Oooh, let's see...
The first ones were amazing because they were super close seats:
-Elton John in Manchester, NH. FRONT ROW! My mom somehow managed to snag a pair of tix (for face, mind you) the day of the concert. We had no idea we were in the front row; we just saw Row A on the floor, section 3 (or something like that) so we figured we were in the front row of the tiers of sections farther back...NOPE! And we were on the side where Elton's piano was. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
-U2 under the Brooklyn Bridge. A free, "surprise" concert. I camped out all day, and ended up less than 10 rows from the stage. An amazing concert. The crowd was fabulous, and the band was simple and rocking. I love the big production of the tour and all too, but it was great to just have the four of them on a small stage like that.
-U2 at MSG: 11-21-05. GA tix, ended up in the second row between Bono and Adam Clayton (smiles and eye contact glaore! FABULOUS!!!) A great concert all around. Patti Smith opened (her first ever show at MSG) and U2 closed with Bad!!!
Other great shows:
-REM at MSG. Their first concert after Bust was reelected. They opened the concert (for the first time ever) with It's the End of the World as We Know It. Rocking, emotional concert.
-Paul McCartney: Hartford 2002 and MSG 2005. He puts on one hell of a show!
My pair of noteworthy "just listened to" concerts (hanging out on the lawn at Central Park's Summer Stage)
-Jack Johnson: Absolutely GORGEOUS night, and there was just something really beautiful about laying in Central Park with a good friend looking up at the sky (and actually being able to see stars!) listening to Jack's mellow music)
-Arcade Fire: A sticky, sweltering day, but the crowd (even on the lawn outside) was SO into it. Everyone outside cheered like crazy after all the songs, and Bowie even joined them out on stage during the encore for Bowie's Queen Bitch. The was a huge roar from the crowd inside, then I had an Almost Famous "It's BOWWWWIIIEEEE!!!" moment as soon as he started to sing. GREAT! Closing with Wake Up was also amazing!
Eh, guess that's enough for now.
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
