    Saw Boston with my dad a couple of years ago and they were amazing! So much fun!
    Jason Aldean puts on a fantastic live show! I've seen him twice and would go to another of his shows in a heartbeat!
    And on the bucket list, Bon Jovi! He's one of my faves!

    Depeche Mode, any of the 8 times I saw them...Minus Dallas last year, not because of the band but of the attendance that was ridiculously quiet

    The very first concert I went to was adjusting Timberlake/Good Charlotte. I won tickets off a radio station! It was a great concert for being a first timer.
    The second best would be Rebulation, and Tech9.


    I'm a big music girl and listen to almost everything BUT Opera! .

    The Grateful Dead. Soldier Field July 8-9, 1995. Yeah, I was there for the end of the long strange trip.

    Also, I've seen "Weird" Al Yankovic more than once. By choice. Yep, I admitted that.

    I've mostly been to classical music concerts, but Das Rheingold section of Der Ring des Nibelungen opera was the best experience so far.

    Jerry Garcia Band, some time in the late 80s or early 90s, in Philly.
    Neil Young, solo/acoustic, at Bally's Grandstand (no longer there) on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, 1988, I think.
    Dire Straits, 1980-something, Portland, Maine.
    Grateful Dead, 1988, Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA.

    I wasn't expecting it to be all that, but believe it or not Yanni performed an outstanding show.

    really tough call as I haven't really been to a bad one yet, but if I had to choose one, it would be King's X when they played at Rosebud here in Pittsburgh during the Mr. Bulbous tour, followed very closely by Dream Theater at Metropol on the Metropolis Part 2 tour.....

    The Cure on their Bloodflowers your was pretty life changing. No opening act, just Robert Smith's current favorite classical music, and three encores. The closing rendition of Killing an Arab (a song based on Camus' novella The Stranger) turned that little post punk song into an epic!

    The best concert I've been to has to be Lady Gaga playing Twickenham for the Born This Way Ball. Queued for 8 hours, standing for probably 15 hours, and it was incredible. Vocals were on point, stage and costumes were amazing, she really knows how to please a crowd.
    Other contenders are Charlotte Church, she played to 100 people in a tiny little venue in Brighton. Her voice is incredible, and her new music is really something different.
    Also saw Perfume Genius play at the same venue - possibly in my top three favourite artists of all time - and it was stunning. His voice is delicate and his lyrics are heartbreaking - I left in tears!
    K-pop band BigBang played Wembley and even though I didn't understand most of the words, it was so much fun - lots of energy and jamming tunes!
    Most recently, it would have to be Betty Who in Hoxton. She's so much fun, plays to the crowd, plus her music is brilliant to run to!
