ELTON

I think my favorite concert was Jimmy Buffett, I just can't remember it very well.

A few years ago, before our three children were born, my wife and I went on what we called the "Almost Dead Tour." We saw Neil Diamond, Elton John and Paul McCartney within a few months of each other. Neil and Paul were great, Elton was going through the motions that night. As a whole, this was awesome. The best single show I've seen was Def Lepperd with Europe opening—Hysteria tour with a little "Final Countdown" from Europe.

First concert I saw was the cunning stunts load tour by Metallica. Great stage performance and being 15 at the time, I have to thank my dad for dropping my friend and me off at the show. Best show I have seen is either Tool (for the stage presence) or The Who when Entwistle was still alive at the New World Music Theater. Although they were older, they still brought the noise. Both of those will be rivaled by The Wall at Wrigley this summer.

super bowl of rock.. Skynard, Santana, bob seeger, Frampton, ted nugent,
all same day .. Great time ... but the Best band live ever ... Was J geils . when they were a rock band... Not that sill 80's band but 72 73 74 75 , House party. first I look at the purse..... do yourself a favor and google J geils live in the 70's .. 1980 and after was a bunch of really bad stuff and the end of a good band....

I'm not sure anything will ever be as epic as Woodstock, however, the best concert I ever attended was Led Zeppelin at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago. They were just about to release their second album and the warm up band was the then unknown "Santana"!

I've been to some pretty great concerts (Dave Matthews Band, Prince, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Black Crowes), but my favorite of all time was seeing my favorite band, the Smashing Pumpkins, at their second-to-last show at the United Center. My sister Tena and I had 7th row center seats, on the aisle, and I had a perfect view of Billy Corgan the whole time. It was beyond awesome! This was back when the band originally broke up. I also saw their final show at the Metro, but I wasn't as close to the stage as I was for the United Center show.

Jethro Tull at the Fillmore East in NYC... Out of this world

i have seen alot of concerts.. my fav bands are the rolling stones and styx. iv seen styx about 5 times now and it will be a 6th in 3 days. but my fav concert was seeing styx, reo speedwagon, and 38 special

Rick Springfield 1983 at the Rosemont Horizon! My mom and aunt took me, since I was only 8 years old. Proud to be a lifelong RS fan and still catch his shows when he rolls through town. :)

I can't remember the year, but it was Wham! Oh yeah! It was great. The last concert I went to was Mana, a Spanish rock group who've won a few Grammy awards. They put on a great show.

How about I just list the performers I've seen that have since passed away. Levon Helm, Richard Manual, Rick Danko, Freddy Mercury (Queen), Grant McLennan, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) and Kirsty McColl. I hope I wasn't bad luck for those folks. First concert: Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne and the Eagles at the Capital Center in Landover, MD.

Hands down, it was the Billy Joel/Elton John Face to Face concert. I saw it twice, and I will be the first one in line if/when it comes back to Chicago!
