine how that must have been. Outsidelands is in Golden Gate Park, right?
Yessir, his set was mid-afternoon on the Sunday of the 3-day festival, so last day. Was a great way to end the weekend - gorgeous weather with the sun shining down, slight breeze coming through the trees, and everyone was straight vibin to his music. Where'd you get to see him at?
Lil Uzi Christmas concert in 2017. Carti and G herbo were supposed to be there too but they both flaked. Still a fucking amazing concert tho, lil skies and Landon cube showed up last minute back before anyone knew abt them (2nd to astroworld, but everyone and their uncle went to that so i figured I’d start off with something different)
SHM, Kygo
OVO fest 2017 where drake brought out Kanye to play some songs from TLOP - unreal
Chainsmokers at Austin City Limits Fest. It was during peak popularity of “Closer”. Unreal show
Donauinselfest in Vienna, Austria
Been to a few really great ones. In order of attendance:
Some less good ones I've been to:
Been to 75+ concerts and music festivals...
Best Festival: 2016 ACL (Drake, Foo Fighters, Bassnectar, Tame, A$AP Rocky, Chance, Twenty One Pilots, Glass Animals, Disclosure, The Weeknd, etc)
Best Festival Set: Red Hot Chili Peppers at 2017 Bonnaroo (made it into the pit and they absolutely rocked like nothing I had ever seen before)
Best Concert: George Strait at Gillette Stadium in 2019 (The king lived up to his name and having Blake Shelton as the warm-up act was an added bonus)
