Hey!
we almost all, beside photography , are music fans, so i would like to hear from you, if you go to the concerts and what are your favourite ones. Yesterday i went to see Australian Pink Floyd Show and i must say they are really good.Maybe even better, i am afraid :-) the quality of their sound is very good and i heard that even the real members of the group are their fans.

if you get the chance, they are worth a go!
;-)

Nice thread, Barbara!

Last concert was a Dutch band called "Moke" in a small local pop podium in my hown town Deventer.
Before that, we were at the Pinkpop festival last summer with "Snow Patrol" as main performance - Brilliant!

Next scheduled is a concert of Muse in June...!

Ballet - Romeo and Julia, yesterday

Not been to one for a while, last was Queens of the stone age.

Ah, what a thread!

I had an amazing experience last summer, I got the chance (through an invitation at Twitter to a friend of mine!!!) to see a secret gig by Pixies - the best rock band in the world. It was perhaps 150 people there, at a very small place. It was simply superb, very informal, lots of laughter and very very good. I borrowed my wife's compact camera and shoot a couple of videos:

Will be going to a Mariah Carey concert tomorrow - and looking forward to it!

Fantastic stuff Johan. I saw them on their first UK tour when they supported the Throwing muses back in the late 80s. One of the best bands out there.

Coldplay quite a while ago, Arctic Monkeys on Thursday. :)

going to see the great italian songwriter gianmaria testa in berlin next thursday. can't wait for it :) cheers mauro

I guess the last one was Walter Trout with his band a while back.

Next will be Hendrik Freischlader and band in March (a very talented German Blues guitarist)
After that, Joe Bonamassa is on my agenda in July.

Sounds good. Any concrete dates already known?

My last concert was Tower of Power, still full of grooving energy.

20. January
Schubert "The unfinished" and Orff "Carmina Burana" in the Concert Hall, played and sung by the Oslo Philharmonic + Choir and Sølvguttene.

Thåström in Malmö, GREAT !

I had the good fortune to get hold of two tickets, and had to wait 17 months, to see Mylène Farmers magnificent 2nd concert in Stade de Genève last September.
30 000 spectators experienced Mylène Farmer, as to quote Tribune de Genève; in another dimension.
Une spectacle with nice weather and a full moon above the stage.

This clip is from her concert in Stade de France the following Saturday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z1czhkueak

17th July, 6:00 p.m., Bonn, Museumsplatz/Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 4, together with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Bowskill Band

I shoot concerts, so the last one I went to rarely reflects my taste in music.

Most recent was a country-rock band from Perth called Kill Devil Hills last Friday night.

Before that, Al Green.

Let's see, Joe Bonamassa I think was the last one - in Seattle. Worth it!

Music is my life, but I never go to concerts, because all my favorite composers, conductors, performers etc. are dead! But I might go to Hélène Grimaud's concert at 30. Mai 2010. I like her Schumanns...

WOW! That's really cool! Really cool!

Oef!! That was a very long time ago! Bruce Springsteen in 1985 in Rotterdam in the Soccer Stadium "The Kuip" !

Patty Smith 2 weeks ago for a Haiti benefit.. She is one COOL lady, and great in concert. Friday, off to BB King and Buddy Guy..
Woo hooo!!!

At 5 years, with tenor José Carreras in the yard of Coimbra University - Portugal with former students orfeon ... :-)

This should have been the last for me, last summer.
Unfortunately Dave Gahan injured a leg in the concert at Bilbao, Spain, (??... well, at least that was the official version of the band) and the concert in Porto, was cancelled the day before. Despite this, I could see Nouvelle Vague (which I liked a lot) and one of the best Portuguese bands, The Gift.

Look here:

Before this concert, I saw Keane and Rolling Stones.

Muse - Lisbon 29.11 - was a great discover - amazing stage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6w6ex-njB4

Just got home from seeing Polyphonic Spree, and I'm still coming down. It's the 3rd time I've seen them and they were as amazing as always.

Had to keep reminding myself that I was there to shoot, not sing and dance!

I was at the: lars and the hands of light concert. Great danish band: http://www.myspace.com/larsandthehandsoflight

Lars ?

photographer, singer, and they tell me he has a mean crochet hand as well ;-)

An Opus ensemble classic concert two weeks ago.
Before that the AC/DC Live in Lisbon (Wanna see some pics?)

Last concert I saw was Rush (my favourite band) during their Snakes and Arrows tour. See them about 15 times since they first appeared in the UK and they just keep getting better and better - and they were brilliant to start with.

My next concert is Tangerine Dream at the Rotal Albert Hall in April. 40 years since they last played there. Again another favourite oldy of mine and, without question, a band that heralded the dawn of electronic / synth music. Can't wait....

The last concert I visited was Radiohead in the Westerpark in Amsterdam in 2008!
It's time they come again!

heya a bit forgotten thread needs a refreshment...
yesterday i went to Vienna to see the legend from Texas- Willie Nelson. It needs no further explanation, does it?
;-)

last year, Cradle Of Filth in Sydney. Amazing!

