  • Easy.. Led Zep in 77 Jimmy Page was incredible. Followed by Bon Scott & ACDC in 78 Metallica in 97 Worst was Hank Jr. He was so drunk.. It became heckled and was awful.. Aerosmith was standout

  • I followed the Dead on the east coast leg of their 1990 tour. By far the best experience of any concert(s) I have attended.

  • single best?  pretty hard to pick just one.....gun to my head, I'd probably have to settle on Rush Farewell to Kings tour in early '78.

i have been to a LOT of concerts but id say my favorite one was in 1991, "the clash of the titans" it was megadeth ,slayer, and anthrax. i was young and the only thing i cared about was having a good time...and man did i ever! :)

AC/DC..............for old farts, they still kill it live. I have seen them 3 times (all during the Brian Johnson era, I was 5 when Bon Scott died). The first time was inthe mid 90's on the Ballbreaker tour in Florida, and the last time was during the Black Ice world tour in Buffalo, WNYbassman and I had semi-nosebleed seats, but it was still a good show. I also saw them at the S.A.R.S. concert in Toronto in 2003, and even though they "opened" up for the Rolling Stones, they blew them off the stage.......I was so unimpressed with the Stones that we left early to beat the traffic. The only other bands I have seen live multiple times was the hair band Poison, and depending on how much "medicine and cough syrup" they imbibed in pre-show, either they killed it or stunk. And the other, while not a fan of country music, was Montgomery Gentry, and I enjoyed both shows.

ACDC does put on a great show, I've seen them 3 times myself, once with Bon 2 times with Brian.. All shows were awesome, with great sound. I was saddened to hear about Malcolm having to stop playing, apparently he suffers from dementia & literally would forget the songs on stage.. Sad..

Seen SLAYER! about 30 times in the last 20 years & they never dissapoint always full on thrash & energy. R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman

Just got home from Tim McGraw. I thought it was subpar at best. 

 

I went to one of his shows years ago, and I agree, it was terrible.  It was the only concert I ever actually got up and left early.  Gretchen Wilson opened for him and her show was great, so it wasn't a total bust.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse

1978 right before I went to boot camp in Parris Island

Saw Metallica and Chili Peppers at Orion fest a couple years ago. Saw Tool in '06, and saw Black Sabbath in '05. Its pretty much a toss-up amongst them.

Summer jam 1982 Aloha stadium with Charlie Daniels,Joan Jet and Foriegner.

I saw Heart with Blue Oyster Cult in same stadium in '81

Ted Nugent in Lexington late '70's Tickets were $7 and they played for over 2 hrs.

Cheap Trick in the '70's- Tickets were $9

Niel Young-Late '70's

Heart. The show I saw they teamed up with Jason Bohnam and did several Zepplen songs . Stairway to Heaven had a chorus accompaniment .

I am probably on the older side for this forum.

That being said, the best " Show on stage ".

For me that's easy.

ZZ top

and Pink Floyd.

2 great performances.

I wish, I love Floyd

Single best concert I've seen thus far:  2009 I think.  Volbeat (when they were just getting their name out), opened for Lamb of God, who opened for Metallica.  This was at Madison Square Garden in NYC.  Metallica is my absolute favorite band so there was a bias there.  But it was a concert that would have given anyone chills. 

 

Next would be All That Remains when they played the Hometown Throwdown in Northampton MA.  I'm seeing them again in November with Emmure and We Came as Romans.

 

Im expecting the Parkway Drive concert in November to be on this list as well.

They've got a new album coming out on the 25th.  There's two songs released already.  Kinda seems like theyre taking on a more "radio friendly" mainstream sound.  Still good, just not the Parkway I've come to know and love.

Tony Bennett was amazing.  Recently saw Willie Nelson with Allison Krauss opening.  That was an unbelievable show.
