Best live concert you've ever been to

What is the best concert you have been to? I've been to a lot of great ones - Stones, B.O.C., Guess Who, Poison, Nazareth, Steppenwolf, just to name a few, but my fav would have to be the Kiss reunion concert. I've been a fan since I was nine years old and finally got to see the original members in makeup in 1990. Awesome!

Re: Best live concert you've ever been to

I was a HUGE KISS fan back in the 70's, would have loved to seen em! Best show I ever saw was Seputura who opened for Pantera at Irvine Meadows in (I believe '92). I wasnt a huge fan of Sepultura but they are from Brazil, & the day we saw em Brazil had just won the world Cup, so Max Caveleras (lead singer & bass player) came out & said "buckle up & hold on tight.........were gonna tear this place apart!" They did exactly that. Biggest mosh pit I've ever seen, my God that show was electric. I'm a big fan of Sepultura now! ;D

Re: Best live concert you've ever been to

For me that would be a toss up between Led Zeps 1st US tour or a free July 4th Beach Boy concert in DC where Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Jimmy Page sat in.

Re: Best live concert you've ever been to

ZZ Top is a great live show. I've seen them 6 times. But, my favorite is my first concert, Foghat and Uriah Heap. I was 16 and hadn't had my driver's license very long. Probably because it was my first.

I have seen more live concerts than I can even remember! :tongue3:

From 1972 to 2007 (Stones)

I must say however that the absolute best concert, from start to finish, was Elton John!

3 come to immediate mind:

1. Robert Cray at the Morris Performing Arts Center, South Bend 1990

2. The 3 remaining Doors at The Whiskey, LA , private party in '87(?)

3. Ramones, Houston, TX 1983
