12 July - Eve Selis

Springsteen was amazing - probably the best live performer I've seen.
Hoping Iron Maiden add a couple of UK shows at the end of the year...

Tickets purchased for:

Epica - January 21
Nightwish/Sonata Arctica/Delain - February 19
Iron Maiden - March 30
Dream Theater - April 23

No other speculation concerts for me at the moment, once the summer line up at PNC Arts Center comes out, I'm sure the list will grow.

New concert added:

311 - July 15th on the beach, just like last year.

Got all 4 of my tickets for:

ProgPower - September 7th-10th

In about 5 hours I'll be seeing REO Speedwagon, Tesla and Def Leppard


My wife is dragging me to this one  :lol


I'll enjoy a few of the Tesla songs.


Oh, wait, Tesla is on first.  Wife is going.  So much for Tesla  ::)

I think I'll be going to that same show when they come to my backyard (almost literally since the venue is so close).  I really like Def Leppard  and have seen them once before but that was back in 2003 I think.

Might be going to this to support my local scene. Anyone heard of any of these UK bands?

Also, payday tomorrow so I'm likely to get tickets for Ne Obliviscaris and Oceans of Slumber  :metal

The Tesla/Reo Speedwagon/Def Leppard show was actually quite good.  We arrived on time and saw all of Tesla's set.  They were surprisingly great and did a set of about 10 tracks from their first 3 albums.  The ones I can remember are: Hang Tough, Heaven's Trail, Love Song, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Rock Me To The Top, What You Give, Change In The Weather, Edison's Medicine.


Reo Speedwagon did a set of their radio hits.  Def Leppard did pretty much the same.  I think the deepest cut they did was "Let it Go" from "High 'n' Dry" which is my favorite DL tune.


All in all it was a good show.  Def Leppard's stage lights were pretty killer.

Awesome to hear that was a good concert. 

So livenation had a class action lawsuit two years ago (not the one in the news recently with ticketmaster) and part of the settlement, I got 3 free tickets to select concerts of my choosing.  I just claimed them since this was the last year before the offer expires.

July 8 - Sublime with Rome (saw this show last year at the same venue and had a BLAST even if it's not Brad singing, Rome was a solid front man)
July 13 - Def Leppard (I doubt I leave work early enough to catch Tesla, maybe I catch REO Speedwagon)
July 17 - Warped Tour (Mainly to see Less than Jake)

Aug 14- Fillmore - Periphery, SiKth, Chon, Toothgrinder
Nov 4- Masonic- Steven Wilson
Nov 18- Social Hall-  Epica, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Arkona, The Agonist

Still on the fence for Gojira/Tesseract. Would love to see TesseracT again, but not very familiar with Gojira.

Ugh I want to see that Periphery/SikTh/CHON show so bad (and I guess I'd check out toothgrinder too) but I think it's just USA

I went to a Gojira show knowing only 2 songs though dude, totally worth it, one of the best live acts I've ever seen.

Holy shit, I'm jealous!! That's an incredible line up.

I was just coming to post that I've bought tickets to see Ne Obliviscaris and Oceans of Slumber but it's not so enviable compared to that  :eek

Went twice to the amusement park Gröna Lund this weekend.

Saw Deep Purple on saturday and Status Quo on sunday. Both were surprisingly good considering their age.

One very memorable concert in my concert going history was seeing both of these bands play on monsters of rock at Valle Hovin in Oslo 22nd of August 1988. This was nowhere near the magic of that night but it was fun seeing them both on the same stage again after 28 years.

Saw Marilyn Manson and Slipknot last night since I had no other plans and the concert was local.

Manson was terrible.  Seemed like he was hardly singing and just stumbling around the stage.  I didn't expect anything from them though and am not really a fan at all. 

Slipknot was really good.  Not really into them either, but always enjoyed some of their music.  The place was really rockin and packed for them as well. 

Got a sick video of Duality:

The summer concerts have just begun.  Sublime with Rome was fun Friday night, next is Def Leppard Wednesday, 311 on Friday, then Warped Tour on Sunday!  :metal :metal

Still debating on pulling the trigger on that show, mainly for BtBaM, but Devy should be fun too even though I only know a smidgen of his material.

Well I've not actually seen him live myself but I know enough to be pretty confident you won't be disappointed if you get tickets  :biggrin:

Without exaggerating Between The Buried And Me + Protest The Hero tonight was probably the best concert I've ever been to. On top of loving both bands the supporting act fucking killed it. Barely anyone knew them but they managed to pump up the whole room! :metal

Also this was probably the smallest venue I've ever been to for a live show (the smallest room of a local venue here), crazy that bands this popular in the progmetal scene are actually quite small in the grand scheme of things. Crazy that I liked a concert I went to for free better than a 70 euro's Iron Maiden concert.  I love the intimacy of it all though, opposed to seeing Snoop Dogg live last year where I couldn't even see the guy. :lol

Yea man, give me intimate every time. Festivals are great because you get to see a lot of cool bands in a short period of time but I prefer smaller gigs. It's all about the atmosphere though, I mean, you can get a good atmosphere with bigger crowds (like the first time I saw Metallica, but I could have rose tinted glasses for that experience) but a smaller crowd who are all super pumped for a gig is great.

Devin Townsend on September 11th. Ghost on November 2nd.

I saw Buckethead back in May, and got dragged to an In This Moment show 2 weeks ago, which was better
than I thought it would be.
