Let's hear it.
Base your story off of how outrageous it was. How the performance was. If the mosh put was good if it had one. And how memorable it was. Any sort of concert is valid.

Mine:

The greatest concert I've ever been was the Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert. It was incredible. Not only did they sound good I actually ****ing got the flea's pick by laying my body on top of it, and in the very end of the show they stripped down to no clothes except for tube socks on their ****s and played By The Way. It's not that good, I know but I'm only thirteen.

The Glorious David Bowie!

in 2004 is went to see Bowie, dressed in a suit as late 80's Bowie. (I figured there'd be enough Ziggy and Aladdin Sane outfits there, and I was right) I had just turned 23 a month earlier so I was definately in the younger demographic. The show went for 3 hours, 3 magnificent hours. I knew the words to every song, and I, like everybody else, stood the entire time in complete awe. I've got the Reality Tour Dvd and the start of it is exactly the same as the one I went to. I get excited everytime I put it on. (Spaceboy was better at my concert though, even more brilliant)
The same night, my girlfriend went to see Ani Difranco as I hadn't managed to convert her into a Bowie fan yet. Her show started after mine, and finished before. Haha. She's kicking herself now, she might've missed her only chance of seeing Bowie.

For the youtube button to work, you have to only put the code part thing in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAge0rqezH4 The bolded part. So it would look like this

Anyway mine was seeing the Blood Brothers just before Crimes came out, they played mainly stuff from Burn Piano Island Burn and it was a small venue it was just crazy and the most energetic show i've been to.

Definitely Herbie Hancock.

I saw him live with Lionel Loueke on guitar, Nathan East on bass and Colaiuta on drums. Colaiuta practically made me cream myself - everything about him was perfect. He had the perfect fills and grooves, and he didn't overplay. Hancock pulled out his keytar and duelled with East and Loueke. Loueke did this cool solo act which involved some African vocal work (the cool clicking noises). A great setlist too - a mixture of jazz, funk jazz, ambient tracks and covers.

I saw a Slayer tribute band in a dingy pub. They were crap but it was surreal watching a thrash metal band with a bubble machine.


Well ... I say I saw them , what I actually meant was I spent 10 minutes avoiding the awful racket coming out of their amps before moving on to another pub.

The greatest concert has never existed-1978 Motórhead/AC.DC/The Ramones

Quite possibly my ultimate line up.

When Tera Melos, Portugal. The Man, and The Fall of Troy did a tour together. That would be amazing. I haven't been to many concerts, but seeing Roger Waters at GM Place in June was surreal. He sounded amazing, and there was just tons of energy. Great show.

Oh man, terrible concert tales time:

I'd been excited for the Tera Melos/Portugal. The Man/The Fall of Troy tour for a while, and on the night of the even my printer wasn't working (I had those Ticketmaster printout ones). So I call the friend I was going with and ask her to print out the tickets for me, no problem, right? So I go have dinner before I head over to the show, and in the middle of it my friend calls me and tells me that another friend of ours (one who I didn't particularly like) also wanted to go, but couldn't get a ticket because the show was sold out. She also said that there would be a small amount of tickets at the door, and wanted to know if they should try and buy one. So I wasn't really thinking about it and basically told her to try if she wanted to, but that they probably wouldn't be able to get a ticket.

So of course they get there and they couldn't get a ticket for friend #3 (a friend, I might add, who didn't even like the bands that were playing, and just wanted something to do on a Saturday night), but at this point I wasn't at the venue and THEY HAD MY TICKETS. So they call me back and friend 3 pretty much begged me to let her have my ticket and she promised to pay me back. Of course I was pissed, but they were already there when they show was about to start and there was really nothing I could do. So they went, and afterwards had the nerve to tell me that they didn't even ****ing enjoy it.

And to make matters worse, that bitch never paid me back. AND, this is the WORST PART OF THE ENTIRE ****ING STORY. Another friend of mine said she might be going with a friend of hers because it was his birthday. So she got all the way to the venue before she decided she wasn't going to go (she had told me earlier on in the day that she wasn't going to go, but apparently changed her mind again), and so her friend had to sell the extra ticket. The next day I asked my "friends" (who I don't even talk to anymore if anyone was wondering) if they were sure that no one was selling tickets out front, and they said that there was one guy that they had noticed, and I asked them what he looked like, and they described the ****ing guy perfectly. I was so angry at them I basically ended our friendship (things like this had happened before, they were just plain ****ty friends).
