This is a tough call for me. I've seen all except Led Zeppelin, and I enjoyed all for one reason or another, But I'm going with Metallica circa 1985/86.

Saber ,

Zep in 77 would have to be numero uno and RUSH, for me, would come in 2nd.

Seeing I have seen over 3000 shows ( between bars to festivals ) I have seen many many bands.

In no particular order - and for different reasons.

Iron Maiden ( and last tour - when they did PHACHENDALE - best live song I have ever seen them in 53 times live )

Screaming Cheetah Wheelies - best non metal rock band of all time in my opinion

And thier close friend DAMON JOHNSON. Solo, with Brother Cane - and now I cant wait to see him in Slave to the System.
.
Ramstchein - -dont laugh - they are fucking entertaining as hell

4 Non Blondes - they were the best female fronted hard rock band I ever saw live. Linda doesnt want to tour anymore - such a shame. Morpheine and Chocolate is still one of my top 10 favorite live songs ever

TS - but you knew that already

Ronnie James Dio - because of who he is, the respect that he commands - and at 64 - still sings better than most 20 year olds today

Rob Halford Solo - yes - solo - I think his last 2 tours he did with Jambo, Metal Mike, Pat and the others were his best material ever. I really dont need to see the Priest reunion over and over again. The new album is good - but Resurection was amazing.

Anything with Ripper - be on the lookout for him live. He did great duty on Priest while Rob was riding the hobby horse. Then with Iced Earth he tore ass!!!!! Beyond Fear album is out soon - and he will probably tour with DIO - you need to see him. He might be the future of metal!!!!

Queensryche back in the 80s - fucking hey yeah!!!!!! And beleive it or not - after seeing them a few times and yahning - this last tour they got it back. Cant wait to see them do the new mindcrime.

and finally ( there are many other great live bands I have seen - and you are gonna laugh at this - DEE WONT - he has sang with them ) is POISON.
Those boys do something very very few bands today do. They respect thier fans. They ask what thier fans want. They give it to them. They invite kids on stage ( Green Day does that too - so I dont want to forget them ) They keep audiences in line. They let fans go to future shows for free with thier stubs. and I think they still have fun playing live.

Maybe I will do a part 2 - gotta go play some online poker.

I too have seen several hundred shows, and I have to say the best performances aside from TS are....

Iron Maiden - in general great performers, but in particular the World Slavery Tour of 84-85 in which Twisted opened

Triumph - particularly Thunder Seven tour 84 and Sport of Kings 86

Rush

Metallica

yep - totally dropped the ball on Rush and Triumph there - - Damn I wish that that Triumph could put thier bad tudes aside and reform. Thats one of those tours I would pay anything to see. RICK EMMIT - suck it up.

On the topic of 3 man bands - and from Long Island - we forgot ZEBRA - -Randy Jackson and the boys - not only sound great still - they do Led Zep better than Led Zep.

Supertramp - now thats the reunion tour of a lifetime for me - too bad its never going to Happen. Roger would rather have no career and occasionally tour with Ringo Star - than to sell out a worldwide reunion tour - go figure

After thinking about this for awhile and seeing some of the other posts I realized the best (and worst, they weren't always consistent) I've ever seen was...

The Ramones!

there are hundreds are bands, I tried to pick the ones that were closest to TS in spirit, age,etc.... But 1500 plus shows and I never saw the Ramones. One of only a handful of bands that I regret not ever seeing Hanoi Rocks and Led Zep are the 2 besides the Ramones that come to mind.

RED JEFF ,

Happen to see Ripper with Iced Earth at the Starland, INCREDIBLE, I think his voice suits that band to a T! Only thing it was kinda funny seeing him do his Halford moves singing Earth songs. lol

Triump - Another great and forgotten band. One more - Mahogany Rush.

4 non blondes, saw then open for Aero when Aero had a decent fanclub. Very close seats and yes they were a great live band. Shame.

I think Roger getting back with Floyd would be the tour of the century. IMHO

You ever win at that online poker? I play with flesh and bones never cybered.

They did put on one helluva show, With little Tommy Aldridge on the drum kit.

Too bad we could only choose one. Saw many of them back in the day. Bon Jovi is a close second. Third is Van Hagar (5150-Live Without a Net, I'm on it).
real rock-n-roll

Black Oak is one I wish I had seen. I bet their show was awsome.

Hell yes!

There are frontmen and then there are FRONTMEN.

Jim Dandy commanded the stage and the crowd.
He never really received the recognition from the press he deserved
but I do put him pretty high on the standings.

I've seen beside TS, Kiss, Aerosmith, and Van Hagar. I'd say Van Hagar was the better of the other 3 concerts.
Bon Jovi, Metallica, Van Halen, and Cinderella are all concerts I'd love to see.
