Im a simple guy. My favorite concert was Moonspell, Apocalyptica, Machine Head and Metallica at the Rock in Rio in Lisbon, 2008. Back in my 20s i used to see big names, and several small rock and metal concerts such as local bands, and a few nationals playing local gigs....everthing from Scorpions to quite popular swedish black metal bands, but now i cant really stand the noise. And im only in my 30s. I grew up lame :P Really, i rather stay at home and noodle on the guitar and drink coffee. Im also starting to apreciate music that i thought was lame. Go figure.
The best concert you been to????

For pure talent, not surprising I suppose, it was Doc and Merle Watson (late '70's) at a really small venue in Memphis, TN. Just the two of them. Super clean, awesome acoustic guitar, crystal clear vocals, and Doc pausing at one time between sets: "where's my A?" - as he dug through a selection of harmonicas - "ah - mint". He then went to explain that (since his "seein' wasn't so good" he flavored his harmonicas so he could "tell 'em apart".

I saw Flogging Molly at a small club in Indianapolis. The energy and crowd participation was incredible. When the first song kicked in the whole club exploded and never stopped. It was kinda funny because security was like WTF. No effects or gimmicks. Just a band and a crowd rocking the hell out!
