      Garth Brookes. Saw him at the Tacoma dome like 10 years ago. We were on the floor towards the back and some lady with a headset came up and told us to come up front. At the time I was pretty stoked. Show was awesome. Garth and trisha yearwood were amazing. The stage had some cool mwchanics and the drummer was in a 3d rotating circle thing going upside down and around. Blew my mind. Pretty funny realization afterwards though. The reason we got moved to the front was because we were mexican. We were in a section with nothing but people of color. Pretty funny. Amazing show.

          Everclear in the late 90’s was pretty good.

            When my eldest daughter was born we were overnight at the hospital and had a huge window in our room. My wife had listened to Florence and the machine a lot while pregnant and we are big music lovers who often have music playing around us. We were up at night feeding our first born worrying about being new parents and fidgeting over what we didn't understand. In the background Florence and the machine playing quietly in the background. Suddenly a massive rainstorm started seemingly out of nowhere. Crashing lightning. Smashing down torrential rain. Building rumbling thunder. We turned up the music and it was like they were just playing for us. It lasted about an hour and I will never forget it.

            It was an amazing welcome to the world for our first baby who is now a preteen and your story reminded me of it.

                      So many that my answer is just listing most of the concerts I can remember going to

                      The Midnight
                      Roosevelt
                      Tycho
                      DJ Shadow
                      deadmau5
                      Perturbator
                      Rush (RIP Neil)
                      Celldweller
                      The Crystal Method
                      Psychostick
                      Above & Beyond
                      Kodo (Japanese taiko drummers)
                      Lateralis (chiptune musician and indie game dev)

                      If I had to pick the three most memorable, it'd be Kodo, DJ Shadow, and The Midnight

                          Tool, always. Propagandhi were also great.

                          I will forever kick myself for not trying to see them in Tacoma in (i think) 2023. One of the greatest bands of all time, and pure fucking magic on psychedelics

                            +1 for The Midnight. About halfway through the show all but one person went backstage. For about 20 minutes this guy had the most killer synth solo. I was mind blown how well they incorporated the synth into a live concert.

                              I'll bet they are great live. I actually have only heard one song of theirs, which I found by accident years ago when trying to find something else. Everlasting Light, played live.
                              One of very few songs that completely makes it obvious how much mp3 compression sucks, and even if you download the FLAC (sadly not high res) you can still hear everything wrong with your speakers and if you listen to it on good headphones then you can hear the deficiencies of the mic they used to record it.

                              Truly a huge amount of audio information in that track. I love it!

                                Dada Life. Wouldn’t call them a band just a DJ pair. Only one of them played, but the show he put on was incredible. He had all of the things to keep your hands on the air. He was throwing out beach balls, big blowup bananas (which I managed to keep one and he signed it after the show), big balloons and had a big flag that he had the crowd hold up over their heads, he also handed out pillows for a pillow fight we did.

                                  Hell yeah!

                                  I remember the audience just absolutely losing it the first time the sax came out, and also every time after that. Such an excellent band, and I was so thrilled to see how much they blew up

                                    God Speed You! Black Emperor.

                                    Not a band, but Patti Smith, with Philip Glass.

                                          ...i've seen some pretty epic shows by some pretty epic bands, but the last time i saw muse play, i did not expect to see a F*CKING HUNDRED-FOOT MECHA lunge out from the stage...

                                          I saw that live. I remember thinking "man that was a good show they should be wrapping up soon" but it was like halfway through. They played a 3 hour set. Insane.
