So, has anyone here ever been to a concert or is going to a concert? I'm going to a Bon Jovi concert on the 30th of March, and I was wondering if anyone else here has gone to one.

Up until recently, I had been to only two concerts...
-LeAnn Rimes/some male singer, also country
-Garth Brooks
...both of which I was dragged to by my parents. I was looking on a fansite when I heard that Coheed and Cambria (please, don't laugh, they're my favorite band) were coming to my local mall, and you could only get in if you bought one of the first 400 copies of their latest CD before it came out at the mall's FYE. I finally got a wristband with my Deluxe DVD/CD copy of No World For Tomorrow and waited online forever with other fans, most of who were taller and older than me, to meet them.
I started screaming so loudly when they showed up. The local rock station was there, even, giving out free magnets and posters. They grabbed their acoustic guitars and a drum and played "The Running Free", which was the first single off the disk, "A Favor House Atlantic", their breakout hit, and "Feathers", another new song that ended up being their next single. I even got the back of the CD signed and got to chat with the band a little bit. I loved it and seriously suggest anyone who has never been to a concert to see someone live. It's one of the best experiences ever, hands-down. :^_^:

I haven't been to many concerts, but one I remember was American Idol Season 5 tour- THAT was good.

I go to many concerts.
They all involve being a violinist though. >_<
One day I'd like to go see a concert by.... like... Avenged Sevenfold perhaps. And Breaking Benjamin. I think they come down here to Virginia often(and went through my area once, but it was a school night and I didn't think my parents would let me go). And maybe the New York Philharmonic would be nice too... heh.

My concert is on a school night, but it is 6 hours from where I live. I bet that the trip will be worth it.

I'm going to a They Might Be Giants concert towards the end of this month. :D Not sure of the exact date, but I'm pretty psyched because it's the first time seeing them perform live and I bet it'll be totally awesome.
...As for concerts of my own presentation, I'm not sure when our next Band (you know, symphonic band for school) concert is, but I think it's pretty far away... might be the Patriot's day parade, actually.
