Suicidal Tendencies/Fight/Candlebox/Metallica -- outdoor, 1994... amazing. 1st concert sans parents, got kicked in the head on the edge of a mosh pit, opening of One blew me away. I can't hear that song without thinking of the concert.
Fleetwood Mac -- indoor, 1994. My dad and I went. Stevie Nicks was awesome but Mick Fleetwood's drum solo has stuck with me.
Smashing Pumpkins -- indoor, Ice Palace/Tampa, 1995ish? Mellon Collie Tour. Billy Corgan is wonderfully bizarre. Loved this.
Dave Matthews -- Indoor, T.D. Waterhouse/Orlando, 2000. My first second-hand high. Dave was awesome. Leroy was... beyond words.
and then concerts were kinda meh until a few years ago.
Eric Johnson -- Indoor, Freebird Live/Jax Beach (yeah, that "Freebird"), 2007. Never heard the man before. But it was something I can't ever fully comprehend. The company was perfect, the sound awesome, three feet from the man, and he not only played me Cliffs of Dover but also May This Be Love/Waterfall. I'll never, ever forget it.
and, honorable mention to 311 who put on a really fun show at the St. Augustine Amphitheater in May. It was a blast. And Hexum sang me Amber while I stood there with the man that used to sing me that song in the shower.
