Best solo concert was NIN in Albany NY in 1994. The stage show and the light show were just crazy as well as the audience. This was an indoor concert with reserved seating and with floor seating higher priced. As soon as NIN went on stage, people from the cheap seats stormed the barriers to the floor and turned the floor space into a huge mosh pit. The only negative was that people were waiting for an encore for about 10 minutes when finally the house lights went on and there was an announcement that the concert was over because somebody in the audience threw a show and hit the drummer in the head causing a concussion.
Worst solo concert was a double bill with Lynyrd Skynrd and Hank Williams Jr. The music was mediocre, and between songs the screen behind the band lit up with the band's name, I guess so you wouldn't forget who was playing.
Worst solo that was my own fault was Bruce Springsteen's Seeger Sessions tour. I was so interested in seeing Bruce that I didn't realize this was a folk song tour oriented around Pete Seeger songs. Just not my type of concert. I did see Bruce in concert playing his own songs a couple years later and that was a good concert.
Best overall concerts were the Woodstock '94 and Woodstock '99, just for the insanity of it all. NIN played at Woodstock '94 and basicallly was the show Saturday night. Metallica followed NIN and my attitude was who's Metallica?
This is why
