Greatest concert/play/live performance you ever saw?

I am probably going to be mocked beyond belief for admitting this, but I went to the NKOTB reunion concert back in 2008 and it was absolutely amazing! I loved them when I was a kid but never got to see them, so I jumped at the chance of seeing them in concert. Sure, it was a little funny hearing 40 year old men sing about 'shorties', but they put on a really great show. I'll go and hide in my corner now...

Brooks and Dunn a few years back or Brad Paisley last year. Blake Shelton was pretty good a few months ago too.

Gosh I have seen so many good ones. I think I will go with my first though and say that Randy Travis and The Judds take the cake on this one.

Rush!!! I forget the year. I believe it was the tour for "Vapor Trails". Amazing.

PINK FLOYD 1994 PHILADELPHIA,PA



=====================================================================================

and in 2000 I saw "The Nutcracker" at the Sarasota Opera House... absolutely breathtaking performance..

What would you consider the best live show you ever attended?

I saw the Stones in 1989 at the first show of the Steel Wheels Tour at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.
I recently saw Muse and they were phenominal.
But last month I was in the second row for The Black Keys. It's hard to say that The Black Keys could even compare to the Stones but the experience was tremendous. Maybe because I shared it with my 2 teenage boys.

Very Interesting drum set...

I'd say my first concert was the best. 1976 Cheap Trick Opens for Kiss.

Umm. Hands down - best concert experience ever: The Grateful Dead, June 30, 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. I got to see Jerry Garcia live before he died later that summer.

jimi hendrix at the spectrum in philly in 1969 - greatest axe man ever imo

dead and gone but their legends live on

Oh, I envy you!!

I get mocked beyond belief when I admit this to people. First, a little background.

I love music, especially live, so I've seen a variety of different music genre in concert. Aerosmith, Moody Blues, Michael W. Smith, The Eagles (when they did the inauguration concert at the American Airlines Center), NKOTB with BSB, Bon Jovi, They Might Be Giants, Neil Diamond. Grew up in New York City, and frequented Broadway a lot when I was a kid. Les Miserables, Cats, Beauty and the Beast, Phantom of the Opera, Man of La Mancha.

Loved them all! Except for Michael W. Smith. Hubby and I walked out in the middle of that one. But the absolute, by far, greatest concert I've ever been to was...

George Michael. No question, without a doubt. It was about 4 years ago, and he moved around the stage just like he did back in his Wham! days. Voice was amazing. The energy in that arena was incredible. He was on our list of "acts we want to see no matter what the cost". Very expensive tickets and worth every penny!

Go ahead, mock me if you must.

I'm sure I am dating myself, but Aerosmiths Back in the Saddle tour 1982 was my first concert

A7x

Saw many a Greatfuldead show (spent the summer living on a green school bus called the Terripin).. yes i was a dirty hippy
got my camera in one show in Maine.. got some great shots of the band..

i thought that Fairport Convention that opened for Jethro Tull was the best show ever.. Fairport was amazine, Tull was incredible..

saw other good shows.. little Feat, Dylan, CSN, Moody Blues, ....

metallica for the last 20 years!!!!

In my "younger" days, I would have to say as far as the actual show, Marilyn Manson...all, like 6 concerts I went to of his.

I saw Incubus during their most recent tour and I really really enjoyed that...
