What was the best concert you ever saw/attended??

In honor of Dave's great 'First Concert Ever Attended' thread I thought this might be cool as well. What was the best concert you ever saw/attended??

I'll never forget my choice as it was The Who, in '79, late December @ the Boston Garden, 1st row, 1st balcony on the 'Who Are You' tour. This was just 2 shows following the Cincinnati tragedy & Kieth Moon had passed in '78 with Kenny Jones taking his place (although no one could really replace the great Moon). It was an incredible show & one that'll always be my #1 on my list.

Hands down, Alice Cooper. There was stuff going on all over the place the whole time. Very entertaining.

AC/DC For Those About to Rock Tour. It was my first time seeing the band.
Favorite release by AC/DC is Jailbreak '74!

The best one for me was Iron Maiden with Twisted Sister at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago. It was an awesome concert and if was free plus airfare lol. The only major thing I have ever won in my life was a Rock Flight from a now non-existent WLLZ radio station in Detroit back in 1984. They flew me and guest out there for two days, concert tix plus 400 bucks cash.

A close second would be Ozzy Osbourn's (I think it was Bark at the Moon tour) Mettalica opened for him and they blew him away. In fact the crowd at Cobo haul almost rioted and tried booing Ozzy off the stage.

For me it would either be Ministry or any of the ten GWAR concerts I've been to.

Neil Young 1996. I actually remember all of this one. It was outdoors in Burgettsville Pa. About 3 hours away. I worked the night before, slept a couple hours and drove up by myself ( no one else wanted to go). I had an in with a person at the local radio station. They gave me 6 comp tickets because the station didn't use them either.

Arrived and someone walked by looking for tickets........Sold the other 5 for like $60. Paid for my trip. The opening act was some really lame group "The Spiritulists" or something equally as lame. It was cool because I just laid down on the hillside and took a nap while they played and I was then recharged. LOL

Steve Earl then played. He was great also. Neil Young live is amazing. "Like a Hurricane" live was without question the most incredible single song I've ever seen performed live. When finished he had two strings left.

My wife was awarded a trip to San Francisco from all state and they had a private concert with Huey Lewis and the news, really he rocked, there may have been 120 people there

[bossmiller]

Wow, have seen several. As for one that blew me away was Stevie Ray Vaughn on the Soul to Soul tour in detroit, MI.
Second Row, about a year before he died in Chicago.
As for a hole concert experience, It would have to be anyone of the first 4 Lalapaloza's (spelling?) The first was
the best with Jane's Addiction ending the show. Last time I tripped away. LOL