Right at the front of the stage, in the photographers pit. It's where I spend most of my weekend nights ;-)

The last (really great concert ) I saw was - Iggy and the Stooges - in Ljubljana (Hala Tivoli)....was amazing , specially with Steven MacKay on saxophone ....

And I'm the world's forgotten boy
The one who's searchin', searchin' to destroy.........;)

ohh...it was in last August..
it was U2 ...360 Tour...

it was second concert of U2 that i have been too....and i just can't wait for another one!

; - )

Symphony orchestra of Bavaria - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano concerto No. 18 B-Dur, KV 456

Last Saturday, MUSE in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

It was brilliant...

Skank Anansie - Coliseu, Oporto, Portugal.

Hard to find another power of nature like Skin's voice!
She may be ugly... but i would marry her if she promisses to sing just for me everyday :-))))

ohh...Skunk Anansie

i was on her concert when se was in Poland.....about 4 years ago...

you are right...she has wonderful voice...
i remember that after her concert ....she was the only one i was listen to while riding a car...for almost 3 months :))

ohhh...and i really don't find her ugly :)

Rock in Rio Lisbon Parque da Bela Vista
- Days of great music - Muse and Ramstein my fav -

Johannes Brahms

Violin Concert D-Dur op 77 (Frankfurt Philharmonic)

The last concert I was to, was in New Zealand. I saw the band (one could say that it's nearly an oldie band ;) ) Dragon.

Last was Volbeat in Copenhagen, next will be Foo Fighters in Copenhagen and on my wish list is Joe Bonamassa

Last on for me : U2 in Paris in july 2009 and sept 2010. Soooo good. And trully amazing stage and great great show
And also Green Day in nov 2009. That's really good too
Liters of sweat for both :p. That's Rock & Roll !

The Peninsula Felsziget Festival in Romania and it was absolutely amazing! :D The most amazing part was that I put my hands on a press pass and could go front stage and take lots of pictures.

Joe Bonamassa in Amsterdam on October 6th 201.

Great Blues-Rock guitarist.

Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi

YOU WILL LOVE THIS!

wow, i have never heard of them before, their music is really great, thanx for sharing!
:-)

Wow, Steve, they are awesome. I regularly attend a Folk Music Festival every summer but the last concert I saw was a  Blues Festival with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings whom probably no one knows :

AMEN!!

Queen in Uppsala a year ago or so!

Queen...huh? That does it, NOW I'm practically being forced to tag you in another photo AND keep in mind you asked for it. lololololol

Beethoven's 9 th. Symphony performed by "Deutsche Philharmoniker". It was actually a benefit concert for Japan.

George Michael in Oslo.....a good one!

Ops! Hehehe... ;)

You only can mean Elisabeth II (wasn't aware that she gives concerts), because the group called Queen died when Freddie Mercury passed away 20 years ago.

Yeah, you could say that, but there was a concert with the rest of the guys and they did call themselves Queen =)

A whole concert with the real Queen would be awesome of course, but maybe a little bit tiresome with "God Save the Queen" for the fifth time in a row... ;)

Have seen the old Queen somewhere in the 80es in the Berlin Waldbühne ( http://www.waldbuehne-berlin.de/startseite.html ). Although I wasn't a fan of Queen, their concert was the much better one of the two acts this evening :-)

Roger Waters The Wall several months ago Never gets old their music.

I hate paying the price for tickets but Floyd is a must before it's no longer. I'd also like to see McCartney, an opportunity I blew a month or so back... that I'll keep blowing, I figure. Seems to be a never ending trend with me.

I dig this little Jazz venue in Greenwich Village called The 55 Bar. Mike Stern, Norah Jones (Little Willies) and Steely Dan veterans roost there...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBAxYedSZHQ&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL7DAE1BC83F2945BC

The drummer in that clip is Kim Thompson who has been with Beyonce for years.

Gilmour plays better, Waters sings better, a pitty we can't get them all together...only one, last time!
;-)
going to see McCartney, next month in Bologna... they say he plays for 3-4 hours and lots of Beatles.
let's wait and see (hear)
;-)

Beethoven's Egmont and 5th. performed by hr sinfonieorchester in Frankfurter Alte Oper

Malk de Koijn last saturday. Best concert I have ever been to.

Joe Bonamassa, Amsterdam, October 2011

BLUES ... what else :-)

Tom Jones, Arena - Zagreb.
great, he played all his hits....just a shame, that to the hall was half empty!

Barbara maybe cause people don't really have 200+ kunas to spend on a concert, tough times :-|

It's unfortunately been a while ago, namely in August. But I went with my oldest daughter (14 at the time) to Lowlands  A three day festival with music, film, cabaret, ballet, and lectures.

I've seen a lot of music but this stayed with me the most

Seasick Steve (brilliant!)
Skunk Anansie
arctic monkeys
DeWolff (something you really must check out)
Within Temptation (for my daughter, not my cup of tea:))
Selah Sue (beautifull and fantastic Belgium singer )

The last concert I visited was Eric Bibb, great blues.
