Best concert you ever saw

Brightmantles Classic Rock Thread got me to thinking about concerts. Specifically got me to thinking about the best concert I've ever seen and I've seen my share as diverse as '93 Fleetwood Mac to the Rollins Band. What's the best one you've ever seen and it doesn't have to be Classic Rock (but lets keep it to acts that played in mid to large arenas)? My favorite was the first time I saw Roger Waters perform the Wall at Tacoma back in 2010.

ACDC at GM place, No Bull world tour concert. Nothing will ever top that for me and I've seen some great bands.

I got to thinking that not everybody lives in or nearby a large city, so lets revise the criteria. Instead of only concerts you've seen at mid to large size arenas it can be any live performance at any venue. It can be your friends band at the corner watering hold (the Orange Ogre :wink: ). Just describe why it was the best concert you've ever seen.
Gene and Paul are kind of smarmy a-holes, but KISS...YES! And ALICE!

Here Come the Mummies. In Peoria IL, it was at a small venue. Tons of fun. Hope I get to see them again.
