What's your choice for the greatest concert of all time?

Have to be the original Woodstock 1969. Look at the performers list!

Did you notice the ticket price for the 3 day concert? Eighteen bucks! My how times have changed!

I've seen Fantomas and Mr Bungle live a few times. They tear it down.

Queen's comeback tour--Wembley 1986 is quite spectacular. Wish youtube had better cuts of it.

I got the home video though :-P

For shows I've actually seen live...Alan Parsons Live Project was a trip

Good call on that one. Here's a modern day version of that, well, the part when they decided to turn the power off on Metallica. BTW, yeah, I was there. For the full show(be warned, it's awful audio and video quality) look up Metallica riot 7 24 88. I have trouble imagining that youthful person I once was that actually ventured into this fray. What a fool I was but I have one interesting memory from that day to be sure.

a reply to: TheSpanishArcher I made only one Metallica concert and that was in San Francisco Cow Palace. In sixty nine I also went to the big free concert staring the Stones at the race track called Altamont in the hills east of the Bay Area. The one where the Hells Angels were hired as security and paid with beer. They ended up punching out some of the Jefferson Airplane members and killed at least one person.
