I think I lost a little measure of respect for you homey. I kid, I kid. But I am surprised unless you couldn't find a sitter or you just dind't want to make that brutal drive.
George Strait Garth Brooks (in PMAC) Hank Jr. w/ Charlie Daniels Band and Travis Tritt Beastie Boys 311 Metallica The Stones( GA Dome VooDoo Lounge Tour) AWESOME! Bryan Adams w/ The Stones (above) and my all-time favorite: Dave Matthews Band (4 times) ------ twice at The Woodlands, TX GREAT VENUE!
I go to about 6 LSU games per year (home and away). Tool doesn't come around very often. The decision was simple to me.
Simple Minds (I was like 10yrs old) Rage Against the Machine > Lalapalouza 96' (awsome) Soundgarden > Lalapalouza 96' (awsome) Metallica > Lalapalouza 96' (awsome) Cake (horrible!) No Doubt (pretty good, Gwen has got way too much energy) Varuca Salt (OK) Bush (OK, went with my wife and left early) Wayne Toups (its hard to screw up Zydeco) Lauri Morgan Sammy Kershaw (a country music kick i went through) Toadies (nothing much) Zebra (nothing much, but was nice to hear some classic rock) Evanesence (suprisingly good, Amy Lee can really Rock Out and not miss a note) Cowboymouth (Singer has the best stage presence I've ever seen! Really knows how to work a crowd) Hinder (Very good, they will be huge) Three Days Grace (like the music, but their act sucks!) Staind (very good show) Acid Bath (saw them locally about 8 times, wish they wouldn't have been struck by tragedy) Dave Matthews Band (thanks to DOTB for insisting I go see one the best pure Musicians ever)
Motley Crue Lita Ford Journey Def Leppard Metallica (every show since 88 when they came with the Cult) Slayer Anthrax Megadeth Pantera Static X Slipknot Skrape Morbid Angel Faith No More Guns N Roses Tool Type O Negative Lacuna Coil Hank Williams Jr Lynard Skynard Us an Them (great Pink Floyd cover band) Bag of Donuts Cowboy Mouth Shows I have played while in Knever (too many to count): w/ Genitorturers w/ Impotent Sea Snakes w/ Stevie Blaze from Lillian Axe

Memphis in May Beale St. Music Fest --> WOLFMOTHER!!!

The Tool concert was very good. They played Flood, Schism, Jambi and some others. It was very similar to the show in BR a few months back. Maynard sounded good. Danny Carey is the best drummer alive. They played a great show. The drummer from the opening band (I think they were called "TransAm") came out and kinda dueled with Danny Carey on the drums and Danny Carey annihilated him. It was very entertaining though. It was a very fun night except the security there was a bunch of a-holes...but that's another story for another day. Tool rocks. Now I'm ready for A Perfect Circle to start touring. I've never seen them, but I really really want to.
I've been waiting for A Perfect Circle too! Glad you had a good time, but can't believe you missed the game for it.
Last night I went over to Dallas for night one (of two) of a radio station's holiday concert. We didn't get there for the first part (and I don't think we missed anything worth seeing though), but I got to see: a little bit of The Silversun Pickups (good) Coheed & Cambria (good) Paramore (ehhhhh...) Silverchair (blast from the past and well worth it!!) Jimmy Eat World (love them!) Modest Mouse!! (ooooooooo...soooooo fantastic!!)
