What's the best concert you've ever seen....

In another thread, someone mentioned SRV, that got me to thinking about starting this thread. I have several, but I'll start off with this one:

Dallas, Reunion Arena, 1976
Led Zeppelin, they had a 4 hour concert with no intermission, no opening bands nothing, just them. They set 15 concert records for that time, like most following spotlights, biggest indoor sound system, biggest computerized light show, etc. They had a drum setup that slid into the audience and John Bonham played a 45 minute drum solo. The lighting and sound was just amazing, if Zeppelin wasn't enough by themselves. We also sat by some really cool people and shared party supplies, just all in all a very memorable experience. First time I had ever seen cops that didn't bust people with dope, they just stood by and watched the concert like everyone else, pretty different for a country boy of 16 to see that...

I want to throw this quickie in too. I'm all over the map in taste of music, this won't impress alot of people, but I loved the concert. In a little town called Mexia (muh-hay-ah), where Vicky Smith aka Anna Nicole is from, I went to a small country& western club and saw George Jones. It was a make-up show (imagine that, if you know George) and because it was scheduled during the week there wasn't 50 people there. It was like sitting in your living room, you could talk to him and he could hear you and answer back for requests and such. He wasn't very drunk and played the best music that you could have wanted. If your a country music fan, this was really exciting.

Primus at the Red Rocks in Colorado. I also ate chocolate shrooms that night but the venue and sound were unreal.

Brooks n Dunn - Neon Circus Tour (I took my mother for her birthday, BEST CONCERT EVER!)
Prodigy (it would be my number one, but I was punched in the face)
Pearl Jam (before anyone outside of Seattle knew who they were)

i saw 311 in 1995 before the blue album came out. the place was a little musty wrestling gym or something. they absolutely killed.

Garth Brooks was awesome.
U2 with Rage Against the Machine opening rocked.
Godsmack with Hourcast and Breaking Benjamin was amazing.

Those are my three favorites.
