Your favorite Concerts/Shows you've been to.

[BadKarma]

In a top 5 rank it would have to go:

1: Slipknot (best live show ever, incredible)
2: Blink 182 (the most fun I've ever had)
3: Iron Maiden (all 14 times I've seen them they've been amazing)
4: I Set My Friend On Fire
5: Dragonforce (small venue, great sound, even better guitar playing)

[Qalbert]

I've only been to a couple concerts, which is sad I know, but saw Shinedown which was awesome, and Gogol Bordello which was crazy.

[Pooky]

Some of my favorites:

Daft Punk (2006 Alive Tour @ Coachella)
Justice
Mastodon (Backstage at Coachella '09)
Band of Horses
Pinback

[Pisu]

I soo wanna see Daft Punk live, but they've never been to Finland Maybe some day...

Listing the concerts in order would be difficult so here's my five in random, chronological order:

AC/DC (2009)
Lynyrd Skynyrd (2009)
Santana (2008 )
Nick Cave (2006)
Depeche Mode (2006)

Depeche Mode was the first band I saw live in 2006, but I've been to maaany concerts after that so it's kinda hard to remember them all. Other live shows I enjoyed very much were Kraftverk (2009), The Rolling Stones (2007), The Roots (2007) and Jethro Tull (2007). I think that covers most of the best ones. Looking forward to seeing Depeche Mode again when they're coming to Finland again next february.

Edit: Hmm. Appearantly we weren't limited to five concerts, buut I listed the best ones anyway so no matter.

[Korietsu]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra in the Frank Erwin center. 3 and half hours of excellent orchestra and metal.

[Amarok]

Two favorite shows I've been to would be Agalloch and Akercocke. Both in Phoenix, AZ.

[Bipolargod]

acacia strain
kse/hatebreed headlining(i have scars :D)
erm...squash the beef tour, dance gavin dance, emarosa, of mice and men etc.

[Vandole]

the mars volta & NiN at Voodoo last year, best day of my life

[EternityEnd]

The Mars Volta do put on an amazing concert.

[Lahan]

Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

If you have never been to one of their shows try and go to one sometime.

[Sepukku]

In a top 5 rank it would have to go:

1: Slipknot (best live show ever, incredible)
2: Blink 182 (the most fun I've ever had)
3: Iron Maiden (all 14 times I've seen them they've been amazing)
4: I Set My Friend On Fire
5: Dragonforce (small venue, great sound, even better guitar playing)

You have such awful music taste. Other than Blink 182, the only half-decent band on there, just ugh.

Try this:
1. Alkaline Trio / Gaslight Anthem / Thrice / Rise Against (Cleveland, October 2008 )
2. Alkaline Trio / Bayside (Pittsburgh, June 2008 )
3. Alkaline Trio / Saves the Day (Pittsburgh, April 2009)
4. Gaslight Anthem (Pittsburgh, September 2009)
5. Gaslight Anthem (Pittsburgh, March 2009)

Honorable mention (in no particular order):
1. Coheed and Cambria / Dredg / Mewithoutyou / Blood Brothers (Pittsburgh, April 2005)
2. Warped Tour (Take your pick)
3. All Time Low / The Maine / Every Avenue / Mayday Parade (Pittsburgh, October 2008 )
4. The Loved Ones (Take your pick)

No one does a show like Alk3 or Gaslight Anthem and nothing can ever come close to those two having a show together.

Coheed and Cambria (The Neverender tour, all four nights, in NYC)
Explosions in the Sky (in Chicago, holy fucking shit they absolutely own live.)

I would love to see Brand New but they always cost too much and sell out practically immediately. Not to mention they skip my town every other tour.

Yanni !

I'm not even sure if we did, but there were a fuck ton running around. There were some chicks running around as naked zombies and it was great.
