Concerts, Who've You Seen?

[SLC Flyfishing]

man I've seen alot of bands over the past two or three years. I basically made a life out of going to dance clubs to check out all the punk bands that came to SLC (Salt Lake City) we've got a pretty healthy punk scene here. So here's my best shot at what I've seen.

Rancid---too many times to remember
Dropkick Murphy's----2 or three times (warped tour)
Anti-Flag---Highly reccomended
Bouncing Souls----Losing Steam these days
Face to Face------too bad they broke up
One Man Army------Best show I've seen, they are all broke up too now
Yellowcard------Bland
New Found Glory------Bland
A.F.I.-------sorta dark and satanic, I liked their energy though
ALL-------easy to forget
Jack Johnson-------pretty good (my wife's a huge fan)
Bad Religion---------Hardcore Punk Classic
Depeche Mode-------Left Early
Distillers-----------Really great
The Explosion--------one of the best
Flogging Molly-------anyone for doin the Jig
Green Day-----------a bit too sell out for me personally
Less Than Jake--------good
MxPx------------they were good a long time ago, but I heard they're making a strong comeback
No Use for a Name, NOFX, Lagwagon,----------just 3 different names for in my oppinion, the same exact sound
Penywise---------not so good
Rise Against-------------I didn't like them at the time, but I'm starting to appreciate them now
Sixer-----------one of my favorites
Social Distortion----------------you can't deny that Mike Ness has what it takes to rock
Long Beach Dub Allstars---------bland as well
Tiger Army----------these guys are amazing live
Unwritten Law-----------great band
The Used-------local band for me, but not my style

There's too many others to list since I frequented the Warped Tour for 5 years or so. I have since ceased going to concerts because I've basically seen it all

The only band that I am dying to see is the U.S. Bombs. They're finally coming to SLC in june (can't wait) that'll be the last punk show i'll attend.

wow I've blown a lot of dough on music. (luckily I've only paid about 5-10 dollars for most of the concerts)

Since I started this thread I've also now seen Oasis, great music and well played but Liam is a pillock and was off his nut.

Also saw Little Britain Live last month, and they were disappointing, some very very funny bits, but too much dross. They were probably at their funniest when one or the other corpsed and they started ad libbing.
