Let's talk about some of the show's we've seen.
My first concert was The Ramones when I was 15. That was 23 yrs ago (ugh) and I still have the shirt I got there, and the ticket stub. They came on stage about 45 minutes late, you could tell Joey was strung out on something, he steadied himself with the mic stand, and never moved throughout the whole show, lol. It was a small venue so we got up very close. It was a good first show 
Last concert I saw was GWAR. I took my little brother along as a birthday gift. Im glad I got to see them before Oderus died, and I still can't belive that. The mosh pit was insane, and for a long time once I was too tired to continue I'd try to get out and the ppl at the border would bounce me back in lol.
Best part of the show? Slymenstra Hymen took off her outer shirt, threw it to the crowd, and I got it! Still have it, and it's stained a pinkish color from all the fake blood we all got soaked with. GWAR was definitelty a unique experience
BEST concert experience ever was Lollapalooza in 93 or 94 (cant remember, lol.) The lineup had Rage Against the Machine, Front 242 (sadly they suck live,) Babes in Toyland, Alice in Chains, Primus, and Tool. Tool was on the small 2nd stage, so like the Ramones show, I got really close. Like I almost could untie Maynard's shoes, lol.
Ive seen lots of local shows with local bands. Ilive near theUniversity of TN campus, and actually used to live on campus. Lots of good talent that'll never makeit big vov
Tell us about your concert experiences!!

I don't remember the bands, was in a more than moderately altered state at the time, at the theatre on Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune shortly after I rotated back from a tour overseas in 76. I remember seeing the music coming out of the stacks...so that should give you some indication of the state I was in. :)
Best? Yeah that one I'll never forget, a concert for the ages. Kansas, the concert that created the bootleg album "Monolith in the Storm", July '79 at Alpine Valley, in a colossal thunderstorm. Out on the grass, soaked to the bone, properly buzzed with good friends; the band's music counterpointed by raging thunder and their laser show upstaged by volley after volley of lightning. There will never be another show like it.
Most recent, Blue Rodeo last year in Victoria BC, on Vancouver Island. Good solid show, tight band...as always.
Wow best one so far. Lollapalooza was pretty epic for me, but that Kansas show, man I bet that was an experience.
Carry on, my wayward son

I appreciate everyone's input, even if I personally may not like their chosen genres. I'm more interested in the experience, the feelings, etc.
So, I thought of a concert that surprised me. My mother is a big Elton John fan, so when he came to Knoxville I bought a couple of tickets so I could take her. Now, I do like that old song of his "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," but thats as far as Elton and I go. That said, I actually really enjoyed the show! He is without a doubt one of the best showmen Ive seen. Man he's like a ball of lightening bouncing all over the stage, bouncing, jumping on, standing on his piano bench, etc. I was really impressed.

Ha! Another good one Zimm, thank you!
Also, at this moment in time, I feel compelled to remind everyone that Mr. Ronnie James Dio is the True King of Rock and Roll!

And that I am in fact just now listening to Iron Maiden's Killers LP on vinyl? You youngsters will never understand, but every scratch and crackle is awesome and adds to the listening experience. 
OK, this has gone on long enough. It has to be asked.... do you have a sister?

A lawyer, eh? Well if it ever goes south, at least we know who's getting the house

So many good memories when I look back now, mostly from 90s and 2000s as that was my teenage & 20s.
Yeah, me too. Born in the 70's, raised in the 80's, came of age in the 90's, traveled the country in the 2000's.
Good times.
As Tom Petty says, "well the good old days may not return..." but it's ok. Life goes on and is what we make of it.
