Best concert is a toss-up between KISS (Destroyer Tour 1976) and Van Halen (Either the Women and Children First or Diver Down tours). Worst was by far The Cars. They just stood in the EXACT SAME SPOTS for 90 minutes, JOHN

Best concert experience was Rush during the first leg of the Snakes and Arrows Tour a couple of years ago (never can go wrong with Rush - they always put on a great show).
Don't really have a worst concert, though I've seen a few opening acts that have threatened to kill the night."It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

Best- Barenaked Ladies at the XCel Energy Center, August 21st, 2001. I met the woman I would marry there.
Worst- Barenaked Ladies at the XCel Energy Center, August 21st, 2001. I lost all my closet space that night."If you take a dog which is starving and feed him and make him prosperous, that dog will not bite you. This is the primary difference between a dog and a man."

Best is a hard one. It's a toss up between The Kinks' Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One Tour, Bob Marley's Survival Tour, Rod Stewart's Infatuation Tour, Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour (with Peter Gabriel), and numerous Edmonton Folk Festivals.
The Kinks were "passe" in early 1970 and had booked a number of smaller cities for their upcoming Tour, then the album's title song took off. It was my first ever concert. The Edmonton Folk Fest had been labeled by the Rolling Stone as "the Hippest Folk Fest in the World" and over the years I saw Ry Cooder playing with his son and David Lindley on a sunny afternoon, danced to Los Lobos in the pouring rain, and ogled a 40 year old Bonnie Raitt in tight blue jeans who had recently gotten clean and sober. Man did she look good!
And from my perspective, 20 years later she still looks good...
Worst is a tie between Fleetwood Mac's Mystery to Me tour in 1974 (FM had cancelled the Tour but their manager at the tiime brought in another band and tried to pass them off as FM), and The Police's Synchronicity Tour. We had terrible seats overlooking backstage and I witnessed Andy Summers having a running temper tantrum on some guitar tech for the entire concert. That man is one big center of a set of butt-tocks!90, Joe 90.... Great Shakes : Milk Chocolate -- Shaken, not Stirred.Comment
