Nirvana, Logan Cambell Centre, 92
Deftones,Powerstation, 97

Oh...my list excludes festivals as I'm never really happy with a shortened festival set....although....shit I have too add it....

Nine Inch Nails - Big Day Out 2006

Yours?

[Azwethinkweiz]

my top 5: (cant make a 10)
1. Michael Jackson (it was incredible)
2. Incubus (My favourite band and it was the first time i saw them. It was awesome)
3. Black Sabbath (It was just plain awesome to see Ozzy and the rest live)
4. Death Cab for Cutie (Really good concert with one of my favs and I met them after the show)
5. Audioslave (my day was complete when they played "Killing in the Name")

1. Michael Jackson (it was incredible)

I wished I'd seen that but it was hella expensive here in New Zealand.

Not a big fan but I heard he flew over the crowd with some sort of jet pack get-up?

Similar to Manson for me really.Not into his music anymore but he really put on an amazing live show on the Antichrist tour.
