The best cover ever, according to Lou Reed (and me, for what that's worth)

Best I’ve ever seen was Pink Floyd at JFK stadium in Philadelphia. I’ve seen many of the bigger bands over the years, many several times. I’ve seen Foghat 4 times, Black Sabbath 4 times, Kiss 5 times, Blue Oyster Cult 5 times,Aerosmith at least 6 times. I saw Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in fairly dense fog, that made a cool effect, but nothing compared to the show that Pink Floyd put on.
Just some of the others I’ve seen: Rainbow The Outlaws Motley Crue Lynyrd Skynyrd 3 times Ted Nugent 2 times Marshall Tucker Joe Walsh Peter Frampton Journey Boston Cheap Trick Meatloaf Zz Top Styx Def Leppard Steppenwolf Heart Ten Years After Molly Hatchet Loudness Foreigner Scorpions and many more.

I saw Marshall Tucker in a bar in Knoxville, but that was about 30 years ago. They were very good.
I saw John Lee Hooker in the Canada Tavern in Windsor, but that was 40+ yrs ago.
Thanks, now I really feel old.

My favorite band of all time - I saw them when there was just two of them left. Kick ass.

My concert visits are limited, Depeche Mode at the end of the 80s, my first concert.
This was followed by The Neon Judgement 2x, The Bolock Brothers and Front 242. It was a very dark time. Nevertheless, I still listen to the bands today.
I would have loved to hear Skinny Puppy, but they rarely come to Germany.
I went to Scorpions and Kiss with my wife a few years ago, it was mega cool.
This year it was supposed to be Coldplay and AC/DC, but Coldplay around 200€ and AC/DC 153€ per person, no, I'm not prepared to pay that.

The BEST concert I've been to....
I'd have to go with Iron Maiden (Fear of the Dark tour...with Testament and COC) at Sandstone, near KC. circa 93. Right after Testament(also one of my top 10), a huge thunderstorm rolled through, and Maiden was delayed. When Maiden came out, the backdrop was all the lightning (certainly couldn't hear the thunder anymore!) as the storm passed off in the distance.
Iron Maiden 4x Megadeth 5x Metallica 3x Helloween 3x Ozzy 3x Sabaton 3x Volbeat 2x Ghost, GnR, Skid Row, Motley Crue, White Zombie 2x, Prong 2x, Testament 3x, Overkill, Soundgarden, STP, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Sepultura, Dio, Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, Kid Rock, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Suicidal Tendencies, Butcher Babies, Metal Church, TYR, Aether Realm, The Iron Maidens(female tribute to Iron Maiden), Kreator, Clutch, Crowbar, Anthrax, Tesla, Vince Neil, Cyra, Judas Priest, BLS, Hammerfall, Sacred Reich, Pantera, Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Sevendust, Bullet for my Valentine, Body Count, Thin Lizzy, ...
Some I didn't like (openners)...Green Jello, Slayer, Jackyl, Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Misfits, 5 Finger Deathpunch, ...
I know I'm forgetting some.
My bands have opened for Overkill, Testament(Lazarus A.D. and Unearth), Mobile Deathcamp(former bass player from Gwar), and played a show with Greta Van Fleet (before they were big).
I have gotten to meet Megadeth (w/ Friedman and Menza), Sabaton, Helloween, Alex Scholnick(Testament), Metal Church (all of which have been my musical "heroes", and all were very pleasant)...and the gals from The Iron Maidens, also very nice(Nita Strous tours with Alice Cooper). I didn't see the show, but I met George Clinton at a gas station near Ann Arbor...pretty random!
Non rock/metal... Pink (free tickets), America, The Buckinghams, The Turtles, Gary Puckett, Chubby Checker, Beach Boys, Midnight Oil, Wallflowers, ...
