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

[vi edit]

A 4.5 hour long concert by System of a Down, Spineshank, HedPE, and Fear Factory. Fear factory played for 2.5 hours!!!! I was sore and tired for a week after that concert

Best $14 I have EVER spent.

Hardly remember it but the best had to be the Alice in Chains Dirt tour in 1993. but more recently the M2K Tour in 1999 with Metallica, Kid Rock, Creed, and Sevendust was good stuff

 

[snoogans]

Toss between Marilyn Manson or the Taproot/Incubus/Deftones show

 

[Entity]

<< Dave Matthews Band, '92, Coffeehouse in VA. >>



Bastard.

Mine? DMB, Crash tour, end of their tour @ the Gorge in 1997. They played for about 3 1/2 hours. God, that was amazing.

I've never been to a concert

Next time I have some spare change and one that I want is in the area I plan to go!

C'mon, no votes for GTR yet? Actually the best for me was Emerson, Lake, and Palmer...errrr scratch that, I think it was Cozy Powell behind the drums. Keith Emerson's keyboard solo was something to behold.

Best buzz came from the Deep Purple reunion concert. Some guy just came walking up the aisle with literally a garbage bag full of doobage. It did provide for entertainment after they blew a fuse on the stage when they tried to fire up the pipe organ.

Other than that the best would line up as Rush, Rush, Rush, and Rush. But the worst concert I went to was also Rush, but that was at the Cap Center in D.C., and the design of the place created the worst accoustics imaginable, so it ended up being about the only concert I went to that I can say I did not enjoy.

The NYE y2k phish concert in the middle of nowhere, Florida. Was an awesome 3-day event and was literally in the middle of the everglades with no real civilization anywhere. All 100,000 people who attended camped out in tents and cars, it was like a huge city of tents. Everyong was so carefree too, i'm telling you hippies are the friendliest people in the world.

 

[loup garou]

jorken--my roomate was there for that. I wish I could've gone!

 

[FrogDog]

The only concert I've even been to was last year's Summer Sault. Smashing Pumpkins, Our Lady Piece, Foo Fighters, Trebble Charger, A Perfect Circle and some other not-so-good bands. It ROCKED.

Edit: Finger Eleven was there too. Kami just reminded me...

 

[IamDavid]

Please don't attack me but the best concert I went to was a Creed concert about a year ago.. Also playing was 3 Doors Down and Sevendust... A truly excellent concert.

 

[Taz4158]

The Beatles
Queen
Simon And Garfunkel
Harry Chapin
Gordon Lightfoot
Wings
Worst:
Any Who concert I ever saw.

 

[MiniThug]

Buzzfest every year seems to take the cake but other than that, the Limp Bizkit concert was awesome.

 

[kami]

Deftones/Incubus

The Finger Eleven concert was good too.

There's a Fear Factory/Kittie concert coming up in my town soon..I'm sure that's gonna rock ass.

 

[thEnEuRoMancER]

Definitely REM.

 

[Farbio]

jorken, that definitely was an awesome festival down in the 'glades

 

[Whitedog]

I've been to a LOT of concerts that were just REEEEEEEEALY good. It would be too hard to lable one as being the best.

YES in 1995 stands out as amoung the best.


It's a lot easier to think of what the WORST one was.

And the winner is....

&quot;MOTLEY CREW, 1986&quot;! hehe

 

[radiocore]

It would have to be my first one.

It was No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls, and Bush....

that concert rocked!

 

[DesignDawg]

I don't know about the best SINGLE concert, but
In the course of only about a month and a half, I saw Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and James Taylor in concert. Three AMAZING shows in 6 weeks. An unforgettable summer, to be sure.

[loudog9999]

I saw Korn Kid Rock and Metallica together, that was pretty awesome

 

[Ornery]

Cerebus451, why did you pull back on the ELP selection? They get top spot for stadium sound from me. Every stadium concert I'd seen, up till theirs in the early 70s in Cleveland, had really poor sound. Loud ain't what I consider good sound. They were the first band to set up speakers to sound GOOD in that stadium. And it was quad sound to boot! I won't even mention Keith Emerson's spinning grand piano! :Q

For best show, surprisingly, Alice Cooper's &quot;Welcome To My Nightmare&quot; was better than the studio recording. It was enchanting and the sound was perfect! A close second was Genesis' &quot;Lamb Lies Down On Broadway&quot;. Weird and wonderful!

 

[SilentBoB]

I went to an ICP concert last month while they were doin the Bizzar/Bizaar tour. That was the greatest show I have ever been to. Faygo was everywhere and the moshing was great. Took a week to recover.

 

[Yzzim]

I saw Michael W. Smith and DC Talk in concert, that was pretty fun
Billy Graham spoke afterwards which was the highlight, imho

 

[loudog9999]

anyone ever saw tesla, thinking about going to see them soon and wonder if it would be worth it

 

[The Stigenator]

The one I was the star of the show... yes the times we played as a school band.

 

[Deicide]

I've only been to one concert, so I guess its the best one I've ever been to, out of default. It was in Buffalo NY, Cannibal Corpse w/ Angel Corpse opening for them. Pretty good show, CC sounds really good live.
