Pink Floyd 1994 Oakland Coliseum. It wasn't my favorite concert but for entertainment value, hard to beat.

I was at those shows. I remember it being cold as hell. Pete Wernick sat it on banjo the first night. 2nd night was one of the all time greatest shows.
I got arrested leaving the venue by Colorado Highway Patrol after the 2nd night. Charged with DUI(drugs). We were completely wasted. Sat in the drunk tank in downtown Denver. There is an experience I'll never forget

definitely this. the 'remain in light' halloween show in '96 is a close second, as is the great went in '97.

if we're talking entertaining from strictly a visual perspective, i guess i'd add AC/DC, kiss, and U2 ('pop' tour)...

Allen stone at voodoo 13'. It was a small crowd, so he could interact. He got everyone to put their hands in the air and transfer all their worries and cares to him. On the count of 3 we threw it at him, and he hit the floor and twitched around for a bit, then jumped up and finished the song. Crowd loved it.

I had heard the name before bet never actually listened.

The production was wild, they have a real industrial sound is the only way I could think of to describe it. Big production and it was so much fun.

New Orleans 1993 Depeche Mode Devotional Tour. This was pre-internet spoiler era and the stage setup and setlist was sublime. Not to mention Dave looking like a long haired rocker. Most entertaining show I've seen by far. Lead singer almost dying between the main set and encore was pretty insane as well. Saw them again in 94 in Biloxi...surprised Dave Gahan could put two words together. Dude was some kind of fricked on herion at that period.

Crossroads 2013. MSG.

Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Gary Clark Jr, Sonny Landreth, Buddy Guy, Robbie Robertson, Eric Clapton and many more.

And the surprise guest Keith Richards wasn't bad either.
