2 part question: What is the Best Concert you have been to and where was it..2) what is the best song you've heard live?

[MrDingleDangle]

for me

Best concert-
Rage Against the Machine at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC...i was up front the entire show...this was their Evil Empire tour


Best Song-
Trent Reznor and David Bowie doing a duet of Hurt....never heard it again...if anyone knows where i can get it let me know

 

[NewSc2]

haven't been to enough concerts et to be able to formulate a good response.. but here goes:

Best Concert: Weezer/Offspring Free KROQ Concert @ Six Flags Magic Mountain.

It was held in their small auditorium in Six Flags, so basically the farthest seat you could have gotten was about.. 50 yards away max.

I was up front for both shows, Weezer rocked the house, and Offspring wasn't bad either. Plus, free admission to Six Flags, and the park was closed for 2 high schools (lines were about 5-10 min. long )

Kenny Rogers, The gambler.

The best concert(s) that I have been to are the Bridgeschool Benefit Concerts over by San Fran. Neil Young puts the concert on and always has an incredible lineup. I would list the bands, but there's just way too many

I've been to a huge amount of concerts but the one that sticks out in memory was UB40, around 1993-4 at the Orpheum in Vancouver, BC. That was an awesome concert.

Hmm.. this is a toughie

Best Concert overall - TOOL , September 9, 2001 - Allstate Arena, Chicago

Best song live : TOOL - Third Eye October 21, 2002 - Indianapolis, IN

The first show was better overall because I was in the pit up close. The second one we got H. and Third Eye so I'll have to dub those as the best songs

Sleater-Kinney last October The Highlands Hollywood, CA. It was great because it had to be moved to the highlands from another venue. The highlands is normally a bar with a stage for small bands. Sk was the biggest band they've ever had by like 3x. The place was PACKED and security had no experiene with concerts. Man everyone was jumping around you could feel the floor buckle under you (it was 5 stories up in the hollywood and highland complex) That was one crazy night and my first time seeing them to boot and they rocked.

 

[StinkyMeat]

1. Ben Folds and a Piano in Albany, NY.
2. Phish covering Freebird a cappella in Albany, NY.
(ps, I don't leave home much)
