Concerts you have been to in the last 3 years

[Samer]

Hey guys,

What are the concerts you attended in the last 3 years? Do you go to concerts often? Are there artists who you would love to see but you haven't yet seen in concert?

For me, I have been to the following concerts:
James Blunt
Keane
Placebo
PCD (the last concert ever they did as a group was in Beirut)

The big artists: Coldplay, Linkin Park, Rihanna, Pink, U2, Madonna... choose to go to Dubai or Istanbul because we are a small country, so that's unfortunate.

But I hope to see Nelly Furtado and Lady Gaga in concerts.

[Hook]

Kelly Clarkson is #1 on my must see list.

In the past 3 years, I've seen:
Maroon 5 (twice)
Sara Bareilles (twice)
The Script
OneRepublic
Rob Thomas
David Cook
Def Leppard
Poison
REO Speedwagon
Pat Benatar
Sheryl Crow
James Blunt
Journey
Natasha Bedingfield (intimate 2 song acoustic performance + Meet & Greet)

Probably some I am forgetting that aren't as important.

The good thing about my favorites is that none of them charge that much for tickets. The Script and OneRepublic/Sara Bareilles (together) were only $25 per ticket.

I would hate if my favorites were in the group where the cheapest nosebleed seats were $100+.

[Deleted]

Carrie Underwood x2 (Play On Tour)
CMA Fest (Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Danny Gokey, Lady Antebellum, Kellie Pickler, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Justin Moore, Easton Corbin, Martina McBride, Reba, Rascal Flatts, etc.)
Black Eyed Peas
Drake/Lil Wayne
American Idols Live (2008)
Kings of Leon
MGMT
Kelly Clarkson/Parachute
Train
Lifehouse/Kris Allen
Maroon 5
John Mayer
We Are the Fallen
Lady Gaga

[dbhmr]

Elton John and Kelly Clarkson in the last three years. Don't be too jealous, Ace.

[Janhova's Witness]

Kylie Minogue (October 9, 2009)
Lady GaGa (November 29, 2009)

That's it. I'll finally bask in Janhova's presence sometime in 2011. :'(

Lol good thing you don't like the Dave Matthews Band

[Gravity.]

My faves tend to be a bit pricey, and they don't usually come anywhere close to my redneck town. I'd love to see John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Relient K, and Paramore, and someday I will...Hopefully.

In the past three years I've seen Montgomery Gentry (with Shooter Jennings) and Miranda Lambert (with Keith Anderson). Montgomery Gentry put on a really good show; I was pleasantly surprised by this. Miranda Lambert, however, is a future legend. Her show was so good. She did an acoustic set in the middle, during which she sang "The House That Built Me." It was moving, really. Also she sang a cover of Michael Buble's "Home." She kept mentioning her recent engagement and stuff like that. I'd go see her again in a heartbeat, plus tickets were only around $30 a person.

[kt1990]

Regina Spektor <3


And that's it... . I'm planning on going to more concerts in 2011, but being a broke ass student kinda makes that difficult. That and the fact that my faves rarely/never tour outside the US.

[Jay]

I've been to the American Idol concerts... but that's it.

I saw the Dixie Chicks when I was 12, though.

Yeah, same. I go to the occasional show with pricey tickets if it's worth it to me (usually if it's an artist I want to see at least once before I die or they stop touring) and I can afford it at the time, but, for the most part, the artists I want to see charge reasonable admissions.

Oh, and I remembered another group I'd like to see a lot but haven't yet: Depeche Mode.

I could go back the last 10 years but I've seen so many different people I'd get confused.

[beach1]

I've seen Smashing Pumpkins, and Hockey and The Cribs at Lolla. Didn't really enjoy any of them to be honest.

I'm hoping to see Robyn live in the near future.

[MiniMusic]

I've only seen my fave in concert. March 23rd, 2009 at the Circus Starring Britney Spears tour! My avatar is a photo from that night!

[K.]

The last concert I saw was Damien Rice, probably in 2007, possibly more than three years ago. But I was never really a concert goer. My friends aren't as into music as I am, and it's no fun, IMO, to go alone.

[God]

I've only been to two in my life.

2009 - Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band, Working on a Dream Tour
2010 - Shakira, The Sun Comes Out Tour

Coincidentally, they both took place in September.
