When they closed with blind the pit looked like that famous clip of Woodstock where they played, just smaller.

I’ll never forget after the show, I was 15, these two older bikers turned around and told us it was the best goddamn show they’d ever seen, which included all the 80/90s greats like Metallica.

Roger Waters about 10 years ago at the dome. Played DSOTM in full and then played some Animals complete wi flying pig. I was in heaven.

Eric Clapton about a decade ago was phenomenal.

I’ve seen NIN in Vegas at the Hard Rock 3 times. What a venue. I love it there.

Grace Too at the first Hip farewell concert was great. Second loudest crowd I’ve ever heard and Gord’s primal screams were amazing. And I don’t much care for the Hip.

Any of the 3 Tool shows I’ve seen at the dome.

SOAD twice in six months around 05? 08 maybe? Right after hypnotize/memorized came out. Again at the height of their popularity. Dome was so full of energy.

Oh and that time the lead singer from Goldfinger jumped in the crowd, got punched in the nuts by an ahole fan, singer retaliated, so did fans, security got mad saying he shouldn’t have gone on crowd, goldfinger told security to #### off and played rest of show, albeit brief, with no security. Fans were pretty chill. That was odd.

I’d have to check my stubs to find some other gems. Those are what come to mind at the moment.

I still remember going to see Van Halen in the 80's twice, they always had a habit of booking opening acts that didn't make a heck of a lot of sense. In one they had a polka band opening for them. In the other it was Echo and the Bunnymen. I remember the lead singer for that band came on stage and I saw the bottle spinning out of the crowd like a shiny spinning super slowmo missile. It was also completely accurate as it bounced off of the singers head knocking him for a loop.
