Arena acts like Metallica, Madonna, Springsteen or AC/DC?
Club shows featuring performances by artists and bands such as Pat Green, Fountains of Wayne and The Faint? Or that yet-undiscovered garage band playing at the local Dew Drop Inn? Now’s the time to declare your own top concert list of 2008!

Best live show was definately Nine Inch Nails. Their Lights in the Sky show was really something to behold. It was by far the best show I've seen in my lifetime, and definately the best show this year. The people who saw it know its true.

Nine Inch Nails "Lights in the Sky" by a long shot and I went to at least 120 shows this year and that one was the best one by far. The light show and the intensity of the performance was brilliant and being the 16th time I have seen them since 1990 it was one the best shows ever.

Radiohead.

AC/DC was by far the best show of the year for me! Tom Petty was a close second! Tina Turner was absolutely amazing as well. 2008 was a good year for concerts thats for sure. 2009 i am definitely looking forward to U2, sure they'll be good as ususal!

Pearl Jam's show at Bonnaroo. I am almost 60 and saw many of the greats at the Fillmore East, etc. I would have to rate this Pearl Jam show among my Top Ten of all time. If you don't believe me ask Kanye West!

NIN was a knock-out, but the lights were the star of that show. Radiohead was outstanding as well. My favorite show of the year was DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist. Two of the best turntablists on the planet scratching, spinning, & mixing nothing but originally pressed 45s with surveillance cameras to show they weren't cheating. Unbelievably fantastic!

Warren Haynes playing in Sept. at Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch, a 200 seat venue with perfect acoustics. He played a solo acoustic set then came out with Jorma and Jack Cassidy for set two. Amazing, just amazing! One of the best shows I've seen in 40+ years of concert-going. m

top concerts I saw was RUSH after 30 yrs. they can still put on a great show. Not too many bands can play for 3hrs. every night and play like they can. Another highlight of mine had to be the return of IRON MAIDEN. Bringing back the world slavery stage was amazing and they sounded just as amazing as they did back in 1985. Looking forward to see METALLICA as well as many others metal act in 2009!!
