    Vanilla Ice.................jk haha.....I would have to say Metallica...seen them 5 times and enjoyed every time

    So jealous of this...
    I will have to say Kid Rock, best concert I've ever been to! He is awesome!

    I saw Kid Rock at the Electric Factory and it was tremendous. He had fire, hot topless chicks and great music.

    I've seen Kid Rock 4 times in Detroit (we live in Toledo) and it's an awesome show! He always has to add extra dates.

    Recently it was Blake Shelton in October of 2011. He was amazing. And worth the wait (it took me forever to see him live).

    But the other show that sticks out in my mind is Roger Waters in August of 1999. That show changed my life forever.

    My favorite band live is the Counting Crows, I have seen them several times starting when they opened for Cracker on their first tour in the early 90's and the last time I saw them was about 1 1/2 years ago, their show is intense and emotional....I have always loved it, however the best show I ever saw was Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on the Born In The USA tour in Chicago at Soldier Field...August 9, 1985. They played for over 4 hours.....

    Very good live band, saw them about ten years ago

    Did someone say Hendirx. That would have been amazing. Had a ticket to see Nirvana play in Dublin, the show that never was, still have the ticket mind you.

    Was only thinking this morning how much I'd love to see The Clash, The Pistols play live.

    Not a big concert person, but I've seen three Broadway shows: Chicago, Legally Blonde, and Wicked. I loved all three, but I'm really happy I was able to see Legally Blonde because it was just months before it closed and I saw it right before the original Elle left the show. :)

    Several phenomenal concerts were the Stones, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, bruce Sprinstein, Grateful Dead, Simon and Garfunkel reunion very best, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and one of the many Elton John-Billy Joel concerts I've been to. Very worst was Brittney Spears concert on her downward spiral. Probably forgetting a couple of the best as we've been to many live concerts. :heart:

    Hairspray in the Millenium centre in Cardiff starring Micheal Ball. I went with my best friend and we had an amazing time, it was such a fun and interactive experience, the cast seemed to really enjoy it too :)

    Second to that I would put Video Games Live in Cardiff, that was a great nerdfest and really enjoyable!

    I saw so many bands in the early 70's - 90's that were the best in their own way. Joe Walsh, Joe Cocker, Jethro Tull, The Eagles, Elton John, Aerosmith, Seals & Crofts, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Black Oak Arkansas, Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Boston, David Bowie, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, ZZ Top, BTO, Blue Oyster Cult, Johnny Winter, Eric clapton, Cream, Doobie Brothers, The Commidores, Edgar Winters Group, ELO, Yes, Marshall Tucker, and the Moody Blues... The list goes on and on!

    I hae so many awesome memories of the concerts I have been to back in the days of "festival Seating". I still listen to allot of their music. Shows my age but I am ok with that!

    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.

    I am extremely jealous, I've been dying to see them for years but it never seems to work out, I love them!
    Best live show I've seen was a free mini concert by Coldplay for Jimmy Kimmel Live. It may have been five or six songs, but they were amazing

    Yeah, Coldplay are much better live than they sound on the radio. Worth going to see.

    Haven't seen too many but the most memorable and craziest for me was watching Mudvayne at The Palms in Vegas.

    Loads. I used to go to the Holidays in the Sun/Wasted/whatever they're called now festivals. Every time I would go to watch The Adicts and MDC, amazing bands, amazing shows and I was excited that I got to see T.S.O.L.

    On top of that Alice Cooper, Pulp and I know it's cheesy but Bjorn Again was good fun.

    I've seen so many concerts/shows that it's hard to pin down - different ones were great for different reasons
    U2 - Unforgettable Fire Tour at the old Spectrum in Philadelphia- very simple stage/lighting. Just the boys playing their hearts out. Ended the show with '40' and it seemed the whole crowd filed out and were still singing the song throughout the mezzanine.
    Springsteen at Veteran's Stadium - Born in the USA tour. Springsteen is a great show anytime
    Sting at Radio City Music Hall on his first solo tour (Dream of the Blue Turtles) - he had the most amazing group of musicians on stage.
    Rush on Snakes & Arrows tour from first row in Philadelphia
    Rush on Time Machine Tour - seeing them play Moving Pictures live from start to finish was amazing.
    Best show - probably either Lion King on Broadway or Cirque du Soleil "O" at the Bellagio in Vegas

    The Chieftains in 2005.

    I would looooove to see Depeche Mode live, but they never come our way. One of the drawbacks of living at the end of the world (New Zealand)... Also Pearl Jam would be fantastic.
