    Depeche Mode - Exciter
    Depeche Mode - Touring the Angel

    Love the band, so a bit biased...but they really get the crowd going. Even my kids loved them.

    As far as the "best" ones, Id say Robert Plant, Cheap Trick, and Toby Keith. Most whacked....B-52"s (won tix) and worst, believe it or not, ZZ Top.

    I am biased. When I go to see my favorite band I'm never disappointed. But the most recent concert that blew me away was the

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

    Awesome show!

    Depeche Mode at the O2 in Feb 2010. My eldest daughter's first gig with Nitzer Ebb supporting. Absolutely amazing show made unforgettable by having her there.

    U2 - 1984 Honolulu
    Police - 1983 LA
    Bon Jovi - 1983Honolulu

    ive been to others in the last 10 years, but they didnt have the stage performance as the above

    I saw Police concert in Lexington, KY around then. Was probably the best I've seen.

    First stadium concert I went to was my favourite. Red Hot Chili Peppers in Glasgow, 2008.

    Longest train journey ever but so totally worth it. :D:D

    I have seen some good ones: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Police (and also Sting solo a few years later), David Bowie, Van Halen (original group with David Lee Roth!!), some good country acts - Wynonna, and Clint Black were excellent. Neil Diamond twice. But by far the best ever was Tony Bennett - his voice is truly amazing, such perfect control and purity of tone. At one point all the mics, etc, were turned off and he sang acapella - I was in the balcony and every note reached us clear as a bell. I am still amazed.

    Definitely Prince on 7-7-07 in his hometown of Minneapolis, MN. He played an amazing concert and then played at First Ave club (from Purple Rain movie) across the street till the cops shut him down at 3 am. Just amazing ! (I am a huge Prince fan, can you tell? lol)

    1. Bullet For My Valentine #1 concert, that's what inspired me to loose weight in the first place.
    2. Bullet For My Valentine #2 concert when I met Matt Tuck for the FIRST time outside his tour bus.
    3. Bullet For My Valentine #5? concert when I got to stand on side stage while they did their show, amazing! <3.

    And if we're talking about non BFMV concerts lol, my favorites were.

    1. Atreyu, the crowd was SO pumped.
    2. Motley Crue, Vince's voice isn't the same over the years, but they put on an amazing show with lights and a cool drumset.
    3. Linkin Park, they sung like ever song and I found I knew all the lyrics, but that was before their new CD.

    I have seen over 400 concerts in my concert going days. Tops has to be a tie between the first---ACDC and Fastway on the Flick of the Switch Tour in Lakeland Florida or the Clash of the Titans Tour in 1990 w Anthrax/Slayer/Megadeth/Alice In Chains--Slayer made their Decade of Aggression Album from this and I am on the inside cover, plus saw AIC live.

    Runners up include:

    The Ramones
    Metallica w Guns and Roses and Faith no More in Orlando w 40000+ people
    Iron Maiden on the Powerslave tour
    Rob Zombie and Pantera
    Deep Purple on the Strangers tour....

    Elton John & Billy Joel. Quest Center, Omaha Nebraska, 2008. Two world class pianists on one stage was nothing short of magical.
