Best Concert You Went To In 2004

[YoungRemy]

Beastie Boys three times, followed by Bob Dylan & Willie Nelson...

[DroppinScience]

Sparta was tip-top!

And fuck you to everyone who saw the B-Boys. Losers won't even come to Edmonton.

[grass_roots]

hmmm, hard to say

it's a toss up between the Shelter Valley Folk Festival and Mr Something Somthing at the Schrezno Pub in Kingston

Nothing wrong with Aerosmith at all! They always out on a good show. (And I admit that I have a thing for Joe Perry.)

BTW - The Beasties didn't come to me--I came to them. I know it's not an option for everyone.

What are they like live? They're coming to a club here in January.

And you even got a Cd of Musicology went you entered the venue!

yeah, I have seen some dope shows in Vancouver. I love it there. I am near Toranto now so I will have to check some there. Save up for shows -- I feel it is a good thing to waste some cake on......

Besides seeing the BBoys on November 7th at the Bell Centre, my fav concerts that i went to were Muse and Sam Roberts. Both equally great rock shows.

[ima_zombie]

Most definately The Pixies. It's been ten years since their last tour. It was amazing, they played everything so perfect. I want to go again.

Was Bob Dylan really good, or was it just cool to see him? I have been disappointed by his shows. Usually the sound sucks and you can barely tell what song he's playing. I always wonder if he just thinks he doesn't have to try.

[ghettoverit]

they were all so good..besides the beasties i saw Incubus x 3 and jason mraz, warped tour was sweet overall good concert year for me

he impressed me at yale Field this summer, but I know what you mean. his show at the Garden in 2002 wasnt anything special.

this summer though he was energetic and he really played the shit out of his harmonica, which i enjoyed.

his newer tracks from Love and Theft are good and as for his classics, its like he does covers of his OWN songs, he was definitely putting different spins on the songs and freshened them up a bit.

also it was at Yale Field on a summer tour and i was right next to the stage, not 20 feet from the man himself.

heres the setlist from the show
1. Maggie's Farm
2. Watching The River Flow
3. Tell Me That It Isn't True
4. Lonesome Day Blues
5. Just Like A Woman
6. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
7. Love Sick
8. Highway 61 Revisited
9. Ballad Of Hollis Brown
10. Honest With Me
11. It Ain't Me, Babe
12. Summer Days

13. Mr. Tambourine Man
14. Like A Rolling Stone
15. All Along The Watchtower

Beasties!!! Long Beach!

That does sound great! I liked Time Out of Mind a lot--I had pretty much written him off before that. I might have to give him another chance.

I think part of the problem is that when he comes back to Minnesota, he plays big, crappy venues and if feels like about half the crowd came because they thought it was the thing to do, and they're not familiar with a lot of the music. If that makes any sense. My friend saw him last time he was in town, and she actually said she didn't like his music, but thought she should see him once in her life. A bad or good crowd can really contribute to my experience at a concert.

Don't be jealous of that bullshit!!! Be jealous of me at Crobar in Miami, the night before the VMA show, front and center within arms length of all 3 of them.

Would rather watch the Bboys perform one song live, than see Prince, or anyone else in the world, past/present, dead/alive, perform for two hours
