What was the best concert you have ever seen?

[lovemachine]

Hmm. I feel out of place now.

I have 3 favorites.

Toby Keith at Verizon.
George Strait at Conseco.
Dierks Bentley at IU.

What can I say. I'm a Country Boy

I went to an AC/DC concert at MSA but can't remember which tour it was. I've seen Aerosmith there two or three times as well.

I've never been to a Tool concert. The only way I'll go is if it's in another city because I would most likely lose my mind and I don't need my coworkers witnessing it if they're working the concert. I can't even listen to them in my patrol car for fear of someone seeing me and calling in a complaint or God forbid filming me and putting it on Youtube.

Bunch of others over three days I don't remember

Been there, done that my friend.

Seen Disturbed 3 times, would have to say that's been my favorite. Had a chance to see Collective Soul a couple years back, and that was awesome as well.

Collective Soul put on a really good free concert downtown indy about 17? years ago on the 4th of July. The next year was Lenny Kravitz, also really good. I miss those free shows

I haven't been to a lot but Rob Zombie puts on an awesome show. Last summer at Verizon it was John5's birthday and his solo was amazing.

 

[zombiehunter]

my best would be at Verizon Wireless....Def Leppard, Poison, and Cheap Trick! By the end of the concert, I had NO voice!

I worked at the little nashville opry in brown county in the early and mid '80s. I saw some really good shows but the most memorable were the ones where I met the musicians. Johnny Cash, Mickey Gilley, Janie Frickie, Ronnie Milsap....When I shook JCs hand I recall thinking "this guy is a fricking GIANT", I was just a kid and Johnny was a big man.

The Rolling Stones at the Hoosier Dome when I was home on leave in '89! If I remember right Living Colour opened the show. Before that I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers when they were a club band on the West coast.

When I was 13 Mom bought tickets for us (me and younger sister) to Bob Seger and Molly Hatchet. The concert was at Market Square Arena, seats were in 7th row right in front. I thought it was gonna suck, my sister was 11, but Molly Hatchet was great and Seger was better!

Speaking of John 5, Marilyn Manson puts on a good show.

(So did White Zombie and so does Rob Zombie)

Molly Hatchet , Outlaws ******,,Johnny Cougar opening act Convention Center about 1980

 

[Gabriel]

Easily the best show I've seen was Cop Shoot Cop at the Double Door in 1994.

 

[Colt556]

Got to add Mellencamp/FarmAid in Louisville sometime in the 90's. Have seen Dylan numerous times. U2 in 87 or 88'. The very 1st concert I went to was in the original Convention Center in Indy. It was "festival seating" and cost something like $9.95! There was a cloud of THC hanging in the air. Saw REO Speedwagon, Quicksilver messenger service and a few more band I can't remember. People were drinkinin Boones Farm while sitting on their blankets spread on the floor. Got my 1st real kiss that night. Man some good memories.....

 

[1911 mike]

Jethro Tull 1971 ACC in South Bend

 

[PatriotPride]

Thrice and Brand New at the Congress Theater (IIRC) a few years back. Good times.

 

[FordMan08]

Any of the 12-15 Hank Williams Jr. Concerts or the time I saw Waylon in Kentucky.

 

[Fletch]

I was dragged to see Rush during the Presto tour. I became an instant fan, and have seen them 2 or 3 more times since.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

George Clinton @ IU mid 90's. It was really something.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

Rush - Signals Tour 1983 Buffalo
Pink Floyd - Toronto circa 1988
Greatful Dead, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan - Rich Stadium circa 1986
Bridge School Benefit (Neil Young, Dave Matthews, Metalica, Atlantis Morrisette, Smashing Pumpkins, Lou Reed, etc) 1997 San Jose
Lyle Lovett - Salt Lake City 2003

Many others - but those were stand outs.

Almost forgot another stand out = David Bowie, Niagara Falls convention center 1990
