Saw Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey on Saturday, and I'm seeing Rodrigo and Gabriela tomorrow night. Daltrey and Clapton were on point.

Yep. I saw them on March 5. Amazing show. Clapton is still amazing and Daltrey's voice is still pretty good. Granted, his backing bad is no Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, or John Entwhistle, but still enjoyable.
 
Saw AFi in Charlotte this past weekend. They do a really good live show and it was a small venue (closest I've ever been to a band I like that much).

Seeing Coheed and Cambria next month at the same venue, extremely psyched about that one.

(And to the poster immediately above me: Rush is my favorite band ever.)
 
Last concert I went to was on january 23rd. Sequential Circus 6 at Open Studios in Vancouver. Insane show! My first time attending SC, and heard from a buddy whos sister was helping run the event, that this one was their best turnout ever. Their first event that actually made a profit.

I don't really count this next one, since I didn't get in. Reached maximum capacity about 4 hours before the concert started. :( Deadmau5 at David Lam Park in Vancouver during Van2010. Partied in the streets instead. :D


Edit. Parents are going to see Reba Mcentire tomorrow night in Abbotsford.
 
Lady Gaga, March 13, Auckland, New Zealand.

Amazing performance, set, lighting, costumes.. she had to be carried off stage after it ended.. no encore.. but that's how hard she went.
 
Saw Killswitch Engage and the Devil Wears Prada a while ago, then saw The Wonder Years a few weeks back. Going to see A Day to Remember, August Burns Red, Silverstein and Enter Shikari in a few weeks, and going to go see As I Lay Dying and Blessthefall in PA a a little over a month.
 
Saw The Fall Of Troy last night.. this is their farewell tour and they played one hell of a show. Crazy moshing and what not, and I even got to speak to Thomas Erak (lead singer) for about 30 minutes after the show. Great band, and I will definitely miss them!

I've been dying to see them. They hardly ever come around by me.

I just saw Alice in Chains in NYC. They're are my current favorite band. Love 'em. Its a bit different without Layne, but still very, very good. Blows away any of the crap music that's been coming out nowadays. IMO.
 
Same here, really want to see Sevendust. I've been a fan since their first release.

Saw AIC here in Nashville a month or so ago and they were fantastic. Your right, a bit different without Layne, but the new front man does the music right.

My next show: Iron Maiden with Dream Theater in Chicago on July 18th. A friend and I are flying up for that one.... We got PIT seats!!!! :D

Went to a Billy Talent concert about a month ago. I don't even like Billy Talent, but I went with some friends, so it was awesome either way.

They're playing the mainstage in the UK's Reading/Leeds Festival this August. Can't wait, they were the best act there last year.

Yeah, they're pretty awesome when they're live. I've got a few of their songs on my iPod now.

That really sucks. That's quite pathetic imo.
 
Last few I've been to were The Decemberists, Laura Veirs, Andrew Bird and St. Vincent. I have Tom Petty lined up this July as I haven't seen him yet and I've always wanted to. Now if I could just get some Clapton tickets...
 
My college just had a spring music mash up. It featured Asher roth, Matt and kim and girltalk. It was awesome, I got there early so I was front row middle of the stage. Asher roth's drummer gave me his drum stick and I got high fives from all performers. I took a few videos with my phone, here is my YouTube link www.YouTube.com/user/rnelan7
 
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club this Monday. Never listened to them before and only ended up there by chance, but it was pretty good. :)
