Talking about Metallica in the other thread got me thinking. What are some of the best concerts you've attended. It could be because of the artists playing, the people you went with, or just overall greatness of the show.
Go!

Pearl Jam @ Bonnaroo 2008 -- Beautiful night, amazing crowd, great setlist
Nine Inch Nails - Detroit... cannot remember the year... Probably 2001 - 2003ish
Lionel Richie - Nashville / Cincinnati... b/c Lionel Richie is the MAN and one of the greatest entertainers of our time
Violent Femmes - Moonlight Gardens (Coney Island)... 2007... Poured down rain, crowd was small and awesome... show was fantastic
Rammstein was awesome also.. cant remember the year... but when that dude lit himself on fire for the first entire song, I knew I was watching something special.

I'm not going to try to remember the years. Just going to throw a few out there.
If you recognize my Avatar, it won't come as a surprise that I've seen Frank Turner several times now. He always puts on one of my favorite shows. Same goes for Josh Ritter. I just saw him at the Taft on Monday night for the God knows how many'th time. Always puts on one of the best shows.
A couple individuals. I saw REM play with Modest Mouse and The National in Chicago about nine years ago.
CAKE at The Vogue in Indianapolis.
Violent Femmes at Bogarts probably 20 years ago.
Both The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. Separate concerts. Both at the old Riverfront Stadium. Again, we are going back about 20 years.
They Might Be Giants and Jonathan Coulton playing together at the old Southgate House six or seven years ago.
The Madison Theater - sometime in the last ten years. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists headlining with The Hold Steady and Matt and Kim as openers.
And just this past year, Prince playing at The Louisville Palace Theater. I never saw him in his early days, but it was still every bit as good as I could have hoped it would be.
I've probably named way too many, but I've also probably left several out. lol
Oh, and I just saw Weird Al at the Fraze last year for the first time despite loving him for probably the last 30 years of my life. Worth the wait. Such a good show.

The Shins concert at the Shoe was amazing. Was in the 5th row. James Mercer and the Shins are one of my favorites. Ra Ra Riot opened and they were great as well.
Hozier and the Dawes at the Shoe were pretty great last year.
Fitz and the Tantrums and Capital Cities at Madison a couple years ago.
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw at Paul Brown a few years ago. I ran into a country phase in college. Gladly, out of that now.
Rob Thomas at Taft a few months ago. I'm a huge Rob and Matchbox 20 fan.

Hey nothing wrong with a little country... my first show was Tim Mcgraw and Martina McBride back in '96 / '97 Not my music of choice these days, but I cant still enjoy a good country song from back then. |

Fare Thee Well in Chicago this past summer was probably my single greatest concert experience. Literally everything flew there. Security was so lax, you could get up and pretty much go wherever in the venue and even got help from "security" to get on the field or pit areas. I even heard of gate attendants taking money or used tickets to get into the event that was sold out. Everyone was so open and happy and there was literally nothing else like it. The feeling I had leaving there was indescribable.

DMB at Beacon Theater for their album release in 2009. I got tickets last minute, booked a flight and hotel, stayed two nights and flew home. Total whirlwind of a trip.
Passion Pit in 2010 was a fucking dance party, and had a total blast that night.
Garth Brooks when he first started touring again. The very first CD I owned was his, and seeing him live was my musical life coming full circle.
Gentlemen of the Road Stop with Mumford & Sons in 2013. Hometown show. Period.

