I've been to too many to really have one favorite "best one ever".
Seeing Lee Perry's first American concert in 17 years was an epiphany,but was topped by hanging out with him backstage about a decade later after a heavyweight small club show.
I was roommates with Phish in their early years and saw them hone their craft in a variety of intimate settings...wild times.
Bob Weir around a campfire in the woods last year with just a few other folks was more memorable than many many of the Dead shows I saw in my youth.
Mungo's HiFi tearing the roof off the dancehall for a solid 5 hours was epic as well.
Oooh,and my main man Adrian Sherwood on my birthday ripping my brain to shreds and causing pain in every dancing muscle with an extra-relentless mix also stands out.
Also,the Master Musicians of Joujouka opening for Crash Worship late 90's was a powerful experience!
Ummm,plus Fishbone or Bad Brains could deliver the best show ever on any given night.

~thanks for asking

I went to a charity event which was supposed to feature Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. It was just after Martin's son died, so he couldn't attend, but turnout Liza Minella in his place. It was an amazing evening.

The Counting Crows at a small outdoor venue near Seattle. I've been to some great concerts, but that was the best I've seen.

Ah! So many to choose from.

Dj Sjadow at Brixton Academy or The Killers at Hyde Park. Both were fantastic shows.

When I was a teenager I saw Eric Clapton with Los Lobos opening his show. It was great.

They threw out some other teens for lighting up weed that they wanted to smoke while they were listening to the music ...lol

Cream at Madison Square Garden....I've seen a lot of really good concerts over the years, but that was my all-time favorite.

Eagles Hell Freezes Over Tour....got to see them before Glenn died. It was hilarious and relateable as they stopped mid set and Glenn said, "Folks, we have to take a little break. Joe and I have to Pee."

Redhot chili peppers top of the world trade center NYC (before they came down ).
Friend won a radio contest for a private 300 person concert and took me .

One I specially remember was ACDC in Barcelona in 2000. I was 19 and it was my first massive concert.

Bleed · 41-45, F

Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson on the twins of evil tour or Slipknot and Korn on their prepare for hell tour. I’ve gone to way too many awesome gigs.

lostlissa · 36-40, F

I've been to so many concerts but the very best was The Rolling Stones. I have seen them 3 times.

carpediem · 61-69, M

McCartney and Wings in 1976 was amazing. The light show for Live and Let Die was unparalleled.

hunkalove · 70-79, M

Bob Dylan and The Hawks, in St. Louis, March 1966. Never much of a Dylan fan but The Hawks, who became The Band, were incredible.

I kinda hate them now but Offspring at a stand alone concert.. just full energy awesome.

But Metallica at the big day out in Sydney. Nothing beats that

calicuz · 56-60, M

I've only been to one, so I guess by default that makes it the "best concert I've ever been to.

Janet Jackson Rythm Nation Tour, waaaaaaayyyyy back in 88' or 89'. 😅

ShenaniganFoodie · 36-40, M

The best would be hard to pick from the 56 concerts I've had tickets.

The 1 I remember most ? Because it was free

The Rolling Stones
2006
Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro
