    ACDC 2009- Perth concert. for Black Ice
    that band does somethign INSANE when they play in thier home town. the crown went nuts.

    Especially when "the jack" played and all the women took thier shirts off (no, not a joke, we perthians lov our acdc)

    being front row does help too though!

    I have two Ozzfest when there was Ozzy/Marilyn Manson/Rob Zombie/Disturbed/Slipknot and many others had front row middle of stage totally was worth the cost. Also saw Genesis as well at OSU stadium that was a great one as well. My first concert ever was ELO and opening act was Hall and Oats yea I am old...

    I’ve loved watching B.B.King perform. I gushed over the great performance from LIVE and storytelling of Gordon Lightfoot. I had a ball watching Elton John in his element and gained a new respect for Rob Zombie at an Ozzy concert. I go see the Boys of St. James Gate at least once a year and sang along with Sarah McLachlan, Colin James, and Great Big Sea. But for me there has only been one artist whose music and lyrics came close to ecstacy. Leonard Cohen.

    Last saw him in spring 2009. Have tickets to his current tour and will see him when he passes through town in Nov.

    Foo Fighters, definitely, 2008 and 2011. Smashing Pumpkins in 1995 was pretty amazing. Flogging Molly always awesome (when you can steer clear of the drunk-on-bud-light frat boys). Dave Matthews in 1995 at SPAC - seats inside the ampitheater and pouring summer rain outside. Couldn't get a better atmosphere.

    OzzFest 2000...the last 3 bands on the main stage were Godsmack, Pantera & Ozzy. And, we were sitting right behind the sound booth, center stage...in between sets, Tommy Lee & Vinnie Paul were there playing video games. It was AWESOME!

    I have seen Rush over 30 times. Favorites have been the R-30 Tour in 2004 or the 1978 Tour of The Hemispheres.

    Hands down - Stevie Ray Vaughn, Paramount Theater in Seattle, 1989. My girlfriend at the time was the ticket office manager and got me front row center seats. Turned out to be his last show here - RIP SRV.

    A semi-close second - Pearl Jam at "Drop in the Park', also 89 i think?

    Been to over a dozen Sevendust shows and they are ALWAYS my favorite.

    Close runner up would be Marilyn Manson.
