I love seeing Metallica in concert. One of my favorite bands of all time
m/ SLAYER!!! m/
Radiohead!
La Dispute - if anyone has never heard of these guys, read their lyrics first. the listen. unreal band.
Pearl Jam--definitely best band ever :)
Elvis Costello- always something a little different and always taking a risk!
LOL! If it was just one I needed to follow I can just stalk them! Show would be great for following multiple bands - though I wonder how it'll do for Indie bands who play small venues.
Storm Large I'd see anywhere!
Would die if I missed a Jamiroquai concert.
Hayes Carll!
Daft Punk!
Love to u have one!!!
NIN
Crystal Fighters ! i've missed every gig this year so now i can finally keep track and react in time :-)
Brad Paisley

Beastie Boys. I've seen them about a dozen times over the years and they keep getting better and more fun on stage! #nosleeptilbrooklyn
Too many! Keith urban, brad paisley, Tim McGraw just to name a few.
The Avett Brothers has consistently put on some of the best live shows in the past few years. Wilco and The Hold Steady are up there as well.
random movement
Looks like a must have app for club and concert goers. I'm going to Boston house of blues tonite to see Soulive andLettuce. I'd like a easy way to track artists and get alerts when they come to town.
LOVE Pitbull, LMFAO, Coldplay and alicia keys!
Nice would love to see ELBOW, The Pixies, The Mars Volta.
Go TiPb
Incubus (wish I could go see them at Red Rocks) but anywhere for them works
Wilco
Wilco
Tenth avenue north !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kings of Leon!!!!!
Blind Guardian, no question. Unfortunately they only tour in North America about every four years, but it is like seeing no other band- the entire audience is singing along the whole time, almost like some kids' singalong thing, except it's heavy metal. It's because of the passion the band puts into their music- that passion translates to the fans.
30 Seconds to Mars, man they're just fun! Major opposite of them, but still amazing live is Maroon 5.
i cant miss another blink-182 concert.
Can't miss a Maroon 5 concert
Tom Waits!
Linkin Park
Five Finger Death Punch
Weezer, Foo Fighters, Jay-Z
Would love to see what pops up in Miami!
Leonard Cohen any and everytime
The Young Fresh Fellows, but if the replacements were still around, that would be it.
Journey!
Dave Matthews Band!
