This ones easy. When I met Motley Crue in 2005 on their Red White and Crue tour. They offered a package where you could meet the band. So I put up the 500 bucks to get one for myself and a friend of mine. With that package you were guaranteed a seat in the first two rows, so it was a great time to say the least.

This is tough I'm trying to narrow it down from a couple of stand outs. Either Pink Floyd in '94 at Camp Randal in Madison WI. Roger Waters at The Milwaukee Auditorium. It was his first concert of his first tour in like 7 years and it was a small venue. That was very cool. A lot of celebs in the audience too including Richard Wright and Eric Clapton. The other would be once when I saw Silvertide open for someone. I don't even remember who but they put on a great show and afterward I had a drink with Nick Perri and Brian Weaver. The lead guitarist and bassist. The Wall in September in Chicago was up there too.
... idk one of those.
I'd also have to mention seeing about 4 bands in a basement rock bar in dowtown Chicago. I went to go see American Minor but another band The Thieves were awesome too. It was a very very small venue and all the bands hung out in the bar and partied along while the other bands were playing. That was tons of fun too.

Every great rock n roll memory I have is a hazy memory. I guess the best would have to be partying with Murder by Death last April in Cleveland.
A close second would be meeting Alice Cooper in 1990.

Seeing Cheap Trick live for the first time in 1979 with AC/DC opening for em in Omaha. I didn't know I was going to the concert til that morning. AC/DC with Bon Scott singing & Cheap Trick at the top of their game just blew me away & gave me the Rock & Roll bug for good.

Probably any of my "First concerts": Charlie Daniels Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Styx, Molly Hatchet, Ted Nugent, Blackfoot, Foreigner, Savatage, etc. The first shows were almost always the best and the most full of memories.

Mine's completely politically incorrect but I don't care. The second time in my life that I left the city from which I came, I went to go see Y&T in San Jose California. My friends and I made a rear-window sized sign for the back windshield of my car. It was the Y&T logo as big as I could fit. When we were cruizin' and boozin' down the highway, we started to get the classic devil horned hand signals from other rivit heads on the road. Then, all of a sudden, we were driving within a pack of Y&T revellers, whoopping it up and hanging out the windows as we barreled down the freeway. It escalated to the point of passing beers and herb from car to car with stereos blasting. It was all very, very naughty and completely forbidden on just about every level! Somehow, some way, I lived through my youth. It is somewhat amazing.

Please don't tell me that AC/DC did a great version of "Long Way To The Top".... or that Trick played "Southern Girls"..... ahhhhhh please don't tell me........damn! Thanks Kim

1. Seeing Quo for the first time, Manchester Apollo, England 1979 & watching the Hell's Angels beat the living crap out of the heavy handed Apollo security, Quo also played a blinder with the audience filling in the lyrics for 'Paper Plane' when Rossi hit a memory blank. 2. My first Donington Monsters Of Rock Festival. Blinding hot day, many, many naked ladies on show. Ozzy blowing both the tepid Roth-fronted Van Halen & a boring AC/DC offstage. 3. Watching Nikki Sixx shit himself when he invited a fan onstage to fight who had been flipping him off all through the show. The guy climbed up & was about 7 foot tall & built like a brick outhouse & Sixx legged it offstage like a girl. 4. Meeting Ronnie James Dio & band who proceded to slate Iron Maiden for stealing their stage design for the 'Powerslave' Tour. 5. Seeing Pink Floyd for the first time with one of the guys who played the Young Pink in 'The Wall' movie with his Dad (who I was friends with. His kid is the one who finds the dead rat).

I'm so jealous You lucky guy Going to see Judas Priest in '86 during their Turbo tour. Two truckloads of teenagers, hash stops about every hour. Took us about ten hours to make a four hour trip. What a great weekend...it was so good, I can't remember! Ah youth....
