(September 6, 2014 at 5:18 pm)JesusHChrist Wrote: Pink Floyd in Hyde Park.
Hendrix at Isle of Wight.
These two would be on my list as well.
I saw Sabbath in Hyde Park a few months ago and I actually kept thinking about how amazing it would have been to see Pink Floyd at that same location.
But I was glad to have the opportunity to see Ozzy perform before the band quits playing shows due to health and such.
To the rest of you, awesome choices!

My wife has respectfully asked me to include "Peter Gabriel" in best concerts ever.

Seen Queen, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, plenty of others. Would love to see Iron Maiden, but they rarely tour out thus way.

And, I've mentioned this before, and I'll mention this again: if the band who did the soundtrack for Silent Hill 2 ever did a concert in Chicago, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

I would have loved it if this jam became an album and tour;
John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. What more needs be said?

I thought of another one. Dangerous World tour, Bucharest, Romania. 1992. I've seen the concert video and I would have loved to be there. I've apparently been a Michael fan since I was in utero. My mum said when Thriller came on, I would kick more. Ha. Silly fetus.
