What is the best concert/DJ you have ever seen???? Obviously, there are a lot of intangibles that go along w/ it. Atmosphere, sound, pharmaceuticals, lack there of.... go!!!

Mine would have to be Tool @ Red Rocks

If you haven't seen a pic of Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, its amazing!!!
 
Sunday Bloody Sunday! Red Rocks is legendary. I'd love to go to a show there.

Lollapalooza I in a park in Fairfax, Virginia was probably the best all-around show I've been to. Rollins Band, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Janes Addiction, Ice-T with his rock band Body Count, Jesus & Mary Chain, and every performance totally rocked.

Faithless at a club in Berlin, Depeche Mode at Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, Maryland) and Nine Inch Nails at the Centrum (Worcester, Massachusettes) also come to mind. Oh, and believe it or not, Erasure at the Patriot Center (Fairfax, Virginia)... great show.

Erasure is the ****!!!! Love em!!!!
 
I love my annual Incognito gigs for vocal talent but for atmosphere, the Tribal Gathering gigs were amazing.

So anyone there really. ;)
 
I can't narrow it down to just one I'm afraid.

Big Day Out '96 (Auckland, NZ) - Soundgarden & Prodigy

homelands '99 (Winchester, England) - Faithless followed by Underworld followed by Chemical Brothers

Circo Loco @ Dc10 June thru September 2000 - all of 'em

Boutique @ C2 2002 (Brighton, England) - 2ManyDjs & Erol Alkan

Cocoon @ Amnesia & Circo Loco @ Dc10 September 2004 - Hawtin & Villalobos
 
Mano Negra - Any of the three concerts I've seen of them

Moby @ Apolo 2000 (Play tour)

Any concert at SONAR when it was in the beach 8)
 
Oasis - Loch lomond
Beastie Boys - Glasgow SECC (Live on MTV)

Kings of Leon also rock, but I had a headache when I went to see them :?
 
Ooh.. I adored The Cult. Never got a chance to see them live.

I forgot to mention U2 @ RFK Stadium (Washington, DC) in 1987 or '88. Bono slipped and dislocated his shoulder but we only realized he'd hurt himself an hour later when he came back for the encore with his arm in a sling. That's devotion.
 
my best concert, must say that I am not a fan of concerts
but this two I really had a good time and great feelings comes to my mind everytime I remember them, I really enjoy the memories.
two spanish groups:
Fangoria, summer 2004 in the verbenas of felanitx, great time, unforgetable
Mikel Erentxun. ex Duncan Dhu, uauuuu really have fun listening: esosss ojos negros, etc. Incredible the feelings, very nostalgic feelings and great company that felt the same that me.
 
Stone Roses @ Spike Island :D

Glastonbury 2004

Tribal Gathering 1996

Homelands 2000 (aka the Mudbath :D )

Gatecrasher 2000 (esp England beating Germany :D )

Global Gathering 2004 (for the company and all-round weekend shenanigans :D )
 
In no particular order:

1. Tom Petty (my first concert EVER) in San Diego
2. Tania Vulcano @ DC10
3. Paul van Dyk @ The Mayan in Los Angeles
4. Erick Morillo @ Pacha Ibiza
5. Sander Kleinenberg at L5 (R.I.P.... raddest, most intimate club that fell to a Hard Rock hotel being built over it) in San Diego
6. Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz, San Diego
7. Roger Sanchez all 5 times that I've seen him

Still tons to be seen (U2 is top priority). -xoxo PG:p
 
I have been to only two concerts, Page & Plant and Riverdance. Both were great. However, I am a pretty big Led Zeppelin fan, and watching Jimmy Page and Robert Plant finally play together was blissful.
