    MUSE --- have seen them three times now twice at Wembley and once at the O2 London, the first time i bought tickets for my boyfriend for his birthday id never even heard a track off their album --- he played one for me just before the concert and my first thought was oh god how im i going to stand there and pretend to like it!! BUT they came on stage and i loved it!!!!
    I enjoyed some of the supporting acts too most notably
    The Streets
    and more recently
    Lily Allen (who was fantastic-- would go see her again)

    Im sorry to everyone but Muse is the best live band today. Period. Metallica, Us, Greenday, Radiohead, and some London College, I think Liverpool has studied Muse on how to be great live. They are so ahead of our time. Knight of Cydonia is so amazing live. Brillant band. Most here in the US dont know that because of their poppy singles and Twilight Soundtrack.

    Charlie Daniles voluteer jam 1979??? It was when Lynsard Skynard came out and played Free Bird with just the hat of Ronnie VanZandt on the microphone. This was after the crash that had killed a number of the band LS. Thirteen hours of nothing but first run names and bands, It was great!!!!

    toss up between seeing Petra twice, once at Red Rocks 1985, and again about 3 years later in Colo. Springs or going to the Guess Who sometime in the mid 90's with the original lead singer. They opened for Starship and completely blew them away, and that is saying alot, I am also a big Starship fan!

    I have been to SOOOOO many. Here are a few of my favorites...

    Elton John was my first - 1980 Aladdin Theater of Performing Arts, Las Vegas. I was 10 (thank you mom)
    Queensryche is my favorite - 1991 Thomas and Mack, Las Vegas (I have seen them twenty something times)

    Other great shows that come to mind...
    ACDC Who - Made Who
    Def Lepard - Hysteria
    Exodus - 1987 Fenders Ballroom Long Beach
    Metallica - Summer Sh** Tour
    Blink182/GreenDay - 2002-ish. My daughters first concert... WAY fun
    Rob Zombie - 2002-ish, HOB Las Vegas
    Bon Jovi - 2011, St. Louis
    Motley Crüe - 1985 Las Vegas
    Nightwish - 2004 HOB Anaheim
    Dream Theater - 2003 San Diego
    Fates Warning - 2003 Denver (LOVE Ray Alder's voice)
    The Offspring - 2010 Verizon Ampitheater
    Saliva - 2010 The Pageant St. Louis

    There are soooo many other great shows and I keep thinking of more... I have to stop.

    I would LOVE to see the Eagles and Billy Joel. Unfotunately, every time they would come to Vegas, even the cheap seats were too pricey. During one of the Queensryche tours I paid $60 a seat in Vegas compared to $25 and $30 in other cities.

    Oh goodness... I've been to almost 500 concerts..Many of them were the same bands.

    1)Family Force 5 --> They are so wacky and don't really have a genre.. They are different.
    2)Skillet --> Seen them about 11 times. Even though it's the same thing, they have a great show
    3)tobyMac --> For being about 47, he has moves! Back flips and what not.
