Lol, that's the exact concert I went to.

Wiz Khalifa this past summer at Toronto Sound Academy was pretty amazing, although Yelawolf is a bit of a wierdo he made a fool of some girl on stage.

RZA and GZA of Wu Tang Clan was probably the best concert I've ever been to
Del the Funky Homosapien was amazing too

Pearl Jam in 2005 at the ACC was my second show, and changed my life. I've seen Pearl Jam nine times since, and some of those would definitely make the list. They're supposed to be hosting their own festival in central US this summer, and I hope to attend!

If I were to rate all the shows I've been to, this would probably be my top ten, though in no particular order

Pearl Jam 2010 - Madison Square Garden, NY (two nights - left both nights with no voice, bruised, and a stupid grin plastered from one side of my face to the other). Having Band of Horses open one night and the Black Keys open the other made these shows even better!

Phish 2010 - Utica, NY (spectacular show - for anyone who hasn't seen them, it's worth the $50 for the light show alone)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 20th Anniversary Special - Madison Square Garden, NY (two nights - hell of a line-up, and the fact that it was filmed makes it easy to relive)

Eddie Vedder 2008 - Massey Hall (two nights - second was far better)

Damien and Stephen Marley, with K'naan opening - Phoenix 2007 - phenomenal show, though it's all a haze

Paul Simon with Jerry Douglas Band opening - Hummingbird Centre 2006

The Police - ACC 2007 - was just thrilled to see those guys before they disbanded, and I wasn't disappointed

Tommy Emmanuel - can't remember where in 2008... Any guitarists must look him up on YouTube, and prepare to be amazed

Pearl Jam - Molson Amphitheater 2009 - The opening band (who I happened to know were terrible from previous experience)'s main singer forgot his passport, so Pearl Jam decided to help out with a makeshift opening set as the sun went down! Something in the air that night made it great.

James Taylor and Carole King - ACC 2010 - Though Carole's voice was struggling, they both sang with power, and performed incredibly together

By far the best concert I have seen was the Billy Talent Concert this past year at the ACC. Touring to promote their new album, the energy and music was incredible. Not to mention the post-olympics euphoria that occured when Ben the lead singer brought a sidney crosby jersey on stage. And the encore, a three song set, with a 3 minute bass solo to Devil on My shoulder while they were thanking everyone.
