If it's crap... We'll tell you

Best concert you've ever been to

Who's the best live performer you've ever seen?

For me it was a Tool concert. I was less than 10 feet from the stage. In all fairness let's just say I wasn't really in a perfectly sober state of mind but I've never had such a sensory overload combined with such satisfyingly entertaining music.

I'm not asking for your opinion of Tool, I'd like to know if you've been to a concert that stood out the way this one did for me? I've been to other good concerts but it's no contests in my mind which was my favorite.

I also got a free poster, wristband, the bands personalized rolling papers (all thrown out to the crowd) They played a great set great songs i was even under one of the singers when he stage dived. They finished the show with a duo performance with Pepper of one of their new songs. I to was not in a complete sober mind set but memories of this concert will forever keep blowing my mind.; ▶ Reply to This

Crowd participation, Sound, and Set were all flawless.

My second almost equally as good was Elton John and Billy Joel for the same reasons.; ▶ Reply to This
