Best metal concert, Metallica 92, which was also my first. I’ve seen them other times, but they were at that perfect balance of energy, skill, and creativity in that era.
Overall? Elton John. Dude is just non stop entertainment from the second he walks on stage, until he’s done. Just a phenomenal performer. Enough so that I wasn’t a fan before the show, and only went because my patient was going and needed assistance. Left the show a fan, and was bloody well impressed with how he handled the small back stage meeting with my patient as well. Took time to really talk to the kid, and not just in the “get better champ” kind of way. Then took a moment on his way out to pat me on the shoulder and say thank you.
Just a genuinely great dude imo.
Smaller shows, I went with my cousin to see a local band ages ago, when I was visiting him. A band called October. Maybe thirty people in a shitty little building, but they killed it. Afaik, the band ceased to exist not long after, though I have one of their cassettes still. I think, anyway, it’s been so long since I pulled them out of storage, those tapes might be to old to work now.
