So Friday I was at a concert in the second row, 15 feet away from the performers. This unto itself was one of the greatest moments of my pathetic life.
Before the show starts, however, the lady sitting directly behind me starts chatting. Turns out she isn't a huge fan, plus her friend ditched her and she was by herself. Boring story short, she ends up *giving* me two backstage passes to meet the band after the show.
My sister, sitting in the balcony, cried when I called to give her the news.
So live music! Your favorite music is always better when it's too loud and you're surrounded by other people who love the act just as much as you do. What has been your favorite moment of a live performance? Catch a t-shirt thrown by a band member? Been pulled up on stage in Courtney-Cox/Bruce-Springsteen moment?

I really need to give up this thread thing. Everytime I try to make one, I look carefully (obviously I'm fucking blind), but then end up making some other huge gaffe.
The music was horrible and then someone got stabbed.
The show was a success.

The only shows we have around here are shitty hardcore or shitty jam band stuff and I fucking hate all that jazz. Wu-Tang did come here, once, though, and my friend smoked a blunt with Ghostface Killa and another friend of mine got up on stage and freestyled with him.
Also, once Lil Wayne came to town and all my friends who went to see his show came back with more money in cash then they spent on the tickets 'cus Lil Wayne was just throwing that shit off the stage.
It probably goes without saying that it was fantastic.
If you don't want any bodily harm don't go into a mosh pit
if you don't want to get thrown out don't trespass
Mosh pits are awesome.
Oh, those weren't my reasons for not liking live shows. I just think they're noisy and I don't like big crowded smelly hot events full of drunk people.
Those were just examples of shows gone awry for me. I totally understand why people enjoy live music and sorta wish I did too.
Yes. Yes they are. Have you seen the photos?
oh necessarily.
good job with that.

I ended up next to the stage, helping form a line with security as we fought back wave after wave of drunk people trying to clear just enough room for Ted and band to play. It was awesome. I fucking loved it.
not even once
I wanted to go to NBT but I have to work
The last show I went to had me surrounded by girls that ranged from ages 13-16. Then the guy who was performing jumped into the crowd and tried to get me to start dancing around (I guess he wanted to create a pit or something) and there was no way. That was the end for me.
