First concert Guns N Roses with Skid Row opening. Also, the first place I smelt pot as a young lad.

Best concert Pink Floyd for the Pulse Tour incredible sound, great light show and effects, tight musicianship. Close second would have been ACDC at SARSstock the crowd was pumped and the band members were beaming (when they came out and jammed with the Stones they looked loose happy and having fun). ACDC stole the show.

Worst concert Primus at Varsity Arena the acoustics were so bad that you couldn't hear a thing.

Last concert Tool at Copps.... man what a pleasant surprise I had never seen them before nor did I know their music well and they rocked!!!!!! Their stage show is pretty much heavy metal pink floyd-lite.

The best oldest concert would be Jeff Beck with Jan Hammer in 76 at Maple Leaf Gardens. The best recent concert would have to be George Thorogood at the Fallsview Casino in the Falls.

First: Mott the Hoople, somewhere around 72, at Massey Hall.
Best: The Replacements at some pub in London, England in 87. They were touring to promote their latest LP and no-one knew them in Europe. It was a 100-seat venue packed with vacationing US college kids.
Also best: Any Pogues gig in the mid 80's.
Worst: Clapton at some stadium in Buffalo in 74. Bad acoustics and endless blues standards with no Cream or Dominoes stuff. This was when Eric decided he wasn't going to solo a lot anymore. Smart idea, Eric. Give me a good reason to go see you then. And hey, blues work best in a little club. In a football stadium with no ambience........ not so great.

First: Yes at an outdoor park in England, summer 1972, cant recall the name of the park
Worst : Stones when Skydome first opened 1990 & had horrid accoustics
Best: many could have the vote, but probably Anne Murray around 1997 Melody Fair , not that shes my favourite musicianby any means, but, we were so close to the stage I could here her voice over the sound system, She is a fantastic musician

Wilds of the GTA
First...

Cant remember, maybe David Clayton Thomas & The Shays? I have their first (only?) album, some of the best blues including definitive version of Tobacco Road.

Best- Joe Cocker, Mad Dogs & Englishmen.

Worst- Early Stones were NOT impressive on stage, and for sure the Beach Boys were a studio act.
