Best or Worst Concert You Have Seen

[Brian Hackett]

I am curious what everyone's favorite/worst concert(s) has been in the past. Do any stick out as just being great or just horrible.

Favorite:

I saw Peter Gabriel about three years ago and it was amazing. He had so much energy on the stage and he did this trick where he got into this big bubble thing and starting bouncing all over the stage while he was singing. Still amazes me.

Worst:

When I was twelve I had to take my two female cousins to New Kids on the Block and it was just awful. It rained on us for an hour before the concert and then I had to listen to a bunch of teenage girls scream in my ear as they listened to just a pathetic excuse for music. I will never forget that.

I don't know how you got through a NKOTB concert without slitting your wrists. You have my sympathy man..lol

let's see...

The best:



Liz Phar at The Crowbar in State College, PA on May 5th 1999! It was the last stop on the tour and as you guys know May 5th is Cinco DeMayo and any Liz fan knows the signifigance of that. It was just a wonder combination of coincidences coupled with an amazing performance. The opening band pulled a few pranks on Liz and she had some for them which made it kind of fun. It was really just like a big old party since the venue was so intimate. The only disappointment was I wasn't able to meet Liz after the show. She snuck out the back door right after she left the stage. I did get to meet her bandmates and have a few drinks with them though.

Nina Gordon's (ex Veruca Salt) accoustic performance at the Lilith Fair stop in Canadagua, New York 1999 was a close second. At that show I got to meet Nina, The Dance Hall Crashers and Ashwin Sood (Sarah McLachlan's husband and drummer.)



The worst:
I've never seen any performances that were all that bad really believe it or not. I guess the worst was probably when I saw Sugar Ray play on the Hub Lawn at Penn State University. For one they really weren't what I was expecting and secondly they were really sloppy. It was a good day though because I got to see Poe open for them and she was who I came to see anyway. I got to meet her after the show and she invited my friends and I to go along to an after gig party. So all in all it was a good day in the end...lol

I've only been to two concerts in my entire life. One was The Oak Ridge Boys and the other was Dwight Yoakum. So take your pick on which was the worst!
