When you have been a fan as long as I have the list is too long to remember. Going to see Johnny Lang tonight in Nashville with my son.
Tho most cherished one was the original Skynyrd concert.
Joe Bonnamassa was outstanding with an unbelievable 45 minute acoustic set before plugging in. Same here, the original is cherished. Bonnamassa was good too. I'll add some top shows.. Eagles Dickie Betts Boston Delbert McClinton Journey ZZ top ACDC

I'm just not a concert guy. Been to like 3-4 total, ever, and that was in my teens. My wife surprised me with tickets to see trans Siberian orchestra when we were dating. That was 13+ years ago and was the last one I've been to. Don't get me wrong - I love music and the lists on here are quite impressive but I just never got the allure of shelling out major money for a couple hours of being packed like sardines into a sweaty, intoxicated crowd. Not for me.
Edit-add'l note after thinking more on this further:
I feel like music today just isn't what it was 20-30-40 years ago. There haven't been any bands that I'm like "OMG I HAVE to go see them!" Not saying there isn't good music out there not but I feel like my generation (I'm 30) hasn't produced the quantity of legendary bands of yesteryear. Just my random thoughts.

I can’t remember them all but I’ve been to a bunch of heavy metal, hair band, country and lately Christian concerts. Even been a rapper or two (really not my thing) but the one thing I realize now is how much hearing loss I have and how certain frequencies really hurt. I’m sure it is from never caring about it when I was younger.

Dave Matthews Band about 5/6 times, Zac Brown Band, and a ton of small country bands such as Luke Combs before he got big...I like to see the 10/15$ bands in hopes they get big someday

Will just list my favorites by genre George Strait - all that man did was sing for 2 straight hours. Dixie Chicks were with him(prior to them sticking their feet in their mouths). Eric Clapton Motley Crue Drivin N Cryin Shook hands with Faith Hill from stage before she became super famous. Had a drink with Tone Loc at a club in Grand Forks, ND and then hung out in airport the next morning. My Dad saw Elvis in his high school auditorium in 1955. He only played 30 minutes before the school's Principal shut him down for "gyrating too much"......my how times have changed. Pretty interesting article about the show and Elvis's early years http://www.mobilebaymag.com/Mobile-Bay/July-2011/ELVIS-The-Early-Years/

Nobody seen Elvis?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

My first was Styx, Queen, Hank, Statler Bros, Willey Nelson. I never got into concerts. Too loud and the Ganga smoke always ruined It for me

I had a job setting up and breaking down concerts in Birmingham during high school and college. Was fun job, got to see a lot of shows, they gave us a tshirt from every show. Finally piled up so I high I believe I gave them all to Goodwill. No way I could stay up that late now.

I didn't drink a Funky Cold M with him, but yes, that was him. I guess when you are broke, you go where they'll pay you. It was -32 one day during the week and warmed up to a balmy -20. December is a beyotch, but money is money.
