#1 Rage Against the Machine @ Voodoo Fest 2008

I've been to hundreds of concerts and honestly that one was so incredible there's no point to list 4 more. I don't think that experience will ever be matched.

G n’ R at the horse track in Bham, 1991-ish, was quite the event. Torrential rain the day before left the infield a 3” deep mud pit. Opened with Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach threatened to kick someone’s arse for throwing a firecracker and then Axle storming off when someone threw mud on his white coaching shorts. It remains the only concert ever held there. Some estimates up to 40k in attendance.
Quote from Slash, “I'm seeing a lot of people being carried over the barricade," Slash said. His voice, endearingly semi-wasted. "Try to relax whoever's pushing towards the front, alright? Just cool out! There's a lot of (expletive) people in this (expletive) place, man, as far back as I can (expletive) see."

One of my favorites was with you at Antone's in Austin '98... Lucinda on the Car Wheels tour.. Kenny Vaughan and Bo Ramsey were on guitar that tour... so so good!

1. Ramones
2. Ramones(second time)
3. Jason and The Scorchers
4. REM(Fables tour)
5. I could put at least three here, but I can't not put both Ramones. So, would have to be between, The Connells, Guadalcanal Diary and Hoodoo Gurus, with the latter in the lead.

I saw Ozzy in either 1982 or 1983 in Atlanta. It was terrible. It think the sound guys should have been fired. The sound was so loud and so distorted, you could barely figure out what song he was playing.

Worst concert of my life. And I love Ozzy

1. Tool - All three were amazing
2. Ozzfest 1997
3. Family values tour - Was Nu metal mainly of course but was still awesome for it's time. Limp Bizcut was garbage though.
4. Manson//Slayer
5. U2 in Tampa - Don't even like U2 but it was amazing to watch live


Sadly haven't seen a lot of the greatest bands live :(

GeauxBrown- Good call on Saga show. I was there as well. I thought Billy Squier show was really good as well. That place was packed. Senior year in high school. Good times.

Hard to pick 5, recency bias plays into it.

Tool - Nashville 2020

Metallica - Bham 2019 (Best of the 3 shows I've seen)

Behemoth - Atlanta 2019(?)

Slayer - Ashville 2019

Lamb of God - Any of the shows they played at the masquerade. Probably the best lineup was with Opeth opening.

Too many to remember. Miss going to shows.
