do raves count as concerts?
if so, i remember some party in new york in the early 90s. someone dropped a pepper gas bomb in the place and it wasnt far from me. we were evacuated, cops were everywhere, dogs chased me, then i had to drive back to Toronto in the pouring rain tripping like crazy while everyone else slept.

Saw Gavin DeGraw at the 930 club a few years ago. On the way there another driver hit me on the beltway and while there my damaged car was broken in to.
Virgin Fest 1- I was kicked in the head by a crowd surfer and had to leave early. Virgin Fest 2- on the way home from day 1 another driver hit my car while I was stopped and I couldn't make it back for day 2.

Cat Power at the Ottobar.
Modest Mouse at the Black Cat (first night)

Ahem. There's a big difference between Glasto and Bull Run. Namely, at bull run hell was went through (not just the damn rain, but the heat and humidity so bad that people were carted away every 15 minutes due to
heat stroke) and we got nothing. No show, not even an opener.
I'd love to deal with 3 days of mud and rain and in my wellies at Glasto. Heck, I actually thoroughly enjoyed the torrential downpour at Nissan for Radiohead this past time, it made it all the more triumphant that I finally got to see them.

And I forgot to mention that the trees caught on fire. Not sure how they managed that, because of the deluge going on, but lightning struck the trees we had been standing beneath in order to get out from under the relentless sun only a few hours earlier.

haha i was at that show. i thought all the bands played great. but yea, some of those guys were out of control. there was a huge mosh pit for the 1st band and i remember 2 guys just spinning out and crashing into people and knocking over a camera which was filming the show.

My vote would be being about 12 years old and convincing my mom to take me to go see The Tubes, as it was the only way I could get to go.
Sitting through the Mondo Bondage theatrics and the rape scene that was part of Mr. Hate while next to my mom scarred me for life.

Mine would have to be seeing Flogging Molly at the Norva in Norfolk, VA. I only went because my other roommates were going and I didn't want to be alone in the apartment.
Their music really isn't my thing to begin with, the opening bands were really bad, not to mention spilled beer and a VERY crowded place. Felt like I was going to suffocate.
