What artist and/or group did you last see live in concert?

Swamp Mama Johnson before they broke up

I'm not an avid concert-goer (strange for an Elvis fan, huh?). However, my family and I are planning a trip to Branson, and I may get some opportunities there.

As for seeing a regular celebrity in person, I've seen Ben "Cooter" Jones (from TV's "The Dukes of Hazzard") several times recently. He has a place in Sperryville, VA, just up the road from where I live, called "Cooter's Place". Cooter has an annual Dukes of Hazzard festival there, and he has his own band in which he sings. If you're ever in Virginia, check it out! Lots of fun!

Paul Revere and the Raiders (at MacArthur Court on the U of O campus), summer of 1969 and Paul Williams (Lane County Fair) in the mid-70's.

If comedians count then Margaret Cho. Otherwise David Bowie.

Wow. Must have been 'The Communards' way back in 1989. A long time ago!

I would have loved to see the Communards in 1989.

I'm pretty sure it was Martha and Rufus Wainwright. They were excellent.

StainD

I created this survey because I've been dying to tell this to SOMEONE (all my friends are gone for the summer). On tuesday evening (the 24th) I finally got to see Tom Cochrane and Red Rider!! It was totally awesome!!

I love "Outside" great song...

I didn't really appreciate how excellent Martha was until I saw her perform with Rufus.

It was so beautiful to see him sing it. They had his face close up on a big screen, he was so into what he was saying. It was really amazing- I got goosebumps.

I think that was a Kiss concert in St. Louis.

But if you're talking speaking concerts then that would have to be Bruce Campbell about a year ago. Bruce Campbell of "Evil Dead" fame.

I have such a huge crush on her. I want to *be* Martha!

If you're going to Branson you can't miss the Dixie Stampede. It's part of a Dollywood Production. They serve dinner, but without silverware. It's a neat show, kind of a North vs. South thing. Whichever side you sit on, you have to try to make the most noise. It's very inclusive with the audience.

And if you like to swim, don't miss White Water.
Silver Dollar City is good too.

OHOHOH!!! For GREAT eating you just CANNOT miss Lamberts Cafe between Branson and Springfield. It's the home of the throwed rolls. They literally throw the rolls at you. It's an all you can eat place, but they bring the stuff around (fried okra, macaroni & cheese, etc). Check it out at www.throwedrolls.com

Sorry for all that above. I've been to Branson many times and I live 4 hours from there. My husband's grandparents live in Springfield which is less than an hour from Branson. Just thought I'd give you some pointers. <-->
Be ready for traffic!

The Exploited in De Melkweg in Amsterdam.

Next concert: Placebo in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam.

Coldplay, at Madison Square Garden

they were GREAT!

ray boltz

I think it was Hank Williams Jr in about 1986.

Thanks for the info--I'll keep all that in mind.

James Taylor

I just saw Saigon Water Puppets this evening.

The Vancouver International Jazz Festival is on right now. The last show I saw was a group with Brad Muirhead & Paul Blaney.

Actually, the Chinatown street festival is on right now, and I can hear some Chinese music and look out my window and watch. The stage is right under my window, so in a sense I'm at a concert right now!

Later on this evening, I'm going to see Los Canasteros.

Pablo Picasso and the Cock-Eyed Paint Brushes...live...at the Hollywood Bowl on June 23, 1921 ( with Diana Ross as the opening act so you could tell she was REALLY young then)

Actually, I saw the singing trio "Branson' in Cooter, Virginia...when I was visiting with the Duke of Wales and his fiance. Work brought me. I install air conditioners...and got hazard pay as I had to work in a massive thunder storm.

You're one of the "Cherokee People" always "Waking Up Alone"

"You Are My World" was written about me. I dated Freddie Mercury for about a month and they were all good friends (Actually, i really did date Freddie Mercury)

Did you know Brad Muirhead's real name is Muriel Bradhead? Who Knew????

But aren't you Tiffany Amber???

Yes, to mention your name. Why are you such a secret? (We won't tell anyone!!!)

I visited that site and boy, did it make me hungry!

Laurie Anderson

I don't remember. I think it was an oldies concert made up of a bunch of groups from the sixties. I like a lot of oldies music.

Who or what is your favorite 'oldie'?

Hard to pick just one, but off the top of my head, probably Creedence Clearwater "Old Time Rock and Roll". How about yours?

