Best Concert You've ever attended?

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.

Liam Gallagher closing Park Life, Manchester 2018

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.

J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive Tour - days when he was hungry and only released straight bangers

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)

Kanye West Life of Pablo TD Garden

U2 360 degree tour w/ Muse, 2009

Saint Pablo tour 2016 Toronto

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 

Flumes Skin Tour. Gorgeous visuals and great music

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.

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

Been to Tomorrowland twice and hopefully going again in 2021. Honestly such an amazing festival, not overhyped at all. 

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. 

Kanye TLOP

Moonrise in Baltimore for that nasty heavy EDM, roughing it out in Pimlico.

Nicolas Jaar at U Street Music Hall and Brooklyn Steel

Bon Iver at an amphitheater in Philly

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.

Dino Merlin, St. Louis circa 2019

Some of my favorites over the past few years.

• Kaskade redux set (first time rolling)
• Odesza - A Moment Apart Finale in LA
• Gesaffelstein @ Coachella 2015
• Rufus @ Coachella
• The National @ Sydney Opera House
• ZHU surprise do lab set @ Coachella 

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...

• Bob Dylan, Phish, Black Crowes, Concrete Blonde, Johnny Cash, Alice in Chains, Iggy Pop, Ramones, Living Colour, BB King, Blue Öyster Cult, Meatloaf, Run DMC, Spin Doctors, James Taylor, Procol Harum, Violent Femmes, Joan Jett, Jefferson Starship, Ice Cube, Matthew Sweet, Poi Dog Pondering, Sophie B Hawkins, Public Enemy, Tori Amos, Bon Jovi, Johnny Clegg and Savuka, Asia, Foreigner, The Kinks, George Thorogood & the Destroyers , Marc Cohn, Sheryl Crow, Big Country, Cheap Trick, Tom Jones, The Cranberries

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.

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:

1. Been to Jazz Fest in New Orleans a few times - always a killer time.
2. At a festival I saw Drop Kick Murphys and Coolio (I know, weird combo). But of course enjoyed very much.
3. Went to see Passion Pit. Great small indie band called Slenderbodies opened and stole the show imo.
4. Went to Astroworld - absolutely blacked out and don't remember anything. Apparently Shek Wes and Travis killed it though.
5. Modest Mouse. Not a huge fan but was a generally good time.
6. Saw a "songs and talk" with a handful of leads from 2000s bands - Fountains of Wayne, Eve 6, Marcy's Playground, etc. They basically talked about their creative processes, how they wrote their songs, and sang a few songs acoustic. Not quite a concert, but a really cool experience.
7. Hit up a JID concert. Saba opened and it was super wild - this was probably the best I've been to. Great interaction with fans, crazy lights, and amazing talent.
8. 21 Savage - exactly what you'd expect. Very hype.
9. Saw Beck and Cage the Elephant. Both are bands I've enjoyed for a while and was really excited to get the opportunity to see them both.

Some less good ones I've been to:

1. Iron Maiden - they actually kicked ass. But I'm not a big fan of their music and went to hang with a friend. Pretty entertaining though.
2. MadeinTYO - homie literally stood on the stage while music played. Literally 0 effort. Crowd was pissed.
3. Rich the Kid - he missed his flight. However, NLE Choppa opened right before he blew up, so I guess that was cool.

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)
