The 10 best concerts I ever saw
1. U2 with Big Audio Dynamite and Public Enemy at Legion Field in Birmingham - 10/7/1992
It was ZooTV. There was so much happening and I was on acid and tripping really hard. Best show ever!

2. The Ramones at Sloss Furnace in Birmingham - 04/24/1990
I feel incredibly lucky that I got to see Joey Ramone live. Sloss Furnace is very haunted and had a great vibe for a punk show.

Video of actual concert. Seen Shonen Knife 7 or 8 times. This show has the edge because Tacocat opened up.
