Just got back from seeing El Ten Eleven at the Rickshaw Stop. Two annoying indie bands opened up for them so we skipped them and just went for the main act. Was an awesome concert and they were giving out an awesome energy. Sadly except for a handful of people up front most people were pretty lame. Bunch of dumb hipsters off to the sides and back too cool to dance. Some dude in a beanie right in front of me was high as hell on something kept falling back into me.
Despite a few mechanical failures they pressed on like warriors and played a heck of a show. It was worth the $14.

Its been such a long time since I've been to a hardcore/hardcore-punk show. But man Terror was once again, crazy and got a good stage diving fest. 
They played with Your Demise, Stick To Your Guns, and some other locals that I cant really remember to recall.

Just got back from Keith Urban. Can't sleep, ears are still going...
Amazing concert. I'm a big country fan and my girlfriend is a fan so I took her to it tonight for her birthday.
Music aside, as obviously I like it or I wouldn't have gone, but the performance was fantastic.
Did a few covers and as Russell Crowe is here filming a movie he came out and sang a Johnny Cash song and then Space Cowboy with Keith Urban and his band.
The opening band, The Band Perry, I didn't mind either. To finish their set they did a cover of Fat Bottom Girls which was pretty good and got everybody off their seats early.
He also made sure to mention our beloved Canucks a few times and spot lighted and showed one of the Canucks on the stage's screen. That resulted in a massive standing ovation which was pretty cool. On top of that he gave away two signed guitars to people nowhere near the stage and held a 3 person singing competition to have them sing the rest of the song with him which was also good for some laughs.
All in all the ticket was worth every penny and I'll go see him again when he's back. 10/10 from me.

I was at that same gig in 2010, I loved every second of it and until recently it was by far the best gig I had been to. I missed the tour in 2006 so just couldn't miss out a second time around. The 2006 gig sounds like it was better though, more of a show.
THE best gig that I have been to though was also the last one I went to, Foo Fighters at the MK Bowl in July. Where Muse gave a perfect performance, it had very little character, like they were under pressure the whole way through to be note perfect. The Foo's really looked at home on the stage though, really interacting with the crowd and just looked comfortable. When it came to the songs, they were full of energy and to top it all of, the guest performers were brilliant too (Alice Cooper and Roger Taylor Saturday when I saw them, John Paul Jones and Seasick Steve Sunday).

I would kill to go to a SOAD show. They played here at San Diego 2 months ago, but I wasn't able to attend since I had work that day
Yesterday, saw No Bragging Rights, Elitist and some other local bands, but damn they destroyed the place. Lots of mic grabs,stage dives and crowd killing.

Its been a while since my last show, but it was a TDWP show with Attack Attack opening up for them. Both had great energy, with Attacks singer stage diving while singing and eventually hanging off the rafters. TDWP was just super focused and put on a killer set (they were touring for their Zombie EP). The venue helped a lot due to the extremly small pit area, which boreders the stage. Its also sunk in a bit, with speakers all around it pointed inward.

5 more concerts planned so far for the rest of the year and 2 already for 2013. I was limited with funds this year, and 2 of the bigger shows I wanted to see got cancelled. (Overkill, God Forbid, SuidAkrA, Diamond Plate) as well as (Lamb of God, Gojira, Dethklok) Was only interested in Overkill and Gojira really but still sad that they got cancelled.

Went to see Take That with my girlfriend. :GULP: I had to go because I bought her 2 tickets and she couldn't find anyone that wasn't already going. So I had to go.
On a happier note, I just bought 6 tickets to go watch Jason Manford next December! Happy days!

Having seen Keane last night I can say they are a very polished live act. It was an unusual gig for me as everywhere was seated even the floor area (although I stood all the way through) and the majority of the audience was a fair bit older than myself. Desipite this it was a good crowd who intereacted well with the band.
Also this show was performed 'in the round', only the second time I have seen this stage design used for the entire gig (U2 being the other) and I must say it worked very well. None of the crowd was neglected and with all of the musicians rotating round the stage we were able to see everything. The main advantage I think though is the lighting capabilities it gives. I will add some pictures later but it was one of the best lit gigs I have ever been to with the central stage being lit from all sides and above in a clever and well executed way.
So overall it was a very good gig. And tomorrow I am hoping to purchase tickets to ser Athlete next May
