Yeah, there's only a few ATL people on these boards that I know of, and all of the others are northsiders, unlike me.

Northside here too.

Best concert I saw? Beastie Boys @ Lakewood, Hello Nasty tour.

Best concert that I DIDN'T see? Beastie Boys + Rage... Had tickets for this, then one of the Beasties hurt themselves and Rage split... DOH!

Music Midtown rules. I lived in Atlanta '93-'96 and went a couple other times as well.

I've seen Page/Plant 3 times, twice in '95 at the LA Forum.
Once in '98 at Irvine Meadows. Effin sweet, Page is still very good. Plant was alright, not bad though.

Hey, I was born in '80. It's the closest thing to Zep in my lifetime.

I saw the Chili Peppers last year at Irvine Meadows, and it was a great show. They rock, they were on top of their game.

So hard to say, so many come to mind. I narrowed down the list as much as I could:

GNR/Cult in some little club
Def Leppard Hysteria in the round
Boston Third Stage
Soundgarden in some little club
Counting Crows various times in small clubs/theaters
Soundgarden/GNR
Pearl Jam/Soundgarden in some little club
Stevie Ray Vaughn at Rockefeller's and others
Arc Angels at Rockefeller's
Pearl Jam at the Fox Theater
Garbage at Slim's and the Point
Peter Stuart / Dog's Eye View a few times
Beastie Boys at Bottom of the Hill
The White Stripes at Fillmore and Warfield
Beck at the Greek
Bob Schneider at Bimbo's
Liz Phair/Flaming Lips at the Warfield
Pixies at Greek Theater
TV on the Radio at Bottom of the Hill
Old '97s a couple of times
The Wrens a couple of times
Coldplay at the Warfield

Probably one of those.

Clutch's transnational speedway tour at the Phoenix (det) in 93, even though there was an all out riot. I hear this was the last time they played binge and purge in concert.

91 or 92 I saw Pantera (just getting popular) and zombie(unknown) at Harpo's(a large bar) in detroit. The most violent pit ever!

Tool's undertow tour was great at the phoenix in 94

Soundgarden superunknown tour was awesome, pine knob 94.

Down (phil from pantera and pepper from CoC) harpos 95

I've seen slayer 8 times, the best being the diabolus tour (with clutch) hapros 2000

Metallica with Danzig and Suicidal was a great show too, pine knob 94

These shows were all very good, but if I had to pick, I'd say pantera/zombie

Zombie also put on a great show at the mi state fairgrounds during the astrocreep tour.

Rolling Stones
B.C. Place Stadium
Vancouver, B.C.
1994

They were old even back then, but they put on a hell of a show. Worst seats I've ever had in my life, though -- I was all the way across the stadium from the stage. Row ZZ. The very top of the stadium. Still a great night.

Close seconds would be AC/DC in Portland in 1991, or Van Halen last year in Spokane (but just because I had Golden Ring tickets and was about a foot away from Eddie).

They kind of suck, but the Prodigy put on a pretty amazing show in about 1996.

De La Soul last year in London were great, probably the concert I've had the most fun at.

Pavement were very good in about 1995.

Nirvana would have been good if they hadn't cancelled for some spurious reason related to the death of someone or other.

Muse
Glastonbury 2004

[MasterShakes]

It's tough to choose between these two:

Pearl Jam
July of 2003
New York City, Madison Square Garden (night #1 of 2)

Pearl Jam
1994
Cleveland, CSU Convocation Center

I feel like the band lost some of their edge after 1994, but they have really come into their own recently, and the MSG 2003 show is what made me realize this. Pick it up on DVD if you want to see something legendary ("Pearl Jam Live at the Garden").
