The best band I have ever seen live was AFI last year at the Koolhaus (pretty sure it was there). I sure there probably aren't a lot of AFI fans here, but Davey Havok (leads singer) puts on a show! At one point, during a long bridge, he basically walked on top of the crowd, stood straight up (on top of peoples hands) a good 20 feet from the stage, looked up at the roof and screamed this one part of the song. Sent chills down your spine.
I saw David Wilcox last year. He played at this park 30 secs from my house in Cambridge. I've never been a fan of the guy (his music is a little goofy), but damn can that guy play the guitar. As well, I've never seen so many cougars in my life. :?

1) U2- Molson Centre, Montreal, '01
2) The Lowest of the Low- Barrymore's, Ottawa '02
3) Midnight Oil- ARA '93 (the Oils were so freakin' good, they almost stole the show from the Hip)
honorable mentions:
Pearl Jam- Vancouver '03
Daniel Lanois- Calgary Folkfest '03
The Weakerthans- Babylon, Ottawa '01 and U of Calgary '03
Fishbone- the Republik, Calgary '95
The Watchmen, the Republik, Calgary '94
The Watchmen- farewell show, Calgary '03
Soundgarden- Max Bell Centre, Calgary '94
Steve Earle & the Dukes- University of Calgary '03
Rheostatics w/ the Weakerthans, U of C '99
Skydiggers w/ Weeping Tile- Wild Bill's Saloon, Banff '95
Headstones- Wild Bill's Saloon, Banff '97
Spirit of the West- U of C '93
The Northern Pikes- U of C '91

That's all I can think of at the moment. The years between 1991 and 1998 are a bit of a blur, and I'm sure I'm missing at least two-dozen incredible shows that I was witness to.

You've been too some wicked gigz
hock: I'm in Awe....
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

U2 was good in Montreal as well
I'm not a big Tori Amos fan but the show she did out at Jones beach was awesome back in 96 I think
Rancid was good when they came through S'toon a few years back
Any No Means No show from 88 to present... too many to count

1. Our Lady Peace - St. Boneventure University (1999), Olean...back in the Mike Turner era, Happiness had just came out, best show of the 15 or so I've seen, they just don't sound this good anymore and every set is the same thing in the same order

3. DMB - SPAC, Saratoga (2001)...great setlist, actually got in on a bogus ticket bought from a dirty scalper, oh well, wonderful show!! Say Goodbye, 41, etc...
4. Finger Eleven - Showplace Theatre (2001)...before there new MTV type sound these guys could tear the place apart, I'll still see them anytime there in Buffalo, hate the mellow tunes though, give it up!
