Been to nickelback, hedley and the eagles, the latter were excellent
Lucky you, have fun lol.
I have seen Cut Copy, Royksopp, Docter P. and Flux Pavilion together and Crystal Castles.
I had an opportunity to see Tycho, but college was just starting back up and my schedule was kinda full.
I saw Alice in Chains yesterday two years ago (February 26, 2010). They were hands down the best band I've seen live (I haven't been to that many shows). I actually got to meet Jerry Cantrell in the parking lot after the show. After William DuVall said goodbye to his friends, family, wife, and little infant kid, Will went back on the tour bus and Jerry came off the tour bus. Jerry Cantrell came out to sign autographs to fans. I got my Black Gives Way to Blue album signed. I only brought that album because I didn't have a car at the time and it was the easiest to carry because it was a paper sleeve.
I've long lost count or the ability to list them at will, but I've easily been to over 60 concerts and shows combined. My first ever was Weird Al Yankovic back when I was about 11 or 12, the first without my family was the Offspring when I was 15, and the most recent was when my buddies and I stumbled upon Biodiesel last Thursday night at a bar downtown. I've seen Cursive 4 times, the Appleseed Cast 4 (5?) times, the Life and Times, Minus the Bear, Built to Spill, and a ton of other great bands. Recently, I don't go as often and have missed MTB and Cursive on a few occasions because school rules my fucking life.

thanks for the post kiddo, I was always curious
I live to serve
Concerts don't come here so I have to travel...
I've only seen one concert but it's one of my best memories :x I saw Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Sydney on their It's Blitz! tour a couple of years ago. It was one of their last shows and they still performed as energetically as if it was their opening night. Even my mom has fallen in love with Karen O. Everything they say about her is true. She is a magician on the stage.

ugh ugh ugh I am envious (except for having to travel for concerns lol, living near dallas is GREAT)
In terms of big artists, I've only ever seen Ra Ra Riot who I saw twice, they were kickass, they played their entire discography since they only have two albums lol. Their cellist is SO HOT OMG but I think she left the band so I'm very unhappy >:O.
Now, I actually live in Denton, where there is MUCH better musical acts. University of North Texas, surprisingly, is a really good music school so there are awesome local bands everywhere! To give some examples- every year we have Jazzfest, which is just all the local bands + crappy stand food basically. One local polka-fusion-thing band called the Brave Combo (who's actually won a Grammy) is from here and they always play in the Denton Square before Christmas, so I try to go then if I'm not busy with exams and stuff. I even live next door to a nationally ranked blues guitarist named Chris Watson, and I can see him and his band practice whenever I want!
I saw the Rush Time Machine Tour last year at the gorge ampitheater (biggest theater in WA i believe, absolutely amazing) with my friends on a big 3 nighte camping trip. It was absolutely amazing, close enough to the stage to be singed by the fireballs. Positively awesome despite the fact that it was like a 5mile walk back to the campground and the massive amounts of pot smoke in the air.
I'm always angry because I live in Portsmouth/Norfolk but go to school in Blacksburg, and AMAZING shows always come to the Norva when school is in session. I've missed The Sword, Kyuss Lives, The Atomic Bitchwax, Red Fang, Megadeth, and I'm about to miss Clutch (this is just off the top of my head; I'm sure I've missed plenty of other crazy good shows too).
I have seen Clutch twice already at least, those shows were on point. I don't make it to many festivals but I've been to my fair share of shows. I'd say some of the acts I've enjoyed most are Clutch, Blues Traveler, Grand Funk Railroad, and Kansas (though Kansas was opening for someone so their set was too short).

I've been to a few concerts and have seen many bands play.
It's been a while, but I remember enjoying Silversun Pickups live. My only complaint is they weren't the main act, and it was a huge location; I'd love to see them play in a small venue.
Kings of Leon play an excellent show, I swear that lead singer sounds better live than recorded; also, it's an amazing experience when you have hundreds of people singing to the chorus of "Sex on Fire."
Another band that really impressed me was Rise Against. They were really energetic and sounded great. And Tim Mcilrath comes off as a strong individual.
Finally, saw Cake about a week ago. Got within several feet of John McCrea and the rest of the band, due to the small venue. I was blown away, since I know every song, and I had a lot of fun.

I saw them live new year's eve this year. I was blown away with how tight a live band they were. They sound even better live than they do in the studio.
