Rush
Aerosmith
The Firm
Genesis
Black Sabbath
Peter Gabriel
Page & Plant
Pink Floyd
Yes
System of a Down (Mike's first arena show)

Incubus (twice)
Van Halen - David Lee Roth

I like shows in slimy, smelly venues more. Cheaper and more intimate. I doubt I could remember all the shows I've attended.

Tool
Judas Priest
Metallica
Ozzfest 07
Iron Maiden

For me, it was my first gig in general. Like, I'd never seen a live performance of music in general. And yes, I do like Muse. And I enjoyed the show. Very ****ing cheesy at times (the whole show), but it was epic. After that, I started going to small bars and venues to watch my uncle perform in his band, and obviously I got a taste for my local metal scene. Which is very excellent by the way. Haven't been to any other arena performances though. If I had the money, I'd totally go to more, since there's loads of bands I really want to see.

Nice. The first time I saw them they were touring Signals.

Fitchburg Theater. Maybe 1,500 people. Geddy had only 1 small synth at that point. I had my elbows on the stage right in front of Alex. Dude was sweating on me half the night. My life was forever changed.

Farewell to Kings would've been awesome. When I saw them they played 2112 in its entirety as part of their 3+ hour set which is all that any Rush fan could ask for.

I swear that Alex's Hiwatts were making my hair move during 2112 that night. Every power chord was a gut punch, in an extremely good way.

(I forgot to mention I was high on mescaline the entire show.)

I first saw him at Antone's in Austin, TX about 15 years ago, with about 150 other people, and he's been one of my favorite guitarists ever since. He was the opening act for Peter Frampton in 2013 when I saw him in an arena setting.

1978, 1983 (x3), and 1987 for the arena shows. I also saw him at Avalon in Boston (which I'm pretty sure had a 600 people capacity) in 1996.

His live tone is just pure butter. Probably better than Eric Johnson.

Inna Selez 02-08-2017 10:59 AM

I'm scared of such huge crowds of people.
