1) Ozzy Osbourne at the dome - Tons of energy, a hilarious intro video where he was waiving a sex toy in Princess Di's face. He kept coming out for encore after encore. During the contest while he was playing crazy train (The person on camera doing the craziest thing won a backstage pass) had victory stolen from a girl due to a totally inappropriate boob squeeze by the guy behind her.

2) George Thorogood Dallas Alley - An amazing concert in a bar setting it was loud and raw and completely simple

3) Bon Jovi/Skid row - Hated skid row, but Bon Jovi put on a great musical show at the height of their slippery when we tour

4) Rolling Stones/Living Color at the Cotton Bowl - Just an amazing color, Living color put on a hell of a show, the Stones were incredibly musical and the 50 feet tall inflatable dancing girls during honkey tonk woman blew the audience mind

5) Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band Vancouver - A 4 hour super show where Springsteen showed that he was the consummate showman. The band was tight and wanted to make sure that the fans enjoyed the show. I'll still remember the opening "The screen door slammed, Mary's dress waiving, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays"

Also Rosealita was a highlight of audience participation as well as Hungry hearts.

I could just stop going to concerts after seeing the above.

Honorable mention, Colin James played at one of our corporate retreats a bunch of years ago, and the only thing cooler then sitting down and having a drink with him after the show as the opening bars of Voodoo Thing, where 100 nerds who all claimed that we could play guitar had our collective minds blown out the back of our skulls.

HM2 Van Halen with opening act Echo and the bunny men, when the EBM concert lasted about 4 minutes due to the lead singer taking a beer bottle to the head.
