I have been to SOOOOO many. Here are a few of my favorites...
Elton John was my first - 1980 Aladdin Theater of Performing Arts, Las Vegas. I was 10 (thank you mom)
Queensryche is my favorite - 1991 Thomas and Mack, Las Vegas (I have seen them twenty something times)
Other great shows that come to mind...
ACDC Who - Made Who
Def Lepard - Hysteria
Exodus - 1987 Fenders Ballroom Long Beach
Metallica - Summer Sh** Tour
Blink182/GreenDay - 2002-ish. My daughters first concert... WAY fun
Rob Zombie - 2002-ish, HOB Las Vegas
Bon Jovi - 2011, St. Louis
Motley Crüe - 1985 Las Vegas
Nightwish - 2004 HOB Anaheim
Dream Theater - 2003 San Diego
Fates Warning - 2003 Denver (LOVE Ray Alder's voice)
The Offspring - 2010 Verizon Ampitheater
Saliva - 2010 The Pageant St. Louis
There are soooo many other great shows and I keep thinking of more... I have to stop.
I would LOVE to see the Eagles and Billy Joel. Unfotunately, every time they would come to Vegas, even the cheap seats were too pricey. During one of the Queensryche tours I paid $60 a seat in Vegas compared to $25 and $30 in other cities.0 -

Oh goodness... I've been to almost 500 concerts..Many of them were the same bands.
1)Family Force 5 --> They are so wacky and don't really have a genre.. They are different.
2)Skillet --> Seen them about 11 times. Even though it's the same thing, they have a great show
3)tobyMac --> For being about 47, he has moves! Back flips and what not.0 -

I saw Led Zep at the O2 for the tribute to Ahmet Ertigen, very cool loads of amazing people in the support band from Bill Wyman, Brain May, Roger Taylor, Foriegner - Awsome, awesome awsome!0

As far as the "best" ones, Id say Robert Plant, Cheap Trick, and Toby Keith. Most whacked....B-52"s (won tix) and worst, believe it or not, ZZ Top.0

I am biased. When I go to see my favorite band I'm never disappointed. But the most recent concert that blew me away was the
Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Awesome show!0 -

I saw Police concert in Lexington, KY around then. Was probably the best I've seen.0 -
First stadium concert I went to was my favourite. Red Hot Chili Peppers in Glasgow, 2008.
Longest train journey ever but so totally worth it.

I have seen some good ones: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Police (and also Sting solo a few years later), David Bowie, Van Halen (original group with David Lee Roth!!), some good country acts - Wynonna, and Clint Black were excellent. Neil Diamond twice. But by far the best ever was Tony Bennett - his voice is truly amazing, such perfect control and purity of tone. At one point all the mics, etc, were turned off and he sang acapella - I was in the balcony and every note reached us clear as a bell. I am still amazed.0

Stephen Marley...........Summerfest 2011 Milwaukee WI. Awesome!!!0

Reggie and the Full Effect.0

Definitely Prince on 7-7-07 in his hometown of Minneapolis, MN. He played an amazing concert and then played at First Ave club (from Purple Rain movie) across the street till the cops shut him down at 3 am. Just amazing ! (I am a huge Prince fan, can you tell? lol)0

1. Bullet For My Valentine #1 concert, that's what inspired me to loose weight in the first place.
2. Bullet For My Valentine #2 concert when I met Matt Tuck for the FIRST time outside his tour bus.
3. Bullet For My Valentine #5? concert when I got to stand on side stage while they did their show, amazing!.
And if we're talking about non BFMV concerts lol, my favorites were.
1. Atreyu, the crowd was SO pumped.
2. Motley Crue, Vince's voice isn't the same over the years, but they put on an amazing show with lights and a cool drumset.
3. Linkin Park, they sung like ever song and I found I knew all the lyrics, but that was before their new CD.0 -
