A local radio station usually throws the most bitchin' ass shows.

Mudvayne, Papa roach, Kid rock, Korn, Hinder Red jumpsuit apparatus, breaking benjamin, 10 years, skindred, trapt, buck cherry, sum 41, 3 doors down, staind, sevendust, A7X..
Not all at one show, these are just the big names that come to mind, over 3 years. Every year I buy a pack of cigs, throw them out and sneak 20 joints in through security. Not bad at all for an all day fall music festical with tickets around $25 - $35 a pop.

It was great while it lasted. Especially there 10 year birthday show. But the radio station just changed formats and ended there sponsorship of the event. They replaced it with an oldies station. Hoping the radio station that put them out of business will come up with something to fill the void.

It sucks that they put the only other rock station out of business, but it was halarious the way they talked mad shit about the competition after they announced they were going off the air.
Every thirty minutes they'd say somethin like "How many competitors have YOU put out of business this year?

Not much of a story, as it was in a strict non-smoking venue and I was under 21 but when I saw The Roots live in a room with < 1,000 people about 100 feet away from the stage, it was spectacular.

I absolutly love The Roots! QuestLove is an awesome groove drummer and Black Thought is one of my favorite emcees, as well as one of the best live performing rap artists so it was a great show.The guitarist even did some guns and roses solos; every band member performed solos.

Excellent show overall, great view, great acoustics and performance was everything I thought it would be and more

Winnipeg huh? last show I seen was in wpg. july 4th A perfect circle, 2nd row in the concert hall, amazing! Tool july 4th the year before also amazing, I waited nearly 15 years for them to come up here. It was better than I expected and the fact that we had a lesbian side show going on beside us the whole night. :) Seen the tragically hip 3or 4 times in the 90's don't really remember them tho having way too much fun! Lost my hat in bathroom when I passed out seconds before pulling it out to pee.

Up until about 3 yrs ago - Metallica had been the best band I had seen live -- Then there was Godsmack!!! BEST LIVE SHOW EVER!!!
It was a smaller show - so they did an accoustic show -- The sound was phenomenal!!! They gave me chills and the hair stood up all over!!
The other kewl thing - because it was a smaller show - they had a time of audience interaction where they answered questions!!

Saw Days of the New and Candlebox as well -- Both of those shows also phenomenal sounding -- Great Live performers!!! :)

I have been to many concerts. Mostly rock/metal. Some have been... both Summer Sanitarium tours that came through S.F.... The first Family Values tour with Korn, Limp Bizkit, Rammstein, Orgy and Ice Cube. Godsmack with Deftones, Puddle of Mudd, System of a Down, Flyleaf and Stone Sour. Also, Godsmack with Rob Zombie.

My all time favorite was in the summer of 96. Metallica played @ Slim's in San Francisco. Me and a buddy were the first to go into the club. To the left, along the wall as you walked in was a setup for a raffle. As I was checkin things out, I had seen Kirk Hammett come from behind the stage and walk up to the end of the bar. I grabbed a pen and walked over to get his autograph. Now this was back when the whole band cut off their long hair so I don't know if people didn't recognize him but no one else went over to him...

So I get there, ask for his autograph, and he starts shootin the shit with me!!! Asks me what I though of the new album (Load). I lied and said it rocked. Then he started telling me about this guitar he just got done designing and would be taking it out on the next tour. He was like a kid on Christmas morning. His excitement as he was telling me the design and shit was unreal, talking to me like I'm his best friend. The concert was great but that experience, for me, will never be topped. How often does one get to have a conversation like that with one of the greatest guitar players ever???

For those that are familiar with Kirk and his guitars, it turned out to become one of, if not, the most recognized of his axes...
