Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 2:29 pm Post subject: Best Concerts You Ever Been To.....
I started this topic because I found a youtube video of mine
Oasis Live at Maine Road in Manchester in 1996. IT ISN'T A RICKROLL SO NO WORRIES
I was just about to turn 18 and went up there and the show was on a Saturday. We were going to go up just for the day and take a train back and we ended up staying up there until the following Wednesday. Hard to believe that was 12 years ago and one of the guys I went with now has three kids. Time flies. We drank epic amounts and I will just end the story there.... _________________ Proud Tottenham Hotspur Football and Los Angeles Lakers Supporter

Incubus - 2002 Morning View Tour... Front row seats, there were maybe two or three people in the whole place that had a better seat then us!
To make a long story short, I hung out with the band after the show and drank a (bleep) of SoCo with Dirk, the old bass player. They are a cool bunch of guys... the whole scene was crazy cool! The front row seats and backstage passes came courtesy of Dirk.
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds in Vegas was pure awesomeness. I'm glad the show was so great otherwise I would have felt bad about missing out on Trey Anastasio immediately after.
What an amazing act LIVE. _________________ =======================

I've seen Social D 5 times, once in Vegas and 4 times in Cali, in Pomona, L.A. & OC. They're shows kind of get redundant though.

Rage Against The Machine at Rock The Bells last year was pretty amazing. The whole lineup was great, but Rage just owned the night.
The Beat's Holiday Cool Down way back when was incredible. The lineup was Slum Village, Talib Kweli, Jurassic 5, Raphael Saadiq, Gang Starr, Common and The Roots. Awesome show.
Nas @ House Of Blues 07
The Roots anywhere, anytime
Common @ The Wiltern 07
Talib Kweli @ HOB in January of this year
John Legend @ the Gibson at Universal 07
Brian McKnight & Joe @ Gibson 07
Ozomatli @ some plaza in Downtown LA a few years back
I'm really looking forward to the Glow In The Dark Tour. Pretty excited to see N.E.R.D., Lupe and Kanye. _________________ http://www.mixcloud.com/M_Swift/

I love N.E.R.D.... that first album was great! I've seen them live three times, once on the Sprite ReMix Tour with The Roots and Talib Kweli, and once with the Black Eyed Peas (the BEP were a lot better than I thought they would be, you almost forget Fergie is on stage (she barely got on the mic, and they did a lot of their old stuff like Joints and Jams).
