So, a few days ago I went to a concert as part of the Music As A Weapon IV tour. It included Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, Killswitch Engage, and Chimaira. It was great show because the acoustics in the stadium were great, and Disturbed and Lacuna Coil both had great vocals and Guitar playing. I just wanted to see what other people thought of as the best concert they've been to.

If you decide to post here, please explain why you thought it was so good, because otherwise it's useless information.

The O2 wireless festival I think 2006. Great show the first concert I went to. The Zutons were ok as were the Flaming lips and super furry animals but the headliners were The Who and they are still great live it was unbelievable

Bit of a toss up. Saw Muse play at the KeyArena in Seattle a couple years back; the following year I saw Jarvis Cocker play at the commodore ballroom - smaller venue, but very cool - wicked showmanship.

I think I'd have to settle on watching Amon Tobin run a set in the commodore though. They brought out speakers and put a massive monolith of a sub in the middle of the floor. Amon Tobin in 5.1. Awesome.

The best concert I have been to has to be Iron Maiden last year.But I saw Opeth a few months ago and they were also amazing.

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the Led Zeppelin concert 2 years back. It was incredible.

I also got my hands on some VIP tickets for the Chili Peppers' Hyde Park concerts, which were also excellent.

My third favourite would have to be Tiesto at Alexandra Palace. Awesome night.

I haven't been to a whole lot of concerts, but I saw this revival of Beatlemania, and the musicians sounded exactly like the Beatles, and they played all of their best songs. It was really cool to see the solo on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps!'
