Ontopic Best concert you've been to?

Every concert I've been to, they (security guards) won't accept a stub to let you back in, and most of the concerts wouldn't let you back in no matter what. If they did allow you to leave, they'd mark your hand with a marker/stamp or give you a wristband. Stubs were meaningless other than to fans who wanted it as a keepsake. *shrugs*
If security guards run to type then they were probably giving the tickets back to scalpers for a cut.

That blows. I've been to concerts where they just gave you wrist bands. I saved those and labeled them if they weren't labeled. I have a crazy. The real weird thing is that my scrapbook that has concert tickets in it also has death notices and prayer cards and nothing else. It's my death and concert scrapbook. By strange coincidence my cousin does the same thing for some reason. We only discovered we have the same odd collection years after we each started it.

oh also the DRAKE/JAY Z/EMINEM show I saw with my exhubby in 2010 was off the fucking hoooooooooook
There was this one pretty spectacular concert I went to. Blues Traveler on Red Rocks for July 4th. Think it was like 96, maybe 97. John Popper was still fat back then. Anyway, Red Rocks is situation in the foothills of Denver, facing east, so you get this awesome panoramic view of the entire front range.
So, band is playing it gets dark.. It's Blues Traveler so, well, certain things are being ingested and such. Then you start to see all the fireworks shows going off across Denver. Like 30 of them. It was pretty fantastic.
The band realized that no one was paying attention to them, so they dimmed all the lights onstage, save 1 colored accent light for each band member, and did this hour long instrumental only jam while people tripped out to the most awesome fireworks show ever.
The final fireworks show to go off was at Bandamere Speedway, which is just on the other side of a hogsback ridge across from Red Rocks, so we have these fireworks exploding pretty much at eye level or below right in front of us. When it was over, the resulting explosion from the crowd at the excellence of the experience was deafening.
It was probably the most awesome experience at a concert ever.
Second most awesome, we were at Raggae Sunsplash. It was being held on the slopes of Keystone that summer. The entire first part of the day was just cloudy. The third band to come on stage started off going 'We need some positive energy here, people" in a heavy jamaican accent. Basically goading the crowd into willing the sun to come out.
Sound completely fake, but it's not. Just above the stage, a small hole opened in the cloud.
as their set continued, it got bigger.
By the time they were done, the hole had opened up over all of the Keystone area. We were completely surrounded by clouds, but above us, nothing but sunshine. It stayed that way for the rest of the show. The hole, and the clouds, were still there as we packed up to leave that night.

I have always wanted to see a show at Red Rocks. That sounds freaking amazing. I am green with envy.
right, but ghb is the most infamous roofie.
alchohol is considered a roofie too. pretty sure people know they're getting drunk
I'd have to say the genitorturers. I've actually seen them and it is unfortunately quite unforgettable

Me too, but hey, that's right up Fly's alley.
ghb is not used as a roofie... it tastes HORRIBLE. unpossible to not know it is in your drink.
