Best Concert You Ever Saw....Band.Musical Artist That You Wish You Did

Faith No More in Dublin's Olympia Theatre was the best for me, closely followed by Jethro Tull at Belfast's Waterfront.
would have loved to have caught Talking Heads or Mr. Bungle though; or Newsted or Burton-era Metallica.

The Musical Box, recreating the Genesis concert for "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" album.
 
Testament, Nuclear Assault and a band called Wrathchild America. It was in a hotel ballroom. It was outta control!

AC/DC, three years ago. I would've loved to have seen Bob Marley, Hendrix and Rory Gallagher.
 
I can't name one specific concert but a few of the top ones were Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, The Tea Party, Tool. And I would have loved to have seen Jimi Hendrix in his day, especially around the Band of Gypsies era.
 
I have seen a lot of great shows. The original Black Sabbath reunion was up there, I got to see Stevie Ray Vaughan two months before he died and seeing the Highwaymen (Cash,Kristofferson,Waylon and Willie) was a high point. I wish I could have seen the Allmans with Duane and Barry as well as Skynyrd with Ronnie. Of course it goes without saying that I would have loved to see Jimi and I was just a little too young to Zepplin live.

Epica. Plain and simple, those guys (and gal) play their little hearts out for their fans. There is only 2 bands I keep buying tickets for over and over and these guys are one of them.

I misread the title when I made my original post, the first one is the best, the one I wish I could have seen would be.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

He died when I was in high school, and I remember hearing it on the radio in drafting class...the first thing I said was, "damn, I wanted to go see him next time around".

knows petras secret: she farted.
im hoping to see the cure at least once. and nine inch nails... i really should look up tickets more.
 
I wish Sevendust would tour Australia again. I missed them the last time they toured solo here in 2004. They have only done one festival and supported Ozzy since and I ain't paying $150 to see em play for 40-45 mins.

Wish I could have seen Led Zeppelin and The Who. I'll repeat the story from another thread about Harry Chapin at my high school gym. Mind you my graduating class was 145 students in upstate NY. I don't know how they got him but it was to raise money for world hunger. Harry comes out and does a few strums before his first song and stops. Front row of seats are about 15 feet away from the stage and he says, "What are you all doing way back there? Come on down here and sit on the floor right by me. Don't be scared, I had a shower before I got here." The bleachers emptied. "Anybody left out there that didn't get in yet? I don't care if they have a ticket or not we've got some bleachers opening up. Let them in." He brought his brother Tom to play some songs too. Just the men with their acoustic guitars and their talk. We were all digging it.

Wish: Metallica in their prime. I'm talking the And Justice For All Tour, before the Black Album.

Journey 1982 I was 8 years old and went with my mom. It was during the big Blizzard of 82 here in Colorado and the band played all night long in appreciation of the crowd showing up despite the weather. Steve Perry is amazing and Journey was never the same after he left IMO. xoxo
 
Best Show: Black Sabbath Mob Rules Tour 1981
Missed Show: Was meaning to see Stevie Ray Vaughan with Eric Clapton but was driving on the 405 when I heard of SRV's plane crash on the radio.
