ZZ Top
The best one for me was The Scorpions in Springfield Ma, it was mid eighties.
They played lots from the Lovedrive album, the show was dynamic!
[QUOTE=PeepingScott;467019]A really hard question to answer!
Van Halen with Sammy on the 5150 tour was a double treat.

Sammy Hagar is on of the best solo artists on the planet. Van Halen is just not Van Halen without David Lee Roth. I did see the Sam and Dave tour where they both did Van Halen and a few solo tunes. Dave opened up and Sammy Hagar stole the show.
Dropkick Murphys in the shadow of Fenway Pahk on St. Pat's, 2005.
Best performance I ever saw was RUSH - All the Worlds a Stage Tour in Des Moines, Iowa 11/15/1976 (had to google the date) Those 3 guys Kicked A**!
Most memorable (due to odd circumstances) was Van Halen opening for the Doobie Brothers on Credit Island July 16, 1978.
Saw Metallica here in Waco when I was in 5th grade, And Justice For All Tour. It was AWESOME!
I'll have to pull out all the tickets stubs sometime. I love live music.
One of my favorites:
SPINAL TAP (Milwaukee, WI - 1991 or 92, Front Row!) Even got a pick from Nigel (Christopher Guest)
Probably the most fun I've ever had at a concert!

Best? No, but I did see Gordon Lightfoot last night. His best days are behind him but it was still great being able to see a musical legand put on a really good show.
He doesn't always do [i]Did She Mention My Name?[/i] but it's one of my favorite older songs of his and he opened the show with it last night and followed it with [i]Carefree Highway[/i]. That started the show off perfect.
He's 73, basically died twice so he's not the singer he once was but he simply nailed [i]If You Could Read My Mind[/i]. You could tell he was pleased with his performance on that one. I have some pretty good pics and video that I'll post later once I get it all loaded. We had 5th row seats. I've always wanted to see him and I'm glad I did.
So many to list ...
If I only get to pick one ...
Clash of the Titans!

I have seen a ton of bands. My wife loves concerts too so we see quite a bit. Hands down the two Pink Floyd concerts were the best. The Momentary Lapse of Reason tour in 1988 and the Division Bell tour in 1994. Both times I saw them at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin. The stage show was just as incredible as the band was. They sounded great!
