Red Hot Chili Peppers at Deer Creek

You're fine. I've seen them twice and they are great.

oh not sheltered cause of MG...cause I haven't been to many concerts yet.. my ex Mother in Law, ex Sister in Law and her mother went with me...I think just because it was a free concert and I was driving them. They kept looking at me funny cause I actually knew what song was coming based on the opening music...

 

[Whosyer]

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

Green Grass and High Tides was like 38 minutes or so. I was thinking it was more like 1978? Another memorable one was Triumph / Johnny Winter. Eve of the 500, Market Square. 1979 or 1980.

 

[hickuleas]

Lynard Skynard and the Outlaws 1976.

Wow, this is hard. Best concert I have seen??? I am a concert whore! Been to at least 50 concerts in last 13 years and have seen some great ones.
Metallica and Soundgarden rocked
Godsmack 4 times so far and will be seeing them for the 5th time this summer
Rob Zombie seen him 4 times
Ozzy twice and Black Sabath once
Skynyrd and Kid Rock was awesome
Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Slipknot, Coal Chamber, 5 Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Jackyl, Motley Crue, Slayer twice, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Pantera (RIP Dimebag), Anthrax, Mudvayne, Hell Yeah, Ted Nugent, Black Dhalia Murder, Job For a Cowboy, too many more to list. All of them rocked. Probably the best so far for me was Shadows Fall and Static X at Piere's a couple years ago. 5 feet from stage the whole time and just complete chaos. Crazy crowd, great show, LOUD, and some of the craziest pits ever!

Ready for my third Mayhem Fest this year Godsmack, Disturbed, and Megadeth!

As of right now, i would have to say the best show I have seen is Prong at the Mad Monk in Wilmington. Untill I get the chance to see Tool live...

See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me
Soften this old armor
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side
Step into the shadow
Forty six and two are just ahead of me​

I've seen them live 4 times and all of them were quite an experience...Maynard is quite the character(some would call it a God complex) and Carey is nothing short of amazing everytime I see him...Best drummer of all time IMO.

I've seen A Perfect Circle once somewhere in Indy(can't remember the place), but The Mars Volta opened for them and blew them off of the stage.

 

[Mike H]

Ted Nugent and Toby Keith Ford Super Duty Tour @ Terre haute.
Ted was awesome, he kicked Toby's azz. Toby was good though!

 

[wtfd661]

Lynyrd Skynyrd at Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. My sister is in the Army and her husband is retired Army and the Sgt. Major of the base and the Sgt. Major of the NCO Academy at the time were both great friends of theirs so we had all the free beer we could drink.

The concert that I was at that I was most impressed with the performance was Jonny Lang in Fort Wayne

 

[Scutter01]

July 15, 1994. I saw Pink Floyd at the Pontiac Silverdome. They played the entire Dark Side of the Moon album for the first time in 20 years.

 

[JetGirl]

I saw Journey in '86 in Jacksonville, FL ...right before I drove back to IN by myself at the ripe old age of 17.
My mother was not impressed with either of those occurrences.

But the best concert was probably the one I was pulled out of the front row and sung to... I didn't even want to go initially, but Mr.Jet was a fan. It was fun, incredibly entertaining, and I was glad I went ---Lee Greenwood.

 

[schafe]

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

You're not out of place.....Three memorable ones for me:
1)Chet Atkins @ Elliott hall of music in the 60's
2)Don Williams @ now burned down Little Nashville Oprey.
3)Emmy Lou Harris when Ricky Scaags was part of her "Hot Band"....That was a real twofer!! Like two shows going on at the same time.

 

[Goosepond Monster]

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

I saw Waylon at Lollapalooza in '96. It was kind of weird because he definitely didn't fit with the rest of the lineup.

 

[FordMan08]

Another great concert was Dallas Moore and the Snatch Wranglers opening for David Allan Coe.

 

[sclark]

Been to a lot of concerts but got to say the best one was Pantera in 92. The lead singer, Phil Anselmo, came off the stage to the floor and started a mosh pit right in front of me. Goodtimes!

 

[christman]

Journey and Foreigner.

 

[Steelworker]

Motley Crue on Friday the 13th, 1985 in Fort Wayne. Still have an autographed poster from that show.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Toss up.....

Kiss with Uriah Heap at wings stadium -or- Fleetwood Mac with Bachman Turner Overdrive at Morris Civic.
