I've only been to 3 concerts, so it's hard to make a choice.

You know what's sad? Well.......it's actually pretty happy, but strange.

I've been to more OLP concerts than of every other band put together. (not counting openers for OLP). Default and Nickelback both are the runners up with........4!!!!!!!! how sad is that??? I think the majority of my concert going energy goes to OLP, lol.

But thats how it should be :mrgreen:

What was it that made it the worst (if the band was great)?


Easy. I went with two friends who wouldn't quit fighting with each other.

I swear the next time I see the Hip I'm going alone and I'm going to enjoy myself.

first: ringo and his allstar band in like june '91 or '92.

most recent: olp at hammerstein august '02

best: olp at irving (the first night) april '01

worst: probably one of the local shows i went to earlier this year, i missed the band i wanted to see...except for like one or two songs, and all the other bands sucked. either that or the olp hammerstein show, my dad kept complaining about how loud it was (he's going deaf and it hurts his ears) and my brother was crying because he couldn't see when they started playing. last time i see a show with either of them.

That's an orgasm's worth of great music. 8O
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

FIRST: Beach Boys, some date in 86 or 87, Clarkston, MI. This almost doesn't count because I was four or five and don't remember it very well.

MOST RECENT: Live, August 30th, 2002, Pontiac, MI. It was such a kickass concert, and completely free, too, except for parking. I talked to Ed Kowalcyk for like twenty minutes after the show, but that's a different story entirely.

BEST: Our Lady Peace, July 11th, 2002, Sarnia Bayfest. It was pretty excellent, but that's just to be expected. The best OLP show I've seen so far.

WORST: Black Crowes, late September 2001, E.M.U., Ypsilanti, MI. The band was alright, very vibrant, and Chris Robinson was excellent. He kicked some guy out for pushing and was basically like, "We don't need this shit right now, man," and then he played Remedy, dedicating it to 9/11. "Music can be the remedy.." We left halfway through because my friend was tripping so heavily, though, so that wasn't fun.

First: the Beach Boys, Hartford Civic Center, sometime in 1986, I think.

Most Recent: Jeep World Outside Tour, Tweeter Center, Mansfield, MA, only saw Train, 17 August 2002. I got backstage to meet Train as well.

Best: tie between Great Big Sea, 9 March 2002, Avalon, Boston (the size of the crowd broke fire codes, and I had a horrid cold but I loved the concert anyway) and same band, 10 May 2002, Major's Hill Park, Tulip Festival, Ottawa. Both great shows, great crowds, I lost my voice (not hard to do when you have a cold) and my hearing, and I got lots of eye contact from Alan Doyle ;) And strangely, I met GBS both those days too.

Worst:

artist I actually like: GBS, 10 August 2002, Harbour Station, Saint John. The fans didn't understand rock concert etiquette (like that you're supposed to stand at a rock concert) and the set list hadn't changed in five months. (And in case it seems that meeting the band has an effect, this was the night of the Doyle hugs.)

artist I don't like: Jewel, sometime in July 1999, the Meadows, Hartford.. I only went to the show because my then-best friend liked Jewel, and I still can't believe I went.

Next: Mixfest, 21 September 2002, FleetCenter, Boston. I am only going to see John Mayer, as far as I can tell right now.

I don't listen to that so I wouldn't know, haha.

I just think Mix is so aweful... I used to listen to it tons when I was younger, but now...I think it's way to repetitive. You end up hearing the same exact songs 20 times a day.

Lander in the Morning is funny though. But I miss Lynn Hoffman (sp?).
