Artists I've seen live

13/11/2016

My first concert in french.

This is the last show I've attended to, to date.

Show had the worst organization EVER. After waiting on the queue for quite a while, I finally entered the venue during the fourth song, and even then I never managed to find my seat, ended up seeing the whole thing seated on the floor.

David himself played well, but the whole experience was tainted for me, as I had very high expectations for this one and the terrible production of the concert made it a letdown.

Saw him three times, for the tours: You Are the Quarry, Years of Refusal, and World Peace is None of Your Business, which ties him with Oasis as the international artists I've seen the most. All the shows were very good, although descending in quality from the first one (that time he played after Blondie to boot, it was such a great day).

Two times. First one in 2011, second one in 2014, during Lollapalooza. Really liked both of them. Thought the sound was better the second time around, but the first one they played alone and so the show was longer.

It was pretty bad. Horrible sound, seemingly disinterested band, the show's highlight ended up being a cover of The Strokes' Reptilia that they didn't plan on playing beforehand but did so anyway because the public kept asking/singing for it.

Saw them at the Olympia Hall in Paris, France, making it the only concert in this list I've ever attended outside my native country of Argentina. Great setlist (part of Across Six Leap Years, their sort of Anniversary Tour), great place, great experience altogether.

40 tunes and over three hours of The Cure, very nice one.

Two times. First one they opened for the Strokes (pretty cool festival), second one was for the Come Around Sundown tour. The first one was good, but the second one was much better. Unlike the Strokes, who started with a couple of great albums and then fell apart, KoL started small and kept improving, making them the better band of the two nowadays. Only by the Night is my favorite album of theirs.

Two times. One for the Dark Side of the Moon tour (2007) and the other for The Wall tour (2012).

The Dark Side of the Moon one is the best live show I've ever attended to. A magical and moving moment altogether.

He's a Beatle, I HAD to go. Pretty decent show, with several 1(or 2)-hit wonder guests as his band. Certainly could've used more Beatles songs, but overall it was OK.

Two times. First one was The Antidote tour in which Jody Sternberg acted as vocalist. Second one was during their last tour, with Skye reinstated. Liked the setlist of the first one more, but at the same time liked Skye's vocals more on the second one (I still liked Jody's too though, just not as much).

As a Beatles-are-the-best fan, only a suboptimal (to my taste) setlist prevented this one from being my favorite show ever.

Two times. First one during their very first south american tour in 2010, second one at Lollapalooza's first argentinian edition in 2014. First one was much better, not only did they play much longer, but the setlist was great (a notoriously weak point of their second show).

Opened for Radiohead. I wasn't grabbed by their performance, at one point they left dolls "playing" in their place, and there was no difference really.

Dubbed "The Subaquatic Concert" for its DVD release, it couldn't be more aptly named. I've never gotten as rain soaked as I did that day.

Opened for The Police. He seemed to not care at all about playing or being there (sound quality didn't help, either), easily the worst show in this list.

My favorite local band. They were the first band I've ever seen live, with my father (I was around 10 years old). Saw them a few more times as the years went by, including their last comeback/retire concert in 2007.

Saw them three times, which makes them the international band I've seen the most (tied with Morrissey). Saw them in the Be Here Now tour, Standing in the Shoulder of Giants, and Don't Believe the Truth. The first show of those three was the best, last one the weakest. They came one more time to Argentina, but by then I had lost interest in the band's direction and didn't attend. They split up shortly afterwards, which showed there wasn't much of a direction going on I guess.

Up to their last couple of records, they were the band of my generation I liked the most.

Played next to Ariel Rot, one of his partners in Los Rodríguez. Probably the closest thing to the band since they disbanded. Nice one.

Two times. Popmart tour and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb tour. Loved the first one, which was the first live music concert I've ever attended on my own (16 years old). Second one I found to be underwhelming. Didn't go to the third time they came (No Line on the Horizon tour).

Opened for U2's second concert in Argentina. Even though I prefer U2 as a band, that day I liked their show better.

LOVED their first two albums, liked the third one, HATED the ones that came next. Show was for the tour just before releasing the third one, First Impressions of Earth. They returned for their next album tour, but I didn't attend.

Of all their solo works, I liked Nikolai's Time of the Assassins the best.

Debbie was 59 when I saw her perform, and you couldn't tell that at all. Very good one, and part of the best music festival I attended to.

The brains of Soda, he was part of that awesome festival in which I saw Blondie and Morrissey the same day (he played just before Blondie).

Sadly, he slipped into a coma due to a CVA in 2010 and passed away in 2014.

Opened before Cerati, Blondie, and Morrissey.

Saw them in a music festival the same day I saw Morcheeba for the first time. It was OK to pass the time.

Saw them in a music festival the same day I saw Morcheeba for the first time. It was OK to pass the time, though I liked Brazillian girls a bit more.

Played after Oasis's gig for the SotSoG tour.

Opened for Oasis' first show in Argentina.
