saw the Dead in 94 at portland meadows, chuck berry opened. freaking outstanding concert! downside, 2 day "hangover" and 6 month fear of contracting an std. it all worked out though..

2nd: neil young, pearl jam, and blind melon. same place and same year

Beatles in '64

More like my best string of concerts...I wasn't allowed to go to shows until I turned 12...my birthday is in April. By the end of June I had seen Iron Maiden (Twisted Sister opened ), Judas Priest (Great White opened, who managed to suck even worse then than they did after they made it "big"), Ozzy Osbourne...and then Iron Maiden again.

Later that summer I hit up AC/DC, George Thorogood, Steve Miller, and Fleetwood Mac. I was also pleasantly surprised to see Journey and find out that they were pretty damn good live, since I wasn't a fan at the time. I saw Queensryche, who I thought sucked...still do.

It was a good summer...I fondly remember the days when Seattle was *the* place for heavy metal bands to visit.

Fish on...

Radiohead. I saw them a few times, and have always been blown away. The time after the Kid A release I saw them at WRAmpitheatre, and they killed it. Tom (or is it Thom) Yorke can really blow.

Rage Against the Machine at the gorge. It would have been an even better show if Wu Tang hadn't of dropped out of the tour, but The Roots were a perfect substitute.

Petty was pretty good years ago. Pearl Jam was tough to beat though. Always wanted to see metalica but never go the chance.

Bobby Bare was awesome at Bumpershoot 1984......Charlie Daniels wasn't too shabby over at Pullman either about the same time period.

I saw Charlie Daniels once too. He was very entertaining. I was on the floor and my date had a hard time seeing around all the cowboy hats.

god damn Todd! that sounds like a bitchin summer for a 12 year old!

what I would give to see Judas priest live.... I saw Rob Halford's band Fight..........lets just say it was weird

Santana at the Gorge in 89' or Zappa Plays Zappa at the Paramount last year. Musta seen the Dead and String Cheese Incident close to 30 times each with alot of good memories. Iron Maiden has always been great live as has been Slayer. -TBJ

1980 summer jam in seattle.. Blue Oyster Cult headlined it.. wow was that ever a crazy couple days..

Bill Graham Momorial Concert - Free in GG Park, the dead, CSNY, John Fogerty, Santana, tons of others and guest appearances... sad loss, great show.

SRV right before he died.

ZZ top is always a good show as is AC/DC and NOFX

Slayer - War at the Warfield show.

NYE 1990 - Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nirvana, Pearl Jam

Ben Harper at the Paramont '07

Old Crow Medicine Show every time since I first saw them in '06

Back in like I don't know maybe 91', I saw Pantera during their cowboys shows. They opened for Skid Row. Then I saw them again when Sepultura opened for them during the Vulgar shows.

Saw Nirvana and Pearl Jam so many times I couldn't count.

Now that I think of it, the coolest show ever was a small one. Mark Lanegan solo with Duff Mackagen, Dave Dederer, Ben Shepard, Barret Martin, and the guitarist from Dinosaur Jr.!!!! That was a great show.

Lots of shows at Filmore West and Winterland in the late 60's.

Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Paramount.

Santana at the Arena early 80's.

five or six years ago I saw Kenny Wayne Sheppard....opened for BB King....phenominal version of Voodoo Chile.

Barry Manilow 2003 Las Vegas.

Pearl Jam followed by Neal Young at the Gorge.

A riot broke out and the Gorge lost their insurance for a couple of years until they completed the current configuration.

It was fall with a rising full moon as NY played, wait for it.......................

Harvest Moon!

I've been to a lot of concerts and that what was by far and away the best!

Pantera opening for Skid Row.



That's like Motorhead opening for Winger.

...or Tiffany opening for the Black Eyed Peas.
