What's the best concert you've ever seen? - Page 3

So hard to decide...I've been going to rock concerts since 1976 LOL.
The few that I actually remember (lol, shut up!) and that stand out the most would be Aerosmith (the first one), Queen (back in "the day" lol), Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz (seen twice, once with Randy Rhoades and then a month later with his replacement), Tesla/GreatWhite/White Lion/Kixx<---who I listened to homemade tapes of when I was a teen because my best friend was their cousin [img]smile.gif[/img] , Robert Plant, Def Leppard's return concert after their drummer lost his arm, and the last one I went to; No Doubt/Bush/The Goo Goo Dolls where I went crowd surfing (at 34 years of age) and got to meet the bands after the concert...I actually didn't see much of that one, I was having too much fun with the crowd lol!

I'd really like to see a lot of the newer bands that are out there these days but I'm old enough to be everyone's mom, including the band members! LOL

Probably the Queensryche Building Empires tour in Cleveland, OH. I think having 5th row seats had something to do with it.

Second is probably the most recent QR/Iron Maiden/Halford tour that came to Cleveland last year. Talk about three of my favorite bands.. (Halford played old Priest tunes..) It ranks #2 solely due to the magnitude of the bands that played.

My three favorites;

Godspeed You Black Emperor - saw them play a couple of months ago; they were simply awesome, and the venue suited them perfectly.

Radiohead on their tent tour - amazing atmosphere for amazing music

Reading Festival 1999 - just had a dam good 3 days

My senior year, I got to see Metallica and fronting for them were two bands...Suicidal Tendancies, and supposed to have been Alice in Chains, but they had just broke up and that really pissed me off, but Candlebox tok the stage and rocked! So,,,that was the best I have ever been to. I still hate that I didn't get to see Alice in Chains though...their music kicks ass!

The best stage show I ever saw was Alice Cooper on the Constrictor tour back in 1986. During that show he decapitated himself that was just incredible.

Probably the best for just music was in 1985 BTO opened for Van Halen. BTO came out and kicked ass for almost an hour and I remember thinking how is Van Halen ever going to follow that. Well they not only followed but they REALLY KICKED ASS for almost two hours. BTW that was their first tour with Sammy as lead singer.
