What is the best concert you've ever been to?

[Choralone]

Nirvana October of 93. Had the most fun there by far!

Runner up.

Kiss May 2000. Won't forget that one!

 

[Midnight Rambler]

So many to choose from in over 30+ years of concerts, but if I had to choose one it would have to be The Rolling Stones "No Security" tour. Front row to the mini-stage, Mick, Keith, and Ronnie were no more than 6 inches from me. Was true bliss when they launched in to a superb version of "Midnight Rambler".

Other ones in the running : Pink Floyd's The Wall tour, Eric Clapton's "Nothing But the Blues" tour, SRV & Jeff Beck together, Roger Waters' "Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking" tour w/Clapton on lead guitar, Rush' 2112 tour, Todd Rundgren's Utopia (the RA tour), just about every Neil Young show (w/ or w/out Crazy Horse), Roger Waters' "In the Flesh", several World Series of rock shows at Cleveland Stadium (esp. PF's "Animals" tour) ...

Louddog9999 go see Tesla I saw them 4 or 5 times in the 80s and they rocked. I would have to say Tori Amos was my best show which is kinda strange because I grew up loving Heavy Metal.

[thebestMAX]

A long time ago but a toss up between Louie Armstrong or Bob Dylan.

 

[nickdakick]

Santana and Queen in the early 80's, hands down.
And yes I am that &quot;old&quot;, kids.

 

[Rio Rebel]

Pink Floyd, The Division Bell Tour, Birmingham.

For concerts without the frills and just pure musicianship, I loved seeing Paul Simon in New Orleans Lakefront back in 1991 or so.

The Beach Boys used to tour with America...I saw that tour a couple of years in a row down in Biloxi, MS. It was a good combo of great music (America), followed by sheer fun.

 

[bigd480]

Lilith Fair (the first one)

Outkast (came to campus)

Mystikal/UGK (carmona custom car show)

 

[Midnight Rambler]
