I would say the best shows ive seen are ( these were all amazing)



Coldplay - Rush of Blood to the Head Tour, Saddledome, 2003
Bob Seger - Saddledome , 2013
Muse - 2nd Law Tour, Saddledome , 2013
Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul Tour, Rexall Place, 2008
David Bowie - Reality Tour , Saddledome , 2004
Rolling Stones - Saddledome, 2005


Lots of average shows ive seen over the years... Coldplays return to Calgary on the Viva La Vida tour was a big time drop off from the first time I seen them. The Who I thought were meh, but now to get to the biggest disappointments.



Neil Young - Saddledome 2008.

Sounded horrible. Played lots of songs that were unknown. Would not buy a ticket for him again and am a big fan.



Robert Plant - Saddledome 2005. Couldnt come close to his range he had on the zeppelin records (to be expected). Played nearly nothing from the Zeppelin hits catalogue, no good.


Eric Clapton - Saddledome , 2007 . Played no hits till the end, opening act Robert Cray frankly sounded and played better. Wouldn't buy another ticket if he came.



Best opening act? Probably one of Ryan Adams/ Snow Patrol / Jake Bugg. All were great.


My biggest surprise concert I didn't plan on going to but got given a free ticket was Santana. He was awesome. Paul McCartney was a decent show to.


Bands I wish I seen...besides the obvious ones (Beatles/Zeppelin)


Radiohead
RHCP (With John Frusciante)
Merle Haggard
CSNY
