[karebear304]

I'm the lamest music person ever.

I used to go to festivals in NOLA sometimes, but more to drink/hang out than to see bands (...and randomly never been to Jazz Fest, ever). All I can remember is 311, Better than Ezra & Counting Crows.

The only non-festival concert I've ever been to is REO Speedwagon, Survivor & Styx with my brother and my parents.

ETA: Thanks to your lists I remembered that I've also seen Eve 6 and Sum 41.

I may have seen Guster too....love them, but I can't remember if we made it over to that stage. Like I said, I went to festivals to drink, LOL!

[315bride]

Some of the recent ones that I think people might know:
Foo Fighters
The Black Keys
Metric
The Gossip
Them Crooked Vultures x3
Queens of the Stone Age x2

DH and I were trying to come with our lists just the other day and really had a hard time remembering. Thank goodness we saved some of the posters from the concerts. I stopped count as soon as I got into the triple digits and can barely remember the names of some of the obscure ones from decades ago. I used to go to concerts on a weekly basis and often visited musician friends on their tours. I may or may not have hung out with some of the members from bands listed above. ::coughs::

Metric and The Gossip are on my must see live list.

I get to see Metric at Lolla this year!!!!!

[315bride]

Metric and the Gossip were both great concerts. Emily Haines from Metric is adorable and I coveted every item of her outfit when she played NYC.

The Gossip was fun too. I am not a huge fan or anything, but they put on a great show.
