    Kid Rock puts on a pretty awesome show, and only $25 !

    However, for nostalgia sake, first concert - Journey in 1983 will always be my favorite

    Never been able to see Journey.. its my dream.. .

    The Flaming Lips, hands down. It was The.Most.Amazing.Musical.Experience.Of.My.Life. Steven Drozd and Wayne Coyne are some of the most brilliant artists out there... on par with Roger Waters, who's a friggin genius. Can't wait to see them again. And again. And again...

    Jimi Hendrix, that should date me.
  • So many good ones, but have to go with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. April 2013 on a college campus right before they exploded.

    Other faves: Grace Potter, Wilco, The Feelies, Grateful Dead, Radiohead . . . 1st Lalapalooza.

    I've seen him him 5 times and it's more amazing every time.

    The National at the Greek last year was even better than their Hollywood Bowl prior to that, Mogwai at the HMV Picture House in Edinburgh Scotland, Coldplay at the Bowl 2012....Tori Amos x2 with only her piano, Devotska ANYWHERE any time! Rodrigo y Gabriela..... and many more to come.

    Most memorable from the early days was Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Who, and Pink Floyd.

    Love the National, one of my favorite bands. They opened for Arcade Fire in Chicago a few years back...that was my dream bill

    Jealous.

    Also, no one has said it yet, but I'd be jealous of anyone who has seen Bowie live. I have a copy of the '97 Reality Tour, and I wish I'd been a little bit older, enough to appreciate him at that juncture!

    Jealous of you too. Roger Waters alone, or Pink Floyd. I've always been somewhat partial to David Gilmour's voice...

    1999 Family Value Tour.

    I had won tickets, but they were seats (WTF?!). Fred Durst called for everyone in the seats to come down to the pit, and so we did... security couldn't do anything against the hoard of people rushing. Spent the rest of my time in the General Admission area moshing and crowd surfing.

    This is awesome! I was madly in love with Durst back in the day.

    For the experience, California Jam in 1974 was one of my favorites. Rare Earth, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Eagles, Seals & Crofts, Black Oak Arkansas, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Emerson, Lake & Palmer played. It was a lot of fun. Went with three other Marines.

    In 1976, I saw ZZ Top with Blue Oyster Cult, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter & Rory Gallagher at Angel Stadium. That was a great concert too.

    In total, I've been to over 800 concerts in my life. The very first one was in Fresno. BB King. The opening act was Janis Joplin.

    The last one I went to was Sammy Hagar in August of 2013.

    You win! :drinker:

    so many to choose from. But it's a toss between The Dropkick Murphys concert I went to last year and The Black Keys/Foo Fighters the year before. I rocked my face off at both. Def need to go to some concerts this year.

    I saw tone loc at the swamp in fort walton beach. And yes, it was recently. LMAO!

    I also saw 2 live crew back in 01 and some hole in the wall bar in pensacola. I'm pretty sure they had the same dancers from the 90s. LOL
