    Beach Boys because it was my first concert. It must have been early 80's.
    Joan Jett the 2nd time because it was the first concert I took my youngest daughter to. That was about 5 years ago.
    Rick Springfield this year because it took me 30 damn years to see that man in concert and he lived up to all my expectations!

    A whole bunch of others along the years but those stand out the most.

    Queen+Paul Rogers, Budapest (yeah, that was the best.)
    Roger Daltrey, Glasgow
    Roger Daltrey, Broomfield, Colorado (I was lucky enough to be moving home between the two so I actually got to see him both times!).

    And on a non classic rock note, I saw Gogol Bordello and Primus at Red Rocks at the height of the Perseid Meteor Showers one year and that was *cool.* A rock show in multiple senses of the term. :bigsmile:

    The Fixmer McCarthy (of Nitzer Ebb) show in Austin. Best performance I've seen for being just 2 guys, a mic and a laptop! LOL. The energy that McCarthy radiated on that show was great! One of my favorites by far.
    That's me with him, I was 4 months pregnant.:smile:

    1. Motorhead - Auckland Town Hall 1991 or there abouts - it was THE LOUDEST concert I've ever been to. Think myself and my friend were the only girls there too :P
    2. Lady Gaga - Vector Arena, Auckland Monster Ball Tour - blew me away!
    3. The White Stripes - St James Theatre - Auckland - awesome - got right to the front and fell in love (all over again) with Jack White *drool*
    4. Metallica - seen them a few times - named my son after the singer - awesome live band!

    ETA: Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time Tour Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland.

    FLOGGING MOLLY! All 5 times :bigsmile: in AC - house of blues
    The Walkmen - in Boston - back in 2002


    I've seen flogging molly a zillion times myself (okay, maybe ~10 times). We often will fly to mesa (phoenix) to see them play their st patty's day show, but a few years ago, they stopped playing one of my favorite venues, so I only catch them locally. They are definitely on my top-concerts list.

    Hmmm tough one, for so very long it was Man Man @ ATP 2008 because it was so much fun! They're truly a great live band, then I got caught up at Janelle Monae at Glastonbury and that was amazing!

    For those of you who haven't seen said performance I recommend it greatly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRnQ2nj2gk
