Man...I am supremely envious of some of you, fantastic bands you've seen - I can only wish. My downfall is always living in a dinky little town, and being hundreds of miles from any bigger place where good bands actually play...

Anyway, my meagre little list which sounds incredibly lame but what the hell, I'll list it anyway :

Bryan Adams - Revelstoke, BC (don't even like him, but went with friends. Free concert, what the heck!)
Gowan - Calgary
The Grapes of Wrath - Kelowna, BC (funny story here. Was messing around with the code lock on the back door of the concert hall, and happened to completely luck out and press the right combination of numbers (the door was firmly locked beforehand, we tried it) - anyway, wandered in backstage, met the band and hung out for a bit, asked if they had anyway free tickets and they put us on the guest list instead! Crazy day, lots of fun!!)
Loreena McKennitt, celtic vocalist, AMAZING!!! - Victoria, BC


And...yeah...ummm...that's it. Sad, huh?

 

[ucxb]

Brian Setzer
Depeche Mode
Nine Inch Nails
Jane's Addiction
Passion Pit
Bob Schneider
The Lumineers

I enjoyed each and every one !

Yes, with my cousin who was over a decade older than me. They were the first live group I ever saw, opening with 'A hard Day's Night as I remember. I also remember being very annoyed because of all the screaming - including my cousin! I wanted to hear them properly...

I've seen this thread with my first ALL tour, but when it popped up again I thought it said "name BRANDS you have seen live..." So, I'm racking my brain trying to figure out who the hell would want to go to live infomercials.

I've seen one of those, too... Buddy of mine works for QVC... He does something to do with computer networking & equipment management thing for them... Once, he & I were just hanging out but he was on call... He did get called in & we've decided to sit through one of those for 3 hrs... He said something about making sure no network glitches...
