Dashboard Confessional
Incubus
Muse 
Some local San Diego radio show concerts at Coors Ampitheatre. 
 
Those three bands mentioned were terrific live, especially Muse back in 2007 before they got real popular. I never knew how much noise can come from just three people. By far the best out of the limited concerts I've been too.

^^ I'm really impressed I missed The Cars, dammit multiple times I could have seen them.
 
The word at the time was too technical and boring and not enough emotion.
 
So I saw Springsteen 3X's,  I would trade two of those for The Cars once, The Springsteen "The River" tour show in Carbondale, Ill I'll keep.
 
So I've spent the rest of my life buying all The Cars live albums and videos and multiple bootlegs, the ''84-85 Houston show is amazing.

 Very nice list of shows, I'm so jealous if I could have only seen The Cars with Ben Orr once.

Sorry Rumay, I managed to see the Cars in their heyday (Thanksgiving weekend 1980) 2 days after seeing Springsteen at the same arena. So, didn't have to sacrifice 1 for the other :wink:

Out of curiosity.....Has anyone else been to a concert by themselves? The Zappa show was the only show I had gone to alone!! My friends weren't interested but I had to see what this guy was all about. I am so glad I went!! He put on an awesome show!!!

Springsteen was playing here in the Washington DC, Capital Center if I recall, the same night Kraftwerk was playing at the Warner Theater. My neighborhood friends, the same ones that wouldn't  go to Zappa, went to Springsteen and I went to Kraftwerk with a school friend. I'm glad I did. The crowd alone was a show!! It was the most eclectic group of people I had ever seen assembled together in one place! The show was very cool! Kraftwerk had a wall of neon lights as there backdrop producing intense colors. They opened with a chest pounding version of Numbers! The sound was incredible, the sights wild!! It was a good time!!! I always leaned a little to the left anyway! I still would like to have seen Springsteen.....I still have time!

All "the boss's" shows that I've seen have been great. That's cool that you saw Kraftwerk...a group I wish I'd seen.

Hendrix
Doors
Stones

  Out of curiosity.....Has anyone else been to a concert by themselves?

 
Probably a couple hundred times. In fact, twice in the last two months I was not only there without friends, but I was the only audience member who showed up at the concert. Now THAT is awkward! (I write concert reviews for two different websites - my blog and a punk/DIY sort of online 'zine - and I ended up writing a review of that show for both of them, making it possibly the only concert in history to have more reviews written about it than there were people in attendance.)
 
I go to a lot of concerts and I like a lot of different genres of music, so it is hard to find friends who are interested in everything I go to. E.g. I only have one friend in the area who likes contemporary classical music, so if he can't or doesn't want to go, I'm on my own for those shows. And frankly most of my friends are sick of me inviting them to concerts, so I kinda gave up trying, unless it is something I really specifically think one of them would especially like.
 
I think at this point the majority of my friends are people I met at concerts, actually... since I go alone so often I tend to chat with people sitting near me or if another person is there alone we might end up hanging out, etc. Facebook makes it easy to keep up with people that you meet like that, and then the next time a band you both like is playing you can go together instead of alone. I made a really last-minute decision (less than 24 hour advance notice) to travel alone to see a band for a couple of east coast dates in NYC and Philadelphia - and it turned out someone I'd met once at a show in Greenwich Village was going to the Philly show and had an extra ticket for me. And I ran into no less than seven people I knew from other concerts at the NYC show (which was especially ridiculous because I think that room only holds about 80 people).
