Best concert ever was Def Leppard. Just because when a band is so seasoned in touring, and so familiar with their own music, it's played to literl perfection. I had gold circle seating at the locale, waiteresses, etc. Perfect view.
Real music fans listen, they don't throw themselves in mindless mosh pits.

I dunno...
Ive been to concerts where I sat and others where I was standing, and I have to say the intensity of standing up close to the stage is better than being in a seat farther away. Not to mention you can stand close to the stage without moshing. That way you still expeirence the music.
Im not gonna write my whole list of bands ive seen. The concerts Ive been to were:
Green Day/Sugarcult/New Found Glory - Green Day put on a great show
Taste of Chaos - Decent concert. No truly awesome bands, though.
Warped Tour - Far too many bad bands, but a few good ones that made it worthwile
i've got a list somewhere, but i cant remember where it is, i think my sister tore out the pages on the pad and used the book it was in.
and i'm gonna agree with Cine and AC, for two reasons:
1. a good seat can give you the best sound AND a great veiw of the carnage, the chance to soak up the atmosphere is half the appeal to me for a gig.
2. i really cant mosh thanks to a disease i have in my hips, i dont have hip joints, only muscle holding everything in place, i cant risk a bad fall or someone kicking my hips, i enjoy walking to much to risk that.
as for fave concert, i've got a Top three, even though it was hard to decide:
1. The Matches: took my girlfriend to see them, i quite liked them but was there for another band, but thanks to the small attendence and no stage security, me and stacee along with 6 other guys ended up on stage for their final song, going nuts with the band. awsome stuff
2. Frenzal Rhomb: more of a sentimental placing, it was just after my birthday, the band gave me a present, hung out with me, signed some stuff and let me back stage for the show.
3. Metallica: 10,000 people strong crowd singing along, metallica playing 2 hours, brilliant set, couldn't have been better

Yea, and some bands (slayer, hatebreed, slipknot) Just get you pumped and get a huge Adrenalin rush and its fun to go into the pit and just take out your aggression on other people.
Yeah, but that's called being an idiot.
The one thing music ISN'T about is hurting people.

Taking your aggression out on people at a Rock concert makes you an idiot.

Im not a fan of the whole moshing thing, but I can see why poeple do it and I think to them moshing is as imporatnt as the music itself. May sound wierd to you, but my dad knows a guy who goes to concerts just to beat the shit out of poeple, and I know someone who goes to concerts for the same reasons, even going to concerts of bands he dislikes just for the sake of moshing.
Like I said, Im not the type to do stuff like that, but I dont think people who do are idiots.
What? its like saying that you dont think the people that go see soccer matches just to beat the other teams fans up are not idiots, you think its funny that some assholes beat up nice long dedicted fans of some bands only cause they think its fun? huh? no its realy discusting and makes my wanna trow up, its only some very sick people that have a huge problem with them selfs.
