I used to have a pretty good list on my myspace...but sadly it got lost when I deleted my old myspace. (Who would have though.)

I've seen...in no particular order.

Underoath...which has a semi-good story. Two weeks before seeing them I had my nose fixed (aka plastic surgery) because of an accident that broke it. So it was looking hot, and pretty good. Obviously, the best choice after having any bone broken is to go to an underoath concert. So I went, some stupid kid did a stage dive right on top of me, and kneed me in the face/nose. It was terribly traumatic, I thought my nose was going to fall off.
To make a not so long story short, one of the crew guys felt bad for me, and I got to spend the rest of the concert on the side of the stage, right next to Chris, their keyboard player.
It was amazing to see the crowd from their point of view. At one point I was totally rocking out and Chris reached over and ruffled my hair.

I have a picture from that night if anyone's interested. click.

Minus the Bear (AMAZING)

And beacuse I'm a dork and I can't resist, another photo.

I'm going to see Michael Buble on June 11, I can't wait!!! Laughing

Then in November I'm seeing Andre Rieu, which is gonna be fantastic cos I managed to snag VIP tickets too!

I can't remember all the concerts I've been to. I've been to Robbie Williams, I remember that. I've been to lots of Youth Alive/Oxygen concerts, but Robbie Williams was the major one.

Oh - and I saw Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs before Billy Thorpe died! I was so happy!!

And I've seen Billy Joel, but I'm not talking about that one!

Oh Billy Joel. Bane of my existance. Just not a fun concert to go to.

My mother, the delightful person that she is, decided to come down with a cold. Which I caught. So she can't go to the concert with my dad, and guess who gets dragged along instead?

Me. With a stuffy nose and a raging head ache.

My dad says to me, "We'll get Hungry Jacks afterwards, I promise." Now apparently sitting through a Billy Joel concert is worth it to get Hungry Jacks. Let me tell you...never again!

Anyway, it was just horrible. I must have been the youngest person there, surrounded by all these old people and my Dad. I had a splitting head ache, and there's Billy Joel trying to get in as many guitar riffs without breaking a hip. And to make it worse this old gentlemen next to me was getting really into it, and kept pulling me up off my seat to clap and dance.

Worst night of my life. And I thought going to The Seekers with my mum and being surrounded by ex-hippies singing "Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea..." was bad.

Needless to say, I didn't et my HJ's afterwards. It was closed. Crying or Very sad

Awww.. that is such a sad story Sad

I couldn't imagine going to a concert w/a headache.. let alone the fact that you didn't get food after word.

Sad

*hugs* that stinks..

Emmy · Posted: Sun May 25, 2008 2:37 pm Post subject: Family Values Tour 2007

Hmmm...

I went to the Family Values Tour last year with my boyfriend!

First rock concert for us!

Consists of:
-Atreyu
-Hellyeah
-Trivium
-Flyleaf
-Evanescence
-Korn

We sat safely in the upper level.

But that didn't stop the couple behind from going crazy...

While Flyleaf is on stage, they keep bumping into my seat.

I kept looking back and making dirty looks to stop them.
(I don't like to speak so much...)

They kept going the entire time when Flyleaf was performing!

They finished and left the stage.

My boyfriend asked me if I wanted to move over to the next seat.

I said no but that was a big mistake.

All I heard from 4 rows behind us is, "Get A Room!"

A bunch of beer spilled all over me!

There goes my new Evanescence shirt.

The guy who shouted, meant to throw it at the crazy couple but missed.

My boyfriend just said, "I told you to move over..."

We dried it off and now my shirt smells like beer...ugh.

The couple apologized.

During Evanescence, I was singing as loud as I can to every song! Very Happy

During Korn, there was 4 mosh pits!

My boyfriend was going crazy too! lol

It was a wild concert!

The Moffatts? Whatever happened to them?

Oh! I somehow forgot to include in my list a MCR and Muse concert. How that one slipped my mind is beyond me. Muse is like the best live band ever.
