    Summer - 1994. Marilyn Manson, NIN and Soundgarden.

    F.Yeah!!!!!!!

    Mine would have to be Queens of the Stone Age on Songs for the deaf tour, 2002- Leeds Uni. It was the sex!

    but Deftones last year was also pretty amazing, and NIN in Manchester 2009 supported by Janes Addiction.

    Oingo Boingo - 1994 at the Warfield. 3.5 hours - no breaks - no opening band - pure Danny Elfman genius.

    A close second was Enit Festival at Bill Graham Auditorium - 1998 - with Janes Addiction's first reuinion show. But I don't remember large chunks of it. I knew there were lots of "things" and I came home with henna'd all over :bigsmile:

    Oh my! Not one that I could particularly pinpoint as "the best" because they were all so different but...

    Bon Jovi - RDS Dublin 2002 I think...
    Snow Patrol - Ward Park, Bangor NI, 2010
    Journey and Foreigner - Odyssey Arena, Belfast 2011

    I have to cheat and say the Mile High Music Fest in 2008. I saw Flogging Molly, State Radio, Flobots, Michael Franti, Tom Petty, Citizen Cope, Josh Ritter, Rodrigo e Gabriella, DMB, John Mayer (he sucks but put on an amazing show), Steve Winwood, OAR, and I can't even remember who else. It was a great 2 days.

    Best stadium show was Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour.

    Best Red Rocks show was Dispatch this year. Frigging fantastic.

    Staind and Korn

    or

    Poison, Ratt, Great White, and LA Guns hosted by Dee Snyder

    both very different from each other but both were awesome in their own right :)

    Sting circa 1988 -- I saw him twice that year, once in Canada and once in Spain. Both concerts were outstanding. Runner up would be Chris De Burg any of the 3 times I've seen him. I'm no longer a fan but man that guy put on a show!

    STING is amazing to see live also the police reunion best shows ever !!!! but i may be biased cause i LOVE sting and the police music since i was little...

    I've been a constant concert goer for the past 20 plus years. It is really hard to pick my favorite.

    It would definitley be one of the Dave Matthews concerts, either the Gorge or Golden Gate Park. both were amazing.
