Saw that tour in Tampa, Good show. But there was nothing like seeing Sepultura on their debut tour when they took the USA by storm

The CARS at the old boston garden, heartbreak city tour.

They broke up after the tour. I had floor seats row 10 from the stage.

The loader concert I ever went to was Deep Purple at the Worcester centrum in the mid 80’s.
My ears rang for a week after that night.

Cool one of my very first concerts was the Cars "Shake it Up" tour at the Boston Garden, my older brother took me since he turned me on to them. Ben Orr had a house in my town Scituate, he actually dated my friends mother for awhile.

Metallica last year in Miami. Absolutely outstanding.

Black Sabbath in Denver.

2010, Dublin, Guns N' Roses

I got to see them when Ozzy fronted the band back around 1972

Metallica / Metal Church Agora ballroom 1986

Hmm would have to be a three way tie between Iced Earth with Tim Owens, Trivium, and Machinehead.

Hands down has to be my favorite band In Flames last year at the Belasco Theater in LA. It was a relatively small indoor venue which amplified the sound that much more. Andrés and Jesper were actively involved with the crowd signing autographs and letting girls on stage while performing. Great night.

AC/DC Hell's Bell's tour sometime around 79-80, I can't remember. Dennis DeYoung from Sticks is still touring with his own band and puts on a helluva good show. I saw him just a few years ago. And I have to mention Bob Seger and Kid Rock a couple of years ago...fantastic!

I saw GNR last year in Hershey PA. I've been to a lot of concerts and so far that was my favorite.

Creed in 1997 before they made it big. I saw them again a couple years later and it sucked. Godsmack was probably the best. I am not a big fan, but I went with a friend. They were impressive live.

Only been to a handful of concerts but the best one for me was Boston in 1980.

Have been to so many can't count but tops was The Who Quadrophenia tour in 1974 when Keith Moon was alive. A close second was Deep Purple in 1975. My first was Grand Funk Railroad in 1969. I am old....lol.

Would have loved to have seen The Who back then in their hey day.

Shinedown back in 2008 or 2009 can't remember now. It was at a place called the Chance in Poughkeepsie NY. It's a great small venue. I had won backstage passes and meet and greets from the local radio station. I brought my wife we got to hang out with the band for hours before the show. Got to watch the band rehearse and got autographs/photos.

2 - Pink Floyd Animals and The Wall tours.

I think NIN really was Trent Reznor. The road band was just, the road band.

True, but their road band has/had some of the best musicians in the business, e.g. John Freese:

Rock am Ring 84, great 2 day event.

Been to 100s of shows, really can't pick just one for a favorite.
Tool at the Orpheum Theater in Boston is right up there though.
