BEST experiences: Wow, hard to pick. I saw Ace Frehley several years ago in Toronto at a small venue and there was a special kind of energy that stands out in my mind, and I still remember the vibe to this day.
Recently, Greta Van Fleet rocked hard too at a similar type of venue in Toronto (I guess smaller venues with the right band have a certain feeling).
Getting to see Alive Cooper AND Black Sabbath with Dio was f---in awesome.
So many live shows that I enjoyed its hard to pick.
WORST experiences: Not so much for the show but I was at a KISS concert with some friends, and one friend got kicked out and preceded to text me and tell me all about how sh--y of a friend I was for not leaving with him (he was drunk, but still we're not friends anymore either way for other reasons).
Also, not so much a bad gig but a funny one was a local band I saw where the music was not so bad but the front man was just awful on the mic between songs. It actually became comical "Uh ya that was ______ song, ummm, so, wait, what was I gonna say? oh well, I think we're gonna do ______ song next... (Then one of his bandmates say something to him) Oh, I guess we're not doing that song, ok whatever..."
In terms of a band performing badly, I cant really think of an act where I was disappointed with the music performance itself, I saw Iron Maiden from lawn seats once, and I use the word "saw" lightly as I couldn't see sh-- from behind a huge crowd super far away, that kinda sucks but that's what you get for cheap tickets and its not the bands fault.
Going to see Robert Plant recently was also kind of funny as everytime he performed a Zeppelin tune, the entire audience would stand up, as soon as he started performing one of his newer songs, the entire audience would sit down, like clockwork.
