    Either 1998 or 1999 don't remember exactly, Puddle of Mudd, System of a Down, KoRn, Kid Rock and Metallica. Metallica played for a solid 4 hours, and I didn't like Kid Rock before the show, but I did afterwards because he impressed the heck out of me when he went around the stage and played every instrument up there. He's not a "redneck rapper" like I thought, he's a talented musician.

    Also very high on the list is Alter Bridge, Shinedown, 3 Doors Down from 2005. Saw them twice two days apart in Raleigh and then Charlotte, was the 10th Anniversary (and last, until they brought it back this year) of the Weenie Roast in Charlotte. The Charlotte show was also on Sept 11, and while 3 Doors Down always honors the military, that show was even more special. If the videos of servicemen and women reuniting with their families didn't make you cry your heartless.

    I used to work at a venue that handled lots of concerts. I can't even remember all of them now. I really liked Sarah Slean though. Emerson Drive was really good too, and I've seen a few other big ones there, but the concerts with the more famous people are very stressful for the workers, so we can't enjoy them as much as the smaller concerts.

    Pink Floyd at Three rivers stadium in Pittsburgh. 1989 I think, it was the momentary lapse of reason tour. Fantastic and I was totally sober lol.

    Went to my first Springsteen concert in Slane Ireland in 1985 but was topped by seeing him at Giants Stadium at the wrecking ball tour in 2009. Mind you Rolling Stones at Slane was a cracker as well.

    Ditto. I didn't care for him until I saw him live, but he rocks.

    Love Flogging Molly and PJ Harvey! I'm so jealous!

    I've see Tori Amos 7 times, she's always great.
    KMFDM always puts on a kick *kitten* show
    We just saw the Nekromantix about a month ago and that show KICKED *kitten*!!!!
    The Horrorpops were amazing (I totally have a girl crush on Patricia)

    Great to see such a diverse range of music tastes on here

    I get to see Nekromantix in November for the first time so good to know it will be well worth it! Love psychobilly bands.

    Best concert would have to be the Australian festival Soundwave in 2011. Pennywise, Millencolin, Mad Caddies, H2O and Social Distortion all in the same day!

    I went to a radio station promo concert back in Michigan in 1993 that had Green Day, Bush, PJ Harvey, Nirvana and Offspring. That cannot be beat.

    Totally sounds awesome!

    ONe of my favorite concerts was when I saw Ani Di Franco perform at Stubs BBQ while she was pregnant, and I was dancing in the rain...it was super sexy and liberating...I went and got a tattoo after (not because of her but because I was child free that weekend)!
