In honor of my first concert, Pink Floyd at RIce Stadium, what other shows have you guys seen that blew you away? I have several: Radiohead-Madison Square Garden Radiohead- Liberty State Park Beastie Boys- THe Alamodome Page & Plant- The Alamodome Page & Plant- The Summit Rage Against The Machine- MTV Studios Rage Against The Machine- Sunken Gardens, San Antonio Rage Against The Machine & The Roots- Southpark Meadows Phish-Southpark Meadows Beck- Liberty Lunch Janes Addiction- Somewhere in Dallas Pink Floyd- Rice Stadium these are all the ones that my brain cells can remember right now, definitely the greatest of my days.
Really some of the best concert I've been to were not ones I expected to really blow me away. I was so wrong. The Who - Madison Square Garden The Stones - The Astrodome Eric Clapton - The Summit Jerry Jeff Walker, Merle Haggard, and Willie Nelson at Tramps in Manhattan (not at the same time). Lyle Lovett - Central Park, NYC James Brown - Central Park, NYC Cirque de Solei - Battery Park, NYC (not music but a MUST SEE). Elvis in Vegas (I wish)
1984-MOTLEY CRUE-McALLEN TEXAS-VILLAREAL CONVENTION CENTER. I was so close to the stage I could see the blue in Nikki Sixx' eyes. And I also "Shouted at the Devil"! 2000-DJ Spooky-The Waxx-Houston, Tx. WOW! One guy, a turntable, some effects, a stand up bass and some cRAaaSzZY sounds!!!!! Truly, truly amazing to see this guy LIVE!

Well Wednesday night I saw the funnest dam play I've ever seen on broadway. (Hey! Its a "live show". But that's for another thread) Let's see off the top of my head... Bob Dylan/Tom Petty - Southern Star 1989 John Prine - Rockafellers 1987 Jane's Addiction - MSG 2001
My best experiences have always been at cheap intimate shows... with a cost from $5-7. And I've seen most all of my favorite bands, but I'd have to say that right now my favorite would be: Dinosaur jr./My Bloody Valentine @ the Masquerade in Atlanta, ~1992. okay, okay I'll include one more... just b/c of the sheer horror that befell me late one summer in NC: Ministry, Charlotte, 1992?. I don't think I've ever been so violated in my life. Ministry ****ing rocked. I actually think most of their cds suck... but in person? Oh mY.
-Radiohead - Aerial Theatre -Marshall Allen (ex-saxophone player of Sun Ra Arkestra) along with Luqman Ali and two other guys at the MECA Auditorium. I hate concerts in sports arenas. The sound is too muddy, the bass is inaudible (probably because every sound engineer in the world seems to be having a contest over who can make the ****ing bass drum the loudest) and you're usually too far away to actually see the musicians.
Metallica - Load tour, Summit Page and Plant - Walking into Clarksdale tour, Summit (I think) Megadeth - Cryptic Writings tour, International Ball Room
