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...

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.

i think I've had several concert experiences

I saw Muse sometime last week. The concert was amazing. Not necessarily the band, but the pit was great. The crowd was amazing. The dancing was amazing.

I saw Kittie a few years ago and the number of clothes in the air was amazing. And they seeme dto feed of fthe crowd's energy

Thrice. Every Thrice concert I've ever been to rocked. The best concert was when a bunch of chicks started dancing and started taking off their clothes as well. That was nice.

The Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl is an amazing performer as well as a musician.

Sparta's pretty good live. I love them as well as Alient Ant farm.

A Perfect Circle and Tool are two of my favorite bands to see live. There are few bands that I know of that can put out energy the way they do. The only band I'd probably rank higher than them is Julianna theory.

I also love NSync. The dancing, the music, the noise, the pandemonium. It's like a dream come true to see a bunch of hot guys on a stage and a bunch of hot chicks dancing.

Worst concert has gotta be any one of the Dave Matthews Band concerts I've been to. I usually spend my time drinking or leave early. I don't know why I bother.

And that's about it. There are a few other bands that give great concerts:
Incubus
Linkin park (pre Chester's many illnesses)
Radiohead
Eminem
Afro - Man
The Goo Goo Dolls
Amour for Sleep

bands/Musicians that give crappy performances:
Jack Johnson
