    Tibetan Freedom Concert - Golden Gate Park 96' I believe. Almost every single band I was in love with at the time was there.

    QOTSA secret club tour 02' with the Ultimate Queens lineup (Josh, Nick, Mark, Troy, & Dave)

    Loud as fuck. Noveselic mingling in the crowd, Lanegan chain smoking 2 cigarettes at once in the bathroom. The last show w/ one of my best friends(R.I.P)

    probably Incubus in 2002 with Phantom Planet opening

    Incubus had good energy, sounded great, and really had a good connection with the audience. All in all a very good show.

    I think I saw part of that show on MTV's Live At the 10 Spot - were there cameras there?

    I taped the first 4 songs from that show, I wish I'd have taped the whole thing. It looked awesome.

    I saw them, and the ironic thing is that the venue was half empty. The even more ironic thing is...since then I've noot been able to get a ticket for any of their tours....I blame Dave G :( for making them too popular.


    sorry, thread integrity an all.....best concert. Hmmmmm, Pearl Jam Madrid 07 was excellent, as was Soundgarden Bristol 92 as was PJ Cardiff 2000, as was Audioslave Cardiff 06, as was AC/DC Donington 91, as was Metallica Wembley arena 91.....this is a ridiculous question, I could be here all night.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    I couldn't give two shits about Dave Grohl - it's all about seeing Mark Lanegan for me. :D Nothing beats that voice.

    Me either, I meant that Dave played on the album following the tour I saw and loads of people went...."ooooh, ooooh, Dave Grohl is crazily being a drummer in his new band, let's go see em"...and I never got a ticket, or this last tour :( Mark was good, he only sang a handful of songs the night I saw them, which was the Rated R tour, it was a warm up show for a festival slot they had with ac/dc at Milton Keynes Bowl.
