[AZ Fins Fan 55]

I have been to a ton of concerts so I am jogging my memory a bit.

First - I was like 12 and went with my sisters to see New Kids on the Block......yeah yeah I can hear you laughing from here. 

Best - Tie
John Anderson - One of my all time favorites and he put on a great show.
The 2nd of the 3 Creed concerts I went to was Awesome.

Last - Merle Haggard - Fall of 2010 - He is getting up there but the man can still sing.

Worst - 2nd Gary Allan Concert - Only because they had lost all of their equipment in a tornado and had pieced together stuff to do the show.....the sound was not great.

Best Surprise - Riders in the Sky - My wife got tied up and was unable to attend with her mother so I went in her place just so my MIL would not have to go alone. I ended up really enjoying the show from a group I had never heard of.

[masterfins]

First:  Heart
Best: many to choose from, but I'll go with the Police
Worst: ZZ Top

Best Opener: George Thorougood
Last: ZZ Top played during the Preakness and were pretty good (not the noted worst above, that was a different time).  Actual last concert in an Arena was probably James Taylor (excellent) a few years ago; or perhaps Hootie & the Blowfish who played a concert at the local golf course during a Senior Tour Tournament a couple years ago.

[Thundergod]

First:  Run DMC / Beastie Boys '87

Best: "Weird" AL Yankovic

Last: "Weird" AL Yankovic

[Phishfan]

Best: "Weird" AL Yankovic

I didn't expect to see this.

[Dave Gray]

First - Collective Soul (I wasn't a fan, but a friend had a ticket and it was close to home.)
Best - Paul McCartney
Last - I think it was actually Paul McCartney, for a 2nd time.

[SportsChick]

First - I was like 12 and went with my sisters to see New Kids on the Block......yeah yeah I can hear you laughing from here. 

I'm just a bit jealous I didn't get to see them in concert until a couple years ago and the show rocked

[bsmooth]

First- Def Leppard 92
Best- Ozzfest 08
Last- Ozzy Feb 11

[Brian Fein]

Worst: NKOTB (with my wife, stop looking at me like that)

I think i remember giving you crap on FaceBook about this
