Any one of several Slayer concerts, not the biggest fan of their albums, but their live show is kick ass.
Lamb of God had a pretty good show.
Killswitch Engage sounds amazing live, too bad most of their shit after the 1st album has gone downhill.
Children Of Bodom puts on an amazing show, although sometimes theyre so drunk that I'm not sure how they play what they do.

Every single band you named kicks ass.
Agree with all. KSE started sucking after 1st cd.

If I had a choice which concert to attend it would be:

Monsters of Rock, Moscow 1991
1.6 million people

200 rapes, 11 deaths and countless beatings.

[CalvinH]

Saw that at Giants Stadium.

...but pretty sure it was Kindom Come{sounded like a Zep rip off band}and not Dokken.

[Fortress]

Rob, I saw Fates, at a tiny club in Boston waaay back when "Night on Brocken" came out (1985) 1st row in front of John Arch.. They were unreal.
Rush, I saw many times, I'm going to their tour opening show tomorrow in Manchester, NH. (Free parking at my bud Ted Arcidi's place).
Never saw Accept, wish I had.. Huge fan from back in the day...

My favorite was 1983 - Molly Hatchet and The Outlaws, outside in Kingston New Hampshire fairgrounds.
Salem MA Hells Angels were everywhere partying it up..

Damn, I'm getting old..

~Dave

Wow, what I wouldn't do to see Fates ALL the way back when you did.

Hope you have/had fun at the Rush gig. 

[Fortress]

holy shit that takes me back!

loved them. never saw them in concert though

The band quite simply rocked shit out live. The records don't do the band justice (and I do love the albums).

If you're interested, the guitar player, Greg Fraser, and bassist, Stevie, now record as Fraze Gang. The second CD, Fraze Gang 2, was just released. It's pretty cool. My only complaint is Greg sings and his voice kinda bugs me.

It was both Kingdom Come and Dokken.

I hate to admit it but I bought that cassette.

[Moontrane]

Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble at the Beacon Theater in Dec 1984. 2nd row,  just left of center aisle.

Mike Stern at the 55 Bar more times than I can recall.

Jaco Pastorius at the Blue Note

Joe Henderson at Fat Tuesdays

[Grape Ape]

Best concerts I saw were at small clubs:

Slayer played Atlas in Boston for about 200 people, but the fuckers almost went three hours anyway.  Front "row" standing against a small barricade.

Pantera at some place about the size of a gymnasium.  Fought my way to the font and leaned against the barricade with the crowd pushing for so long I still have a scar right under my chest 18 years later.

Aerosmith, Deep Purple and GnR at Giants stadium for big venues.

Friend of mine was BR's tour bus driver. Told me one time a bunch of hot chicks were following the bus one time because they thought the drummer was Jon Bon Jovi.
