Playlist Thursday: I Was There!

This was a great suggestion from Kelly over at cupcakekellys.com: Songs on your playlists by Artists you’ve seen live in concert. Extra points if you include a photo with the band – okay, this last part I added because I knew I had one.

Same format:

Something Old: Songs that are at least 5 years old. (I know that isn’t too long to be considered old, but music turnover happens quickly.)
Something Current: Songs that have been released within the past year.
Something to Consider: This is the wild card category. Feel free to list any song: old, current, guilty pleasure, underground, whatever.

Something Old:

Artist: Limp Bizkit
Title: My Generation
Side Note: The runner in me wants to put Rollin’ here and make some joke about foam rolling. But I’m giving a shout out to one of my favorite album titles: “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Water” — LOL. I saw Limp Bizkit twice on the Anger Management Tour with Eminem and Papa Roach. THAT was a concert and LB was awesome on stage.
Quotable: “If only we could fly.”

Something Current:

Artist: Far East Movement feat. Pitbull
Title: Candy
Side Note: Turn up the Love (watch video) is the hot song right now being played on the radio and they killed it (in a good way) live at the 2013 Rock ‘n’ Roll Half in Pasadena and the crowd loved it. That may be more current, but I’m going with Candy and Mr. 305 off there 2012 album “Dirty Bass”
Quotable: “The way that you been running through my mind, mess around and pull a hammy girl”

Something to Consider:

Artist: N.E.R.D.
Title: Rock Star
Side Note: Stranger: You know running is bad for you. Me: Huh? Stranger: Running is bad for your knees. Me: “YOU CAN’T BE ME I’M A ROCK STAR!” Hahaha… say that the next time you have this conversation. I saw N.E.R.D. at the “In The Mix Tour” with Hoobastank, 311 and Jay-Z… ya, I used to go to some cool concerts in college.
Quotable: “Somethin’ on your chest better get it off. There’ll be no one left when we set it off”

That’s the line-up this week and some great artists that I’ve seen live. Pretty good mix of genres. If you have a music playlist post, add it below. Even if it’s not a Playlist Thursday type post, it’s great to share.

Did you check out the Run This Year Monthly Challenge? Shhh. It’s a giveaway

Now it’s your turn. Best concert you’ve been to? GO!

I have no idea who NERD is but I will be checking them out! Love the lyrics.

Best concert… that’s so hard! Probably Sugarland, before they got big.

Gotta admit I haven’t been to that many concerts but my absolute fave was Billy Joel and Elton John. Going to be real hard to beat that one.

Holy jealous of your concert goings! I love LB and N.E.R.D. I just listened to a few Far East Movement songs, need to get their albums ASAP.

Word up!i love your concert choices! I’d totally throw in some gaga .,,,old gaga though!

Carrie @ FamilyFitnessFood.com on March 7, 2013 at 5:43 am

I love your concert choices. I love Billy Joel and have seen him numerous times – although it’s been a while since I went to a live show. It’s possible that the last one I went to was when I took my daughter to her first show – an American Idol tour. *cringe*

I don’t think the concerts I’ve been to would do well for me in races!! My first concert was Milli Vanilli…yeah I now realize that I paid to watch them lip synch! I’ve also been to many Folk and Jazz Festivals…lots of sun, ocean, and chill music (yes please!) However these songsget me relaxed and chill not so much pushing over that last nihill…I think I’ll just borrow yours!

So many good concerts over the years! I love seeing bands live!

LOVE THE PIC OF YOU AND FAR EAST MOVEMENT!! SO FUN!!

Christine @ Love, Life, Surf on March 7, 2013 at 5:57 pm

Such a good theme for this week! Love N.E.R.D. Haven’t heard that song in forever but I have to say that I associate it with Jason Giambi because that was his at-bat song for a while. And awesome picture of you and Far East Movement!
