it was back in the summer of '93 at portland meadows in portland oregon. the opening band blind melon. they got the 15000+ people worked into a dancing frenzy. the second band, my favorite at the time, was pearl jam. they played on awesome set that lasted a little over two hours, bringing out special guest victoria sweet to sing a duet with eddie vedder. the headliner was rock and roll all-time great, neil young. he played close to three hours, covering songs from his whole career. i remember wandering back to the car with my friends thinking that if i never saw another show, that that would be okay.

The best concert I've ever seen is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers rock the Gund Arena. they played for like 3 hours straight and just totally rocked. I saw Roger Waters and I saw Bob Dylan, but out of all of them Tom Petty just rocked the house the most.

By FAR, the Toadies and Diffuser this past fall. Been to too many concerts (as my hearing will attest), and it's really refreshing to see a band that isn't pre-packaged, and seems to really care about music. Not that the bands mentioned thus far are pre-packaged, I just really had a great time at this particular show...

Prodigy 1995
Ramstein 2001
Both great

I've seen many concerts so also more than one good one.
One of them is Orbital at Werchter/Belgium some years ago, splendid. The concert was open-air and it was getting dark. The stage was dark too, the only thing you could see were four lights moving around (the guys had this thing on their head with two spirals ending in a light bulb).
Another one was Loop Guru at Dour Music Festival/Belgium, also some years ago and open-air. When they started playing it was raining. After some songs they said: "and now it's time for the rain dance". And indeed, before the end of the song the raining stopped and the sun started shining. Of course they had seen the clouds before saying what they said, but it was still kind of magical.

Hmmm, tough one, I've been to a lot of concerts. Best one was probably Wâldrock 1996, because it was the first time I saw Slayer live, and I met my nowadays best friend there.

Close second is Slayer and Sepultura in the Statenhal, The Hague in 1998. Or was it '99? Have to look that up, I've still got the ticket, 'cause it has the autographs of all four Sepul-guys on it.

#1) Tenacious D, Long Beach Arena (Long Beach, California)

#2)The Cult (House of Blues, Las Vegas)
tied with
Green Day (Cox Pavillion, Las Vegas)

Also saw a good show from H2o in New Jersey last year.

Will be seeing Green Day/Blink 182 and Tenacious D in April.
