Primus, Pixies, Janes Addiction Black leather jackets were flying over-head like manta rays. A skinhead climbed to the top of the lefr ~20 foot tall speaker stack, dove off with his front side facing down. The crowd opened up, he landed on the concrete floor, and was carried out on a stretcher. For some reasonv nearly every woman there was well endowed, and Perry mentioned that on stage. The bands played their hearts out. The group of friends that I went with all had a blast, and we talked about it for days. The first Lollapalooza at Irvine Meadows comes in as a close second, but that might be due to the LSD I took before it started.

Bled Fest 2007 -Skateland Complex in Westland, MI. Tickets were $15 at the door and changed my life forever. Got to see, meet, and party with Animosity, The Faceless, As Blood Runs Black, Beneath The Massacre, and Kissy Face Fashion Faux Pas. 🤘

Best recently was Diamond Cafe

Wow! That’s a legendary lineup!

Nice!

Nine inch nails in 2018 at Aragon I went to all three nights…

I saw them one night in Pittsburgh probably 2014 era? It was a great show, top 5 for me

Too hard to choose. Bon Jovi Bad Medicine Tour 1987. Tesla and Poison 1989. Mötley Crüe Doctor Feelgood Tour 1990. Fear Factory with Slayer 1999. Joe Satriani 2001. Disturbed with Avenged Sevenfold 2011. Trivium 2021. Snoop Dogg and Warren G 2024.

Legendary list 🤘

If I could see one band right now and follow them for a three date leg of a tour right now, it would be Parkway Drive. Their documentary on YT is awesome.

Strapping Young Lad at the Fillmore in Philadelphia. The wall of sound style they had was perfect for that venue. It was years before the accident, and I drove there with my girlfriend at the time and we stayed at a fancy hotel after the show.

you were on acid at the first Lollapalooza?? fucking legend

I haven't been to many. Prob "Neil young" or "the who"

Damn how you remember the years so well?

Yeah, and moshed to Ice-T's "Body Count", which was a complete unadvertised secret band. I had never heard his hip hop before, and that set turned me into a hip hop fan. Prior to that, I had only heard mainstream rap, and hated all of it. When the banners on each side of the stage that said "Original" and "Gangster" flipped around to "Body" and "Count", and the guitars came out. I saw Ice-T break character, point up to the General Admission area, (the only portion without seats), and say "A pit!". I looked to my left, and on the opposite side, saw a cloud of dust that flowed over the seating section below us. I ran over, watching colors smear, as I was now about 3-4 hours into my trip, and joined into the circle that was basically falling down the slope, slamming into the hand rail, and climbing up the slope. LA mosh pits were amazing. Everyone in the circle watches out for one another. There were at least two times when people grabbed me, and picked me up, before I had realized I was falling off balance. The Jane's Addiction stage looked like a yard sale, but parts of the items in the background would come to life, and interact with the band. Leave it to those guys to know that some of their fans would be tripping, and added antics like that to really make it surreal. The other thing that really blew my mind was Siouxsie Sioux's energy. She was in her 40's, running and jumping all over the stage in a body suit the whole time she was singing. During the final song, she was spread-eagle, and bouncing about three feet off the stage, over and over, while letting out the final notes of that song. Her aura was intensely vibrant, and massive.

Can’t pick just one. Tom Petty (Jackson Browne opened) RHCP (Foo Fighters opened) Green Day (Jimmy Eat World opened) Mad Caddies New Rock Fest ‘96 & ‘97 (google it) A few more I’m sure I’m forgetting off-hand, but those are the standouts.

Wow

Nice!

The Cranberries, early 2000s 🙏

Lecrae at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina or Michael W. Smith, outside in the falling snow, at Ichthus in Wilmore, Kentucky

And it took place in an old Laundromat that had been converted to just a 20' x 80' concrete box and it's all General Admission. One hell of a mosh pit.

Nickelback 2004 in a small arena

I saw them at Rolling Rock town fair probably around a similar time
