Best ever, and best in a big room, U2's Zoo TV in 1994 or so. Best in a small room, Tom Petty, 1997 or so.
REM and Def Leppard (Yes, Def Leppard) were also fantastic.

Rage Against The Machine and The Roots Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR ~1997. Wu Tang was supposed to open but a few of them got arrested for beating up their manager or something. I don't wish jail on anybody, but to this day I'm glad they couldn't make it. It was much better for the overall atmosphere of the show. The Roots>Wu Tang. Rage against the machine kicks more ass live than anyone else I've ever seen. And I've seen KISS.

Man, I really wanted to start a thread like this.

Best Concert is one of the following:

Rufio/Brand New/Taking Back Sunday - Late 2002 (The Revolution)
No one knew who they were, and they played to a crowd of about 300 people crammed into a trailer-sized room. It was awesome.

Coheed/Thrice/Thursday - Early/Mid 2004? (Masquerade)
By this time a lot of people were into these bands, so the concert crowds were getting worse, but this show was amazing.


Best Single Song at any Performance:

Incubus - Certain Shade of Green: Music Midtown 2002 (Middle of the fuc[/b]kin city!)
Prolly 60k-70k people at this concert, all outdoors, all crowded up to the stage. The energy was crazy, and it was the only song I was waiting for all night, and they didn't disappoint at all.

Weezer - Say it Ain't So: Summer 2002 I think? (Hi-Fi Buys)
Nothing like being drunk high schoolers, screaming the lyrics as loud as you can from the grass behind the seats at Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre while flames shoot out of the giant Weezer symbol on stage.

Re: Best concert you have ever seen live
 

You know who puts on a good show?

The Offspring. Saw them at the streetfest in San Diego in 2001

Not "best," but most fun:

Afroman, UCSD--FallFest '01.
This was at the height of his 15 minutes and they were asking for trouble when they held this in an arena. Walking in was enough to get high.
