Phish - 4th of July 2010 in Atlanta was the most fun I've ever had at a show.


Ya, that was a good one. US Blues preshow music set a great tone for the evening.

Depends on what you mean by most entertaining. My top 4 concert experiences are, in no particular order

1. Pink Floyd at Legion Field in 1994
2. Phish at the Omni in Atlanta 10/31/96
3. Sigur Ros this past winter in Birmingham
4. The entire Oak Mt run for Widespread Panic in 2001

All 3 were great for different reasons. Phish was the most fun I've had at one show, WSP at Oak Mt in 2001 was the craziest weekends of my life, Pink Floyd and Sigur Ros were both the most musically blown away I've ever been at a concert. I had to pick my jaw up off the ground after both of them.

Not sure if serious. I'd rather attempt to chop my balls off with a spork for 6 hours.

Beastie Boys - San Antonio 1998


I was there.




I was so fricked up...I didnt realize the stage was rotaing until after the show.

I jumped from the balcony to the floor.

Got a deep puncture wound and bled like a stuck pig.

3 years later particles from whatever stabbed me pushed its way out of the scar...

Peter Gabriel, Houston, 1982, Security tour

Shock the Monkey was pretty wild, with Tony Levin wearing a wig that Gabriel pulled off at the end of the song. Plus all the animated light stands, etc.

I was there. the show in oakland was much better but it might have been the drugs.

i had a great time at sasquatch in 2010.

The best shows I have been too are: RHCP/Pearl Jam/Smashing Pumpkins ; Sonic Youth/Pavement ; Pela.

Pela was probably the most entertaining. They got 3/4 of the audience to take off their shirts, including women. That was a treat. They also got physically kicked off the stage by management for playing too long.

When my bloody valentine blew the speakers at FYFEst last year that was lame but also kinda cool.

The most entertaining show I've ever seen was George Thurgood at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio.

The most fun I've had at a concert was Percy Sledge at the Purple Peacck in the late 70's

Everyone jammed with Fogerty on CCR tunes. Wouldn't let him leave the stage. Was awesome.

1991 palooza in Dallas.


I was there. I still have ticket stub. It was my 18th birthday.

I just remember it being crazy hot during the day. I was on the lawn. I didn't even know who Jane's Addiction was at the time and they blew me away.

The fires on the lawn were kind of weird. Not sure what that was about. There must've been a dozen or so fires, people burning shirts and chairs and shite.

SCI and Panic in St. Louis in 2001. They played the night before in K.C. with Panic opening and SCI headlining and it was a good show. The next night in STL SCI opened and when Panic came out half of SCI just stayed on stage. The rest of the show there were always like 10 guys out there and by the encore both full bands were playing together

Phish at the McNichols Arena in '97.

My crew and I rolled into the lot early that afternoon in our dark green '89 Dodge Caravan. The scene was pretty gnarly. It was a complete free-for-all (or at least it was where our van was) When it came showtime we all headed in with a bag full deems and cheese. By that point we were already pretty tossed form the lot so we decided to not pace ourselves. At some point during Circus some deranged looking wook monster offered me some kitty. I was fricked. The show itself was hands down one of the greatest I had ever seen them play and the substances made it that much wilder.

Nothing like seeing a band you love with the people you love on a frickload of drugs you love

Loved that venue. Saw Jerry and the boys there in '91 or '92.
