These aren't necessarily my FAVORITE bands, but some of the best concert performances
Elton John in Atlanta at Lakewood.
3 Doors Down, small invitation only performance.
Train, another invitation only performance, only about 100 people.
Pink Floyd, it was the Division Bell (yuck) tour, but they played all the good stuff, and I was front and center.
Kid Rock
Worst, Cheryl Crow.
Most fun concert evert: George Clinton0 -
This is a weird range of music, but The Ramones, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings (unbelievable live), Neko Case, Daniel Lanois, The Beatfarmers, Paul Kelly.
All created a live experience that can't be replicated in their recorded music.
The Beatfarmers!!!
lucky
Ha! Seriously. I saw them many times, every time they played in Vancouver. A highlight was the time Country **** Montana danced on my table at a small club, but Country **** and The Petting Zoo with Mojo Nixon was also memorable.0 -

I need to add a few - though they pale in comparison to others' experiences I see posted..
Simply Red at the Orpheum in Boston, sometime in the 1980's. 1986, 1987? :ohwell:
Josh Groban at the (TD) Garden in 2011.
I have unusual taste in music. I know. :blushing:0 -
I was a child of the sixties and saw so many concerts:
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
The Dave Clark Five
Herman's Hermits
The Animals
Bob Dylan
Ian Whitcomb
The Beach Boys (several times)
Sonny & Cher
Chad & Jeremy
The Byrds
Peter, Paul & Mary
Cream
and many more...
I would say The Beatles and PP&M were the most memorable.
I am SERIOUSLY jealous!!! (in a good way, of course!)0 -
WLIR Party in the Park, included so many great bands from 1979.
Or
Possibly King Crimson introduced by Mayor Ed Koch in Central Park.
Or
The Grateful Dead at Nassau Colliseum0 -
Don't shoot me down, but the best one I've ever been to has got to be the Lady Gaga: Born This Way Ball.0

Nirvana - Big Day Out January 1992...

2011-Prince. The man can STILL rock. Great, great time!0

Any of the late 90s punk rock shows I went to in high school - Strung Out, Lagwagon, Face to Face, Good Riddance, 88 Fingers Louie, The Misfits, Murder City Devils, Suicide Machines, Bouncing Souls, AFI, Guttermouth, Link 80, MXPX, Less Than Jake, and a handful of Warped Tours... just to name a few. I still have every concert ticket from every show I went to.
But the best was probably the Warped Tour 2004 in Vancouver BC where I got to watch Bad Religion's set on stage and meet the band, thanks to a friend who knew them.0 -
I saw the Smashing Pumpkins on the 'mellon Collie' tour - that was pretty awesome.
Pearl Jam were very good, as were the Foo Fighters.
I saw Bush too - they sucked.0 -
Rush, Steely Dan, U2, Roger Waters' The Wall!0
