    My new favourite concert will be Kenny Chesney, who I'm seeing on Thursday. ;)

    Favourite concert thus far has to be U2.

    Just saw Kenny Chesney / Eric Church on Saturday. Having never been a huge country fan, it was an amazing concert.

    I am going to Coheed and Cambria this weekend, so that may top it lol

    jason mraz, before he got super famous. that man is a born entertainer. :)

    i've been to so many shows, big and small, but mr. mraz is by far my favorite.

    next best act i've seen/heard live: hoots and hellmouth, a philly-based indie band. TRULY AMAZING.

    Hard to pick just one... I like many types of music so my top concerts I have seen have to be

    1. Rush
    2. Toby Keith
    3. JoDee Messina
    4. Drifters/Platters
    5. Collin Raye
    6. Journey

    I have enjoyed most concerts that I have been to, but these stood out for me for different reasons.

    Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood - was my first and therefore remains my favorite
    Metallica/Godsmack
    Eagles - seats were terrible, but it was a "bucket list" concert (a concert I wanted to see before I died) and it was great!
    Kiss
    Poison - with Warrant opening for them before Warrant was a headlining act.

    Aerosmith, every time I saw them.

    Brad Paisley, both times I saw him.

    The others in between were great, but the above 2 stick in my head like yesterday.

    Bobby McFerrin. He was onstage, barefoot, all alone with a hand microphone and kept everyone enthralled for over an hour. At one point he invited singers up onstage to help him do a improvisation piece....if I hadn't been up in the back of the balcony I would have RUN to get there to him. Amazing.
    Last summer at GALA Denver...the AnnaCrusis chorus did the most amazing wonderful inspirational set. I want to sing like that when I grow up. (all right...IF I ever consent to grow up.....)

    I've seen a lot of concerts, not as many as I'd like though. A lot of indie, less known bands. Some of the bigger most memorable were:

    Pearl Jam
    Queens of the Stone Age
    The Strokes
    Neil Young
    Wilco
    Arcade Fire

    Hard call. Rammstein when they toured the US last year. Red Hot Chili Peppers (who played the Joe in Detroit the season Draper retired... only to have him come out on stage at the end. I thought the stadium was going to explode).

    ON THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE: Coldplay during the second leg of the Viva la Vida tour and Lady Gaga during the first leg of the Monster Ball tour. NO SHAME.
