best concert you've ever been to

[Miles]

for me it would have to be the chimaira/machine head tour that rolled through orlando a while back... i'd never seen either band live before, and machine head puts on a great fucking show (which should be expected since they've been around since 1946), and chimaira... well, they're just plain super.

[Malevolent X]

I ssaw Tool up in Michigan and it was the best concert since NIN.

[POLLO]

Rage agains the machine I think in 1997, 1998 when they toured with Wutang.

[Mars_302]

The first time I finally got to see Morbid Angel back in 1998. Vader opened for them so that was awesome as fuck too. Great fucking show, and it was the first time I ever moshed.

ive been to a lot of shows though, I dont remember half of them

[juke]

I really enjoyed the Pixies this past year at the Sun-dome. Also when I was Mindless Self Indulgence in Montreal, that was a good show as well.

[Shawn]

At the old Frankies patio (i think, bc it was indoor which makes me think im wrong), there was an "underground wu tang" concert. tickets were cheap, unadvertised, and only a couple hundred people there TOPS.

first group out was killa army, and me and my buddy were thinking, well no WONDER. its gonna be this crap. dammit. then one by one they started coming out blowing the doors off the place. meth was like the last guy, my fav at the time, sitting on a speaker doin his thing like 10 ft from where we were. half way through "da rockwilder" theres a boom and redman comes from the smoke to finish with his verse too.

RZA hit a blunt from the crowd. Experience wise, that was probably the greatest show ive ever seen. i was like 17.

[terry.ho]

Back in 90 or 91 I saw Naughty by Nature, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Tim Dog, Son of Bezerk, Ghetto Boys, and Public Enemy. My friend and I were 17 and the only white kids in the crowd, but we had the best time. Everyone keep passing us blunts.

[SkwervE]

the Tom Petty concert at the ampitheater was the best one i have been too..expensive as hell tho..some drinks were $18+ and they were small..

[MitchMitchem]

Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle in Lakeland back in 2000.

Also Dredg, Taproot, and Mudvayne at the Masquerade gets a mention.

[ericmichael]

I really don't go to many shows or concerts but I would have to say when I saw Emery and From First to Last.

[RoadRacer]

Gypsy Kings at the House of Blues in Orlando or Henry Rollins, Cypress Hill and Beastie Boys at the fair grounds

[4dorteg]

Metallica

[Shawn]

i went to a Warped Tour in jax when i went to UF. We spiked thirstbusters with liquor and showed up trashed. Wandering around a place that big, drunk, seeing so many cool bands perform was awesome. I also saw some kid get beat the fuck down.

[Karma]

the only concert i've been to is DMX Method Man and Red Man

[Alli]

The type of music i listen to would have me trampeled at concerts.

However, Pop Disaster Tour on May 14, 2002 was an amazing concert. It was Blink 182, green day and jimmy eat world but my friends and i only went because we wanted to see Green Day.<33

[LeroyDriver]

I've been to several awesome concerts but my latest adventure was U2 @ Madison Square Garden. Below are some photos.
Got pit tickets for 311 in sept. thats gonna be awesome

[number_2]

in april i went to 98rock's bfd ("big fucking deal"). the exxies, breaking benjamin, papa roach and three doors down are four of my favorite bands anyway, but papa roach specifically was incredible.

[RoadRacer]

I have to say that U2 at MSG would have been a great show... I saw them in 87 at the carrier dome in upstate NY and again in Miami in 97 or 98... I can't remember the year.

[grlracr]

Beastie Boys in 1998 (Cleveland)

[StreetRacingOnline]

Pennywise in 2000 at the Janus landing.

[auxilium]

hmm...tough choice, been to a shitload of shows. Ozzfest in Tampa last year was good, Ministry put on a badass show when they played Masquerade 2 years ago; Skinny Puppy was awesome, one of the jager tours that rolled through had Hatebreed opening up for Slayer... fuckin sick. All of the death metal shows I check out never end up sour. The first Art of Noise tour was insane... Napalm Death, Strapping Young Lad, Nile, Dark Tranquility and someone else I can't remember.

