The Concert Thread

[terrell39]

Saw 2 amazing shows in the past 2 weeks:
Australian Pink Floyd Show and
Bryan Adams (Pat Benatar opened)

1 APF I can see why David Gilmour states they are the best Pink Floyd tribute band in the world! Their visuals and performance matched PF concert history

2 Bryan Adams was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time from last night performance and the visuals were just off the charts

Bryan is on my concert wishlist in the near future. Keith Scott, the guitar player doesn't get enough praise. Incredibly tasteful player and one of Edward Van Halen's favourite guitarists.

Seeing Opeth, Paradise Lost (straight home from Wacken today), and Katatonia tomorrow. My first Opeth show!

 

[Brigantium]

Opeth did not disappoint at all. It was an outdoor venue and I went about half way back for optimum sound experience. Such polished musicians, they sound incredible!

The venue, The Piece Hall in Halifax is a an 18th Century outdoor cloth market, very grand and neoclassical, which worked perfectly with Opeth (and Katatonia and the local lads Paradise Lost, too). Love the light show and the spire of the building getting lit up as part of that. It was a very relaxed crowd just enjoying the music.

It was probably the best organised venue I've been to for a long time. Staff everywhere pointing you to the shortest queues etc

Saw Sepultura's last European show (allegedly) last night. There was a few other bands on the bill, I'd never seen any of them before. I missed the openers but they were followed by Sacred Reich, Bloodbath, Biohazard and then Sepultura. Sacred Reich were great, good sound and mostly the hits with only two songs I didn't know. Bloodbath were pure shite. Biohazard were great but mostly an Urban Discipline heavy set and I'm more familiar with State of the World Address plus a good few songs I didn't know at all. Sepultura were brilliant too, but I'm not a fan of your man's vocals, and didn't know the bulk of the set, seems they have way more albums post 1993 than I anticipated

The Piece Hall looks like an outstanding venue for outdoor shows. I'd love to see a concert there at some point.

Got my ticket to see the Iron Maidens this November

 

[The Dissident]

Just got home from Toronto, saw Rush, originally was only going to Night 3 but also picked up a ticket to Night 2. Both shows were unbelievable, I still haven’t fully processed them.

 

[terrell39]

Saw two enjoyable shows recently:
First was John Mellencamp on his greatest hits tour. He was better than expected and was "an evening with; there was no opening act.
Then I saw Don Felder open for the Guess Who. Both surpassed our expectations not only the way they sounded but visually as well.

I'd happily see Bloodbath. They should really have played the Halifax gig, what the crossover of personnel with Opeth, Paradise Lost and Katatonia. A truly incestuous concert experience.

That’s awesome. @MrK and I saw night 3 in Chicago and it was spectacular. Moving Pictures in full was such a treat.

First was John Mellencamp on his greatest hits tour. He was better than expected and was "an evening with; there was no opening act.

No better bang for your buck than going to an “evening with” show for an artist you really like. I’ve seen far too many subpar openers suck time away from the headlining artist who I’m really there to see. A great example is Opeth, who often seem to drag the uber-boring Katatonia on tour with them.

[dickinson1978]

Angra has this guy now singing. He is not andre matos because its imposible but sounds close and good. But in some parts he sounds weak compared to Adre Matos

2 days ago me and my son drove 4 hours to Dallas to see Avenged Sevenfold in concert for the first time on their only Texas date this year.
They were Co headlining with Good Charlotte; our first time to see them too.

Both bands were great;

Only bad thing was it was an outdoor show and it was about 95° the entire 4 hours we were outside so that was brutal!

Cool stage ive seen avanged sevenfold a few times as opening act but was like dont know 20 years ago maybe? Ill give a try to both bands you name.

 

[terrell39]

Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte are very different bands;
Good Charlotte is more Rock versus A7s Metal

they said on stage that both bands have been best friends for many years and they've been talking about touring together and now this is the first time they finally done it