By far the BEST was Tilly in the Wall, in Atlanta at the Drunken Unicorn where I proposed to my fiance (now wife). ;P "Amidst the starry stage landscape, the unicorn-embellished walls and the youthful, jam-packed, sweat-drenched crowd, Omaha, Neb., quintet Tilly and the Wall was right at home, literally (two members of the band—guitarist Derek Pressnall and keyboardist Nick White—are from Atlanta). “It feels good to be back,” Pressnall declared. The hour-long set to follow was nothing short of a celebration—full of energetic, dance-along rhythms, colorful stage antics (as evidenced by the band’s tap dancer Jamie Williams) and spontaneous marriage proposals. Kicking off the night with “Sing Songs Along,” a track off its latest album, Bottoms of Barrels, Tilly immediately had the crowd intrigued. Choosing a tropical-themed stage set complete with multi-colored pinwheels and flower-wrapped mic stands, the band frolicked through high-energy crowd favorites like “Fell Down the Stairs” and “Rainbows in the Dark.” After finishing the latter, and receiving overwhelming praise from the crowd, vocalist Neely Jenkins choked up. “You guys made me cry!” she said. But perhaps Jenkins was just preparing herself for what was coming. Pausing in between songs, vocalist Kianna Alarid announced the supposed winner of a T-shirt contest. After the “winner” made his way to the stage (with girlfriend in tow), Alarid handed him his shirt which contained the message, “Tracy will you marry me?” The crowd burst into screams, Jenkins and Alarid became teary-eyed and the soon-to-be fiancé gasped as her boyfriend knelt to plant a ring on her finger.
In the moment’s spirit, the band dedicated its next track, “Love Song,” to the happy couple.
The rest of the evening proceeded at a festive high. Opening act David Dondero and his drummer, Craig D., stepped to the stage to back the band during several songs, most notably “Lost Girls” and “Urgency.” Although the set was packed with energy, the highlight came during the encore. “This song’s about Atlanta, Ga.,” Pressnall said before blasting into the anthemic “Nights of the Living Dead.” The band invited Dondero and D. back onstage, as well as the band’s friends and family members in attendance, and—for the next three minutes and 55 seconds—the tiny Drunken Unicorn stage was where the party was at. www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2006/06/tilly-and-the-wall.html |

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but here's mine:
-Saw Bruce at US Bank Arena a couple years back. I now understand the legion of fans. Holy crap, they are wonderful.
-Seen Petty and The Heartbreakers twice. Always awesome!
-Twenty One Pilots at Bogarts. Before the most recent album came out, so they did some deep cuts off old stuff. Also saw them at UC for some student concert (meh, couldn't drink). Twice at Bunbury, second being the best because I made it into the music video.
-Saw Van Halen twice, once in Cleveland with Hagar and once in Cincy with Roth. Sorry to say it, the Hagar show was better because they had Michael Anthony. I've also went to that co-headlining tour that Hagar and Roth did where they said fuck Van Halen (like 2005 I think). THAT was awesome.
-The Hendrix Experience at Taft Theater about 4 years ago was really awesome. Too many incredible guitarists to name...
-Kenny Wayne Shepherd played Madison Theater about 3-4 years ago, no one really knew about it. I stood front row with my arms on the stage, right in front of him. He can PLAY.
-I was front row for RHCP at US Bank about 5 years ago (well side stage). Flea came down and stood right in front of me for Under the Bridge. Bucket list item on that one...(have a rock star play a signature song two feet from you).
-Jimmy Buffet concerts are always nuts. Don't remember them
-Guilty pleasure: Third Eye Blind in their hayday (99-00ish) at the Taft. Their second album had just come out. I was young. Actually seen them 5 times since. Twice at Madison, Bogarts, Riverbend as an opener, and up a King's Island (it was a pre-tour warm up show and it was really cool because they played a bunch of lesser known songs and did two encores).
-Aaaand I could make a running list of all of the incredible Bunbury acts I went nuts over. The Decemberists, Father John Misty, WTM, Weezer, Delta Rae, Gaslight Anthem...on and on.
-Lol, just remembered the one year in high school (2003) where I scored this backstage passes to Warped Tour. You wouldn't catch me there normally, but it was free. I was on stage for A Fire Inside and met the Ataris.

This will show my age, but the best show I've attended was the 1982 US Festival in Glen Helen Park, CA. Of all the acts that played, Talking Heads & The English Beat were the pick of the litter.
Also, the Ramones managed to keep their leather jackets on for a few songs in 100f+ weather before going with the strickly white Tshirt and jeans set.
Seen a lot of great acts over the years, including here at Bunbury, but that one was hard to top...
