Greatest Concerts

I had a caller on the Workforce Lunch about a week ago wondering what were some of the greatest concerts I've seen. I named a few, but told him that I would post a blog in a few days and list ten, in no order. It took me awhile to think back to all fo the shows I went to. I'm nearing 200 at this point since '87. I think I came up with ten. Again, no real order except it's the ten I feel were the best I've attended...

Butch Walker/Damone - New York City - Bowery Ballroom - 2005

Def Leppard - New York City - Irving Plaza - 2002

Bon Jovi/Cinderella - Philly - Spectrum - 1987 (my first concert ever)

Stone Temple Pilots - Latrobe, PA - Rolling Rock Town Fair - 2001

Foo Fighters - Philly - Spectrum - 2008

Def Leppard - New York City - Beacon Theater - 2003

Butch Walker - Philly - TLA - 2006

Van Halen - Philly - Wachovia Center - 2004

Def Leppard/Tesla - Philly - Spectrum - 1987

System of a Down - Camden - Tweeter Center - Ozzfest - 2002

and ten more I couldn't leave out...

Def Leppard - Allentown - Fairgrounds - 1999

Stone Temple Pilots - Philly - Spectrum - 1996

Audioslave - Camden - Tweeter Center - 2003

Motley Crue/Cheap Trick - Philly - Spectrum - 1997

Poison/Cinderella/Dokken/Slaughter - Wilmington, DE - KahunaVille - 2000

Scorpions/Alice Cooper - Camden - Tweeter Center - 1996

Matchbox 20/Train - Camden - Tweeter Center - 2000?

Billy Joel - Philly - Wachovia Center - 2005

Van Halen - Philly - Wachovia Center - 2007

Tom Petty/Black Crowes - Camden - Tweeter Center - 2005

and these artists weren't so bad either...

The Darkness, Buckcherry, Warrant, Velvet Revolver, Metallica, Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams, Skid Row, Veruca Salt, Bush, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Korn, Rob Zombie, Kid Rock, Airbourne, Nickelback, Seether, Cheap Trick, 3 Doors Down, Aerosmith, Joan Jett, and Heart.

Just too much many. But I can name a few artists that I thought totally sucked...

Third Eye Blind, Crazytown, ZZ Top, The Unband, and Tripping Daisy.

I guess I listed more then ten. Lots of shows. And more to come. Iron Maiden next...
