I was right up against the stage and they were fataing awesome.

runner up....

Toad The Wet Sprocket at the University of Redlands, Redlands, CA...circa 1993.
The concert turned me into a fan actually.

[metallicat]

Metallica a couple of years ago, followed by Tool 3-4 years ago. Honourable mentions for Pantera and the Tea Party.

[Patek23]

I don't like concerts, mainly because the first one was a forced Jan Arden concert, she was practicing at COP, and since then I've never felt the need to go to another one again.

[FireFly]

Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was a 2 hour jam session. It rocked.

[JiriHrdina]

Best concert: Offspring at the Maxbell Arena
2nd best: U2 @ Commonwealth (Discotecque tour)

[Hakan]

1. Ozzfest 2001 at the most beatiful place on Earth for a concert, the Gorge in washington.....Sabbath, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Papa Roach, Linkin Park and Disturbed were all on the main stage..........the only bad part was having to sit thru Crazytown.....oh man, did they suck,,,,,had to buy scalper tix which sucked, but every single penny of the 200 bucks was very well spent....will never forget it...

2. Korn at GM Place......I had won passed to be on stage for the show......I was like 5 feet away from them the entire set........

Damn.
I would kill to have seen that band.

[the crispy badger]

it's the morning after the concert and am I ever fating tired..when the Stones come to Calgary later on in the year you NEED to see em..the stage and light show was totally amazing and the crowd was extremely loud...hopefully this gives easterners a bit more credit and we get some bigger concerts and things of that sort

[Andrew]

I might have got the dates mixed up.... my favs:

pantera 01?

ozzy osbourne 03??

van halen 2004

offspring 1997 (this was my first concert)

billy idol


Excited about audioslave and NIN next month

[Looger]

never got to see soundgarden, and am very passy aboot it.

ozzfest '99 was pretty epic, especially as vancouver doesn't even wake up off its parent's couch in the basement for that first bong hit in the morning until 11 AM.

doors opened at 9, and i got to watch Drain and Fear Factory with bar-size crowds, wow.

system of a down was pretty awesome, even though back then their music was 100% political.

there were the stinkers of course, slipknot was so terrible that half the crowd left their show for the other stage, i have never seen that before. man did they suck.

other concerts of note i've seen were primus at pacific coliseum, and i mother earth at spartacus.

Yeah, thats what I'm hoping for! A buddy of mine went to a Pearl Jam concert in Seattle in 00, and they didn't say who the opening act was. Not knowing what to expect the Red Hot Chilli Peppers took to the stage to everyone's surprise as the opening act for PJ. He said it was pretty awesome. We won't get anything like that in Calgary, but PJ by themselves should be great.

They've been playing 3 hours sets. 3 encores. I have to miss Calgary, but I'll see them in Edmonton on Monday. shinguardty seats though.

[Winsor_Pilates]

PJ are amazing live. Seeing them in Van on the Riot Act tour ranks as my #2 concert. Can't wait for 2nite.

#1- Radiohead and REM 2 day show in Van at Thunderbird. When Thom Yorke came out and sang with REM I couldn't believe it. Michael Stipe coming out the next night and singing with Radiohead finished what was the most amazing concert experience of my life. Having openers like Wilco, Dandy Worhols and Stephen Malkmus was nice too.
