Hi to this thread,i hope we can all share some great memories of gigs that stand out in your memories for what ever reason.
I suppose i will start this one off with---
Frank Zappa,1988 at the birmingham nec,england. This was on my 21st birthday,it was the 'is there humour in music tour'. I could never of had a better 21st birthday than this.It was the full band,Ray White,Steveie Vai,Warren Cuccorulo etc. it was brilliant sett and first time i had seen or heard speakers being flown from the ceiling,all of wich is common today.
I also so Zappa,a few years earlier,at the hammersmith odeon,england.The first gigs he had done in the uk after breaking his leg from being pushed over on stage by a fan or not as the case may be??(fill me in on that if you know the story) in the uk,so was extremely privaldge to see that gig as he had stated he would not play uk again.
He only played two shows that time.It was the 'Them or us tour'.I think only seven members in that line up,and absolutely astounding they were.

Jethro Tull was a great gig in the 70s. So was Ted Nugent. And Led Zeppelin. And....

Damn. I'm jealous man. I would've loved to see Zappa live.

I've been to some pretty epic shows in the last 20 years. Some of the most memorable...

Tool w/Melvins - Aenima Tour 1998 Phoenix Civic Plaza

NIN w/A Perfect Circle - Fragility Tour 2000 America West Arena Phoenix

Ozzfest 2006 - Cricket Pavillion Phoenix. Seeing Black Sabbath take the stage after Iron Maiden was pretty freakin awesome.

Roger Waters The Wall 2011 Tour - St Pete Times Forum Tampa Fl

Iron Maiden Maiden England Tour 2012 - Atlanta GA Last concert attended, and definitely one of the best.

I've seen Sonic Youth 3 times...'09 was great, '94 was strange, and '05 I'd rather forget.

Kiss, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Ramones, Motorhead, the Cramps, Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, and the Jesus & Mary Chain can go in the great pile.

Strange (but in a good way) gigs include the Butthole Surfers, Ween, Dread Zeppelin, Captured!By Robots, and Meat Puppets.

Gigs I'd rather forget: Bikini Kill. Not knowing any better, I got too close to the stage and got slapped, pinched, and kicked by a bunch of cute girls. Freakin' nightmare, that was.
