What stadium or arena band rocks you?
I went to see A Perfect Circle last night. Usually, when people invite me to go to shows in big venues, I pass. But I'd seen Smashing Pumpkins at the same venue and the show was good, so I figured it would not hurt to venture away from the computer and I had a really good time once again. Partly, I think this particular venue has a good sound system, but there are very few people who can really rock a big hall. So usually I only go to club shows. What bands are really worth seeing in a large venue? What large venues do you like best?

TOOL!!!! Went to my first Tool concert last year and all I can say is OH MY FUCKING GODS!!! Type O and Lords of Acid put on the best small venue shows I have ever had the good fortune to see.

The Who.
Always have, always will.
The Beatles were such nice young lads. The Rolling Stones were the ultimate bad-boys. The Who were nerds in hipster clothing.
Long live Nerd Rock.

Pix! Pix! Pix!
My one friend got in trouble twice for taking pix at the Perfect Circle show and then a third time for text messaging on her phone which made security think she was still taking more pix, even though they confiscated her camera.
PS Dio holiday party ;)

One of my favorite bands of all time. I didn't know I knew anyone else these days who liked them too. I saw them on the Windows tour, which was maybe not their finest hour, but they are still one of my favorite bands.
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
I haven't seen many big shows, cause they don't happen where I live. I did see this thing called the Summersault Tour a couple years ago - Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Deftones, Treble Charger and a few others on the main stage. I love all those bands, esp. Foos and Pumpkins, but Deftones came across the best in that setting. Thing is, one of the best sets was on the small stage - Finger Eleven pretty much kicked ass on that show. And I've never seen it happen live, but since I'm listening to them right now, I know that's probably the best way to see Motley Crue.

Dave has been into them since he was a teen.
Since Dave & I have been together, Ive developed so much respect for them & really dig their music as well as personalities.
ROCK ON SISTA!
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
Pink Floyd...It has to be a large Venue for them to truly come set up and play...For each show they have 14 semis full of stage equipment and lighting...I saw them a few years ago and it RoCkEd....Hell even if you hated their music the light show was worth going for.....
I believe it was their Pulse tour that I saw...
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
Aerosmith and Metalica -- each time I have seen them it has been in a large arena and it just rocked! Rush also puts on a damn good show live.
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
I guess the bigest show i've been to was the skinny puppy show i went to over the weekend... that was at the music box, the acoustics were horrible but the show rocked!
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
metallica and red hot chilli concerts... really awesome....
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
The Monkees, KISS, Disturbed, Powerman 5000, Twisted Sister, and some others are really good, but I dont know what they are like lately.
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
Big Arena bands who rock harder than ROCK...
IRON MAIDEN...*chants* Eddie Eddie Eddie

Judas Priest
Van Halen (Roth years)
Marilyn Manson
Rammstein
Re: What stadium or arena band rocks you?
