5. (Tie) Bruce Springsteen, Magic Tour - Denver, 2008(?)/ U2, ATYCLB Tour - Calgary 2001(?)
4. Prince, Welcome 2 Canada Tour - Toronto, 2011: He was at the top of my bucket list forever. The culmination of about 5 years of waiting and it was insane. I saw the show in Calgary later on in the tour, but sadly, it didn't even compare to the Toronto show. Over three hours of one of the greatest performers around, three encores, with the last one coming after waiting 20 minutes in the arena with the lights on.
3. The Chemical Brothers - Coachella, 2011: Ridiculous. I've never seen a light show like this, put on by the best in the game.
2. The Rolling Stones, A Bigger Bang Tour - Halifax, 2006(?): Huge outdoor show in the pouring rain. The old buggers still had it. So much fun.
1. Watch The Throne - Vancouver, 2012: Simply incredible. Two of my all-time favorite artists performing together at their peak. It was an insane three hour party of hit after hit, topped off by them playing N***as in Paris 11 (11!) straight times. It was so over the top and ridiculous. I loved every second of it.
