    Does the one at Chuck E Cheese count?
    only if you were crowd surfing!

    I tried..but the darn 5 and 6 year olds suck at holding up the surfer. Must be their weak little arms. So what if I was 290lbs.

    DeVotchka. Hands down.

    Last year in Asheville, NC at the Orange Peel. It was amazing! During a few of their songs women did a trapeze act on some drapes on the ceiling. It was such a great show. xD

    Sugarland '11 Syracuse,NY It was their first show after the tragedy in Indiana.


    Sugarland is AMAZING in concert at ANY time, so I can only imagine the emotion at this particular show.

    I have a really hard time picking a favorite of all the concerts I've been to, since it's really hard to compare different genres.

    SOME of the best, though, have been:

    * Sugarland - Milwaukee, WI - September 2009

    * Big & Rich [and the Muzik Mafia] - Green Bay & Twin Cities
    [The best part was the after show/jam session they did at the small little Green Bay casino following the arena show.]

    * TSO - Green Bay, WI - November 2009
    [Their pyro & laser show alone is out of this world. We were in row 7, I believe, and I had to start peeling off layers of clothing, because the heat from the pyro was so intense. And you wouldn't believe the people wearing SUNGLASSES in the first few rows. LOL Like nothing I'd ever seen. Cannot wait to take my son in March to experience it for his first time!]

    * And NKOTB - All six times! Most recently with BSB in June 2011 in Chicago
    Go ahead, laugh, but they put on one helluva' an AWESOME show!

    Elton John with percussionist Ray Cooper. Just the two of them. I'd have to look up the date to know for sure but it was about '92-'93, in Cincinnati. I've seen Elton 4 times but this was the best by far.

    Josh Groban was amazing!
    Paul McCartney= awesome!
    Jimmy Buffet, too many times to count. What can I say, I am a parrot head at heart.

    Hard to pick....

    I was at both nights of Joshua Tree at MacNichols Arena in November of 1987 and at Sun Devil Stadium in December - three U2 shows in a little over a month. Those three concerts were the source of about 80% of the concert footage in Rattle and Hum. But if I had to pick it would be the second night at MacNichols. That was the night Bono did the whole "F--k the revolution" speech during Sunday Bloody Sunday - let's just say he was a little angry & it showed.

    I've also seen Missy Higgins twice & was awestruck both times.

    Missy Higgins is amazing! We got there as she played her last two songs though, i was so upset! I hope to see her again soon :)

    don't know where to start...
    recently we saw social distortion at a very small venue...tons of fun!
    we also saw audioslave at a small venue and they did audioslave, soundgarden and rage (think this one takes the cake)
    we also saw muse with metric and it was great too!

    in the past...
    U2 elevation tour
    rolling stones steel wheels tour
