    What are the best live shows you've ever seen?
    Your first?
    Your last?

    1st concert - Poison and Tesla - Uniondale NY, Nassau Coliseum
    February 1989

    Last concert - Pearl Jam - Hartford, CT - Dodge Music Center
    June 27, 2008

    Top 5

    1. Pearl Jam - New York, NY - Madison Square Garden
    July 9, 2003

    I've been in the garden plenty of times. For The Who, Metallica, TOOL, Guns N Roses, but it has never shaken this hard.

    2. TOOL - New York, NY - Randall's Island (Lollapalooza)
    July 11, 1997
    I've seen them plenty of times since, but there is nothing like that first time. Under the stars, caked with drying mud, perfect.

    3. Soundgarden - New York, NY - The Armory
    June 17, 1994
    This was the same night as O.J.'s infamous Bronco chase. The place was like an oven. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt and was sweating from the minute I walked into this hell hole. At the end of the night I wrenched a few cups of accumulated crowd sweat out of that t-shirt. Worth it? Hell yes!

    4. A Perfect Circle - Uniondale, NY - Nassau Coliseum
    May 7, 2004
    I was drunk, they were pitch perfect.

    5. My Morning Jacket - New York, NY - Radio City Music Hall

    June 20, 2008
    First time ever in Radio City. Great place to see the right band.

    1st - R.E.M. and Radiohead

    Most recent - pretty sure it was Silverchair, its been awhile.

    Best - 311 is always good, saw them 9 times. Filter was very good, Smashing Pumpkins is very good as well. Blink 182 was very entertaining. Incubus is great live.

    Probably been to about 75 shows total.

    Ya, but lucky me he showed up at the show down here as a "guest appearance" with Method Man. I was a big fan of Wu Tang(still am) and of DMX back then, so it was pretty cool for me at the time.

    First: RATM - Hammerstein Ballroomm - 1996
    Last: Pearl Jam - MSG- June 26th 2008

    Top 5:
    1. Dave Matthews Band - Central Park - September 2001. The announced paid crowd was 60,000, the largest since Simon and Garfunkel drew almost a million in 1982 on the Great Lawn in Central Park. The newspapers said it was closer to 110,000. The tribute to the WTC, the 4+ hour show, the sore shoulders from holding my best friends wife on my shoulders for the whole concert so at least one of us could see it....Great time and great music.
    2. Pearl Jam - MSG- June 26th 2008 - Ive been a Pearl Jam fan since they were known as Mookie Blaylock. I played hooky from school the day Even Flow was released just to see the video. And every time they played in the tri state area there was a reason I couldn't go whether work or school or something. They didn't disappoint.
    3. Ben Folds Five - Hammerstein Ballroom - 2004 - Awesome show, never smoked so much secondhand pot in my life. Dont remember much of it, except liking the music and an amazing craving for my favorite munchie food, Cracker Jacks.
    4. RATM - Hammerstein Ballroomm - 1996 - Great show. Was right after the Evil Empire CD was released. Awesome version of Killing in the Name of, Bulls On Parade, Down Rodeo, and Freedom.
    5. TOOL - New York, NY - Randall's Island (Lollapalooza) July 11, 1997
    Apparently I was there with ya His'n.

    Honorable mention: Bon jovi @ the Vet. last show at the vet ever. Rocked that outhouse for the better part of 4 hours. Jovi just never gets old.

    First: Rob Zombie's Hellbilly Delux tour
    Last: Van Halen reunion in St. Louis
    Best:
    1. KISS, Ted Nugent, Skid Row; one of the many KISS farewell tours
    2. KISS Psycho Circus tour; my first time seeing KISS live, I was never the same
    3. Van Halen reunion in Little Rock; my first time seeing Eddie and Dave together
    4. David Lee Roth and Sammy Haggar in Nashville
    5. Sum 41 on their Chuck tour; I drove from Memphis to Knoxville to meet up with some friends, we then drove up to Cincinnati to catch the show and drove back to Knoxville that night, I was completely wiped out but it was worth it

    Yeah, I got locked out of the website for this year's MSG shows and couldn't get my fan club tickets. Settled on Hartford, and while my seats were close, they were too far to the side of the stage. They did have a great setlist thought.

    TOOL - 97'. Did you happen to go into the dusty mosh pit earlier in the day for Korn and have every last piece of dry dusty dirt stick to your sweat? It hadn't rained in weeks and it was awful. I was picking dirt boogers all night. My friend stayed in for 4 extra songs and his freaking teeth turned black. We all looked like coal miners.

    My sister got me the PJ tickets for this year as a gift for my 30th. Seats werent great but I just wanted to be in the building. Plus the first concert on the 25th sold out in like less then 2 minutes and the second one took less then 4 minutes as far as I read.

    The tool show, yeah i was in the pit for Korn and know exactly what youre referring to. I left that show with a rusty skin tone and teeth that looked like I hadnt brushed in a month. Pretty good show though :hi5:
