Current Events > Who is the most famous musician you've ever seen live?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've never seen a musical performance but one of my girlfriends is a pretty famous musical artist in a niche genre. She's also been name dropped by some alt rock artists that people here have heard of.

Roger Waters I guess. My uncle randomly invited me to see him about ten ish years ago even though I'm not super close with my uncle and I'm not a Pink Floyd fan lol.

Was a pretty entertaining show tho

Paul McCartney, 3 times. First time was at Bonnaroo 2013 which was like $300 for the 4-day festival that also had Tom Petty, among many others

incidentally I also saw Weird Al there

Probably snoop dog in 2007.

Probably Korn in 2015

Paul McCartney in the late 90s with my mother, she paid and I'm not sure how much the cost was.

Nine Inch Nails/Jinjer. Hated NIN but didn't mind Jinjer so much. Oh and Celine Dion who I also hated.

AC/DC, twice.

Paid 150 for a floor seat. Then i thought, what if this is the last time they ever roll through here? Sold it and bought a front row seat for 800 bucks off stubhub. Absolutely don't regret it. At all. Fucking awesome show.

Reading Brian Johnson's book which came out a little while ago, right in the prologue he talks about the concert in Edmonton (the same one i mentioned above) and how it was cold and raining and none of the fans cared, which we didn't. Really cool to see him mention it, even though that led into why that concert was the start of what spurred his hearing loss.

Metallica or John Fogerty

According to this, my top 3 so far are Rolling Stones, Backstreet Boys, and Def Leppard

In the 90s? Probably like 30$ for both tickets

BB King didn't want to go, but uI didn't have a choice. Not to say he was bad, I'm just not into his music.

Creedence Clearwater Revival-They were great.

Had a chance to see Blue Oyster Cult and Gin Blossom, but no one wanted to go with me so I didn't go.

Probably Radiohead at MSG in 2018.

Taylor Swift on her Reputation tour. Like $200 for nosebleeds.

Radiohead in 2001 or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in 2005. I did see the Offspring in 1999 fwiw. That was my first concert oddly enough.

Radiohead was 54.50 Canadian
Tom Petty was 40 American
The Offspring was 23 American.

Ive seen Drake KDot and Weezer so whoever is more famous from those

either Drake or Kendrick Lamar.

the ticket wasn't that much (it was at a local college), so someone bought a few and gave me one.

Club Paradise tour? I saw them at UC Davis!

I've only been to 1 concert in my life so far , but Incubus (one of my favs) , I forgot how much but it wasn't expensive and they ruled.

Probably Weird Al or the Beastie Boys

Alice Cooper

Roger Waters

that's where I saw them too!

edit: A$ap Rocky was part of the tour, too.

Massive Attack or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Not too high on the pop-u-lar-ity meter, but they were great

Stevie Wonder or Metallica probably

I saw the Mighty Mighty Bosstones for 5 dollars in 2019 I believe. Some people were angry because IT USED TO BE FREE (these shows in the park or w/e). But frigging five dollars to see them with Lowest of the Low. The MMB killed it!!!! The three bands I mentioned before were way more popular I think, but holy hell was that a good show. Last concert I've ever been to (though I never went to many) Heck I was 17 when I saw the Offspring and that was my first concert.

Radiohead, large venue in Chicago. Kid A/Amnesiac tour 2001. Cant recall price.

Sweet that was the same tour I saw but in Barrie, Ontario. It was outdoors it was beautiful.

Never been to a concert in my life

Probably green day

Beck or The Killers

Not sure which is more popular than the other.

Hmm...Billy Joel, I guess? Not sure who's deciding is "most famous".

I was front row for U2 in 03 or 04
It was a great show

For example, I've seen U2 at least 5 times.

Bod Dylan, technically. Though I left halfway through. I was there for one of the opening acts.

Aside from that, probably Tool.

Ariana Grande

Probably Drake or Kendrick.

Got tickets for free cuz I used to work at a wealthy condominium and one of the residents was the owner of the arena. He would occasionally let the staff use one of his suites for hockey games and concerts.

Also seen Radiohead a bunch of times. They still count as famous?

Yeah probably was better up in Canada.

This was Grant Park in Chicago. It was near 100F outside, and they were charging like $6 for a bottle of water in the venue.

People were rightfully pissed, and the band even put out a statement at the end that they were unaware of the price gouging and had no control over the venue management.

Still though, great show.

David Matthews.
