Ok this was my favorite but for a wired reason
At the World Music Theatre to see Scorpions and Queensryche. It's storming like nobody's business but we have the gold seats and are covered completely from the elements. A security person comes by to personally tell us that there are funnel clouds being reported all around us and to seek shelter. Where's that gonna be???
Anyways the one guy in our party says that if the crowd panics he's running right for the stage and taking a guitar. We're all looking around to see the funnel clouds. Weirdest sky I've ever seen but no funnels. The guy with us is literally looking like a track star ready to make a break for the stage.

I'm embarrassed I never saw Maiden. Fucking amazing performers, benchmark for any metal band IMO.

I've always been kind of pissed that I never saw Tool perform. I hear they throw a great concert.

Turns on snob meter. Saw them by accident at jabberwocky in LA in 1992. Had no idea who they were though

My favorite teams
In no particular order
GWAR
Flogging Molly
Stone Temple Pilots (I moderately like their music, but they sounded perfect live, so they make the list)
Primus
Rancid

You need to understand that I rarely give out thanks and sustained a full-on, chip-toothing boner when looking at this list. Fuckin' Jesus Lizard <3. I remember seeing David Yow at Laurie's Planet of Sound in Chicago and I was ironically wearing a Scratch Acid shirt. He said, "Thanks kid."
Oh, and "Brooklyn and Queens, represent. Represent-sent."

Jesus Lizard apparently reunited again after how much good press they got from their '08-'10 shows. Hopefully they'll come close enough that I can go.

My wife went with me and even though she didn't care for the music she really liked the stage show. It was the Somewhere in Time/Flight 666 tour.

True, but for a subset of the genre, the NWOBHM. IMO Metallica are the gold standard, although I concede they have not aged well.

Talking Heads, Kingswood Canada's Wonderland (Speaking in Tongues)
Peter Gabriel, Pine Knob (So)
King Crimson, Massey Hall, (Three of a Perfect Pair)
Medeski, Martin, Scofield and Wood , Commodore Ballroom
Charlie Hunter w/ the Coalition of the Willing, Richard's on Richards
Special mention
Herb Ellis, Yardbird Suite, Edmonton- played with a young local guitarist who was absolutely beaming with joy. Watching an old hand like this in a small bar, his liverspotted hands up and down the neck of his guitar, his generosity with younger musicians was remarkable.
All Canada list
Saga
Rush
Max Webster
The Hip
