Has anyone ever been to a concert before? How was it? Was the band better live? Are you planning on going to a concert soon?

my first concert was NIN in 2009 and then VNV Nation in LA back in 2012 and this December I'm hopefully going to be seeing Skinny Puppy and VNV in Chicago.

I don't go to a whole lot of shows

oh and to answer your question, seeing the bands live were spiritual experiences.

You can feel the energy from the crowd, it's so special being around fellow fans of music you hold near and dear to your heart.
Seeing the actual musicians up so close and under the same roof as you is also a very special feeling.

The sound live is really like none other.
You can feel the music vibrating throughout your body, it's beautiful.

Buddha Brand as well. They've also collaborated with Jeru the Damaja, another favorite of mine, so that's cool too.

No experience as far as I can remember. I've listened to some live-recordings though and sometimes the bands seem livelier on-stage, with solos and composed on-the-go intermezzos between songs. I probably would like to see a live show one day but nearly all the musicians I'd like to see live are either dead or retired, lol, so yeah...

I've been to hundreds of gigs. Hard to pick a favourite, some that stand out were the first time I saw Melt-Banana, Clinic at a festival was incredible, and Depeche Mode had a really cool stage setup!

I saw Megadeth twice, the first time was brilliant, the second time was okay but i think I got stabbed? I had my top off in the moshpit and noticed halfway through a big bleeding gash in my side. Maybe I got caught on someone's spiky belt or something. The first time was a great vibe, but the second time there were guys with swastika tattoos on one side and young yobs fighting each other on the other side, and Job For A Cowboy were a support act and they got booed off stage

I saw Melt-Banana for the third time a few nights ago. I love them! They were good but it seemed much the same set as last time I saw them, I guess they haven't released new music since then

>>10 Woulda been cool! Though any time someone mentions Black Midi I get my hopes up thinking they're talking about the genre, but the band's okay

>>12 Edinburgh, at the Caves, a cool old stone building with a high arched ceiling. I was up on the balcony looking down. The last two were at Mono and Stereo in Glasgow. I've only ever seen them as a duo, I would have loved to see them as a 4-piece. I want to say a big thank you to anon who posted 3 Melt-Banana mp3s on soviet russia's /m/ in 2007 and introduced me to all this great music!

I've seen a few live shows. Some big and others in some well known clubs and bars. I always felt a bit uncomfortable because I'm a lot smaller than most people. Moshing crowds are annoying and the constant smell of sweat and filth was a big turn off from enjoying anything else. Mostly the music isn't as good and sometimes you can't properly hear things due to it just simply being "too loud" not just from the other people but the band's equipment or the acoustics of the place you're in. I recommend someone to attempt the experience at least once in their life. But if you want to see live music, try something more calm and smaller as you'll more than likely enjoy it much better. Unless you're into the whole concert scene of moshing and sharing sweat with the people next to you.

>Did you by chance used to get on beey?

Idk what that means mate but they're one of my favourite bands! I've actually seen them again since that post and it was a beautiful moment. The first gig I ever went to was a big free all-day thing Belle & Sebastian put on in Glasgow Botanic Gardens, in June 2004. There was B&S, Camera Obscura, the Trashcan Sinatras and another band I think were called V-Twin. I've loved them since then. This video was filmed there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQmadzpCCoc I also met the drummer from Teenage Fanclub there!

Well last summer B&S and Camera Obscura both played at a festival I went to, so it was a nice little full-circle kinda thing seeing them again. Me and my pals took acid on the day they were playing and, well, I cried all the way through Camera Obscura's set haha! It was partly the acid, partly thinking about how much those lovely songs meant to me and particular times in my life they brought to mind, but it was also partly because their keyboardist Carey had died since then and I was thinking of her. It was a family-friendly festival and I was dressed as a bunny, and little kids around me were saying “mummy, why's the bunny crying?”
