ooof this is a hard one.

UMEK and Porter Robinson last year at ezoo were top.

However, the first time I saw Nicole Moudaber was at (((Stereo))) last September and she changed my life forever. So she takes it.

The Rolling Stones when they toured New Zealand a few years. It was mind-blowing.

Probably RHCP last year when they were in Detroit. 8th row floor seats. It was incredible. Honorable mention goes to Paul McCartney when I saw him in high school.

saw The Police/Sting at Rentschler field a while back, that was pretty awesome but not really what i was into back then. more recently would have been when i saw The Story So Far in this small ass VFW in CT right before they blew up, played volleyball and had a cookout with all the bands it was dope.

Not really a big concert goer. I did go to see Bassnectar and Gramatik this past winter in Portland, ME. That was pretty insane I must say

A couple of years back I went to the 'Space Cadet Kid Koala Headphone Experience' and it blew me away. I sat front row on the floor and it legitimately felt like I was sitting in his living room - between songs he'd play games with the crowd, give out free shit and tell stories about the songs coming up. It was an all ages show, there were little kids and old people (you'd think it would be lame) but it was quite the opposite.

Definitely Aerosmith. Those guys know how to put on a show like no other, although I definitely really enjoyed the foo fighters as well

Aw hell yeah! I totally forgot about that concert.
Went to see them when they were touring for A Matter of Life and Death back in 06 or 07 I think. Such an amazing show!

wow its suprising how many people actually take EDM seriously, or even count it as an actual concert? i could play you some deadmau5 at my house and if you just took a couple idiot rave drugs like you do at those concerts, it'd be the same experience as at some huge venue. fucking nerds.

Can't say there is one single show that was the best, but my tops are:

Zion I - I've seen them 6-7 times, but last time they came they did a 2-hour set that blew my mind, and Minnesota played after, which was neat.

Paper Diamond - Had never listened to him prior, and he fucking killed it. Danced my face off.

Ghostland Observatory - So many LAZARSSSS

Gramatik - In a packed small venue. Super groovy.

AFI - In the pouring rain at Warped waaaaaay back when.

The Roots - because The Roots...

Honorable mentions to: Slightly Stoopid, Bassnectar, Damien Marley and People Under the Stairs

probably Fleetwood Mac, but coming in at a close second is dueling pianos Elton John and Billy Joel--  rolling stones were good but too big of a venue to make it epic, tom petty was good too-- best small venue shows were counting crows, ziggy marley and the wailers, and death cab for cutie with orchestra.

fleet foxes or m83

fleet foxes was the best sounding show I have ever seen but M83 was a better overall experience due to the crowd/visuals/drugs

the shins were also one of the best shows i have ever seen

That was not a Zac Brown Band concert. That was the Peach Music Festival. If you only went to see that shitty band and left, then you are an idiot.... Saturday ABB, OAR, and Rebelutuion and Sunday Warren Haynes and Blind Boys of Alabama were amazing. ZBB was terrible, and a lot of country jerkoffs were there for this.

aint no reason to hate on electronic music, just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone can't. That's like me saying i could play you some Zeppelin and give you a joint and it would be the same. It's about the concert experience man
