    DEVO on "The Pier" in Manhattan in the late '70s.
    I was very suprised. They totally rocked the place.
    It was a small open air venue and everything was great.

    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.

    saw Flogging Molly at the Black Sheep in Colorado Springs and the next night at Fillmore Auditorium in Denver...LOVED them!!! (and The Riverboat Gamblers who opened the show)

    Since 1984 I've been to probably 100's of concerts and many stand out...but one of the ones that was the most memorable:

    Monsters of Rock July 30 1988, 21st row at Mile High Stadium in Denver, CO:

    Kingdom Come
    Dokken
    Van Halen
    Scorpions
    Metallica


    and whichever year it was that Def Leppard performed at McNichols Arena in Denver (1987?) and recorded the video for "Pour Some Sugar On Me"--my friend still swears she can see us in the video, but I think we were too far away lol

    wow, tough one.

    erm, Radiohead in Paris in 1997 was something i'll never forget. outstanding, i think i saw them at exactly the right time, so often with bands you dont get that. for example i saw the Black Crowes last month, and whilst they were still amazing, i knew i was late to the party (not my fault!)

    i think my absolute favourite gig though would be Metallica in 1996. they were still great in 2009 but i was pregnant and sat down rather than 16 and at the front. LOL

    biggest :( about a band i'll never get to see is Little Feat. i mean i will go see them next time hopefully, but Lowell George died before i was born, i didnt stand a chance!

    I saw them at the Fillmore too, in 2010 I think. Rev Peyton and His Big Damn Band opened.

    I have waaay too many to list. Rod Stewart is always great and so is Hanson. As for local bands, look up Hot Bodies In Motion and Handful of Lovin' (both from Seattle) - awesome performers!

    Great Big Sea - Seattle 2004

    They are a blast!

    Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band at CNE Stadium in 1978. Very hot August night, 6th row with about 25 friends in 3 rows. We moved the chairs out of the way and made a dance floor. I've been to hundreds of shows and that was easily the most high energy performance I've seen.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Mars Volta, Halloween 2006. The concert was amazing to begin with, and I went with my parents and my younger brothers. One of the most memorable times of my life!
