Best concert you've been to?

sidewinder · 05-11-2009, 07:27 PM

I enjoyed the Engine Room the few times I went. Verizon Theatre was ok but obviously a corporate venue...too clean but the sound and size are good. Let's see...Fitzgerald's was fun back in the day...though I was always scared to go on the balcony for fear of a collapse.

Many other nice small venues have come and gone. Many options that's for sure.

Too many to list... Pink Floyd 1986 Maybe? There was one STP concert that sticks out (1994-1995) but that story is too long to go into. Also Dream Theater did a really great show once too for Scenes from a Memory (I've seen them 7 times) and Joe Satriani is consistently good seen him about 12 times. Also Aerosmith, Gun & Roses, Deep Purple in 1988 was lots of fun but not really for the music

I live out on the middle of the dang prairie so there are pretty much no concert venues around here. The closest is Kansas City but thats a good 250 miles away.
With the very few concerts I have managed to go to, I would have to say Willie Nelson and Family was one hell of a great concert. Almost all original members.

Willie pointed at me, I know he did.

Went to Mushroomhead's old school show last night/this morning. It was fricking amazing.

The best gig I've ever been to was the one I went to on Saturday.

if musicals count, then the broadway performance of Phantom of the opera.
if not, then the Charlotte symphony playing Led Zepplin

I would have to agree with you jkloring--saw it in High School and it blew me away, that and Les Miserables, but Phantom takes top honors.

As far as bands go, I vote for Brett Dennen, and that's saying a lot because there were no effects other than lighting--the guy just has PRESENCE.

A COLDPLAY [Coldplay] concert I was most fortunate enough to attend. In Philadelphia, I believe? Only a few weeks ago.

Yessss. The paper butterflies falling and congregating in the frosty night air. [It was magic at its finest]

Nothing like it. Not even a chia pet could have provided me with such entertainment. :]
