Posted: 6/23/2005 6:28:00 PM | The best show anyone will ever see as far as visuals combined with great musicianship:
Pink Floyd the Division Bell tour...I must have been 13....
The Tragically Hip in a 2,000 seat concert hall was pretty good, but the audio wasn't balanced, the drums were drowning out the guitar!
Can't wait for Pearl Jam in September!!!! The closest I'm gonna get to seeing Stevie Ray or Hendrix....Mike McCready rocks!

Then the tea party came out and rocked for about an hour!!! Setting the stage for the godfather of rock!!!! | |

Posted: 6/23/2005 10:33:58 PM | I'm not really a concert go-er so I don't have much to compare it to, but I've seen to Barenaked Ladies concerts and they were so much fun... a wonderfully natural hyper high.  | |

Posted: 6/24/2005 7:55:07 AM | Best and loudest concert ever was Lynard Skynard, The Nuge, and Deep Purple at Great Woods(now called the toilet, I mean Tweeter Center)
Close Second, Sabbath, Pantera, and the Deftones at the Fleet Center. The Deftones suck live, hence the reason this show came in second.
Best club show, is always the Mule, Warren Haynes kicks ass | |

Posted: 6/25/2005 8:04:22 PM | i have a few. all in pittsburgh except the last
stevie ray vaughn. syria mosque. couldn't stand the weather tour. just loved it when he said we are going to play some blues for ya. great theatre, now it is a parking lot, b*stards
bruce springsteen. civic arena. born in the usa tour. it was 2 days before his b-d and the crowd spontaneously happy birthday to him late in the concert and he said, "did you have to remind me?"
grateful dead. 3 river stadium. a month before jerry died, don't know which tour, there was so many. the moment they came out for the 2nd set, it started sprinkling, with in a minute the crowd was soaking wet from the rain. they started with the beatles rain and 3 more songs with rain in the title. they couldn't have timed it better if they tried.
david bowie. star lake amphitheatre. best greatest hits tour i ever saw

Posted: 7/2/2005 10:17:14 AM | | Have to say,,Theory of a Deadman,,Three days Grace, and Forty foot Echo,,,they were all amazing , they played in a samll city for the festival,,they were all pretty much new then when I seen them, as most people had no clue, who they all were. But they played to the crowd,,and had the heart that most have lost in thier shows now. Was outside, and sounded great, and just the atmosphere was awsome as well, as well as the music. Beleive me the next week,,,,most people kicked themselves in that ass for not seeing them play as now they are paying 4 times the amount of money to see them live!! | |

Posted: 7/18/2005 7:34:52 AM | Best small concert - 'Tea Party' a few years back, In Brisbane Australia. they just didn't stop playing.
Best Atmosphere small concert - 'The Angels' Last showing at Festival Hall Brisbane, Walked to the bus with 4 fold up chair souvenirs, Doc Neeson consumed the crowd.
Best Big Concert and crowd experience - ACDC if only because the Aussie crowd could sing every song of the 3 hour set.
Loudest Concert - See 'The Angels' above
Best local show - INXS return to Aus
Most mindblowing concert - Pink Floyd
Best Emotional Experience - Powderfinger
Add a few 'big day out', Splendor and tribal festivals in Aus and you round out my greatest live experiences. | |

Posted: 7/28/2005 11:25:34 PM | For Production, I'd have to say Kiss in 1997(?)
For Performance, I'd have to say Ambrosia in 2004... too bad no one was there.
For Special effects (Pyro, Lighting, Flying performers/Instruments) it would be,
Lional Richie, 1983 with his Spinning and Rotating Piano, and his duet with a rear screen projection of Dianna Ross.
Motley Crue, 1985 with Tommy Lee's rotating Drum Kit.
Kiss, 1997(?) with Gene Simmions riding a lift over the croud, and using wires to fly up to the top of the lighting truss. | |
