    I love talking about concerts! I've been to several, but the ones that come to my mind straight away:

    Bon Jovi (without a doubt, one of the BEST I've ever seen!)
    NKOTBSB (New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys)
    Human Nature
    Duran Duran
    Michae Buble (love his voice)

    I'm seeing Keith Urban in concert in one week. I'm super super excited!

    Pantera (Day before Cowboys From Hell came out)
    Ministry/Sepultura
    KMFDM
    NIN
    Slipknot
    Dropkick Murphys

    And, strangely enough, Madonna. I got the tickets as an anniversary present for my now ex-wife, but she put on a decent show.

    Ratt / BonJovi, because it was my first. Loved being an 80's girl! Seemed like there was a concert every few months!

    Mat Kearney at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland OR. There was something amazing about that show. It was a really intimate venue and I felt like he was singing out of his heart. It was was amazing. I am going to MUSE on the 31st....may be the next favorite. :)

    i really enjoyed audioslave in about 2003. mainly because chris cornell looks like a sexy gelfling, and i was about 3 metres away from the stage.
    the big day out in ?2003 was great, too. early foo's, qotsa, deftones (when a man with blue hair and a blue goatee puked on my shoes). but the gigs were great.
    more recently i thought NIN rocked- they were so good. i danced like a loon all night!

    OMG Chris Cornell is hot on stage. I saw him in '09. yum

    My favorite concert was my first one: Tool in 2006 after their last album came out. Now the front man is busy making wine in Arizona, lazy *kitten*. :P

    I also enjoyed a Peppers concert right before Frusciante left. Him and Flea were amazing.

    Gene Loves Jezebel/New Order/Echo & the Bunnymen in 1987 Saw it in Berkeley - that WAS a good show.

    LOVE seeing FISHBONE live too! so fun!

    The Wolfgang Press - 1991? 1992? for their Queer album tour <--- awesome

    Paul Weller - First time I saw him 1992? 1993? for his first solo tour. swoon!

    i might be the only other person reading this thread who remembers the Wolfgang Press. i have one of their albums, on vinyl. i'm old. :laugh:

    I can remember wanting to go that GLJ/New Order/Bunnymen show soooo bad when I was 14. Never did see the first two bands, but saw the Bunnymen in '88.

    And I have the Wolfgang Press cover of Mama Told Me Not To Come on one of my workout playlists on my IPOD.

    Best one for me = My Bloody Valentine Detroit 1992.

    I'm jealous of everyone who has seen The Cure live.

    Just realized I left a wicked concert off my list - Mumford and Sons in a small venue, very early on. Such a great night!

    I have been to several warped tours with some good shows, but the most special for me was seeing Funeral for a Friend/Story of the Year back in 2005. Funeral for a Friend played an acoustic set that night because their drummer was sick. It was awesome. I've been to some Taking Back Sunday shows that were amazing. The Revered Peyton's Big Damn Band is a lot of fun too.

    Worst concert: Kid Rock hands down. My hubby loves him, so unfortunately, I have to see him again in a couple of months.

    i was wondering if anyone was going to say Live Aid (either Philly or Wembly)

    must have been a cool show to have attended. i think i still have a bunch of it on VHS tapes somewhere. hard to believe those tapes are now almost 28 years old. d'oh!

    Spice girls reunion tour - completed every dream I had as a kid
    Radiohead - amazing, pouring rain, magical experience
    Alexisonfire - final tour last month. Single tear :(
    City & Colour - seen too many times because I'm madly in love with Dallas green. Swoon
    Mumford & Sons - jigging good time
    Some random local bands and local music festivals. Always a blast.
