Best Show Ever (fan, Atmosphere, The Ramones, Spice Girls, concerts)

I'm curious to know how many of you go to concerts to see bands you like and see how you felt about them after the show.
Also to find out what your best concert and worst concert experiences were. (If any)

Best concert (or one of them) for me was the time i saw Thrice live. I was in the pit and all of a sudden under garments are flying every where.

i've been going to concerts for over 15 years so it's hard to pick the best/worst. That said, by far the best recently (last few years) was Arcade Fire. Abosolutely blinding and recommend them to anyone!

Biggest let down recently was New Order at Glastonbury last year... bored me to tears...

foo fighters at hyde park, not a big fan of the foos but the atmosphere was incredible and i got to see QOTSA which has always been a dream for me. plus crowd surfing over 85,000 people is bretty amazing!

My favorite was Mistys Big Adventure at LC-Paradiso.

Funny, amusing, and great music!

After that a show of the Kooks, but it wasn't necessarily the music, it was because I was there with a guy I really really reallyyy liked. ^^

Marc Almond in London around 1989. Mother Fist and her five Daughters.

coud have been a little later than 1989. I'm a bit blury, I was drunk a lot.

The Ramones and Teenage Head

I have also been to some really good SNFU and Forgotten Rebels shows, they are Canadian bands so I really don't expect anyone to know who they are.

My favorites would be Dresden Dolls/DeVotchKa/Faun Fables in october 2005 at Saint Andrews(small venue), Lynyrd Skynyrd/38 Special december 2005 at The Palace of Auburn Hills(enormous venue), and Ozzfest 2006 at DTE Ampitheatre.

Least favorite was Reba in like 1997 at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Atmosphere sucked.
