Your best concert?

Well, what's the best concert you've ever seen?

Alice Cooper wins it for me. That was a mind blowing concert. I'm hoping to see Colin James in January, that should be great also.

Joe Satriani at the Wiltern in December 1988. Saw Ozzy the next night and there was simply no comparison. Second would be Sammy Hagar in Long Beach in 1982.

satriani was pretty good last year in sydney. not as intense and crazy as i was expecting but still awesome.

gilberto was awesome at a clinic in canberra last year too. too bad i didn't know much about him then.

1- Steve Vai, 7-07-2007, Lorca (Murcia, Spain).
Beatiful place to attend to a concert and Steve was so inspired.

2- Dream Theater, Chaos in Motion Tour, Palacio de los Deportes (Madrid).
Supported by Symphony X. Both were outstanding but DT music range is diverse than SX.

3- Adeene, Petxina municipal (Turís, Valencia), two weeks ago.
They were the best local band here 20 years ago. The lead guitarrist resurrected his old 777vsk and performed a setlist with their own songs and some old covers from classic bands (Led Zepp, Deep Purple, Y&T, AC/DC, Metallica, The Knack...). That´s what rock is... pure diversion!

I know I'll get slated for this but;

Limp Bizkit - Kentish Town Forums, a few months ago.

Atmosphere was incredible.

U2 - 360d deg. Mindblowing.

The one that always sticks with me was a British band called The Hamsters, back around 1995-ish at a pub in Leeds (The Duchess, for anyone who knows Leeds - I think it closed down a few years back). The band were on their Electric Hamsterland tour so the whole gig was Hendrix covers. Amazing night.

Other notables were Therapy? and Slayer (supported by Machinehead, who went down a lot better with the crowd than Slayer did)

Also saw Satriani on the Flying... tour. Stu broke his bass strap during one song and had to hop around, supporting his bass with his other leg.

Donington Monsters of Rock 1986.

I’m still recovering from it, the Tinnitus is still there, I have a nervous twitch that first developed when Doro Pesch came on stage, a persistent fixed gaze after Lemmy’s bass solo and a Bi-Polar disorder when Ozzy dropped onto the stage in a giant chair lift. Other than that I am doing ok now.

Best event ever, well apart from that water into wine thing Jesus did, oh and when I thought Wendy James looked straight at me through the TV, but apart from that…definitely Donington 1986.
