Best Concert Experience

I think Blind Melon is one of the best live bands Ive seen and Ive seen a lot since 1977!!

Papa Roach, never was a big fan until I saw them live when I went to see A7X,(also good) very good show, lots of energy.

AFI also puts on an excellent show.

TESLA, Most memorable concerts ever. The best, IMO. Matter of fact I'll be seeing them in Santa Cruz this Friday.

The first Pearl that was arrested for smoking refrigerated and discarded long before they ever hit the stage. The other was young. Actually managed to see them play, even if they were all old and washed up.

lol nah man those are my fav in order not the order of the show.

First concert i went to was Slayer, Slipknot, Mastadon and Hatebreed, it was ok, not good enough to make me buy tickets for a concert since though and that was about 7 years ago, might as well just listen to music at home On the whole i find that live versions of songs, well they're generally shit imo.

without naming names, i find little dives provide more than big venues.

Don't let that one experience ruin it for other concerts. Some bands do put on one hell of a show. I have been to HUGE concerts that sucked and little ass venues that rocked...

That's another thing.... The venue where the concert is held matters alot...

I just don't listen to music like most, for me it's either background noise or something to help me get through a task or walk etc. Spending an evening listen to non-stop evening just bores me, i often wonder whether i have ADD or such, can rarely listen to a whole song before having to put something different on. Why i never ever visit clubs and raves, i jut can't find any appeal in em. The phrase one in a million applies to me like it was tailor made

There are many good concert night are done in L.A. so its not any new thing but I like MJ's music night so much as there is so much passion on people when he is on the stage.

i was going to ask if anyone has seen young .. he's the one big old act that i'm dying to see live for sure..

i used to see a lot of like smaller hardcore shows, but haven't been to a ton of arena rock concerts as i was brought up against all of that shit, lol, but i have seen rob zombie open up for ozzy, and rob put on a really rockin show for sure.. i had a great time, and i'm not even like a huge fan, just was a good show..

i also saw metallica open up for ozzy for i think the ultimate sin tour and metallica was probably touring for idk, master of puppets.. cliff was alive, and it was also another really great show..

Back in '95 (or thereabouts) I saw the Jeff Healey Band at a place called Toucans in Ft. Walton Bch. The week previously I had seen .38 Special, and it was horrible. The bar was in no way equipped for that kind of crowd. At the JH (Funny how that works out!!) concert, there was only about 300 people, you could actually get to the bar, or get a waitress, the crowd was very cool and laid back. We smoked, had fun, and THOROUGHLY enjoyed the music and seeing Jeff play. I had a similar experience in Norfolk at a place called the Boathouse when I saw Robin Trower in the '80s. These wre without a doubt my favorite concert EXPERIENCES as a whole. But my favorite concerts have always been Rush. They show those 3 put on is indescribable.

eminem and Jayz at yankee stadium and Rock the bells 2007 when Rage Against the machine played, never have i seen so much energy, rage ripped it up

Tool last summer and N.I.N a few years before were the biggest production I've seen as far as stage show, lights visuals, Tool's moving screens that hovered over the crowd was badass. I've heard rush makes alot of sound for 3 guys! Would like to see em. Pearl jam was just here. Jeff Healy with 300 people would be sweet. I love those small shows. As sad as this is about to sound Nickleback was a great bar band back in the day before how you remind me i think? The early shows were way more stoner rock than chick flick soundtrack. the drummer always had a pot leaf on his bass drum.

The first Pearl, which was stopped smoking for refrigeration and discarded long before they ever hit the stage. The other was young. Actually managed to see them play, even if they were all old and washed up.

A Classic Crime/Deas Vail/Relient K/Copeland. Copeland's farewell tour in Seattle WA. all 4 of those bands are in my top 10 favorites.
