I have been to a couple of festivals in Ireland so I guess I have seen quite a lot of acts, I won't list them all though!
The most notable are;
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
The Who
Daft Punk
Arcade Fire
James Brown
Snow Patrol
Kaiser Chiefs
Scissor Sisters
Maximo Park
The Kooks
Calvin Harris
Razorlight
I guess lots of these are British and lots of people won't have heard of them!

Yes, it's a great song and I hope they do it justice. When I saw Journey they broke up six months later and it was heartbreaking. I really liked them.

Another eclectic mix of artists. Open Arms by Journey is a great song, I am so stoked that Boyz II Men have recorded it for their new album due out in November.

Oh my heavens.... If I had endless money and lived somewhere where there were concerts every night, that's what I would be doing.

Good Charlotte (twice)

The Mansfields (local band but they've opened for some pretty big names around the country, including Kill Hannah, where I saw them)
Goldfinger
Dillinger Escape Plan
Augustana
Plain White T's
Panic at the Disco
Nightmare of You
The Toasters
um...
Going to see Social Distortion in two and a half weeks....

I really haven't been to that many concerts. I've seen other famous people though, like comedians, etc.
As for concerts, I've seen 98 Degrees (dorky I know, I was in HS!), Dave Matthews Band, and another band that for the life of me I can't think of their name!! Argh. I saw them in college and they start with an S but that's all I can remember. Darn it.

The last and the best concert I have been to was most definitely Take That in July. It was fantastic, a proper show. It was called THE CIRCUS and it was a concert and a circus in one. Brilliant. Wembley Stadium was chokkablok.
I have not been to many concerts but I have seen
Diana Ross, The Jacksons, Earth Wind & Fire, U2, James Morrison,

I have seen Barry Manilow six or more times; Monkees (1), Beach Boys (1), Ted Neely (1), Stella Parton (1), Sandi Patti (1), Ray something who used to sing "The Streak" (1), Anne Murray (1), Frankie Valens (1). I think that's it.
I decorated Barry Manilow's dressing room in Evansville. That was fun.

I love music. Rock is the best in my opinion. I have always wanted to go to concerts, but I just do not go due to price or how long I have to drive. The only concert I ever saw was free and in Rochester, NY. I saw the Marshall Tucker Band. They were incredible. They knew how to work the crowd and get us very involved and helped everyone have a fantastic time.

well speaking of concertsm my son recently went to see lil wayne, young jeezy,soldier boy and couple of others. he said he enjoyed it. it was his first concert. hes only 20 years old. I have seen so many in my lifetime too long to list but i will give you a few. Mary j blige, Xscape, ll coolj, frankie beverly and maze, brian mcknight, kc & jojo, yolanda adams and many more. all of the concerts then were awesome and reasonable. now a days these young artist coming up are charging outrageous prices. its cool though they have to make a living too.
