What's your favorite concert, ever? 7/15/2001 8:45:06 PM
syndicatemike

What's the best concert you ever attended? Was it the good-time semi bluegrass of Mason Proffit some thirty years ago? The Talking Heads at Red Rocks on the tour "Stop Making Sense" came from? Tom Jones doing Nine Inch Nails stuff at Minot's Hostfest? George Thorogood at Mandan's Gaiety night club. The Zappa "Turkey Trot" Thanksgiving show a friend of mine went to years and years ago. The second time Dylan played in Bismarck? The Smithereen to a couple of hunred people in Fargo?
A separate question would what was the most memorable concert? Expectations can come into play here.

I actually have seen many great concerts, possibly hundreds and can give you a few of the better ones!

1. The one and only Prince at the Fargodome

2. Guns 'n Roses at the Fargodome

3. Posion each of the 5 times I've seen them!

4. Cinderella at Rushmore Plaza Civic Center

5. Too many to name

A great show from a guy who gets no respect, Vanilla Ice when he played the Palace Arms Hotel in Bismarck. This was on his "Extreme" Aggro music tour with an excellent band. The place was packed and extremely hot!

Big disappointments: Ratt (every show), David Lee Roth at Rockin' the Hills 2001, Kiss Reunion (but glad I saw them)

Best Surprise performance: CCrevival at Rockin' the Hills and they were very, very good!

First concert: Ted Nugent (when he didn't open his mouth so damn much)

You've seen Poison five times? You admit to this?! Wow!
I never made it to Rockin The Hills. How was Susan Tedeschi? How did the crowd respond to her?
Dylan's March 29, 2000 gig in Bismarck was the best concert that I've witnessed. It is still very fresh in my mind. I was just telling a friend about that concert and I thought for sure it was this March that he was here. I probably smoked too much catnip in the 80's.

On his Transformer tour. There was something so deliciously bizarre about Neil spending half a concert doodling on synthesizers like some space alien while spending the other half sitting in a chair performing old classics on an acoustic guitar.
Of course I admit to it! 7/16/2001 1:45:29 PM

Best, most entertaining live band ever! They know how to put on a show!

We actually left Rockin' in the Hills on Sunday morning before Susan played, but I'm sure she went over well. I heard Mitch Malloy didn't do so well, which is too bad.

4th Row Fargo Dome. That show was amazing.

I saw Mitch at RTH and he didn't have a very good turn-out. He sounded pretty good, but I enjoyed him a lot more a few years back at the Belle Mehus and at the Heritage Center. I think the Sunday Morning shows are hard to fill. I know I was hard to drag out that morning. I wonder how his Thursday nite show before Slaughter went. I didn't catch Susan Tedeschi, I heard she was good, but I don't know about the turn out.

Insane Clown Posse in Fargo May 2001. That was the best, runners up: Bloodhound Gang Fall 2000 Minneapolis, Cartoon Sex Clowns - any of their shows, Jimmy Page/Robert Plant Walking into Everywhere tour. I have never seen Poison, but I'm sure they would be on the list if i had seen them!!

B.B. King at "Prairie Knights" was quite outstanding. He didn't do a lot of showoffy crap; he just did his thing - effortlessly. His band was the most professional backing I've witnessed. Yet, they were not at all sterile. They were very absorbed in King's thing. They were also having an excellent time. As was the very demographically varied sold out crowd in attendance,
