Hey all, I have this week seen two of my favorite bands live in concert for the first time. I thought it would make a good thread for us to talk about "Your favorite rock concert".

This week I saw KISS in all there glory (have loved kiss since I was 2yrs old) being the first time I have seen them I was blown away by the onstage presence they have. I also saw two days later another childhood favorite, Ozzy Osbourne which was just awesome to see him rocking!

I was front row at Paul Stanely last year and got to go back stage and get my photo taken with him and have a few things signed which again was just a dream come true!

Whats yours?

[ApolloOne]

I wish I could have seen them in their heyday, but the Queen + Paul Rodgers show I saw a couple of years ago was probably the best concert I've ever seen.

The Who in 1989 is right up there, too.

Hmm... I'm going to go with non-rock/rock:

LL COOL J - 1997
Dave Matthews 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002
Alice in Chains 1996
Prince - 1998 - I think he was just "symbol" then
Incubus 2003/2006 - by far the best peforming live band I've seen

Way too many to list them all but here's a few of my Favs:

Kiss's first reunion show, New Years Eve '95?

Metallica opening for Ozzy in '85?

Megadeth/ Sanctuary/ Warlock in '88?

Grateful Dead - too many times to list

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in '01

Jimmy Buffett - too many times to list

Dream Theater - 20th anniversary show in '07

Ace Frehley - 6 or 7 times in different clubs. All kick ass

Billy Joel & Elton John in '97?

Joe Satriani/ Steve Vai/ Kenny Wayne Sheppard in '97

Armoured Saint/ W.A.S.P./ Metallica - cant remember the year maybe '89?

Suicidal Tendencies/ Metallica in "03?

Limp Bizkit at one of the OzzFests I've been to

Black Sabbath at more than one of the OzzFests I've been to
