Boy, I’ve been to close to a hundred shows by now. Haven’t seen too many bad ones, luckily.
My favorite ones are usually ones with mosh pits. Hardcore bands have had the best ones in my experience, Agnostic Front and Madball were pretty kickass. Just get in there and fuck people up and get fucked up, there’s no rush in the world like it, haha. But I’ve had a decent time in pits at Rage Against The Machine, Korn a couple of times, Rancid (when they weren’t doing that “circle pit” bullshit…I came here to bang out, wtf, man? Haha), Chevelle, gotta be others I’m blanking on too…. and I’ll tell you what, it was the greatest feat of my life, but I started and maintained a (VERY soft lmao) pit at fucking GREEN DAY😂, basically just getting hype when they played their old stuff, and not letting it die after you had to sit through 2000s Green Day pop songs, haha. How you gonna go from Welcome To Paradise straight into Boulevard Of Broken Dreams?🤦♂️ Anyway, I digress…
For non-pit shows…I loved the ones that were really meaningful to see. Hands down the worst performance was Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys….. but he’s a musical genius, a living legend, and I LOVED The Beach Boys, ever since early elementary school. So seeing him perform, in whatever quality, was unreal.
Seeing Earth, Wind, & Fire and The Isley Brothers, also really cool. I love seeing older generations’ music while they’re still performing/alive. I prioritize them over modern musicians. Some are no longer at their best, but I love seeing people live who I consider foundational to my music tastes, or just venerated legends of a genre, especially pioneers. Eric B & Rakim, that show meant a lot. I was a huge Eminem fan back in the day, like I knew him when he was still underground, a year and a half before he got famous. Never saw him until like 2018, so that was a full-circle moment. Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N Roses…acts that just have too many songs that I like to NOT go see them.
Other shows I loved for their energy. That’s a lot of the aforementioned mosh pit shows, rap is my favorite genre, especially gangsta rap, so that gets me HYPE, lmao. Young Jeezy had me fired up, Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Future together, and seeing Griselda, my favorite group, live, and being able to yell out Westside Gunn’s TOP-SHELF gun sound ad-libs was awesome😂I could listen to a full album of STRAIGHT ad libs…no lyrics, no problem😂😂😂

I had the most fun at ICP concerts, but the most iconic was Poison in 1999. I seen what had to have been 10000 lighters waving back and forth while Every Rose Has it's Thorn was preformed loud and proud!
- First time iron maiden was great best show.
The latter iron maidens i have been to great as well but you can sadly see they are getting old and expecially last concert security was proboematic.
- Nightwish was superb overall theube t even though one of the smaller ones.
- Toten hosen was the best concert feeling and the biggest I have been to.
There are so many, Black Sabbath on their final tour, Iron Maiden several times, Rush (best sounding concert I have ever seen), Judas Priest, Yes, King Crimson, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Lucifer, Dream Theater to name a few.

I saw the Beach Boys at an outdoor concert. This is 30 years ago. Dennis Wilson had died and they got John Stamos to play the drums. It was the last time Brian Wilson toured with the group.
Metallica can put on a show. I loved Michael Bublé and Sting the few times I’ve seen them.
When God sings with his creations, will the tortoise not be among the choir?
Beyonce will always be my favorite.
