I was there...it was a really good show.
Loved it when Stevie came out and joined Tom Petty onstage.
Santana joining Rod Stewart onstage was pretty cool too.

U2 1997, we had seats 3 rows from the stage, awesome show! A close second would be Burton Cummins 3 years ago on New Years at Club Regent, have never really been a fan of his until that night, fantastic show with lots of story telling in between songs.
Man i've been to alot of great concerts , AC/DC , Green Day , Fleetwood Mac , Tom Petty , Barenaked Ladies , Garth Brooks the first time he came , ZZ Top several times , but seeing Bruce Springsteen in 16 in Minneapolis doing the River album front to back and some of his biggest hits and playing for 3 and a half hours with no breaks was the best concert experience i've ever had . I bought that concert for cd from his website and it's 4 cds . 
Everyone stood and danced and sang it was what a concert experience should be , just unreal . 
This is a example of that tour .

Toss up... AC/DC (2001) pretty much because me and a buddy won luxury box seats from The old Pemby concert was awesome but even better with free beer and leather couches
Iron Maiden (2009) seen Maiden many times but wow did they put on a show that time

The most lively concert I have been at is Great Big Sea. Row 25 and the whole floor area danced all concert.
Sonic Youth in Dallas
Nick Cave in Toronto
PJ Harvey at a club in Minny
Unrest in Toronto
Tsunami in Winnipeg with about 5 people in attendance, I also with them in Minneapolis but seeing them in WPG was different.
J&M Chain somewhere in the early nineties, can't remember where
I saw a ridiculous number of bands from the mid 80's to min 90's, hundreds, and then I moved to Morocco for a decade and saw nothing at all.

I've seen a few concerts in my day but the most memorable was my first, a triple bill with Ted Nugent, the Pat Travers Band and the Scorpions. The Scorpions only played 4 songs because their drummer Herman Rarebell had suffered a broken foot, Pat Travers threw his guitar at the end of the set when the lightning guy kill the light causing Travers to miss his guitar on the way down and of course Nugent swinging on stage in a loin cloth. One of the more bizarre was Slayer playing to about 50 people in the basement of Wellington's, that night was the start of my hearing loss.
Pink Floyd - 1994
Thought we were late getting tickets. Some opened up a few days before the show. Row AA7. Thought that would be near the back on the field. Turned out to be 7th row from the stage. Went with the wife and 3 friends. They were checked at the gate. I was not.... and I was the one carrying the weed. Great night!!

Saw Guns and Roses open for Iron Maiden in 1988.
They had nothing more than a banner as their stage prop, Appetite was just hitting the charts so they were relatively unknown. Seeing them with no bells and whistles, was one of the most memorable shows I have seen.
They put on an amazing show and did a wicked cover of Razamataz by Nazarath, who happened to be in Winnipeg playing at the La Rendivous the previous night. GNR actually went to watch them play there as they were huge fans.
Other amazing concerts:
John Cougar had the old arena pumping
Metallica
Motley Crue x4 times seeing them
Iron Maiden x2 times
ACDC x3 times
Paul McCartney
Madonna (went for the wife, came away impressed)
U2
Stones
Bon Jovi
Skid Row opened for Jovi and put a pretty solid show on

My 2 favorites:
Rolling Stones 40 Licks 2002 in Anaheim
Supertramp 1979 at the Winnipeg Concert Hall
The first concert I went to was Nazareth in 1975 and I seem to recall (a lot of cilantro that night) that someone stole the bands bagpipes off the stage.
Some others I have seen; The Rolling Stones multiple times, April Wine, Alice Cooper, Steve Earl, David Bowie, The Fixx, Flock of Seagulls, Kiss, K D Lang, Cheap Trick, Styx.

I went to a lot of concerts in the late 80s through the 90s. The best is probably grateful dead east coast summer tour in ‘93 with Sting opening. He played a lot of Police tunes and jerry came out and jammed with him on Tea in the Sahara in Buffalo at the Bills stadium. The Auburn Hills shows were both fantastic. Late summer shows in Oregon in 93 were stellar.
aside from the dead though, in order of great live shows (all in the early/mid 90s)
Ministry
Soundgarden
Rage Against the Machine
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Pearl Jam
Pink Floyd
Allman Brothers Band (the Warren Haynes/Dickey Betts incarnation)
Primus
Paul Simon
Bob Dylan
Steve Miller Band
The Band
Little Feat
A bunch of others. Actually a really fun one was Cypress Hill opening for George Clinton and the P Funk all stars. That was some hilarious stuff at the amphitheatre at Canada’s Wonderland.
oh yeah, I’ve seen Ben Harper a couple of times and he is fantastic, highly recommended.

Oh yeah, intimate bar experience madness
Ice T at a bar in Guelph Ontario. He did a 4 stop Ontario college town tour in small venues as a warmup for his US stadium tour. It was completely outrageous. A fantastic show. Probably in 92 or 93. It was definitely after Body Count but was a pure rap show.

It really hurts that I missed this show. Didn't he also do a show at the concert hall?
