Last Concert?

Posted on 03/21/08, 11:19 pm

Who did you see? I used to go all the time to concerts, but don't much anymore. Last two concerts were at the Oakland, CA arena. Saw Clapton about 6 yrs. ago...really good but waited all night for "Layla" & he performed it for his encore accoustically...damn! wanted him to rock it out.....

About 4 yrs. ago took my daughter to see Jimmy Eat World, Green Day & Blink 182 (headliner)...Green Day was amazing! A bit of trivia, Green Day got their start at a local small club in Berkeley, CA called The Gilman. My daughter goes there all the time to see different bands. Billy Joe Armstrong started playing there at age 15 & the rest is history.

  last concert was a good old redneck country concert for my bro's birthday...Emerson Drive, Terri Clark, and Big & Rich. we pretty much just drank quite a few beer and 2-stepped the night away. it was great fun!

  Clapton does kick ass. I saw him in Columbus, OH; opened up with Let it Rain. Last concert I saw, Toby Keith. I love country music concerts - bunch of happy drunk rednecks...actually, that doesn't sound like much fun but believe me, it's a hoot and a holler.

  killbill & jwonde - those country music concerts sure do sound like a lot of fun, never been to one; now that I think about it, the big country musicians skip the Bay Area; not enough country music fans to fill up the big arenas.

  Well Jazzie, I will have to pick you up while I am on my giant roadtrip this summer, and drag you to a good country concert! You have no idea what you are missing! Nothing better than throwing on the good old cowboy boots, having a beer in each hand, and trying to dance with some random stranger at the same time. Good stuff I tell ya!

  I saw Bon Jovi on 3/15/08 & they rocked as usual! By the way, I think this is a great discussion board. I just joined today.

  Cool Powerout..my daughter is a huge fan..saw them summer 2006. Hey this is cool..my bff went to Vegas for Super Bowl & bought tickets to see Sammy Hagar & his Waboritas band. During the concert, he had a few surprises....1st he brings out Michael Anthony, bass player for Van Halen that was replace by Eddie's son, Wolfie, on their current tour. Crowd goes nuts; then brings out Chad Smith of the Peppers on drums, crowd erupts. Finally, brings out Joe Satriani on lead guitar; crowd almost faints! LOL ..very cool.

  I saw the Squirrel Nut Zippers in Santa Cruz. Best show I've ever been to. I ended up meeting and talking to them for about half an hour after the show too!

Music and Depression related? Is there music that cheers you up? Any ideas about how to improve this group would be great.
