    Avenged Sevenfold - I can agree - they put on an awesome show! I had to admit though, I was there strictly for Shinedown but they 100% earned my respect and now they are on constant iTunes rotation.

    I'm not sure if I'm embarrssed by this or not, but by far the most fun I've ever had at a gig was Insane Clown Posse in Manchester 2007!

    BEST was ... obviously. :smile:

    When I saw RunDMC and the Beastie Boys together back in late 80's.

    seeing U2 at Croke Park in Dublin for 2 shows in 2009.

    U2 in Lansing, MI 2011 is in my Top 5 shows of all time! Some friends and I were planning to see them in Dublin, but one of our friends passed away to cancer and it seemed to be too much to go without her.

    My husbands band has opened for them. They never disappoint! Great bunch of guys too!
    By far the best concert I have been to is Five Finger Death Punch! I have seen them 12 times in the last three years, traveled as far as Kansas City, MI for Rockfest (I am in Buffalo, NY), and have always been so wowed every show. I took my 11 year old son, whom is obsessed with FFDP to his first concert this past November, he got to go up on stage and they gave him some swag. Best entertainers I have seen in years! Rob Zombie is a close second, seen him in Pittsburgh two summers ago with Korn and he blew Korn out of the water! Amazing pyrotechnics and awesome giant robots!

    YES! Another Shindown fan! I am going to see them next week and this will be my 10th in 3 years. Their music pretty much saved my life. So much so my entire chest tattoo is devoted to their music. Great, great bunch of guys.

    Favorite ever was Shinedown's Anything & Everything tour in December 2010 at a small venue in STL called the Pageant...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Brent Smith and the gang!!!

    Another great one was 3 Doors Down in 2008. Jet Black Stare, Hinder and Staind opened for them. It was an awesome show...started at 6pm and at 11pm, 3DD was STILL doing encores. Gotta love it when even the band doesn't want the rock to end...lol.

    I've had the time of my life every time I've seen Foo Fighters, although their performance at ACL Festival in 2008 (I think it was 2008) was probably my favorite. LOVED it! I've honestly seen some of the most amazing performances at ACL Festival from Coldplay, to Kanye, to Bloc Party and MGMT...oh, and Oasis...good times!!

    Either Adam Lambert or My Chemical Romance. They were both pretty amazing and I was up front for both.

    Hmmm..

    Metallica in 2000. It was a make-up show so they didn't have to play new material and just played the favorites and it was James' Birthday.

    Dropkick Murphy's, St. Patrick's Day 2005. They always go all out for St. Patty's.

    Stomp in 2000 in Vienna. Not sure if you would classify it s a show or concert, but it was fantastic.

    Green Day 1997. High energy throughout.

    I've wanted to take a trip to Boston for their St. Patty's day show for years. I caught them once while they were here in Seattle. Great show.

    I regret not seeing them. Hopefully they'll tour again one day.
