Wow, a TSO fan! I love Christmas-Serijevo 12-24 amongst others.

My top two:

Aerosmith at Club la Vela for MTV's Spring Break '97.

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at E.K.U. in '99

Ditto the U2 Joshua Tree tour (87) and Dave Matthews (with or without Tim Reynolds - each of the last 4 years)!!

Pirate, they have one on their new album, The Lost Christmas Eve, called "Christmas Jam". It does not sound "christmas-y", but it rocks! I can't stand still when it's on.

Elton John and Billy Joel - Face to Face tour at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh in 1994.

1. Monsters of Rock (The Black Crowes, Queensryche, Motley Crue, Metallica and AC/DC), Mainz, Germany, 1991.
2. John Mellencamp, Sandstone Amphitheater, Kansas City, 1992
3. Pearl Jam w/ Bad Religion, Soldier Field, Chicago, 1995
4. Oasis, Murat Theater, Indianapolis, 2000
5. The White Stripes, Murat Theater, Indianapolis, 2005

I have a few in no particular order:
Gigantour 2005 (Dream Theater and Megadeth)
G3 2002 (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci)
Tower of Power 2000
The Who, Summer 1989 (one of their "farewell tours")
Fishbone (just about every time I see them, especially while they still had Spacey T)
Damageplan and Shadows Fall, November 2004 (R.I.P. Darrell)

Cheesiest concert I am ashamed to admit I attended:
Y&T, Frehley's Comet and Faster Pussycat 1987 (3rd row, no less)

And the worst concert of all time:

Guns 'n' Roses and Metallica at the Rose Bowl 1991 or 1992

Project Revolution (2004?)
Linkin Park-soo awesome live
korn- soo awesome live
Snoop dogg
ghostface killa(?sp)

Jimi Hendricks, Boston Garden, Nov. 5th 1970
- pale writer

I still have the ticket stub. I'll look when i get home tonite. i don't think it was in 69. i'm pretty sure it was 1970 but then again I grew up in the 60's. I wish i could of said Woodstock but I had a job and had to work.--pale w.

I have never been to "a real" concert.

Brian Setzer Orchestra at the Roxy in Boston.

1979, The Police, performing at the Warehouse in New Orleans (if you wanted a seat, you brought your own, it literally was an old warehouse). They were just starting to make it big, and it was awesome. Played for almost 4 hours.

Second best would probably be Eric Clapton with Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

3rd would be The Who in 1983 (their first farewell tour).

Seeing Hendrix in concert would have been incredible!! He's one of the few bands/performers I wish I had seen...

Van Halen-January 1984
Boston- August 1987
Tina Turner-1986 (She was fantastic live)

I saw Sting and Annie Lennox in Minneapolis in July 2004.
Lennox was good but I actually thought Sting was boring and left before he finished.

Pink Floyd - mid-nineties "comeback"
Any Flaming Lips show - they are so much fun!!!
And I never miss Tool when they're in town - can't wait for the new album.

Pantera/Slayer in Connecticut (2001)
Clutch (every time)
Reverend Horton Heat (2003)
Black Sabbath/Godsmack at Hershey Park Outdoors (2000)
Motorhead/Corrosion of Conformity (2005)
AC/DC (every time)

Tori Amos, Palace Theater in Albany, NY

Metallica
Dave Matthews
Santana

I've seen so many shows. The best by far have been:
Aerosmith
Tom Petty
Madonna (I saw her Blonde Ambition in the 80s - I think I was 12??? And I saw her Reinvention tour last year)

Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Springsteen - were also great shows too.

Sugar Ros, radio city music hall. (I will kiss anyone who knows who they are!)

Stevie Nicks, greatest hits tour, The Gorge at George, Washington. (it was outdoors, on the egde of a canyon, full moon, and the air could make you high, is it possible to see her in a more appropriate setting.)
