Well here is a list the best I can do for now. I KNOW I am missing loads in there though,since I attend many festivals which naturally have many artists on one bill. This list consists of many "major" acts, as well as countless wonderful independent artists. :biggrin:

Inward Eye
Saving Abel
Motley Crue
Trapt
Papa Roach
Gowan
Def Leppard
Aerosmith

Makeshift Innocence
Buckcherry
Tom Wilson

Last one I saw: Soul Side In
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:

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.

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 am sure that I am leaving some off of this list, but I'm gonna do my best to remember as many as possible.

AC/DC
Aerosmith
Tori Amos (too many times to count)
Nicole Atkins (3 times)
Band of Horses
BB King
Black Sabbath
The Bridge (twice)
Buckcherry
Jerry Cantrell
George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic
Cheap Trick (twice)
Coldplay
The Cure
Def Leppard
Deftones
The Duke Spirit
Ani DiFranco
Drowning Pool
Bob Dylan
Melissa Etheridge
Fleetwood Mac
Ben Folds
Godsmack (twice)
Gomez
Heart
Hobex
The Hymns
Incubus
Jane’s Addiction
Journey
Kid Rock (twice)
Korn
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Machine Head (twice)
Megadeth
Metallica
Modest Mouse
Alanis Morissette
Motley Crue (twice)
Motorhead
Nine Inch Nails (three times)
No Doubt (twice)
Ozzy Osbourne (five times)
Pantera
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (twice)
Phish
Poison
Powerman 5000
R.E.M.
Josh Ritter
Slayer
Snoop Dogg
System of a Down
Tool
Tricky
Type O Negative
Rob Zombie (at least twice)
ZZ Top

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 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.
