Oh man, I've been to a LOT of concerts. I used to live not all that far from L'Amour's (I can remember the voice of the guy on the radio when announcing the shows of the week- "L'AMOURS! THE ROCK CAPITOL OF BROOKLYN!) and when I was old enough to get around on the trains I used to see a lot of matinee shows at CGGBs and Mudd Club, and free shows at Tompkin Square Park. Fastforward to the 90s; I lived in Vermont and Washington state at various moments. My bfriend of the time had gone to school with some of the guys from the jam band Phish, so we saw them a lot both in show and at their houses (the drummer had this sweet dome-home for awhile and threw fun parties!) and then when i moved to WA my apartment was actually OVER a club, so I could sneak into just about anything I wanted. Early 2000s saw me on the road w. a friend who was going thru a transient phase; I wanted to make sure she got a good home so I went with her while still paying my rent back on my room in VT. We ended up settling for awhile in Athens Georgia, which is a wall-to-wall club scene; one of the guys from the Elephant Six Company (famous for Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal, Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo etc.) worked up the block from us when he wasn't on the road with one of the bands.
I'm sure all that was tl;dr so since I've already dated myself I'm going to list a few bands now...
Ozzy Osbourne, Venom, Frehley's Comet, Twisted Sister, Reagan Youth, Dead Boys, Artless, Agent Orange, Mad Violets, The Vipers, Fuzztones, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Ramones, BB King, Humble Pie, Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Todd Rundgren, Phish, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, The Smittens, Cranial Perch, The Greenhornes, The Tea Party, Pansy Division, Jesus Lizard, The Melvins, Barbacoa, Verbena, The Foo Fighters, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Deadsy, Type O Negative, Cheap Trick, The Meat Puppets, Bikini Kill, Two Ton Boa, Gangula Stretch, Sleater-Kinney, Cat Power, Olivia Tremor Control, the late bp helium, Jucifer, Casper & the Cookies, dir en grey, Rob Zombie....
and those are just the ones that came to mind and were memorable. :)[COLOR="Silver"]
