It's that post draft, boring offseason stretch so for shits and giggles (and because we have a wide array of folks here)...what is the greatest concert experience you've ever had? Or give me your top 2 or 3..

For me;

1. Tool- Always been one of my favorite bands ever, but if you've never been there to experience it live, because it is an experience, you are missing out. They sound absolutely incredible and the AI generated graphics playing in the background with the light show...wow. It's like a heavier modern day Pink Floyd and one of the things you are glad you got to experience once in your life and you feel bad for the folks who never got to. 

2. AC/DC- I've seen them 3 times, with the first being the Ball Breaker tour in 1996. I'll never forget the wrecking ball swinging, hitting the brick wall to reveal a garage door that swung open and Angus strutting out blasting Back in Black. I was deaf for 3 days after that show, but what an experience..

3. Primus- A band that truly does not get the credit for the incredible musicians they are. I see them every time they tour and they always deliver. Les Claypool is the greatest bassist on the planet and watching him hit those strings live is amazing. I met Les last year and he couldn't have been a nicer dude.

Let's see some good lists and if you have any hidden gems to recommend, let me know.

Lots of good stuff here. I'm going to be seeing Pearl Jam next week

Saw Pearl Jam in a quonset hut at the fairgrounds in Bozeman, MT right after Ten came out. It was about 90 degrees outside and at least 120 inside. Great show though. They play Montana a lot. Jeff Ament is from there.