JUST TAKE THOSE OLD RECORDS OFF THE SHELF
I'LL SIT AND LISTEN TO 'EM BY MYSELF
TODAY'S MUSIC AIN'T GOT THE SAME SOUL
I LIKE THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL

DON'T TRY TO TAKE ME TO A DISCO
YOU'LL NEVER EVEN GET ME OUT ON THE FLOOR
IN TEN MINUTES I'LL BE LATE FOR THE DOOR
I LIKE THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL

(CHORUS) STILL LIKE THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL
THAT KIND OF MUSIC JUST SOOTHES THE SOUL
I REMINISCE ABOUT THE DAYS OF OLD
WITH THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL

(BREAK)

DON'T WANNA HEAR 'EM PLAY A TANGO
I'D RATHER HEAR SOME BLUES OR FUNKY OLD SOUL
THERE'S ONLY ONE SURE WAY TO GET ME TO GO
START PLAYING OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL

CALL ME A RELIC CALL ME WHAT YOU WILL
SAY I'M OLD FASHIONED SAY I'M OVER THE HILL
TODAY'S MUSIC AIN'T GOT THE SAME SOUL
LIKE THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL

That is for you!
For me, Anything by The Supremes, Four Tops

Billy Joel and Elton John, in Madison Square Gardens. Artists I like don't come here, and so I hardly ever go see concerts.

Brazilian diva Gal Costa a few years ago. I was sitting in the first row; wonderful concert!

No, I'm not Tiffani Amber, thankfully. I'm pretty sure you already knew that though.

Oasis. Front row of 50,000 people! They were absolutely fantastic. I am so pissed off right now because Silverchiar were in England in London (300 miles away), just on the days that I had exams. So that was rather upsetting since I've been waiting forever for them to come to England.

I would also like to see Queen, but can't for obvious reasons.

They Might Be Giants, in April of 2002.

It was a long time ago - UB40. I stopped going to concerts because I got sick of paying big bucks to see ants on a stage a kilometer away or watching them on big screens. I can see the same thing on a DVD without the 2 second sound delay or having to watch through binoculars. I don't have to get crammed on a train with 80,000 other concert goers after it either. I stopped going to live bands at pubs when I realised humans suck.

Pablo Picasso and the Cock-Eyed Paint Brushes...live...at the Hollywood Bowl on June 23, 1921 ( with Diana Ross as the opening act so you could tell she was REALLY young then)

Sure you don't mean "I gobbled his butt-hole and his cock-eye made me faint in the bushes and in West Hollywood he evacuated his bowel on me when I dressed as Diana Ross while licking the opening of a really young hen"? Yes I'm sure that's what you mean to say dear Dick.

Cool! Thank you! I love the Supremes and the Four Tops, too!

It was Boston years & years ago.

Yeah, I don't normally eat that type of food, but that place is awesome. And I just love fried okra. I'm just not big on "down home country" cooking. Lamberts Cafe is a treat though.

It makes me think of how my grandmother cooked when she was alive. She was born in Iowa, but her folks were from Missouri.

REO Speedwagon! And I'm seeing them again next week! woo - hoo!

norah jones and fleetwood mac within a week of each other........

Keep practicing!! You have a way to go...but you are moving in the right direction. ( oh, you say to are from 'down under" but you never say under "who?")

I saw that PHOTO, glitterbits in a previous survey. You can't deny that!!

And don't you love her show? I loved Okra in "Beloved" and "The Color Purple"! Her show really improved when Dr. Phil started making regular appearances.

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boy friend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

Robbie williams @ milton keynes 2001

Yeah, REO is touring with Journey and Styx. I'm really psyched!

How does that translate into me being her?

You're up over.

You have some freaky obsession that you look like her...you idolize her....you hang on every word of dialogue that flows from her lips. I KNOW you have posters of her all over your room (Biggles told me). You know her address, phone number...current boyfriend, dress size, bra size...you write fan mail daily..and when you look in the mirror, you wink and say, "Hey Tiff!"...so, that is how you translate into being her. ( Though you must be "very" pretty" )

And???????

bleh

I think that that spelled "blhe"

Out of the Blue. They were amazing. They got three standing ovations I believe.

Then what year were YOU born Mr.777 (1226?), or Biggles or Glitterbits333???? If I were born in 1956, I would be ancient!!!

Why yes! I was born in 1227!

And what year did you die?

1228

That explains the IQ

That would be a couple of years back, I went to see The Lads (NZ). But I went to a weekend music festival in Feb if that counts, in that case there were hundreds of bands and artists.

Wow, Ray Boltz live in concert would be awesome!

It was. If he ever came back here, I'd go again.

ummm... dave matthews band? i can't remember

Less than Jake with Simple Plan, Teen Idol and Allastor.

I hate coldplay.

bummer! it's a good thing you didn't waste your time there

Elton John......he was fab

It was a local bar band at the Mad Trapper Bar in Inuvik, Northwest Territories Canada. I have now been a lot further north than when the "how far north/south/east/west have you been" survey came out.

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Evanescence/Cold

Foo Fighters

Last band I saw was the Dave Matthews Cover Band, if they don't count then I was SUPPOSED to see Marilyn Manson (didn't happen) but the last 'official' band was Stabbing Westward.

Paul Weller, Hyde Park London.

Allan Jackson

Pearl Jam.

Weird Al.
