Surely this has been asked before...

For me, without a doubt, Philadelphia 1972 at the Spectrum.

Anyone else ?

Best: Oslo 1990, 1st show
Worst: Stockholm Stadium 2003

Dortmund, Westfalenhalle, June 1976.

Globe Arena, Stockholm, summer of 2003. 5-10 meter from the stage, perfect sound and vision and a better setlist than the stadium one. That was my closest encounter of the band!

American Airlines Arena Miami, Florida Oct. 23, 2002 - they were en fuego! Thrilling.

Crikey, that was almost 10 years ago...

San Francisco October 17th 1981

1982 Vienna

OZZY \m/

Atlanta 2006 was fantastic. It is the one bootleg that I have gone back to enjoy more than any other show I taped. Worried About You, Rambler, Get Off My Cloud with just Ronnie in the mix... Just a great show.

Nuff said.

Bob C. I was at the show? Where do yo you live? Im in Richmond, die hard Bruce fan, but i wouldnt say it was the best show.

East Lansing, 1994. Perfect night. Friends from all over the country. Sixth row. You could only drink outside so no drunks in the stadium. The 'Stones were firing on all eights as they'd only been on the road a month and weren't bored yet... oh, I could go on and on...

Singapore 2004 second night. Front row on Keith's side, with Mick's, Ronnie's, and Keith's kids all in the pit in front of me dancing. Keith leaned over and dropped his pick in my open hand. Awesome! And they were on fire! Playing a great show.

Wembley Arena - August 29, 2003

The Wiltern - November 4, 2002.

Which night was that Lee - Let It Bleed, Sticky or Exile? The Let It Bleed one was the best of the 3 for me.

Paradiso shows. That was a Stones temple in Stones heaven. Just a couple of hundred fans. So close and intimate. And how they played...so brilliant. And they liked it so much themselves, everybody could feel that at that moment and that also made it special, the shared feeling of the crew, the fans and the Stones together.

Barcelona July 20, 1998 - Olympic stadium. Crazy Spanish crowd and Stones full of energy... Good memories.

As a concert experience, Milano 2003 by a long distance.

Not exactly impeccable from a technical point of view, but the energy level was something else.

Other super experiences were MSG 2003, Stuttgart 1999, Dubendorf 2006.

Goosebumps in London 1999, first time I saw them at their hometown. Average to bad show, according to the reviews, but witnessing 70,000 + Englishmen singing joyfully Ruby Tuesday with a beer in their hand was just incredible!!!

C

Wembley 73 followed by the last night of Earls Court 76 when they played Sympathy as an encore and had elephants on stage with them.

But Brixton 95 and Shepherds Bush 99 were also pretty great.

Equally - Toronto, 1972 & 1975.

Opening show for Voodoo Lounge Tour, RFK Stadium, Washington, DC, July 1994.

Right you are R! I was at that one, too. Saw them 8 times on VL, East Lansing was the best. Please go on and on. Hard to pick out an all-time best, but i'd say..
1. Akron Rubber Bowl, July 10, 1972.
2. Soldier Field, July 8, 1978.
3. E. Lansing, Sept 1994.
4. Pittsburgh Civic Center, 1999.

no particular order.

Yep,was there. Was a good concert. I also was at the Cologne Eissporthalle
and Halle Muensterland in 1976. IMHO Muenster was best of these three.

Saw them so many times between 1967 and their last tour.
To me, nothing beats the 1970 European Tour. Had my elbows on the edge
of the stage in the Grugahalle Essen, right in front of Jagger's microphone.

Glasgow SECC - 1st. show

Runners up :

Wembley 99
Wembley 82
Sheffield 06

You did not answer the question.

LA Forum, November 1969. It was a new and different band than the 1966 incarnation. I was just mesmerized.
