I just missed the MMJ show last summer at RR. I had won some tickets and didn't get the message until the following day. I hear it might have been the best show of the summer in Colorado.

I just missed the MMJ show last summer at RR. I had won some tickets and didn't get the message until the following day. I hear it might have been the best show of the summer in Colorado.
it was My Morning Jacket, Jurassic 5, Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, and Dave Matthews Band (with unannounced guest Neil Young)
1. Slipknot/Slayer co-headline (God Forbid opener)- Five Seasons Center
2. KISS/Ted Nugent/Skid Row - Five Seasons Center
3. NIN - Wells Fargo Arena
4. Sevendust Fan Appreciation Show ($5 tickets!) - Five Seasons Center
5. Disturbed (Music as a Weapon IV) - Val Air
6. HURT - anytime they play in a bar. They're better in the small venues IMO
7. Slipknot/Lamb of God/Shadows Fall - Hilton
8. A Perfect Circle - Five Seasons Center
9. Mudvayne - Val Air
10. Local H - VEISHEA
I will never go to see Avenged Sevenfold again. I got dragged to that thing and it sucked something fierce. After a Korn show I had a headache for 3 days because there was so much smoke in the place, but they were good.

I can't rank them really but here are a few.
Oingo Boingo - Col Ballroom, Davenport - '88
Drive By Truckers - Bluebird, '08
Wilco - Colorado Springs - '08
Springsteen - solo accoustic - '04?
REM - Palmer College - Halloween '87
Liz Phair - Ogden Theater - Denver '95?
Bob Mould - Fox Theater - Boulder '98
Phish - Red Rocks - '95
Widespread Panic/Wilco/Drive By Truckers - OutsideLands Festival, San Francisco '08
Wilco - July 3rd, 2009 Red Rocks (I have a feeling about this one)
I was there for that one too, I just remembered the openers being different. Thought Lamb of God was there...
Its always though to remember the openers. I was just making sure there wasn't a show that I had missed.
REM in Minny in 1982.
Specials in Spokane 2007-ish?
They Might Be Giants - Spokane 2007-ish...
Springsteen in Ames 1989-ish? Hate the guy but great showman.
Clapton in Ames - extremely professional and enjoyable show.
Waybacks in Sandpoint, ID. Newgrass band from SanFran...
Chick Corea - Ames 1982-ish?
WORST CONCERT... Bo Diddley at Peoples if its even still there. Bo knows how NOT to please an audience.

My bad. I was at both of those shows, kind of easy to confuse the two.
I also saw the Jack/Ben combo around 2001/2ish? at the Paramount in Cedar Rapids, before anyone had heard of Jack and Ben still played fairly small venues.
Skynyrd in 1999 at Hilton was great. ELP in 1993 at CY Stevens was good, U2 in 92 was pretty good. Would pay some big cash to see the Dan again.
Oh, I loved the M-Shop, it was a great place to check out a show. Definitely have fond memories of the place, but no show I saw there can really crack the top-ten. Yo La Tengo in '04 comes the closest, but ultimately it was too sloppy, being a benefit show and all.
1.) Coldplay, Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, Iowa
2.) Jack Johnson, Sandstone Ampitheatre, Bonner Springs Kansas
3.) Dave Matthews, Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin
4.) Jack Johnson, Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin

6.) 311/Matisyahu, Val Air, West Des Moines, Iowa
