What are the five best concerts you've ever seen?   

Wow! I would absolutely LOVE to see Kiss and AC/DC live! Especially back then!

My mom absolutely LOVES Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young - Neil Young I think?) and paid a VERY pretty penny for her concert tickets to see them a couple of years ago. Are your tickets ridiculously expensive for that concert, too?

I haven't really ever seen any BIG bands play live, but here are a couple that I really enjoyed back in high school (I'm in college now) when I was really into the "punk" scene:

1.) Rancid - I had been a fan for at least 4 years before seeing them and they totally lived up to what I had expected of them.
2.) The Distillers - They weren't AMAZING, but I'll always remember that concert.
3.) MEST - The lead singer, Tony Lovato, told jokes throughout the whole show. It was pretty entertaining.
4.) The Offspring - flippin' amazing! I saw them at an outdoor concert with LOTS and LOTS of people, and they just had SO much energy! It was infectious!
5.) Good Charlotte - I saw them when I was in 7th grade. So..About 6 years ago! It's amazing how time flies. This was the ONE concert where I wasn't in the mosh pit, and it was actually a nice change for once. They weren't all that amazing live, but I figured since they're the only semi-famous band I've ever seen live, I should probably mention it. .

Now that I'm naming them off..I've definitely seen quite a few more!

Oh, I saw the Kilroy Was Here tour by Styx, fab! Sting - hey, the tickets were FREE!!!! Stevie Nicks, more free tickets. Elton John - a DATE!!! Saw Arlo Guthrie TWICE for free! Moody Blues and like Styx, I paid for those tickets! Jefferson Starship - well I think they were just Starship by then, travelled to Houston to see that, and I went down to Houston to see Paul (picture hearts and stuff here) McCartney back when Linda was alive - at the Astrodome (terrible place for a concert.)

I mean, I saw a lot of shows, but those are pretty memorable. I mean, I saw the Animals, the Beach Boys (twice), Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Monkeys runion tour, Herman's Hermits (well, they were at the reunion too, but saw them headline.)

Walked out of Deep Purple, that was memorably bad.

I think I may have only seen 5 concerts in my entire life.
Okay, maybe six or seven...

I won't list them in chronological order. My brain doesn't work that way.

Guns n Roses
Billy Joel - twice (once it was him and Elton John)
New Kids on the block - yes really! Tiffany opened for them
Poison! Again Yes really!
ummm Jefferson Starship (after the airplane turned into a starship?)
Triumph - I think they were along with Jefferson Starship
Madonna
Robert Plant (and whatever group was backing him up at the time)

Okay, so it was eight.

The two concerts that I didn't get to see, which I might have traded for all the ones I did see?

Van Halen - I was fourteen and my mother thought I was too young to go to a concert, I guess she was right.

Prince and the Revolution - I was on a highschool trip to Europe - One friend actually chose not to go on that trip and probably lost a big deposit just to go to that concert. I knew better than to even THINK about doing that.

for me I've only been to a few concerts

1.kiss
2.ac/dc
3.eminem
4.britney spears (niece dragged me there)
5.madonna

My first concert was Deep Purple with Aerosmith as the opening band. It was in 1972 or 1973.
Probably the best concert I've ever gone to was Cat Stevens in 1976 for his Majicat Tour. The backdrop for the concert was cartoon artwork which he had done himself.
The second best was Foreigner with the giant jukebox. The opening act was Gary Wright who did Dreamweaver. This concert was either in 1976 or 77.
Rounding out the top 5, but in no particular order are: The Beach Boys, The Allman Brothers, Peter Frampton. This last one was in the late 80's and since it was an outdoor concert I brought my son. We got there very early so were able to get a spot right in front of the stage. At the end of the concert, Frampton gave my son his guitar pick (which he still has).

the first concert I can remember going to was when I was about 10 and to me it was all very sureal. It was a June and Johnny Cash concert and turned out that many country/western stars showed up. There was also Buck Owens and Roy Clark there amongst many others, it was like heehaw.

in my teens I saw VanHalen and Phil Collins and I can not recall who else. My brother saw Boston. I was supposed to go to the Police but I think I got grounded, I know I was disappointed.

I went to a lot of concerts, but I don't necessarily remember them well because I was either too drunk or too stoned. LOL. One in particular stands out in my mind and that was the Monsters of Rock. Couldn't tell you the year, late 70's I think. It was AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith and I think there was a fourth band but as I said I don't remember it well. I saw Aerosmith again about 10 years ago and they were much more polished than when I saw them initially. Queen was one of the first shows I saw,so not having seen much I was very impressed. Kansas was good, the lead singer never stopped moving for a second. I still don't know how he didn't suffer a stroke and Yes with the aide of hallucinogenics deserves a mention also. (Hey,I was young.) LOL. More recently, I saw Live and Collective Soul at the Arizona State Fair and was extremely dissapointed. Either I'm getting old or they just didn't give a rats behind. Particularly Collective Soul. Too bad because they are both great bands.

i went to so many concerts i lost track and now i do not even like going anymore. i do not know the dates but i saw jackson browne back in the late 70's and he was great, the outlaws in the 70's when they were in their hayday, ian hunter did a great show in asbury park years ago, steve forbert also did great shows in asbury park and the last but not least the WHO where i had 2nd row center seats. if i listed all the rest i would be here for awhile and i am not sure my mind is even that sharp anymore where i could remember them all!

The five concerts which happened in Bangalore which I have ever seen
1.Bryan Admes,
2.Metallica
3.deflepard
4.Enrique Iglesias

Cripes... I can't remember the years, but I'll tell you the artists. They're Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, The Drifters, and many many moons ago, Emile Ford and the Drifters and Brenda Lee. Mine were all well-controlled, indoor venues, so no problems like you had. The first two were at Brighton Centre, the third at Crawley, Hawth, and the latter two, at the Brighton Hippodrome. Van Morrison was fantastic... a very versatile and talented musician.

Brightest Blessings.
