    The Police. My husband and I listened to them when we were kids and then they broke up. But they got back together and went on tour. BEST CONCERT EVER.

    Saw them in Tokyo......GREAT performance! They haven't lost a step!

    I love gigs and here are my 3 favorites; Queen - in Manchester many years ago, Noisettes at Rock City Nottingham, and Zutons outdoors at Nottingham Pines. But best value for me and quality has to be Mr Springsteen, Coventry City football ground amazing acoustic version of Born to Run.

    Ooh nearly forgot Jools Holland and his big band tour, but not to be out done Jamie Cullum, does an amazing live set.

    I must stop now I could go on forever!

    Amazing list! Nirvana w/ The Breeders must have been great.
    I saw Elvis Costello about 7 years ago. I was so pumped, but he was a total let down. He sounded great, but oh what a bore! It was a snooze fest for sure.

    MCCARTNEY!!! <3 It was amazing!! He played for almost 3 hours straight! Oh, and 3 weeks before I saw McCartney, I saw Ringo!! :) That concert was equally as amazing.

    My other favourites have been:
    Aerosmith
    Bon Jovi
    No Doubt
    Alexisonfire
    Linkin Park
    and NKOTBSB (yes, judge me, I'm a kid of the 90s that grew up on those boybands...)

    Garth Brooks - I was 14... A M A Z I N G!

    ME TOO! I saw him in Feb 1994. One of the best ever. Martina McBride opened for him.

    Then there's Garth in 1999 too w/ Trisha Yearwood

    All Time Low puts on a great show if you're into pop/punk music. Just saw them with Yellowcard a week ago and had a blast.

    Saw a bunch of bands on Canada Day way back in 1990. Tragically Hip and Kim Mitchel performed and it was a blast.

    Roger Waters, Queen and Rush are up there too.

    Rush!!! I've seen them about 30 times now, twice this current tour, and they still put on an amazing show. For me the only band that may have topped them is Pink Floyd, who I never got to see in concert.

    I was at the August 3, 1991 show at the Forum in LA. They played for 3.5 hours...rediculous. Best show ever!

    AC/DC....My husband and I's first trip together after we'd been dating a couple of months. It was his 4th or 5th time seeing them.


    You go girl I love AC/DC seen them 5 times.

    @Kristen82 Thanks, and Elvis was better when he was all cranked up. I saw him several times but he never matched his performance from '78.

    I forgot two other great ones so it's a dirty dozen, not a top ten:

    David Bowie Diamond Dogs Tour (sneaked away from summer camp to the Hartford Coliseum)
    Devo at Bginnings in Schaumberg IL (they had just released their first album and the crowd didn't know what to make of them)

    I also saw Kiss's first concert ever. They were total unknowns and warmed up for (I think) Argent and Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Academy of Music in full makeup and costume. The hippies in attendance were so freaked out that you could have heard a pin drop after every song. Good times!

    Trey Anastasio and the Pittsburgh symphony orchestra, honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

    Second to that would be seeing Joe Bonamassa live, he is just disgustingly good at guitar, doesn't miss a note.
