    The Eagles! Their Hell Freezes Over tour was my first concert ever. I have seen many since then and have seen them two more times. They hands down put on the best show. It's not fancy just awesome music.

    I have to agree with you that concert was amazing. They were so good. They must have played for hours.

    Yep. No opening act. They take the stage play for three hours and they are done. They may be old guys now but man they can play! And their harmonies are spot on.

    Hmmm, no one has mentioned my favorite band yet, so welcome to the gutter...

    OVERKILL

    I've seen them 3 times so far, and they're getting ready to tour with Testament for the Dark Roots of Thrash Tour. I saw where somebody else mentioned Amon Amarth... That was a kickass concert, and probably the most brutal moshing I've ever done. After Overkill, I would have to rank concerts as:

    Testament
    Amon Amarth
    Manowar
    Megadeth
    Exodus (Rob Dukes just isn't the same as Souza)

    I've watched the DVD and listened to the CD more times than I can count. I'm very jealous of this.

    I have way too many to choose from, but I'm going to do my best.






    Pantera: Ozzfest 2000. They had trouble at the airport and showed up a tad late. They went long on the set anyway, and Phil drank an entire bottle of Jack during the set. Fairly amazing.

    I went to my first concert when I was 14, my mom drug me to see Santana. And I will tell you that even at 14 it was the most memorable concert I've ever been too!! But I here are the most fun I've had at concerts:

    The Offspring- my legs were so tired from jumping!
    The Killers x3- maybe they're not your thing, but The Killers put on an amazing show, and the energy is always so electric when I go, simply amazing!
    Rise Against x4 - another energized performance I always leave with no voice!
    Social Distortion- when I went I never listened to a song of theirs, but a shoe was thrown at my head and I twisted my ankle pretty close to the pit so I paid attention and fell in love with Ball and Chain!

    Some small mentions:
    Jimmy Eat World
    Fall Out Boy
    The All American Rejects
    AFI
    My Chemical Romance

    Great Big Sea puts on an amazing show. (A Newfoundland band who sings a lot of Irish drinking songs, etc)

    The best concert though was the New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. (Yes, hardy har har) It was amazing, full of energy, I can't wait to go again this year.

    Yup that represents how many times I've seen them.
    Then it would have to be:

    The Cure
    Pink Floyd
    Primus (also like 6 or 7 times)
    Ministry
    Nine Inch Nails
    Korn
    Sevendust

    My next MUST SEE bands are: A Perfect Circle and Puscifer

    New found glory...saw them open for paramore (seriously they OPENED for them) and they completely upstaged them. Been a fan ever since.

    Oh and McFly (of course), don't judge me they're a lot better live then people give them credit for.

    Too many to list, count, or remember. I usually go to 20+ a year.

    Most memorable would be Lynyrd Skynyrd

    I know nobody is going to like this... but I have been to SEVERAL concerts... and Justin Bieber gives the best performance, HANDS DOWN! I've seen him 4 times, and this past time on his Believe tour was the absolute BEST!

    Ok so I'm showing my age....Skid Row opening for GnR!

    I think I actually saw the same tour....think it was back in the fall of 1991

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

    Think I saw them in September '91 at the old Capital Center/USAir Arena, just outside DC.....

    Bon Iver in Little Rock, AR last summer! It started raining in the middle of the concert and everyone just stood up and started dancing around in the ran in the grassy "cheap" seats where I was sitting. Best concert ever!

    I was 36 when I went to my first concert last year and have been playing catch up ever since. Of the shows I've seen, The Offspring and Social Distortion were among my favorites.

    The best concert I've seen was also by my favorite band, Flogging Molly. I've seen them three times to date and have tickets on back to back nights next month. Their show this past November at the Music Farm in Charleston was the best concert I've seen. Being front row center stage may have helped. By the end of the show I was exhausted, battered and bruised from the crowd surge and moshing but would have loved for the show to continued on through the night. FM puts on one hell of a love show.


    I'm the big guy with the shaved head up front.

    Cherry Poppin Daddies, they played Alternative music before they did Swing.
