Concerts: What floats your boat?

In the last few years the wife and I have gotten back into going to live concerts. We have seen Theory of a Deadman, 10 Years, and Breaking Benjamin (three times). We have tickets for Shinedown, and Five Finger Death Punch/Breaking Benjamin in the near future. We were supposed to see Jonny Lang, but weren't able to make that one. Anyone else going/have been to recent, or past live performances?
Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that corndog?

Forgot about Muse and 30sec to Mars
Havent been to a concert in a while but a year or so ago I saw Darius Rucker live and that was a great show, about half of it was his current stuff and the other half was classic Hootie and the Blowfish songs. Was fun to hear each.
Last one was at the County Fair with Montgomery - Gentry, just before Troy Gentry was killed in a helicopter crash.
In my youth, I've been to Jan & Dean concert (you may have to look them up), Beach Boys, Eagles, Boston and The Who concerts.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
I think the best was ZZ Top with Ted Nugent and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. That was one hell of a show

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
There were some in the late 70's so damn loud my ears are still ringing, my pops warned me about that.

Headliners: Breaking Benjamin and Five Finger Death Punch
But In the last few years we've gone to Survivor, Megadeth (x2), Collective Soul, Tool, Whitesnake, Charlie Danials, and a handful of smaller local groups.
Best concert I ever went to was an impromptu metal concert in Sacramento. Devil Driver, Kitty, Atreyu and another group I can't remember were all on tour, and they were crossing Sac at the same time. A local radio station announced they would play a one night show at one of those intimate little concert venues. It was $10 to get in, and there had to be less than 300 people in the place. At one point I was chatting up this girl while watching the roadies set up. We were having a good time, I told her I was there mainly for Kitty, and she told me the same. When the local DJ announced Kitty was coming on, she just said "Excuse me" and climbed the front of the stage. She was the freaking singer. She kept winking at me throughout the show.
Definitely my best concert memory.
That, and drinking Jameson from the bottle while Flogging Molly played Drunken Lullabies at the end of a 3 hour set on St. Patty's Day.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...
