All of those concerts attended....Which one was the best?

For me, it was seeing the Rolling Stones in 2002 at the Aragon. GREAT SHOW!

Followed closely by U2 at the United Center in 2001.

I bet the Stones at the Aragon was fantastic! The only time I saw them was about 10 years ago at Soldier Field. I was back in the endzone, so it took awhile for the audio to travel that far back and it never matched up with the video on the big screens. That was annoying.

It was a pretty amazing show. We were maybe 35 feet from the stage. During "It's only Rock & Roll" Bono came out and sang too.

The only downside was that we stood by Corey McPherrin all night. He kept trying to hit on my wife. Once I figured out what a dork he was, I let it go.
