    Old guy alert!

    I've been to hundreds of concerts but this gets the nod...

    Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto August 1978.

    Pearl Jam was the last show I saw in Toronto before moving to the UK and they were excellent. They're headlining the Isle of Wight Festival (Saturday night) and I'm hoping I can find the cash for a ticket.

    Not old at all, I love Bob Seger, I've just have never seen him live, although I've always wanted to. My parents went and seen him in Tulsa during his last tour. I'm still jealous.

    I can't decide!

    Aaron Lewis- very small venue, up close and personal :)

    Shinedown, Chevelle, Halestorm and Staind - got trashed and it was over 6 hours of madness!

    Lady Antebellum - right against the stage and they set up for every song right in front of me!

    This summer I'm going to see Miranda Lambert in July and Blake Shelton in August so we'll see if they can top the others! :happy:

    I bet Chevelle was amazing! I've seen Staind before, and they were really great!

    Pearl Jam in Boston

    So much jealousy.
    And here.

    I've been to a lot of good shows! I'm too indecisive! Standouts: Rainer Maria (freaking fantastic every time), Coldplay opened for by Rilo Kiley, and Ben Kweller.. who I wasn't even that into but he was so good.

    But the one I think of often and wish I could go back to was the first annual Hangout Fest in Gulf Shores, AL. Alison Krauss + Union Station, Ray Lamontagne, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Ben Harper and Relentless7, John Legend... geez, I can't even remember everyone. And all on a gorgeous beach. /sigh

    Can't decide......Train was awesome in concert.....BNL was as well. I have seen O.A.R many times and they are always amazing.

    I just went to my first O.A.R. concert last June for my b-day and it ws amazing! We were at an intimate outdoor venue pool party and I was so happy to be there :)

    I agree. Puddle of Mudd was very entertaining, and Brett can really sing. Wasn't impressed with 10 Years though--definitely a band that needs to stick to the studio.

    I saw the most boobies at a Poison concert a few summers ago. That alone was probably worth the price of admission. ha
