Vancouver is yet to receive a PT show, and was left out of that tour. Not that I would have gone, I just got into PT a couple years back.

yeah i saw it too, fuck it was so epic, everyone just went nuts!!
seeing opeth do demon of the fall at the Corner Hotel was awesome, cause everyone was chanting "Demon!" and mike said from backstage "if we are going to play demon you have to yell louder than that!"
seeing metallica open with fight fire with fire and then ride the lightning was amazing. And i just felt priviliged watching Sabbath with Dio
our first ever gig a year ago ^_^
and i was drunk so it made it even more fun.

1. Just about any Dark Tranquillity show. Mikael jumping in the audience and singing w/ fans... epic.
2. Collective Soul. Most of you probably hate this band. But at a show I was at, they got the crowd to sing the chorus to a song. Typical, you know. Except, as they left the stage (it was the last song) the crowd kept yelling out the chorus, for a good 2 or 3 minutes. The encore was over, but the band just HAD to come back out and keep playing after that.
3. Third Eye Blind show. The guitarist, after running around the audience with a rippin solo (he used to be in a speed metal band) took his guitar off, and gave it to a random audience member.
4. Zero Hour in NYC. Hanging with the band at their own show was beyond awesome.
5. Orphaned Land at ProgPowerUK. Same as #4... class A guys.

I've got two more to add
1. During PN, Mike Portnoy pointed at me (and everyone else within a 5 person radius if you know what I mean)
2. During a Rush a concert, they had the Rock in Rio dragon behind them in this scene, and it "breathed" fire and all of a sudden, everyone felt like they were in an oven due to the heat of the pyrotechnics.

WOOT!
I saw him about a year ago in Jacksonville. Fucking amazing show! His brother was playing guitar & bass, and towards the end of the show EVERYONE on stage except the drummer was playing bass, and I don't mean just screwing around on one, actually playing the fuck out of it! I don't know her name, but the chick he had singing/rapping with him was a stone-cold badass on bass! Definitely a show you want to catch any time you get the chance.I love Collective Soul! Great songs and a phenomenal live band. I've seen them several times and they're always amazing. Have you seen the live DVD with the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra? It's fuckin' great!
Oh yeah, I remembered another cool concert experience. I was in the front, dead-center on the barricade at the Ozzy Osbourne "Bark at the Moon" tour in Biloxi, MS back in the day, and we had some of the most potent indica I've ever smoked to this day, all rolled into enormous fatties. This was back when you could still get away with that at a concert, and all through the show we were fogging the whole front of the stage with them. Ozzy kept walking by and pointing at us, smiling. I held a joint up, offering him a tag 2 or 3 times and each time he'd just kinda shake his head and keep on performing. Then, finally, during one of the solos, I think it was "Suicide Solution", he laid down on the stage in front of us, took the joint and toked about half of it down as fast as he could, got up and gave us the thumbs-up and finished the show! Definitely qualifies as the most famous person I've ever gotten stoned with, anyway. lol

Jacob who was standing beside you at the gig seems to have a different story.
Never heard that one.
I couldn't believe the heat that thing produced! I wasn't close to the stage at all and I could still feel it. That was definitely an epic fucking moment.
I saw in flames at arenan in stockholm 2005. Funny enough, Fridén made a joke about his voice, he said something like "When you've been going on for a while you get worn out you know" and then he asked if anyone knew the lyrics of clayman, the album. everyone of course roared yes and then he picked up some random guy in the audiance and asked him to sing bullet ride for the band and the lucky guy did. It wasnt very good but hell it was fun, after the song they gave him a guitar now that was pretty damn cool)
Any hammerfall gig is also an experience haha, they are pure medieval glory!
Another really good memory I had was when NINE INCH NAILS FINALLY played in sweden at Hovet and the last song being Hurt. Trent performed it alone, using only his voice and a piano. Gosh, that was epic!
I anticipate the opeth gig in stockholm in december will be something to remember as well as At the Gates farewell gig in september

I just got back from the Melbourne Sigur Ros gig and the audience during Gobbledigook was pretty awesome, few thousand people clapping and stomping the main tune all in awe.

Seeing Sigur Ros at Hamer Hall in '05 is still my most incredible concert moment. I had never seen any live footage of the band before seeing them there, and i was just blown away. Starting and ending the concert behind a semi-transparant curtain, with amazing light spectacles, creating 30 foot highg silouhettes of the band - breathtaking.
And then seeing them again last night just blew me away also. I didn't have very high hopes the gig being where it was (Festering Hole), but it worked. From the first note of Svefn-G-Englar, I had shivers up my spine. Such an amazing live band.
Also, just to be a fanboy, seeing Opeth in '05 (a great year for live shows), during the show I yelled out 'Jag älskar dig', just to have Mike reply 'thank you, I love you too'. I was pissed as a cunt, 16, at an overage Opeth gig, and being told I love you by my idol. I felt pretty cool. Met him the next day, too.

^Yeah the venue is pretty awful and the sound was pretty average, but they still managed to own. Were you on the floor or seated?
