I've been to so many 'favorites' that it's hard to pick just one....I would have to say my all time favorite concert of all time was seeing Metallica in '90. My first concert was AC/DC in '88.
Due to all the candy I ate back then, all the concerts i have been, are pretty much blurred all together...a lot of local bands played in and out of town and I went to most of those shows because I dated the basist in one...and later the drummer of another band that played with them.
Local bands are the best to go see...the clubs are small and the energy is crazy!

You saw AC/DC?

That's my favorite band and I've never had the chance to see them in concert.

Reo Speedwagon in 1984.
John Mellencamp around 1995.

Oh yeah! my boyfriend and I were on the floor left of the stage right in front of the PA system...it was nutz...at one point I got on his shoulders so I was almost up close and personal. By the time it was over, I was drenched in sweat..being right in front of the PA system, my ears rung for days after that!
The one concert I have wanted to see BADLY and haven't seen is Ozzy. Even at my nearly 40 year old self I still would like to see him live.

My dad got me hooked on Black Sabbath when I was a teen...I loved comparing the Ozzy then, and the Ozzy when he fronted Black Sabbath.

[Synthaholic]

I would never give you shit about Sheena Easton. She had an awesome voice and was so hot.

ETA:

Sheena Easton is the only artist in the history of the US Billboard charts to have a top 3 hit on each of the Billboards key charts consecutively: Adult Contemporary, Dance, Pop, Country, and R&B.

I'd like to come inside her sugarwalls!

That Prince is so subtle, isn't he?

 

[Pop23]

Of all the concerts I've seen, no one does it better than The Boss!

Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land (Live In Phoenix '78) [The Promise] - 1080p HD! - YouTube

Saw him, was anything but impressed, but he might have had an off night. No energy at all

I saw Heart on the Passionworks tour, which wasn't a great album but was the first with drummer Denny Carmassi, who kicks ass. He was the drummer for Montrose and Sammy Hagar, among others. Does a lot of rock session work, too.

I forgot all about Montrose!

God I love this forum!

 

[Synthaholic]

I think I started a Montrose thread . . .


Yup: http://www.usmessageboard.com/music/192531-montrose.html


Ronnie Montrose recently died.

 

[Mr. H.]

I'll have to dig up my stubs (saved most every single one over the last 40 years), but by far my favorite was Yes in 1972.

I'll be back with the rest...

What! Oh I can't believe this! What are you? Some kind of terrorist sympathizer....

...um.....what thread is this?

Sorry, my bad!

I thought I was in one of the political threads...
