Many saying Tool and I've heard the same. I'll have to check that out when I'm able.

Incredible experience... I think 2010 in NO or 2012 in Dallas may be my favs

Although 2007 NO when they played Flood was epic....

I was at this show and thought it was pretty boring, though better than the BR show earlier that year. I don't think I've listened to them since.

Yes. That show was epic. Rage Against the Machine certainly was the most energetic crowd I've ever been in.

I met Tom Morello at the Parish Room in 2007 after a Nightwatchman show. I was surprised by how short he was. Had a minute convo with him. Cool dude.

Metallica (3x)
Tool (2001 and Lollapalooza but 2001 better)
Queensryche (2x but the best was 1991 - Operation Mindcrime and Empire played in entirety back to back)

ETA:

Hit submit too soon.

Concrete Blonde (4x but best was with Mexican Moon in 1993 before Johnette's voice started dropping off)
Cat Power (2x)
Ray Charles (at a benefit in 1998)

Not "rock" - Cat Power, Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos are all tremendous live performers.

U2 at the Pmac fricking rocked. No fancy light shows or shite like that. Still remains my favorite concert to this day. It was like you could just feel the power in the music. They filled the space.

Pink Floyd at the Dome was damn cool, too. 2nd best for me.

Rolling Stones I guess would be 3rd, but they rushed through their songs like speed demons. Didn't like that, but the show was good.
