Concerts are cool....in all, it doesn't seem like I go
to them very often but it feels like I do.
These are my general and very biased opinions about the
concerts I have been to since November 1996. Yes, I almost always say that
it was the best and I would go see them again. I think the only one I didn't
really like was the first Smashing Pumpkins concert. Too loud = bad.
Yeah, concerts are cool.
And I know, before Powerman 5000, I neglected to write
reviews for two of my concerts. What can I say? I was really tired. I'll
try to get them done soon, along with the poor Depeche Mode review.

My Official Top Five
Concerts as of 11/26
1. Metallica w/ Michael
Kamen and the SF Symphony : simply because it was a once in a life
time event.
2. Powerman 5000
: because they are so cool and I was practically in their laps for the
whole show!
3. Tori Amos :
the 5.5 show, simply because she played Tear in Your Hand.
4. Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy : The energy! The swing dancing crowd!
5. TIE: Earth Wind
and Fire / Duran Duran : Because I totally enjoyed myself even though
both concerts were kind of out of my musical vein.
