What concerts are you going to this summer? - Music - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Hello all,

Well, firstly I would like to say that I am a great fan of concert going. Been going to see my favorite (and not so favorite) bands since I was but a young lass of 17. I was in the Navy then and stationed far from home (on the right coast).
Being in the Navy, I was surrounded by others that were, shall we say, more worldly then myself. And as a natural consequence I was introduced not only to pot but the the joys of concert going with pot amoung other things that are also better another time and thread. I also learned a valuable lesson about keeping the joint down but thats another story for another time too.

The first concert I ever saw was Chicago in Norfolk Virginia October1976.

Anyway, since 1976 (yes you can date me if you can do the math) I have since see numerous concerts both headliner (least for my musical taste) and others less famous. Most at large venues though I do love ampitheatres for the sound the best.

I have not an exact figure but it must lay in the 90's somewhere. This is no doubt megger by some and large by others. Both none the less most a great experience each one.

Anyway, on with this... as it turns out, I have some very sweet tickets to go see Chicago and The Doobies under the same venue at a ampitheatre next month.

Awww the memories.

Saw the Doobies at the Hollywood Bowl in 86' I believe (could have been 87')

Anyway, thought I would share.

Hello all,

Went to see Tommy Castro and The Painkillers in the concert in the park here in the 707 last night for Father's day.

Love the atmosphere...tree covered shady grassy lawn, people were bbq'ing, coolers , blankets and chairs,smoking, dancing, popping corks and twisting lids. I would estimated the crowd at 2000 if not more. All were peaceful and everybody had a great time.

If ever in the 707, check out the summer concert series in the park.

Great times.

i missed down this time around damn it. i've seen all the members in their various other bands but not as a whole yet.....1 of these days tho.

I've got radiohead, sigur ros and a local music festival in Suffolk (uk) coming up in the next couple of months.

I used to love going to gigs, but the last few I've been to have been painful. Smashing Pumpkins (well, billy corgan and friends) sounded SO bad, venues are long queues where you're patted down several times and made to turn out all your pockets and generally hassled by yellow t-shirted muscle men who hate the fact you're going to see a band rather than watching a football match. Do they do soundchecks anymore? Festivals are patrolled by security guards to make sure you're not smoking pot or having too much fun generally. Ok... i'm bitter. But I do remember it being a better experience.
