Members don't see this ad.

Here are the bands I have seen live in the last year (that I remember). It only includes national acts and not local bands. Anyway, after making this list, I was impressed by how many I have seen. I can't hear anymore by the way. 🙂

If you have seen more than me in the last year, I'll give you a dollar, or buy you the next concert ticket here in San Diego.

Also, I posted here so everyone will think I am way cool for seeing a bunch of bands no one else has heard of.

And look, I know these are NOT your stadium rock Journey-like bands (....that phillipino sounds awesome, just like Steve Perry...holy crap!) that MOST anesthesiologists enjoy, but whatever man....get with the times.

OK GO was my fav. They had lasers shooting out of their guitars.

Actually they were quite popular during my teenage years and have their greatest hits CD😛.

LOLOLOL. This thread isn't what I thought it would be. But it's still awesome. I think I've only seen two live shows this year. Lady Gaga and Sarah McLachlan. I had to leave Lady Gaga early b/c my (now born) fetus didn't like it and I thought I was going into early labor.

 

[Surfer]

Motley Crue

ummm, i guess that's it for this year... sucks huh?

Your fetus had good taste.

He says thanks! 😀

Here are the bands I have seen live in the last year (that I remember).

Any of them any good?

 

[doctor712]

In LA, 2007 and 2008, I could probably go toe to toe with you as far as concerts and sheer numbers. But, do small places like La Ve Lee in the Valley (small jazz club) where Dave Weckl (arguably best jazz drummer in world) was drumming with local band "count"? Places like Hotel Cafe in Hollywood has a band every week, or the Roxy, it was just so easy to see gigs. And besides, best friend is famous drummer, so the gigs were mostly FREE! : )

Also spent about 1 month total on the tour bus. Crossed america in that baby! Which TOTALLLLLLLLLLLY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍

I'd have to say my most epic concert was the final GENESIS concert EVER at the Hollywood Bowl in LA, about 2008? 20th row, dead center. That one cost a small fortune.

Name some amazing concerts over the years... peeps.

I saw Van Halen at Meadowlands. Genesis at MSG. Billy Joel at MSG.
Linkin Park this year was loud, hardly epic though. RUSH in Florida this year was ok, not great. Too far back. Missed the POLICE tour a couple years back, bummer. I wouldn't EVER see Journey without Steve Perry, why? I saw Chicago for New Years in Vegas 4 years ago, that was fun, part of a night of bands. But again, seeing that Genesis tour without Phil up front? NEVER. Sting solo was ok. Missed Aerosmith at Fenway because I flew out that day, that sucked, opening was J Geils too, bummer. Too many to keep track of... NICE LIST EPIDURAL MAN, my friend is in Fitz and the Trantrums, bassist, did you like their show?!

Most recent show in 2011? Red Light King. Talented up and coming group with that Neil Young single on radio during summer.

I will defend this as most of his list gets played on the radio in my town on a daily basis (2000 miles away). You just gotta find the right radio station 😀

 

[MTGas2B]

Dang. I need to free up some time on my schedule and catch up with you.

 

[Per4mer8]

While I admit I'm not on the cutting edge of new music, don't listen to the radio more of a pandora man. I have only heard of like 4 of the bands on that list. Either way that's an impressive amount of shows, do you have a running weekly show day? Oh to be an attending.

I still miss my Rage against the Machine. 😡

Nice list. I would have loved to see LCD soundsystem before the split. I'm mad I missed Spoon. I saw the black keys a few years ago. I can't get into a band with no bass. I'm all about the bass.... How was jeff tweedy? I saw Uncle Tupelo YEARS ago for 3$ in a small bar in Salt Lake City. It was phenomenal.

Better than I did as a resident. I'm bummed I missed Handsome Furs when they came to town.

Check out Daniel Tosh if he comes through. His standup 'completely serious' is perhaps the funniest standup of all time. Holy crap it is funny.

E Man - I thought you said these were "national acts"...

HaHa. I never said they were big acts, just ones that drive around in a van to different cities and play before a crowd of 200 people.

I have talked to many of the guys in these bands that come through, and although I would LOVE to be a rock star, their lives...for the most part....absolutely suck. They are so poor.

you should totally give the black keys another go. they tour with a backing band now, so the bass is bumpin'.

man I'd kill to have seen uncle tupelo back in the day, but I was 15 when they broke up. I did see Wilco right after AM came out, on HORDE tour. Remember H.O.R.D.E tour? Anyway, Tweedy solo is phenomenal. It's all about the banter. He's like a stand-up comedian up there. I've seen him several times, and he's always on fire. Back when I had more time and energy, I used to play solo acoustic Tweedy tribute shows at clubs around town. They ran the gamut from Tupelo and Golden Smog to Loose Fur and Wilco stuff. Great way to have fun and make a little extra cash while I was in med school.

Great list, epidural man. Tons of quality acts, if not exactly top 20 on MTV's billboard of crap music. At first glance many from that list remind me of a flyer I saw for a festival somewhere out in the NW area this summer. The Kills caught me eye and I debated making a trip, but something about buying a new house changed my mind.

My meager list over the past year or so, heavily dominated by metal acts because I'm being selective with my free time for the time being, and live metal acts have that extra OOMPH.

Opeth (x2)
Katatonia
Enslaved (x2)
Alcest
Junius
Def Leppard
Heart (it was for the wifey, I swear)
Mastodon
Baroness
Between the Buried and Me
Behemoth
Septicflesh
Lightning Swords of Death
Hero Destroyed
Gojira
New Model Army

If anyone looking is thinking WTF? but likes heavy music, Gojira is probably the most easily accessible, and Opeth is easily the most rewarding listen (albums Watershed, Heritage, Blackwater Park good entry points).

And for my Indie street cred, I'm surprising the wife with a cruise in January, but not any cruise...

www.weezercruise.com

Weezer
Dinosaur Jr
Sebadoah
Yuck
Wavves
Antlers
Nervous Wreckords
Ozma
and some others

but yeah, long live metal \m/

 

[sevoflurane]

TOOL
PEARL JAM
DJ TIESTO

Weakness....🙁

Can't keep up with you dudes.

 

[Trisomy13]

And sadly, in metal news today, GWAR's guitar player died 🙁 saw them years ago. Good music, great theater.

from www.avclub.com ...

GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot, who portrayed the role of Flattus Maximus in the band for the last nine years, was found dead today. The cause of death is not known. Smoot was discovered when his bandmates attempted to wake him as GWAR crossed the Canadian border after performing last night at First Avenue in Minneapolis. In a statement, the band said "there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of GWAR's current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today."

 

[epidural man]

Any of them any good?

Most were certainly worth the $15.

Even the $30 acts were great. But see for your self...

Here are mumford and sons, and Avett Bros playing on stage with Bob Dylan at the grammy awards this year.

This is what an anethesia buddy of mine had to say about my list - it made me chorttle for days, so I thought I would re-share here.

"What's the proper way to measure one's list? Should you start measuring from underneath the 12 months like Epidural Man did? Because it seems like a lot of people on the internet feel that the only way to get a standard measurement for comparison is to start measuring from the base of the year. Unfortunately that gives much less list length. 🙁 "

Wow. This shows some serious dedication to live music. Impressive. I'm in the same city as you and went to, uh, 2 shows I think.

My kind of list. Saw enslaved and junius when they rolled through town a couple of weeks ago. Great show. Junius is MUCH BETTER live than their studio recordings let on. Enslaved was amazing. Zepplin cover was both comical and good at the same time.

Ha. Just finished episode 6 or 7 of season 7. Agree....great show.
