    Hard to pick JUST one! Sometimes I go to 10 a year. My faves have been Fleetwood Mac, Metallica, Roger Waters, Korn, and The Doors of the 21st century! Oh and can't forget Heart- LOVE them!!

    Also Rockfest in Cadott, WI- every year is great- been going for 6 yrs straight - 6th row VIP! Yeah!

    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.
