First - Amy Grant
Favorite - U2 at Soldier Field, 2009
Honorable Mention - I recently caught the Eagles reunion tour. I'm not a big fan of their music (I'm far too young LOL), but the show was pretty amazing for a bunch of old guys recovering from years of the hard stuff. 
Worst - Nickleback. I got free tickets and unfortunately brought a date who was a fan. Had to drink heavily to make it through.

My first concert was Huey Lewis and the News "Fore" tour

Favorite is really hard to say. It all depends on who you are with and some concerts are different than others and can't be compared but


Bryan Adams - Bare Bones Tour

He plays his tunes with only a guitar and sometimes with a piano accompanying him no big lights or effects just playing music. It was really cool. I saw that maybe 3 years ago

Can't remember who played the first but I'm pretty sure it was  in '86 at the Spectrum

Favorite = either - REM, Green tour '89 at the Spectrum.  Or INXS at the TLA in the early '90s.  It was a fun show where you could pretty much walk up to the stage at any point.  There were only a few hundred tickets available.    They played a lot of their older stuff and it had more of a feeling of being at a party listening to a band then a show.

I've been to one or two good concerts in the past few years(Elton John and Billy Joel tour was great) but seeing live acts when you're in your late teens packs more of a punch for me.

Think my first was Heart at the Sioux City Auditorium in 1975 or 76. Think Head East was the warmup band.

Favorite concert, can't remember.

My first concert was in 1974.   Elton John.   He was still just an up and coming act.     Best concert was 1977.  Queen.  The opening act was Thin Lizzy.    It was at the Omni in Atlanta.     I've seen numerous Jimmy Buffett concerts.   Oingo Boingo  was tops, also.   Many more concerts up until the mid 90's.        Saw an ACDC concert and was deaf for three days  afterward.    Will not risk damaging my hearing again. 

Those were some good times.   

Hmmm,      Miss me some Oingo.   

 

To think I first saw Oingo on the Gong Show....     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX58oJsrd-E
