The best concert You ever attended, which band, what city and what made it so special? For me it was Godsmack / Staind and Cold - Eastern Michigan University! Front row the whole concert. Last song of the night Godsmack "I'm doing the best I ever did" I played the bass guitar the whole song it was sweet. Standed on stage looking at 25,000 screaming fans. I've seen PJ seven times and they all are a close second.

    Unfortunatley, i've never seen PJ. So i'd have to say Foo Fighters, Toronto ,July 7, Arrow Hall. It was the one filmed for their one and only dvd. I just think thats amazing that i was there for the taping. Its also cool that they chose Canada, since their an American band, i wonder why? (Not that there is anything wrong with the U.S.)

    Most energy I've ever felt in a crowd-it was electric with 8,000 fan club members!

    pj montreal 2003....great atmosphere, great seats, close to home.

    One of my fave shows is still Nick Cave in Montreal 2002 with Neko Case opening, one of the most intense performances ever. He blew me away.

    MSG I and II were amazing. II if only for the awesome speech Eddie gave about the fanclub before dedicating a song to us.

    I was lucky enough to win backstage passes to Lollapolooza 97, I sat over the soundboard on the stage (seated on the scaffolding). I caught Violent Femmes, Ramones, Soundgarden, and Metallica.

    Pearl Jam, May 2nd 2003 Buffalo comes in a close 2nd
    The last PJ show I went to was the best PJ show ever, that is until they come around again of course

    Teenage Fanclub, 1 May 2004 ... in Recife :D

    AWESOME...

    first Teenage Fanclub show in Brazil... :D
    So that is how I learned the lesson that everyone is alone. And your eyes must do some raining if you are ever going to grow. But when crying don't help and you can't compose yourself. It is best to compose a poem, an honest longing or simple song of hope.
    That is why I'm singing

    THe best concert I have ever been to was Smashing Pumpkins/Garbage 1996 San Diego for the Mellon Collie tour. Everything was perfect. The setlist was amazing. All the musicians were on fire. Unfortunately this was after Jimmy Chamberlain was sacked but Matt Walker was great. The sports arena was full and the crowd was pumped. The visuals on the screen were kick ass and went perfect with the music. They played what seemed like a 20 minute version of "Silverf**k" and a 20 minute version of 'Aeroplane Flies High..." They were like a punk rock Pink Floyd...AMAZINGGG!!!! Garbage were really good too

    A Perfect Circle and the Mars Volta, april 18th 2004

    Mars Volta played two songs during their one hour set, with only a 5 second break. They were really amazing to watch.

    A Perfect Circle played basically every song that they have, and they rocked really hard. Such an amazing band to watch live. I'd go see them again in a heart beat. Their drummer played with a broken leg and was still dead on.

    "Pulse", a small band of a guy I know, I was at his birthday party and they decided to play, nearly everybody was filled up to the nose, i still saw quite clear, guess I was the only one listening.
    Even the girlfriend of the lead singer did no applaud, she usally does.
    I had talked to the guitarists before, a bit about led zepplin cream and about playing guitar, you know they play awesome.
    And every time i looked at them they smiled at me.

    So to sum it up: I was in fact the only person listening, and I was extremly near to the band, so that was fuckin intense.

    I guess I prefer this short concert to a pj front row concert.
