Last night the wife, daughter and I went to our local House of Blues to hear "country rapper" Colt Ford. Without a doubt in my 46 years, this was the best damn concert I have ever been to. Along with the opening band Southern Blue, Colt Ford and his band ROCKED the house. The place was elbow to elbow. If you ever get a chance to go see him it would be well worth the money. If you aren't familiar with his music here are a couple of
samples.

yeah man I love Colt Ford. I'm gonna see him if he ever makes it out to Tampa
-
i am going see david alan coe saturday night!
-
Hopefully David is doing better. When he was here during Harley week he sat on a stool the whole concert and had to be assisted off the stage. I understand from a friend of mine who knows him it was due to a pretty bad back injury. All in all he still puts on a hell of a concert.

That was like the time Robmeister and I saw Bo Diddly play with The Railbenders in Denver. Bo had to sit down the whole time, but still rocked!
-
I saw Jimi Hendrix 3 times in Dallas. Those concerts would be 1, 2, and 3 in my pecking order.
-
back in the late 80's I used to go watch Stevie Ray Vaughn at Antone's in Austin. He'd play 4 nights a week. Wow was he something.

Hands down would be Genesis ~ 1983. The light show was worth the price of admission.
-
Probably 1999 Rancid on the Warped Tour in Little Rock, Arkansas. I don't go to a ton of concerts, generally they are expensive and too crowded. I enjoyed seeing "Sick of it All" in Dallas 07 too.

old school hardcore. awesome!
My best show was either Misery Signals in 2005 or The Acacia Strain in 2006. Those shows were NUTS.

I do consider myself lucky. I got to see Cream, Janis, Led Zepplin, The Eagles as an opening act for Jethro Tull, Chicago opened for Hendrix..... I can go on and on. Great times and even better memories.

Took my boys to see The Who a few years ago at the Casino here in CT. Zack Starky was the drummer and he did a great job even if he isn't Keith Moon. As old as they are they rocked me to my soul.
Tomorrow night I take the boys to the first concert at Citi Field in NYC (Home Of The Mets) to see Paul McCartney. I was 8 when the Beatles played in Shea Stadium and wasn't allowed to go so this is very exciting to me.
-
Best concert for me would be a tie between Willie Nelson's Pre-4th of July Picnic (Ray Price came on stage right before him as a surprise... AWESOME) and George Jones. Both were birthday presents for my dad from my brother and I. George Jones was this year... Willie Nelson was about 3 or 4 years ago.

Wow amazing stuff. I was just listening to The Eagles and Zepplin. Jethro Tull is a name less heard of in the age group where I'm from and its a shame.
I've only been to 3 in the last 2 years. Killswitch Engage and KoRn who are completely different to those that you've mentioned but also legends in their own fields. :XX I also saw Vast who had an up coming punk band just before them who were alright but after the third song seemed that they only consisted of the exactly same sound and lyrical themes and was hard to discern between songs when they would link one into the other. Just seemed like one long and tiring song. I didn't stay long at that gig though which is a shame because I love the acoustics in that place. But I was tired and a long way from home. In fact a 2 hour train journey and 2 tubes (or was it 3... can't remember)
