What is the BEST concert you ever went to?


The Rolling Stones was my all time favorite.

I've literally been to several hundred concerts in my lifetime. I don't know about "best", but many were definitely outstanding.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Steve Miller Band
KISS
Huey Lewis & The News (probably the most FUN concert I've been to)
Boston
Too many others to name

Queen at the Garden in 1977 was another great one.

Yes. It was okay. I guess it was a revelation for some and it made a whole new generation of fans, but I was on them from the day I heard their first record on WNEW. I was like, "WTF is this?"

Macca was another great concert. You're a lucky man.

I'll post pics, if I can figure out how to post them from my phone without going to a third-party site.

Alice Cooper, seen him many times, Theatre of death (where Alice is executed 4 times) was great, but because of the setlist I prefer his show Brutally live.

But I think I've been to about 1500 concerts during the last 30 years, partly because I have been working in a youthpub where we had concerts every saturday evening.

Seen Black Sabbath 3 times, and that's okay, but I hate it that when Ozzy is singing he's only singing the songs of the Black Sabbath-period when he was the singer, no songs from the Dio years, Ian Gillan, Tony Martin etc. It's BS, it ain't Ozzy I want to see when I go to a BS concert, the other singers always sung stuff that was recorded with Ozzy.

Motörhead, Slayer, Rammstein, Anthrax, Saxon, Nuclear Assault, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest etc. Seen them all, more than once. Still want to see Venom one day in my life.

I would have liked to see the Hollies (with the original line-up), Metallica (first 3 albums), AC/DC with Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, Queen and Led Zeppelin.
Well, I know I have missed it, but luckily there's youtube, and they have several great concerts.

One that I wish to God I would've seen, but never had opportunity....

Eric Carmen, Wally Bryson, Dave Smalley, and Jim Bonfanti -- the original Raspberries, back on a short tour in 2005, the first time they played together in 30 years.
