I even bought The Carnival of Sins dvd so I can wach 'em agian ad agian but my ex girl friend stole it so I guess there's allways the memories. I'd would have given my left nut to have went to both Rocklahomas but that'll never happen because I am to fucking young to have won the tickets on House of Hair! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-15354 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:32:53 +0000 littledola85 15354@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Come on really everyone knows the answer to this </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-12126 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 02:09:45 +0000 vegaschaos 12126@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>KISS &#38; every tribute band related! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-11304 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:01:21 +0000 aXemAn 11304@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I think the best Live show I've ever seen was Poison! I seen them for the first time last Summer in Muskegon, Michigan at Heritage Landing. They put on an amazing show...loved every second of it. I also wrote a review for it...here it is;</p> <p>Ever since I found out they were coming to Heritage Landing in Muskegon, I just had to go. And it was finally here, the day of the concert. After a long day of waiting, it was finally time to head out for the show. We got there about 5:00pm,(we purchased tickets before hand), so we got in the line, waited and waited, more and more people started to come. Soon, the line was so big, it almost went all the way back to where we parked.<br /> Then it's time, they opened the gates, and we started to file in. We were one of the first ones in line, so we got a great place to stand for the show....we were in the front row! That's right....we were off to the right...in the FRONT ROW! I could not believe how good of a spot we attained. After a little bit more waiting, I soon found out that Ratt was NOT opening for them. I was a dissapointed. Instead of Ratt, the opening act was a local band...Orange October. They did a few good songs(most of them covers), and a couple of their original songs that I could have done without. They did covers like, Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell", and "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield. About an hour later, they were done with their set, and then their was a long break. </p> <p>After the break, it was time for...Poison! They cued the lights, Rikki Rocket appeared, and started a beat on the drums, a few moments later, CC Deville and Bobby Dall ran on stage, playing the opening riffs to "Look What The Cat Dragged In". And then, Bret Michaels emerged from an elevated area. The crowd was electric...they brought so much energy to the show...it was great!<br /> They played all of their hits: "I Want Action", "Fallen Angel", "Ride The Wind", "Something To Believe In", "I Won't Forget You", "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", and they also played a few songs from their recent covers album.."Poison'd". Also, CC and Rikki both played their solos to perfection. With an elevated platform, for the drums. They closed out the show with the song "Talk Dirty To Me". They left the stage, and came back for the encore..."Nothin' But A Good Time". Bret said thank you to the crowd, and said that they wanted to come back next year!<br /> Along with the entertainment on stage, some people in the crowd got a little carried away as well. Such as, a near fight, someone having to be pulled over the front barricade/rail, and escorted out., and other moments that are not "appropriate" to discuss here.</p> <p>But, all in all, everthing sounded pretty good, the guitars loud and on cue, the drums, and Bret's voice. They put on a great stage show, complete with fire and pyro. With energy throughout. What a great experience...it was my first time seeing Poison, and I loved every minute of it. I look forward to seeing them again in the future. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-11245 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:05:45 +0000 EricL 11245@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Best shows Iv'e seen.<br /> Kiss, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Powerman 5000 (1999), Jackyl, Bad Company, Styx, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Skid Row, etc.......</p> <p>Fav Bands I havent seen: AC-DC, Judas Priest, Queen, Twisted Sister (just a few) </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-11236 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:15:02 +0000 LouEno 11236@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>1.

I've seen them several times and they never disappoint. The pyro and lights are great but the way they just give it up every show to make sure you get your money's worth is what keeps me going back to see them live. </p> <p>IMO however, the single greatest concert live is without a doubt, Trans Siberian Orchestra. I'm telling ya they put on a show that will absolutely blow your mind. The light, pyro, and stage presence of all the members is second to none and they sound just as good if not better live then their albums. I see them every year. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-11125 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:20:11 +0000 InASimpleRhyme 11125@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>The greatest show Ive ever been to is a 3-way tie.</p> <p>1.)Seeing Motley crue for the first time<br /> 2.)Seeing Machine Head, Megadeth, and H&#38;H at PNC last year (partly because I managed to sneak into the front row)<br /> 3.)Iron Maiden at the Izod center earlier this month (march).

Summerfest (in Milwaukee) was the best back in the late 80's early 90's. Some of the shows I remember are L.A. Guns, Hericane Alice, Tyketto, Danger Danger,<br /> In recent years, there has been Alice Cooper, Quiet Riot, Jackyl and Firehouse. </p> <p>Anyway, other shows I've seen are Motley Crue, Poison, Mike Tramp from White Lion, Cinderella, Whitesnake, Winger, Slaughter, Kiss, Stryper, Dokken, Ratt, Warrant, Aerosmith, Tesla, Queensryche, Tangier, the Cult, Enuff Znuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, Faster Pussycat, Def Leppard, Damn Yankees, Cheap Trick, Great White and many more. </p> <p>I think the best were Alice Cooper, Poison, Cinderella, and definitely Kiss. Although they are not considered glam, White Zombie put on a great show. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-3983 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 11:16:04 +0000 RichieWristrokkit 3983@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>The best live performance I have ever seen remains to this day:<br /> Slayer 2001, at LaZona Rosa, Austin, TX</p> <p>They had added an extra night due to overwhelming ticket sales. It was an intimate venue for Slayer, unlike the arenas that they usually play. I got right the fuck up front and caught 2 solid hours of a non-stop full balls setlist. The unified and directed energy that they spat out was mind numbing. All the timing, the starts and stops, the trade-off solos, the unisonic head and body thrashes, combined with the untethered trademark power the band possesses, is burned securely in my memory. I'm still getting my moneys worth... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-3604 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 13:22:33 +0000 AniseedRock22350 3604@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>yeah...i hear ya too SickThing...it's costing me alot to get down to see Sweet in February...i have to think of like taxi, accommodation, tickets, food, drink, etc and i know nothing about the place as it is....i'm only 18 and have barely left my county before. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-in-concert/page/2#post-3587 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 04:17:02 +0000 Syndrome477 3587@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"See, this is what sucks about being young.
