So, what is the best concert you have ever seen? I have seen a lot of really good ones, and it's tough to put my finger on the "best" one. I have seen Elton John (Amazing), Bruce Springstein (Amazing), Metallica several times (Great live), Tool (Amazing), Alice in Chains, Ozzy, Van Halen, Nine Inch Nails, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Page and Plant, Kiss, Pearl Jam, Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Radiohead...

There are a few that stand out. In 1991, I saw Nirvana at a small club called "The Bronx" in Edmonton. There were probably 200 or 300 people there. It was a few months before Nevermind came out and I didn't know much about them. I remember Kurt was HAMMERED and at one point, he stopped mid song to say he needed a cigarette. About 15 people threw cigarettes at him and he lit up and continued LOL.

About 20 years ago, I saw Rage Against the Machine and had no idea who they were. Truly one of the best live bands I have ever seen. All through the concert I was asking myself "Who the F... are these guys???" Shortly after the concert, I had all of their music and they became one of my favourite bands of all time. I have never seen them since. Part of me is sad that I haven't been able to see them again live AFTER I have gained this appreciation for them.

I have seen Pink Floyd a couple times, once stoned out of my mind so badly that I don't remember much, and the last time I saw them, I went completely sober so that I could remember it. Maybe my favourite concert of all time. Anybody who has seen them live will understand when I say that HUGE floating inflatable pigs with lasers for eyes while they blare out the base lines of "One of These Days", could be one of my most memorable concerts moments.

Another possibility for my favourite concert of all time was long ago when old school White Zombie opened for Pantera. That was one "angry" concert and there were times in the mosh pit where I literally feared for my life, but for heavy music, you can't get any better than that. It was truly amazing.

I saw Springstein about 4 times. Easily the best I've seen. Some other good shows I've seen have been Guns N Roses and Metallica a while back. Depeche Mode was good. Seen Pink Floyd as well.

I haven't been to many concerts, but one that stands out was not too long ago when I found out that Faith No More (my all-time favourite band) was getting back together and played here in Edinburgh. It was located in a relatively small venue, and a popular one for gigs here, and they rocked. The energy was incredible. They played all the classics and the crowd loved every minute of it.

Hmmmm.. The two best for me would have to be Pearl Jam (3 times in 4 days) and Dave Matthews Band. All fantastic shows.

I dont normally go to a lot of concerts but I have to agree here. This guy puts on one hell of a show and was one of the better shows I have ever seen.

Hands down...my best was the Foo Fighters at Lollapalooza in 2011. Arctic Monkeys were on before them and were delayed because of a MASSIVE storm that came through. Of course....we all stayed and waited through it so we were friggin soaked by the time Foo came on. Everything was kind of clear when they started until they began My Hero...........then torrential rain started again. And obviously Dave Grohl didn't give f*ck.......

That song + the atmosphere + it being the last band of the weekend.....best ever.

Have seen some pretty great shows - Tom Waits at the Orpheum in Vancouver in 2000 really stands out (something like 1,100 seats). I remember being inthe lobby before the show, seeing a guy there and thinking, 'Man that guy looks exactly like Eddie Vedder!' Then read the paper the next day and saw the review of the show, including '...in attendance, Eddie Vedder'. Kinda cool.

Tool in 2006 (Calgary) was amazing, pretty mind blowing show. Saw Ministry the same year, pretty intense.

Metallica in '92 was pretty good, and I also saw Paul Mcartney around the same time - biggest show attendance wise I have seen, close to 50,000.

Also a lot of smaller shows by some of my favourite, more obscure artists like Tanya Donelly, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean, Rose Chronicles.

First show ever was a good one too - Van Halen, with Alice In Chains opening way back in 1991...

Rylant, you are one lucky bugger to have seen RATM!

Definitely AC/DC at Montreal in 2008.
Black Ice tour. The show on their last dvd "live at river plate".
Paid 100$ for the show at Olympic Stadium.
I can't imagine a better way to spend my money.
6 guys go on an adventure in the city!
Memories that I will keep forever...
