That's more than me. I've seen New Kids in the Block, Oasis, Pearl Jam, U2, Bush, No Doubt and some one I'm forgetting. New Kids and U2 I've seen more than once.

Smack, the Barenaked Ladies were awesome. Do not be ashamed. Wish I'd seen them live
Damn... big bands there.

Ima pray for you.
Been to more than I remember but I did get to see the Beastie Boys in 2004, Avenged Sevenfold was awesome when I went to the Warped tour in Miami. Atlanta used to have something good with Music Midtown but they've been falling off lately.
Red is my spirit animal. I wish I could see any of those acts.
I saw Coldplay during their Viva la Vida Tour in Toronto, and it was one hell of a show.

They still do a great show! Just miss Steven Page sometimes. Every time I've taken someone they were impressed with how fun the show is.
I want to see Pearl Jam someday.

Steven Page era Barenaked Ladies is still the best.

I really wish I'd seen them when he was with them. Took it for granted.
That's when I saw them too, I was really surprised by how well the put on a show. It was a real experience.

Yeah absolutely.
Pearl Jam was great. I saw U2 on the Saturday and Eddie Vedder came out and performed with U2. I saw Pearl Jam two days later and Bono came out and sang Keep on Rockin' in the Free World with Pearl Jam as the final song with the lights all up. Two of my favourite concerts ever.

I opened for the Black Eyed Peas, Bedouin Sound Clash, Big Wreck, and Down With Webster, but I'm too self conscious to stick around after shows so I booked it out of there. Saw Big Wreck sound check.
Page was the band, in my mind. Though I realize that's not fair to say. I'm sure they still put on a fun show, but you can't replace his voice or coke-induced creativity
And yeah, I've had a few opportunities to see Pearl Jam but have always passed for one reason or another. Vedder will probably perform into his 80s which makes me procrastinate. Should really get on that
Lost count of all the concerts I went to when I first moved to Toronto for the first few years. Few stick out, think my fav had been seeing Steve Vai at Massey Hall. Just perfection. edit: Thanks for the reminder Calamari, seeing Iron Maiden perform Phantom of The Opera was incredible too.
Haven't been to any in so long, maybe I'll break that trend and see something this summer sometime, or at least Blind Guardian in October.

Been to a trillion concerts, but the best by far was Iron Maiden at The Forum during their Somewhere Back In Time tour during the spring of aught eight.

Not many big bands come through here(most just do van/victoria) and I pretty much only like metal/electronica so mostly just local scene stuff. Would have loved to see tool but they were too expensive and sold out in like an hr. Cannibal Corpse cancelled months before they were supposed to play.
Oh I got random free tickets to see 54/40. They were alright. Seen excision a few times. No one really big though.

Windows 10 is gud.
I'm downloading build 10240. I read that that's RTM and what everyone's basically getting (with a different build number) on the 29th.

I'm on the insider fast ring and that's basically what we've had for two weeks now. It's obviously not perfect yet, but it's got that '8 reigned in' feel like 7 had a 'vista reigned in' feel.
For the record I thought Vista and 8 were fine operating systems.
Same here. I never had issues with Vista and 8 is great, and 8.1 is even better.
So, if I install this now, it's an official Windows copy, right? It'll update to match the wide release versions?

Nah I'm in the Okanagan Soc
So you're not quite drunken Duncan, just drunken?
And speaking of concerts, I've been to:
GZA
Raekwon
Ghostface Killah
Deftones
Alice in Chains
Pretty Lights
and ugh, Three Days Grace. But in my defense it was during my Heretic simp phase, and my friend at time really liked shitty emo bands. You figure a girl in her early 20's would've outgrown that kinda shit.
AWWWWWWW YIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Update on my thoughts on Kendrick Lamar: I think the back half of 'u' is really brave.
As you were.
As you were.
what the fuck????
AA SAVED US. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Still a few more days before the trade deadline, so I won't judge AA's moves until after.
Reyes traded for Tulo.
Reyes is one of my favourite players.
I like him too but fucking Tulo... if he doesn't get killed by the turf that is
anyway wtf

:lol Rockies. I hate that pathetic franchise, they could relocate and I wouldn't even notice at this point.
I was listening to Sportsnet 590 and they were actually defending a Toronto athlete. It was surprising.
They were defending Jose Reyes against criticism about his work ethic and general compete level. The show dedicated a good 15 minutes to pumping his tires.
