I disagree, N`Sync are unoriginal, BSB were on the realz. The OGs of the 90's if you will.
However, nothing can destroy love Maki has for New Kids on the Block!

Don't mean to be mean, but you missed out! It was the best gig i have been to - truely amazing. I started out on the fourth row, and I was on the second row by the end - two metres away from Matt Bellamy. There is actually a video on Youtube of that gig where you can see me in the crowd.

I think one of the best concerts I've ever seen was Alice in Chains. Before you 
...lemme splain.
I've seen them three times and they sucked big time twice. However, back around 1990 or so, I caught 'em in Hollywood before they had even released Facelift. I had no idea who they were. My friends and I were laughing at the band name (I mean c'mon...Alice in Chains...what the hell is that?!?!)
Anyway, Staley still had dread locks. Those guys absolutley killed it. I've literally been to hundreds, maybe even thousands of shows. I've seen bands no one has ever heard of playing to an audience of three or four and I've seen arenas filled with people screaming their heads off for superstars. I've been to rock shows, punk shows, metal shows, country and western shows, blues shows, classical shows, fusion shows, jazz shows...etc. etc. etc. and I can honestly say that I have never, in all of my life, seen a band that worked so hard and put so much emotion into what they were doing. It was obvious that those guys really felt what they were doing. They were hungry for it and it showed.
A few years later, I caught AIC in Florida. They were rock stars by that time. The show was pretty dull.
About two years later, I caught 'em in Nashville. Staley was so out of his mind that he was forgetting words to the songs, he would stop singing at key moments and run around the stage, then he stopped the show all together and began yelling at the crowd to start fires everywhere...which many did.
Anyway, the show was terrible. I think all in all they only did about five songs. The rest of the time it was just Staley screwing around. It was prety terrible.
But man that first show...unbeleivable.
I guess you could say that the best and worst concerts I've ever seen were by the same band.

I'm 30 (and going to be 31 before the week is over) and I go to an average of somewhere between three and four shows a month.
Most are local shows, but I love live music. Last month I went to Victor Wooten, Solo Bass Night IV, Jackie Greene, and two local shows. And when I was at Berkeley I went/played any show that I my schedule and finances would let me. including pretty much anybody that played at Yoshi's. I figure I've been to between 500 and 600 shows. And if you count festivals (Lollapalooza, Smoking Grooves, Coachella, South by Southwest, Reggae on the River, and now Outside Lands) then I can't even count how many actual bands I've seen.
Some shows that stick out in my mind:
Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers on New Year's Eve in 1991. Nirvana killed.
Faith No More, Metallica and Guns & Roses. I left after Faith No More.
Tom Petty at the newly reopened Fillmore in 1997. Incredible (and intimate) venue for a show. I always liked Tom Petty, but he really put on a surprisingly great show.
The Flaming Lips, Hyde Park 2006. I was chaperoning my school's Europe trip and we just happened to have a free day in London during the O2 Festival. Myself, our Italian tour guide, an ex-girlfriend who lives in London and four of my students bought tickets for the day. Unfortunately DJ Shadow and Massive Attack were playing at the same time (we saw Massive Attack) but the Flaming Lips are always a trip to see.
I saw Toots in the Maytals about six years ago in a small club in Sacramento. That was really cool.
While I'm not a huge fan, it was neat to see Norah Jones at Yoshi's before her record was released.
No one else would know them, but seeing criminally underrated (and now defunct) rap duo New Kingdom at a small show in San Francisco in 1998 was awesome.
Off the top of my head those are some that stand out. But I've seen pretty much every band I wanted to live with just a few exceptions.
