This one is right in my Wheelhouse!!! Some of my favorite Live Shows I've been involved with:
-Green Day
-Pearl Jam
-Robert Randolph & the Family Band
-Blue October
-Strung Out
-Widespread Panic
-G Love & Special Sauce
-Slightly Stoopid
-Metallica
-Pepper
-Dave Matthews Band
-Sheryl Crow
-Flogging Molly
-Sublime
Love me some Live Music and worked on well over 2,000 shows. Miss it everyday and actually I have been approached by 2 different promoters about partnering with them. It is under consideration but would cause me to give up my weekends during the summer thus not much time for enjoying the Lake Life. Live Music is good for the soul

PJ reached out to me to submit a Resume. Had no idea why as they have a good Tour Manager, Smithy. I sent it to them but didn't pursue. The reason I got out of the Music Business was because I had a daughter and wanted to be in her life. Turns out the position would have been Tour Manager for Soundgarden. They hadn't announced it but were getting back together. Both bands wanted Matt Cameron on drums so they just agreed to have PJ Management run Soundgarden for scheduling reasons. Both bands are good friends so worked out well. No way I would want to be the tour manager for Soundgarden because Cornell's wife was a royal Beaver. She was such a piece of shit and problem maker on tour. Bad enough babysitting the bands and crew but pain in the ass wives are too much.
McCready is an amazing guitarist, plus a really nice guy. Cool and mellow, easy going. Plus funny and a bit of a prankster. Actually all of the members of PJ are cool. Eddie likes to get political at times but besides that they are easy hangs. Same with Soundgarden unless Cornell's wife is around. Fuck that bitch, most of us blame her for his suicide. She had a power over him and made him crazy at times.
Soundgarden's first show back together after being broken up for over 10 years was scheduled for Lollapalooza. They did a private show at the Vic Theater in Chicago a couple days before they played Lolla. Was a practice run, and boy did it suck. They sounded like shit. Was hard to look them in the eye after the show and say "Wow, great show". We were all worried that they were going to royally stink up the show at Lolla, as they were the closing show on Sunday Night. We couldn't have been more wrong as they absolutely melted faces that night. Amazing show. Little known fact. Eddie Vedder came in town to get up on stage with them for a couple songs. They were playing Sunday Night and on friday Eddie's Boat House in Seattle was burned down. Arson. So Eddie flew out saturday back to Seattle. If he had played with them Sunday night it would have been epic, off the charts.
Saw so many great shows at Lolla. Some that opened my eyes as I didn't expect to like the bands. 2 that stood out were CeeLo Green and Eminem. Both put on amazing shows, so entertaining. We all walked away impressed by their performances.

This thread is desperately awaiting @SoCal_Corn 's triumphant return to the board to regale us with HIS tales of live music. Like @MtnHusker , he has a professional affiliation with the entertainment industry and loves live music. Regale us, oh bard of the desert southwest!

Linkin Park.
It will be unpopular for many here, but I pretty much grew up through my high school years on LP. My high school years were not the best and LP's music definitely helped me out with some personal issues.
Come my freshman year at UNL. One day, my fraternity vice president says he had LP tickets in Omaha (coming from the 308, I didn't know jackshit getting around Omaha area) and he couldn't go at the last minute due to a midterm. I said I would take them and I called up my really good friend from my high school days who was also attending UNL. We both said fuck it to whatever the next day of classes brought and drove to Omaha.
From there, LP was awesome. The music live was something out of this park. Sometimes it's not the music, but the experience meeting with old feelings was something to never forget.

1. Metallica in Marlay Park, Dublin in 2008. Was over there for work at the time and caught that show. Only time I've seen Metallica but it was awesome.
2. Beastie Boys in 1992 in the Peony Park Ballroom. Really young and really high at this show.
3. Tom Petty in NY in 2014.

Bruce Springsteen was an incredible show. 2008 in Atlanta. My brother and I met Chipper Jones that week when he was hitting like .400 through the first 30 games. Unreal week. I was 18.

I'll also add that the Deep Purple / Judas Priest show at Harrah's a few years back was solid. It was a "way back machine" concert for me as Deep Purple was my 1st concert (once again, Pershing Auditorium circa 1973) and I've always had a spot in my music rotation for them based on that fact along.
But I fooked up in a YUGE way and forgot to bring hearing protection to that show. Both bands were both LOUD AF and now I have tinnitus, which sucks BIGLY.

This list is gonna make me seem like I wear baggy jean shorts, but just remember these were all pre-2004 so I wasn't even 18 yet:
Nine Inch Nails @ Civic Auditorium
Tool @ Red Rocks
Slipknot @ The Royal Grove when they were just an opener
Most of my concerts in the last decade have been indie and punk bands that nobody will care about, except for maybe CHVRCHES at Radio City Music Hall.
