I haven't seen to many real shows. I've seen a ton of bands play when I worked in a bar, but most of them were no names that suck.
Chimaira and Ill Nino were awesome shows.
Machine Head put on a pretty good show too.
I'm going to the Bud Bowl on the 2nd though, hopefully that's cool. Not the biggest fan of Kid Rock, but he breaks out some good tunes every now and then.

Some of the best talent comes from local bands. The first time I saw Foo Fighters was at a Sony Music party in California. They gave a private performance for about 400 people and it was the best I have ever seen.
Others I have seen that were very good:
Staind--but he makes you almost suicidal
Justin Timberlake with Pink(I was given VIP stage tickets so the bar I was sitting at was used as the stage they performed on).
Metallica-- pure insanity
Smashing Pumpkins
OHHH! I almost forgot...Beastie Boys with Cypress Hill opening (Check Your Head tour)

Always wanted to see Red Hot Chili Peppers but never got a chance. However, I did have a strange encounter with Flea outside a bar in LA. I was on my cell sitting on the sidewalk and I look up because this guy was just standing in front of me looking like he was ready to take a pee on me. I smiled at him, he smiled back and then just stood there for about a minute..then he walked away. Strange but memorable.

Metallica on their Ride The Lightning tour played the Concert Hall in Toronto ('85? '86?), opening for WASP and some other, forgettable band. Metallica was still pretty much unknown then and the stage show was not much more than a hanging lightbulb. But everyone was there to see them.
The place was small, smoky and with about 1200 headbangers in the audience, they tore the place down for 45 minutes. So much so, that WASP (who were terrible, I don't know why anyone stayed) were all but booed of the stage.
I forget what years, but went to a shitload of concerts & shows back in the 80s & some in the early 90s.
Monsters of Rock tour. Van Halen, Scorpions, Metallica, Dokken
Alice Cooper w/ Faster Pussycat at Boston Garden
Lynyrd Skynyrd at Great Woods, backstage as a guest of the band

BEST ACOUSTIC - "The Bridge" concerts (sponsored for over 20 years by Neil Young) feature an amazing array of artists all playing un-plugged.
These annual shows in the Bay Area raise money for The Bridge School, an educational program dedicated to ensuring that children with severe speech and physical impairments achieve full participation in their communities.
The Bridge School has some past performances available on iTunes:
Not to switch gears here but my worst one ever was OffSpring. They were so bad that they got booed off the stage. The lead singer almost started to cry.

I don't get out much, so one of the coolest performances I have ever seen was Leon Redbone; he whistled a whole song and it was AMAZING.
Chris Isaak is a great old-fashioned entertainer and I got to dance on stage at one of his concerts (with a lot of other people, not solo on a pole or anything).
Southern Culture on the Skids was cool too because I got to throw fried chicken at people from the stage.
Worst concert ever was a Depeche Mode concert I only went to because my ex-girlfriend invited me and I thought I would get laid. Didn't get laid, and while I like DM, that kind of music is completely USELESS live.
WebWhoreBucks: Girls, a guy and a tranny -- unique indie porn!
Definitely two bends I would LOVE to see live and am almost 101 pct. sure that it will NOT ever happen..
Velvet Revolver kind of sucked if I would take Guns into consideration and as for Jane's I have at least bought me the "Three Days" DVD recently, haven't got a chance to screen that yet though.
Next concert - this wednesday - "The Smashing Pumpkins" was a super fan of them especially on the high school.
Jimmy Chamberlain actually put on an interesting solo album during their hysteric break up time and I am sure Zwan is also a very listenable thing for all the massive fans.
