Uuuuh with all the awesome gigs in the early Dynamo days, that's a real hard one!! I think my favorite was the first Testament show in Europe, two days before the Dynamo festival, in the Dynamo club! 1987 that was... Another favorite was the famous Slayer gig in Dynamo in '85 and the first European Metallica gig at the Aardschokfestival in..... was that 1984? (Hawk, help me out here )
Or Overkill in 1986, or or or..... too many to mention

If there's anything I regret in my life it's that I never made a list of ALL the shows I EVER attended!!!!!!

I am so jealous of some of you guys. Reason being that I was only born in 1985. If I could have only been born around 1970 I'd be set.

Well I got into metal during the summer of 2000. I went to my first two concerts this year. I saw Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth in August and King's X/Joe Satriani/Dream Theater in September. Of the two shows I saw so far I liked the Roth/Hagar better. It was just so metal and a killer first show for me. The only thing I liked about the Dream Theater show was Dream Theater. I thought King's X sucked and Joe was good but just not really my thing.

I am going to see Blind Guardian and Symphony X in November. I have high hopes for that show.

Too bad it wasn't a month earlier, Dark Angel (with Gene Hoglan, Jim Durkin and Ron Rienhardt) will be playing Dec 7... I can't miss that one....

Xenophobe, DON'T miss the support act, Into Eternity either!!!!! They are fucking unbelievable!!

Damn how I'd love to see those shows.. I'd kill to see Into Eternity ín this new lineup and hear the new songs that are apparently awesome.. but I'd KILL to see Dark Angel, because I've never seen them before!!! When I was chatting with Gene recently he said they were in Europe several times back then, but I can't remember that. Must've missed them for some reason, but I can't even recall that - pretty strange since it's a band I've always loved!! Anyway... don't miss them, don't miss Into Eternity (and say hi from me heh heh), and have FUN!!!

My personal favorite show ever was:
Metallica/Queensryche - spring 1990 (I think) during the And Justice For All tour. Queensryche was in support of MindCrime at that time as well. 3+ hours of PURE metal bliss!

I saw that show. I've never been sooo intoxicated in my life. I drank so much everclear on the ride to St. Louis I couldn't walk.

 

[Bucko]

Deep Purple Dec 1984 Sydney Entertainment Centre , drove 12 hours from Bourke (small country town in N.S.W) four mates in ute drinkin longknecks of Beer all the way...........

 

[d-nurse]

Iron Maiden - Kerkrade 1983
Kiss - Leiden 1980 (with Maiden supporting)
Thin Lizzy - PinkPop Festival 1978 (+ Mothers Finest and Journey)

 

[Stoner Sioux]

Probably the Obituary/Cannibal Corpse show in 1992. That was the first time I ever stage dived at a show.

Another top contender is the Metallica show in 1991 where they just did a show by themselves with no support act.

 

[Fractured]

Metallica 1988, stockholm, sweden. Great show.
And Mötley Crüe the year after, with the youngsters in Skid Row as opening act.