[Mars_302]

The first time I ever saw Nile was I blown away by the guitars setup how it was setup with triggers and all kids of other jazz to create allthe monk chants and other things. very cool guys to interview too. I wish I could dig up an interview I did with em

[...mikey]

im going to sound so unindie.. but.. haha. when i was.. 14, i went to an MXPX concert.. man..that was the most fun ever. i hate them now, but that concert had so much energy..girls.. blah.

[Skittle]

Up In Smoke Tour>*

I was stoned.That is all.

[KatieBang]

Best show that I've been to so far was Walls of Jericho, Bury Your Dead, Full Blown Chaos and two other local bands.

There had never been so much more energy at one single show. It was at the Orpheum and for people who have been there, there are these rafters type things above the stage. People were climbing up the speakers and crawling along these rafters and stage diving into the crowd. The bands were beyond amazing and it was an overall fantastic show.

Eh, wasn't bad.

But, best show I've ever been to...

Dillinger Escape Plan in Orlando, hands down... ...I can't even describe what happened, but for those of you who know who they are and what their about; you understand.

Other than that....

Bloodlined Calligraphy at 688 Skatepark
Lamb of God at Ozzfest 04'
Tool in 99'

Clash of the Titans back i nthe early 90's. Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, and Alice in Chains. Fucking rocked.

["?"]

[Duceanahalf]

Genitorturers. Sinch

[Miles]

Genitorturers. Sinch

i saw them with crossbreed back in the day w/ bodyrollin'

that was... an interesting show, to put it lightly. never seen people being suspended by piercings at a show before or since.

[number_2]

uuugh, i remember chris describing that show to me in gory, disgusting detail. ugh.

[RickitySlick]

the 2004 Dave matthews concert was good

[Tits McGee]

Ferry Corsten this past June, or Dave Matthews Band when I saw them in Mobile back about 5 years.

[terry.ho]

Ferry Corsten this past June, or Dave Matthews Band when I saw them in Mobile back about 5 years.

Ferry Corsten at Amp is definitely at the top of my list.

[type-j-spec]

ultra 6

[DryKilledJackass]

Chimaira, God Forbid, 36 Crazyfists, and CALM all played this tiny bar in Bradenton a few years back and that show was beyond good.

[John]

NiN and David Bowie, Manassas VA in 94. A band called "Prick" opened for them, they kicked ass also

[DookieLuv!]

"Luke" in Miami....there is absolutely no explanation needed.

["?"]

I saw Prick back in 95 w/ Lords of Acid, yeah they kicked ass! sad to say they were better than Lords of Acid

[timaay]

MXPX at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Best Venue! :)

[xKAOSx]

GWAR!!!! enough said...

[...mikey]

#2 for MXPX.. at the Norva in norfolk VA.. I think I was 15

The Norva makes every crappy rock concert club in Tampa look like a dive.

[timaay]

I heard the Norva is a great venue. Alot of bands talk about such a good time it was playing there. I have never been.

[...mikey]

norva's an old timey movie theatre. the ones with one ENORMOUS theatre for one movie playing. it's awesome. a 2nd story also with where people jump down from

oddly enough virginia had a much better scene it seems like

[mrfli]

Busta Rhymes in Detroit

[s14 powered]

Coldplay at Hardrock in Orlando - 2002

or

Converge at the Palace in Gainesville (i think) - 2002. They were the head lining act at Gainesville Fest all the other bands were great, but Converge stole the show. I can't even begin to explain the madness that went on, but if you were there you know what I am talking about.

[timaay]

The Tabernacle was an old theatre as well. It has 3 stories with an open pit. THe Bar is in the back facing the stage. I will have to check out the Norva

[NeC]

I saw the deftones at janus a while back, and the Fugees at USF....both were great shows...

[Mars_302]

GWAR!!!! enough said...

Man, Gwar shows are fucking insane

[Panzerbane]

VNV Nation back in Jan 05 at the Masquerade. Lots of Energy and Ronan really knows how to get a crowd worked up.

Depeche Mode at the Forum in November, just plain AWESOME show.

[SOCO]

Rage agains the machine I think in 1997, 1998 when they toured with Wutang.

yup, me too....however their first tour with Goldfinger was a little better I think

[EpDarks]

PAUL VAN DYK @ SPACE MIAMI Nov 4th 2005

[Mars_302]

Gwar is a show that anyone should see just for the sheer hillarity and shock value they do

[truffle_shuffle!]
