So 10/21/06 was my first main stream concert that i have ever attended. Marissa bought my ticket for $45, and it was well worth it. We showed up at Shoreline at 2pm, but the show didn't start until 4pm. So we tailgated for 2 hours, we had peanuts, sandwiches and beer. So right at 4pm we walk in, and the place is packed!!! It was sold out. The First 2 bands were no names, literally, the first band didn't have a name when the show started. Then the band that i have been waiting to see for such a long time came on...
Death Cab followed by,
Foo Fighters,
Trent Reznor(lead singer of NIN),
Brian Wilson,
Pearl Jam,
Dave Matthews,
and of course the host Neil Young.
Some of the best parts of the concert for me were the intermissions... people were throwing torillas everytime a band was done. So we would catch them and try to hit a certain someone we were currently annoyed with. Phil and I spotted 2 different people that we were aiming for; one lady that was standing up the whole time wearing a vest with 2 beers in her hands. At one point while we were aiming at her and coming close with torillas, Phil actually hit her and we heard her say,"Are people aiming at me?" The other person that we singled out was a big heavy set bald guy, who was doing an annoying dance. I threw a corn torilla that flew that grazed his "teet," it was hilarious...
We didn't get up to leave Shoreline until 1am... 9hr concert. Brian Wilson's set was so good! He played so many oldies and great songs that it became a nostalgic event for myself. Foo Fighters were spectacular, they played all there great hits, starting off with "Everlong". Trent R. is amazing by the way, he played "Hurt," which is amazing. Great Concert all in all. I don't think i could have a better first time concert than this... Thanks M.

So in other words if you never see another concert again you can die incredibly happy?
I will die very happy, i want to go next year.
i might say that one of the first bands was not a no name. Devendra Banhardt (the long haired hippie guy who probabbly had his shirt off) is one of my favorite musicians. but its ok if you didnt like him.
Small world...I have good friend who was at that same concert. I was highly amused by your tortilla wasting story. The funniest part was that I could picture you being annoyed and laughing about it too.=)
