Most special? That's a tough one, but I will say, any time I see Colin James is special, but as a personal level, that's a toss up between Aerosmith or KISS :rockon:
Who Have You Seen Live - kvincent5555 - 10-12-2009
I can't remember them all, but...
The best was Judas Priest.
The second best was AC/DC.
Rush was the worst.
One surprisingly good show was Black Sabbath with Ian Gillian.
Who Have You Seen Live - Music Head - 10-12-2009
Queen and Bowie were the best.
Others are too many to mention or maybe that's remember, considering the circumstances. Most were probably in a club setting, country/folk type.

I Saw Bowie At The Milton Keynes Bowl Serious Moonlight tour............awesome

Getting ready to go see The Bridge again in a few weeks and will also probably fit in an Anvil show just for fun. At this point, I have no idea who I'd put at the top of my list though. The Dylan show and one of the Petty shows were both quite memorable performances, and at least a few of the Tori Amos shows that I've been to have been top 5 or just beneath it. Then there's The Cure, Motorhead, BB King, and Nicole Atkins... all memorable for various reasons. Just too hard to pick only one.

I have a rather short list...:biggrin:
I have seen one of my musical idol 2 times in Hungary,
Jean Michel Jarre Oxygene Tour in 2008 and a year later by his In>Doors European tour.
Who Have You Seen Live - Dementia32 - 23-01-2010
I did actually make that Anvil show earlier in the week. They really put on a great show with a lot of energy, even if the crowd is pretty darn small.
I'm hoping to at least add Them Crooked Vultures, Alice in Chains, and Rodrigo y Gabriela over the next couple of months.
