Best Live Concert You Have Attended?

Which was your favorite concert you have ever attended?

I have attended quite a few concerts but hands down my favorite live performance was a band called Local H. They are a two man band with a ton of energy. A lot of bands have solid albums but sound disappointing live. Local H is one of the few bands who always sound better live.

There are a ton of other concerts that were fun and provided excellent memories, but Local H is my number one favorite live band.

Bon Jovi from the Slippery When Wet days. Jon owned the stage. Cinderella opened. Fantastic twin bill.

Bon Jovi and Cinderella at the same show; that would have been solid back in the day! I saw Cinderella about three years ago and they were still great!

Nice try Local H.

I know I am in the minority to state how Local H put on the best show I have been to. It would have been easier to convince people that other shows I went to were better; AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Violent Femmes, Korn, Stone Temple Pilots, Cinderella, Kix, BoDeans, Sheryl Crow, Guns N Roses, Third Eye Blind, Cold, Everclear, Disturbed, and so on. They were all great concerts but truly Local H was the best.

Umm... birthday present from my girlfriend (now ex-wife).

On my birthday in July 1994. Assorted bands, but I wanted to see the Allman Brothers.

I know they were so much better in the 70's, but it was great hearing them under the stars at an open-air amphitheater. And Blues Traveler and the Black Crows and others.

Feeder at a local festival nearly 5 years ago.

^_^ they were awesome!

Melt-Banana in 2002. Second time I saw them, first time seeing them with Dave Witte on drums, and first time they were opening with an early rough version of "Shield for Your Eyes, A Beast in the Well on Your Hand", which was to be their most common opening song for the next decade, but at the time was like: "WTF..... Ohhhhhhh!" (it has a very lite & groovy intro). And when I already thought I was watching the greatest thing that could ever be, they kicked it up a notch by playing an outrageous cover of My Generation.

Melt Banana would be great. On my list for sure.
