In Hawaii, we used to have crater concerts for New years and the 4th of July in Diamondhead Crater - the best I saw there (and I was backstage moving amps and equip for the sound system) was Fleetwood Mack, Flo and Eddie, Robin Trower(of course he had to do the wake up thing like Hendrix the second morning), Canned Heat and tons of other acts

I'm jealous, Jimi is one of the people I would pay way to much to see live. I had a dream i saw him play, lol.. looks like thats as close as i'll ever get

Gary

that was the first big show I ever saw. it was at the skydome and Jeckly's microphone stand was a rifle. Half way through the show the singer from Jeckyl sawed his stool in half with a chainsaw.

Rammstein (2005 in Berlin)-best action and show
Robbie Williams (2003 in Berlin)- best entertainment
Die Toten Hosen (1991 in Dortmund)- best indoor gig
Bon Jovi (1996 Wolfsburg)- best drinking beer

jayeff 03-06-2007 05:36 PM

Limos and trucking were early directions in which I expanded my first business. We had a lot of clients in the music business and I lost count of how many concerts I went to during those years: everyone from Frank Sinatra doing a European tour to Jack Bruce attempting a comeback in a small village pub. The Who, Stones, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc in between.

But one of my favorites has always been "Last Night Of The Proms" at which the real performers are the audience. I have been to three I think and the atmosphere is something else. Otherwise I remember a humorous singer/songwriter called Jake Thackeray who turned up to a near empty Fairfield Halls in Croydon one night. I think Jake and all the 50-odd people there expected a disaster, but he got everyone to sit front and center, and within a couple of songs we had forgotten we were in this big, empty cavern. In the end he sang for almost three hours and looked set to keep going, except the theater management told him he had to stop so they could go home :)

MarkTiarra 03-06-2007 05:36 PM

311 on 3/11 - best concert ever

spacedog 03-07-2007 01:01 AM

I went to a shitload..

alot of great ones..

Have to say Slayer at Veterans Memorial in Providence, RI was kick ass for their South Of Heaven tour.. what, with all the people playing soccer with a goats head in the bloodied up bathroom... and the pigs in full riot gear for crowd control afterwards :1orglaugh

David Lee Roth touring with Poison. I was a guest of Poison because I had a contact at Capitol records who put me down for VIP seats.. Waited til Poison was offstage before going inside the show, lol... I was out back smoking a bone with Dave :thumbsup

TNT with Twisted Sister & Great White was a great show at the orpheum in Boston,,, was in the 80s

White Zombie in Fitchburg

Alice Cooper at Boston Garden.. when it was the garden :) Faster Pussycat opened up,, Saw pussy several times that era.. as well as GNR many times..

Saw Guns & Roses several times before they hit it big... Drank with Axl & Slash at the Living Room in Providence.. a Japanese band opened up EZO-- "Cum on & wok & woll yah"...

Much Later, Slash took me & my buddy Arthur through the back stage entrance of the orpheum in Boston to get in free :)

WASP @ the orpheum.

Monsters of Rock @ Foxboro Stadium.. Van Hagar, Metallica, Scorpions & Dokken. Fucking scorpions fucking rocked.. I was so fucking baked..

Ozzy with Vixen at Providence Civic Center.. snuck in via the garage underneath, then climed a ladder, then into a vent then out on a catwalk & stayed high up in the rafters til the show started...

Greatful Dead @ Inglewood Forum.. crashed a Lakers game the night before.. never been so fucking wasted my whole life.. what a strange trip.

Clannad @ Somerville, MA.. ethereal & enchanting.. gave me goose bumps.
Met the whole band before the show while they were doing an in store perfomance at Tower Records & Maire Brennan asked me if I went to last nights show & I said I would love to have gone, but didn't know they were playing.. bought a CD & got it autographed, then she told me the store was holding a raffle for tickets to tonights show, & wow.. I won the tickets :) Met the band after the show & chatted for while, got pics, autographed tour books,, was fucking fun.

Oh, so many more..

Nookster 03-07-2007 01:09 AM

Well, here's my list:

The Grateful Dead (Oakland Colleseum 1995)
The Grateful Dead w/ The Dave Mathews Band (Las Vegas, NV 1995) - last show Jerry Garcia played on the west coast.
The Steve Miller Band w/ The Doobie Brothers (Devore, California 1997)
Paul van Dyk w/ Markus Schulz (Monster Massive, LA Colleseum 2005)
Paul van Dyk w/ Armin van Buuren (Monster Massive, LA Colleseum 2006)

CraigA 03-07-2007 02:14 AM

Bruce in the 80s--3 Hours non-stop. Born in the U-S-A, I was born in the U-S-A!
Stones--several times in the 80s and 90s
U2--several times in the 90s and 00s...great sound and always great stage show
Santana--70s, 80s and 90s...just great energy, great guitar artist
Bob Seger--70s
Billy Joel--80s and 90s
Elton John--80s and 90s

But I think my all time favorite shows were Prince concerts. I've seen him three times and the guy just has such a commanding presence and he rocks the house. If anyone that hasn't seen him before and caught the Super Bowl halftime show, you caught a glimpse of this guy's artistry.
