My favourite concert, hands down, was Edgefest '98 at Race City Speedway. Bands that played either of the two stages that day included Sloan, the Matthew Good Band, Bif Naked, Tea Party, The Watchmen, The Killjoys, Econoline Crush, Creed, and the Foo Fighters. I may be forgetting some others.
My second favourite concert was a Collective Soul show at the Jube around 2000 or 2001. My wife won a meet and greet from CJAY92. We went to the concert early for soundcheck then had a beer with the band in the dressing room before the show.
AC/DC 2001 at the Saddledome was pretty cool. They had the most props and pyrotechnics of any concert I had attended to date.
Warped Tour 2000 at Race City was memorable. Jurassic 5, The Donnas, Papa Roach, NOFX, The Bosstones, and Green Day.
Number 5 favourite concert is probably one from Coyotes during Stampede around 2005 or so. Hurst played followed by Theory of a Deadman. I didn't know what Hurst was until I saw the leadman up on the stage and things clicked. I am/was a big Econoline Crush fan and they played all their good stuff.
