Maybe this has been done before, dunno.
Anyways, what concerts have you been to like in the past 10 years? And what was your seat situation, atmosphere, indoor or outdoor concert, and your experiences, did you like it or not?
In the past 10 years I've been to three concerts
1. 1994 (guessing the date, if I'm wrong I'm at least close), think it was the Meriwether Post Pavilion, it was in D.C. anyways, an outdoor stadium, summer, in the high 90's, cookin! Sun beamin on everyone too when the concert started. Band was The WHO. Our seats were almost right at the top, waaay far away, but at least they had huge TVs hanging about that showed the band so you could see them (no way we could see them as far back our seats were, not without binoculars anyways). The concert itself was OK. The concert "experience" was crap LOL. Got there a bit late, so parking was a bitch, then get finally to our seats and some b*&*& is sitting in my seat, drunken argument, I won, so we sit down. Well, we have nothing to drink, so somebody has to go for beers, which are in those paperwax cups (which don't do well in the heat trust me). So after a ten mile hike and back sweating the entire way, we are back in our seats with our floppy cups full of beer (for five bucks each! rape!) Gotta drink em down quick as the cups start goin down in the heat LOL. Well, 30 minutes later, guess what? Gotta go! So I'm traipsing again the 10 minute hike to the ladies room, which I come to see has 30 people waiting! (btw, men's bathroom has NO line at all). So I look upon that concert as a bit of a bad experience, since most of it consisted of walking a lot and missing a lot of music, and then the argument thing with that woman trying to steal my seat.

Concert #2 was also in D.C., in 1999, can't remember which pavilion, but it was an indoor one. Band was the Dave Matthews Band. Geeeez our seats were all the way back, along the back wall LOL, and they had NO big screen TVs for us who couldn't see the band except for small black smudges. That sucked. Plus most of the audience seemed to be from a bunch of high schools, I felt so old there LOL, although nobody looked at me like I was out of place. They didn't like us smoking though (yeah it's not allowed but we sneaked anyways, figuring the working attendants didn't want to traipse up the 5 million stairs to get to us LOL and stop us).
Concert #3 was in the Nissan Pavilion, year 2000, (best Pavilion out there, is in Virginia, and is excellent!!! Has tons of bathrooms for one, tons of stands where you can get food or drink too, and all this is encircling the stadium, so no matter what end you find yourself on, you are good LOL
Band was John Fogherty (from Creedence Clearwater Revival). He was singing with his own band, but he picked a good one, the music was so much more precise and the drums were thundering, made every song so strong! Quality is rarely heard nowadays, and that night I heard it. Our seat was front row, center, fourth row. Was the best concert I've ever been to. The audience consisted of people in their teens, 20's, 30's and up, and everyone was happy and smiling, it was an unbeliveable experience. The music rocked! Had such a great time!
So tell me what yall's experiences were with concerts? [img]smile.gif[/img]
