    1994. Pink Floyd, Soldier Field, Chicago.Laser light show during a thunderstorm was extra trippy when the raindrops passed through them. It was a truly incredible experience.

    The one I was at last night for my birthday was pretty awesome... front row for Queens of the Stone at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Still rocking out hard at 35. :)

    I have been to so many concerts, I don't know if I could pick a favorite....but I will always remember the first time I took a road trip out of town for a show...It was Year of the Rabbit (the frontman from Failure, they were opening for some other band I can't even remember the name of now LOL) at Alley Katz in RIchmond, The club is called Kingdom now. I was just so in awe and wonder that entire night, the excitement of my first show had me hooked for life.

    Every time I've seen Greg Dulli play in any of his bands has been amazing. Can't wait to see the Afghan Whigs soon! Oh yeah, and the night I got to meet him and the rest of the Twilight Singers was pretty epic. ;)

    Depends - type of music, type of venue, etc. Rodger Waters The Wall was awesome. But the moe.cruise I went on was equally awesome

    They are all good to me but I saw Creed when they first came out with My Own Prison and having never heard of them I was blown away. Velvet Revolver was awesome too but mostly because it was such a small venue. Not sure I've ever seen a bad concert :)

    Well I just saw Bad Religion last night in Costa Mesa, and they kicked MAJOR *kitten*! One of my favorite bands. But the best show I have ever been to was TOOL, Long Beach Arena, final stop on the US leg of the Lateralus tour. Minds were blown, euphoria was induced to extreme levels, and I get the shivers thinking about how awesome that show was.

    I watched Crown the Empire, The Devil Wears Prada, We The Kings, Yellowcard, Bowling For Soup, and Of Mice and Men. And it was the best show EVER. I'm going to make it a yearly thing now.

    The most awesome concert I attended was a three day concert in the Summer of 1969. Billed as Newport69, it was held in Northridge, California at Devonshire Downs, a horse racing grounds We slept in sleeping bags on a tarp in the dirt. It was pretty insane. Lots of drugs, sex and rock and roll. I have never been to anything else like it.

    Ike and Tina Turner, Albert King, Edwin Hawkins Singers, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Joe Cocker, Southwind, Spirit and Taj Mahal.

    Saturday, June 21, 1969

    Albert Collins, Brenton Wood, Buffy Ste. Marie, Charity, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Eric Burdon and War, Friends of Distinction, Jethro Tull, Lee Michaels, Love, Steppenwolf and Sweetwater.

    Sunday, June 22, 1969

    Booker T & the MGs, Chambers Brothers, The Flock, The Grass Roots, Johnny Winter, Marvin Gaye, Mother Earth, Jimi Hendrix jam with Buddy Miles, Eric Burdon and Mother Earth, Poco, The Byrds, The Rascals and Three Dog Night.

    I saw Eminem in 04 and he had Obie Trice, D12, Dr Dre, 50 Cent and the rest of G-UNIT, that was an amazing experience

    I saw GaGa and she is just incredible, I am a big guy but I was a little monster that night!

    Ive seen 50 cent for his own show and it was ace, probably my favourite

    Kanye West and Jay Z were good too

    Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Brian Adams were all good shows that I have seen
