    Pink Floyd, Soldier Field, Chicago, IL. July,1994. It stormed a couple of hours before the show, and rained on and off during the show. The rain drops falling through the laser light show only added to the awesomeness.

    Rollins Band in early 2000's Australia tour. Henry shook my hand for being the only girl in the front row.

    SOAD - 2003 I think, in Brisbane Australia

    Any time I see Mike Patton - Faith No More, Tomahawk or Fantomas

    Every RUSH tour since 1977s A Farewell To Kings tour right through last years Clockwork Angels Tour. Yes, I've seen them all, some several times.


    Yeah, i'm jealous! Farewell To Kings is one of my favorite Rush albums. Xanadu is a masterpiece!

    I'm incredibly jealous of some of the concerts some of you have been to.

    My best: Five Finger Death Punch with Trivium and In This Moment opening...was total mayhem

    Rockfest in KC is pretty great too

    Totally jealous!!!

    I've been to some really great concerts - and honestly, until last summer, I would have said Elton John. His shows aren't just concerts, they're an experience! ... then I saw Luke Bryan in August 2013 on his Dirt Road Diaries tour. Holy crap. He's amazing.

    Is more like a series of great concerts but Sonshine Music Festival in Willmar MN. Is usually always around my b day in July and have gone there lots of yrs to see all the awesome bands. Too many great ones to narrow it down to just one. My fav concert to listen to though is just my 6 yr old when she makes up songs and sings them in my car on her way to school sometimes.

    THAT would have been awesome. We used all their Metallica stuff as 'mingling' background music for guests before our wedding. Most of them had no idea, but a few quiet smiles of recognition were worth it. :-)

    I would have to go with my first,...

    The Police at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY, August 18, 1983.

    Joan Jett was direct support, REM was the opener.

    It was that night when I knew that I wanted to work in the music business, so I did what I needed to make that happen.


    Runner up,...hard to say, as I have hundreds of gigs to choose from, but Live Aid in Philly in July 1985 was pretty awesome.

    Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 1981 tour! Unbelievably hands down the one that surprised me the most and all the other bands that followed still did not put on a show like that--it wasn't about all the lights and video displays and showy stuff--his sound was fabulous it was purely music! The sound was incredible!

    Elton John, Philadelphia 2013

    Of all the bands I've seen, he rocked the hardest, and that includes metal bands like Metallica. That dude can ****ing bring it.
