Your First Live Experience

[Benji]

Mine was S Club 7. Oh yes. In all honesty it was fucking awesome, they were awesome.

This thread is brought to you in conjunction with me buying the S Club 7 Best of album and remembering that factoid. Now if you don't mind, I'm off to rock out to "S Club Party"

PS: Also the TV shows were awesome.

[9 to 5]

Eminem, Manchester Acamedy, on a Sunday, 15 years old, went with a mate and a lass. Was fantastic.

We saw them in McDonalds too...my friend threw a milkshake 'at them' (they were so long gone out the door) and got 'barred' from the McDonalds.

[GA!]

Muse, Sheffield Arena, November 2006.

[Mick]

Billy Joel at the then Ice Palace (now known as the St. Pete Times Forum) in Tampa, Feb. 14, 1999.

I was 14 and only went because the tickets were free......

Now, as far as a show I was actually interested in, Feb. 21, 2001, at the Ice Palace:

AC/DC

That was EPIC.

[tristy]

Tool at Bonnaroo 2007.

I wish I still had the bootleg of the show. It was amazing.

[VerbalPuke]

Lynrd Skynrd and ZZ Top in 1999, at the Palace of Auburn Hills. ZZ Top made it an unforgettable show, they were absolutely great.

[GRIFT]

[SwantonEdge]

RHCP in 2005. Was good.

A few months later I went to Tenacious D... was legendary.

[Fitzy]

40 Below Summer, December 2006

[Summers]

40 Below Summer, December 2006

Silver medal goes to Fitzy.

[VerbalPuke]

That's awesome. I just saw him a few weeks ago, very funny and stimulating. I don't think I'll ever miss another of his spoken word performances again.

Not to stray off topic, but I recommend you listen to his story about "battling Iggy Pop". It's brilliant.

[GRIFT]

Fuck yes. That is a great story. I have everything the man has put out for spoken word. My first live show was The Rollins Band headlining a show opened by the Butthole Surfers. It was fucking dynamite.

Also on the subject of Iggy Pop, I think it should be required by law that everyone is forced to watch this video once a day. If everyone was as excited to be alive as Iggy Pop is, the world would suck a lot less.
