Metallica, i think it was 97, at a small club called "Münchenbryggeriet" here in Stockholm. Very nice...

Paradise Lost 96 at Circus, also in Stockholm. I got a Headbangers Ball T-shirt from Vanessa Varwick :)

Stone Roses last gig...

Queen's last gig at Knebworth Park in 1986.
200,000 people in a field!

They came on to 'One Vision' blasting out of the sound system at about twice the volume of anything previously. The crowd was really getting into it, bouncing up and down, clapping, screaming, and on the final keyboard chord before the guitar, Freddie appeared and the crowd went completely ballistic (If you hear the 'Live Magic' album, turn it up as loud as you possibly can stand. Shut your eyes and imagine a fifth of a million people in a relatively small field all around you! All pushing into you. All going mental.

Still sends shivers down my spine thinking about it :thumbsup

Nice i saw them both at reading too, as well as finch who were amazing :thumbsup

back when I was a concert promoter, in my younger more naive days... my favorite 5 concerts I put on:

1. The Rentals
(first show I put on, their 3rd show ever - Maya Rudolph from their touring band is now on SNL. Spent the day hanging with her and Cherie, Matt Sharp was nowhere to be found)

2. Blink 182 / Less Than Jake / Buck 'O Nine
(actually made some $$ and had a good time)

3. Sublime
(their last show ever before Brad Nowell OD'd. major stress night, but it came close to selling out)

4. Ash
(nicest guys - too bad the show did like, 60 people and we lost $300).

5. They Might Be Giants
(one of my favorite groups of all time - lost $8000 on the show because of weak ticket sales. I never even got the meet either John).

Thanks to $$ from porn I get to see a lot of concerts every year

I should have gone to seattle to see paul mcartney, I heard that was good

There were so many that it's hard to remember them all

some of the best lately

Billy Joel Elton John *****
U2 *****
Eagles *****
Supertramp ****
Peter Gabrial ***
Rush *****

Going to see Springsteen Shortly

Nice to see some TMBG fans.

You were there this year? What a great day, the line up was incredbile and the rain stayed away until the last couple sets and then Muse on stage with an electrical storm was perfect.

Ash were just really really good that day tho. Burn Baby Burn.

Yeah, they aren't really well known in the States, eh? I noticed their recent videos are shot in the States so I guess they are making a play. You certainly woudn't have had trouble selling tickets in the UK.

LOLLAPALOOZA '92-

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ministry
Ice Cube
Soundgarden
The Jesus And Mary Chain
Pearl Jam
Lush
Temple Of The Dog
Jim Rose Circus and Sideshow

That show rocked.

Hendrix @ Isle of Wight
The Who @ Charlton
Pink Floyd "Animals" @ Wembley
Eric Clapton "Prince's Trust" @ Royal Albert Hall
Rolling Stones free concert in Hyde Park

Eddie Izzard @ Hammersmith (Does a comedian count? If not, Bob Marley and Queen were good there too)

A guy called Jake Thackeray played his very idiosyncratic songs for almost 3 hours at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon once. Every time he tried to leave the audience cheered him back. I don't think anyone noticed after the first few minutes there were fewer than 50 sitting in the big auditorium: Jake got everyone front and center and the concert was like in someone's home.

Union Underground and From Zero. This wouldn't be favorite if it was just a normal show but this was at a local venue that holds only 300 people. Talk about a fucking house party! One of my friends is in with some big promotors and landed the show while they were passing through. Only 300 people and the place was literally rocking from the crowd jamming. You could get as close as you wanted and there was no backstage so everyone was right in the middle of the show.

Chicago 2002 Rock & Roll Blackout

pearl jam rulez :Graucho :winkwink:

Meatloaf, at a local rock bar when i was 16. We had a table right next to the stage. Meatloaf was so wired, and sweating like a pig. The sweat was just flying all over us.

I got sprayed in the face with pepper spray at the Anger Management concert last year. That was fun fun fun.

Family Values was good (Linkin Park was worth being squished to death by really big men for a couple of hours) and Lilith Fair was a good experience too...but the best concerts I've ever been to have been Depeche Mode, HANDS DOWN.

I've seen them in concert three times now and it's an out of this world experience. I love them.

Busta Rhymes is pretty good in concert too, as is Janet Jackson.

I saw that too but Tommy Page was on the bill too at Dorney Park in PA. I was so excited..now I would hate myself for saying that.

Now thats what I'm talkin about!

NKOTB 4ever! :thumbsup

T in the park 1994 Scotland http://www.tinthepark.com/

That was one of the first concerts i even been to. I saw them during a summer between 6th and 7th grade when on tour for their album 'Some Great Reward.' I begged and begged my parents to go for months and months. Luckly my older brothers best friend drove at the time and he was a friend my parents trusted.

What i would have given to have seen the Speak and Spell tour.

I've seen them many many times since then, but one show i remember well, was when OMD opened up for them. That was a really great show.

Another favorite was seeing New Order. Echo & the Bunnymen opened for them. Great combination and also great show.

Yep was there for the whole weekend :) didn't see as many bands as I would have liked to due to the rather high alcohol intakes ;)
Will be going again this year as metallica have confirmed :Graucho

Orbital In Madrid and Prodigy Party in Tel Avv ..

smashing pumpkins - dominion, london. also my first gig - so i guess it had added effect.

any Pennywise gig

bro hymn is the best fuckin live song in history

and any Strung Out gig

most talented and best punk band ever

Fuck yeah...Strung out RULEZ....their riffs are hard and fast...almost metal! :thumbsup Never get to saw'em live tough...but I can only imagine what a show it would be....
But I have to admit that after LagWagon...it would take a lot to impress me...they where so tight...sounded just like the album...and Joey Cape is one of the best singer i've heard...! (his side project "Bad Astronaut" is just amazing...)

pennywise kicks ass ... eh, what's the cd i have ... about time?

Have they? Anyone else confirmed? Wonder if Leeds is going to go ahead this year..hope it does so they don't all come down to the reading site.

Mr. Bungle, hands down.

#2 would have to be Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

1. Nirvana, Pearl Jam RHCP - New Years Eve 1992 Cow Palace, San Francisco

2. RHCP, Fishbone, Beastie Boys, Mary's Danish - Hollywood Palladium 1991
