Best Concert/Show Experience?

[Rock-o]

"Best" is so unfair. Here is a list of great experiences off the top of my head. Quite a few are missing.

Chuck Mangione - jazz trumpet player
Scorpions - 2 times
The Black Crowes
Boston - 2 times
Rush - 2(?) times
Black Sabbath - many times
Motorhead - opened for Black Sabbath on Tony Iommi's b-day
Danzig - opened for Black Sabbath - they impressed me live
Pantera
Uriah Heep
Grateful Dead - 6 times
Dead and Company - 2 times, 3 would have been this summer but it was Corona-cancelled
Widespread Panic
Lynyrd Skynyrd - ZZ Top opened (or vice versa)
Jimmy Buffett
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker - but no Eric Clapton so it wasn't Cream
Prince
The Cult

One of my favorites was muse at moda center in Portland a few years ago. Incubus was great. Tool was awesome. Jack Johnson is usually good live. Dave Mathew's was good even not being a huge fan. Widespread panic was great.
First show ever was disturbed with chevelle as the opener before they got big, amazing show.

Worst I've ever heard and seen is Keller Williams, terrible.

Chris Ledoux for sure. Garth Brooks show was awesome, but Chris Ledoux's concert was incredible......and he'd do them for damn near free.

it looks like a game but that's not a game if you are in this game that a piece of really bad news for you because there are you need a professional kit like a dress, shoes, and glows or something important more than that it's knowledge and experience.

Two shows at the Gorge come to mind.
First of all im not exactly a Daver, but The Dave Mathews Band was absolutely fantastic! Brandi Carlile opened for them and killed it.
Also Foo Fighters at the Gorge was epic. We've seen then multiple times and every time they shred!

Chris Ledoux at Cheyenne is one of my earliest music memories. All the cope cans getting thrown on stage when they started up Copenhagen.

Lastly the Shook Twins at a little stage here in town. Felt like I was on an acid trip for there entire set, light show and there voices combined was quite the experience! Lol

The Gorge Amphitheatre is really a great experience. Saw DMB and Radiohead there in the early 00's. Great times.

I saw Macklemore perform live in a tiny bar in chapel hill before he exploded with the heist album in 2012. My roommate and I were front row, and he was fantastic, he gave my roommate the set list after the show.

Bon Jovi when they were opening for Ratt - Ratt sucked live
BB King
Anthony Gomes Band was very good live

Saw Cody Jinks play a small Sacramento bar a couple years ago, Paul Cauthen and Ward Davis opened. I sat third row at Merle Haggard’s second to last show before he passed, he played for almost two hours hooked up to an oxygen tank. Seen Aaron Lewis a few times and he never disappoints.

We had just got back home for summer break, that night made a last minute decision to catch Stevie Ray Vaughan. I will never forget that night

Couple friends from college were at his last show at Alpine Valley before his chopper went down. Tragic loss.

Nazareth, Firehouse, and Jackyl, all at outdoor venues.

Tyler Childers with Town Mountain and Robert Earl Keen at red rocks in the 4th row, that will probably be the best show i'll ever see... it was incredible
