This has probably been made before, but I thought about making this after the show last night. Basically, list the specific concert moments that mean the most to you.

In order of when the events happened:

1. Catching a drumstick from Cinder Road at Warped 08. Yeah, band sucks and they didn't fit on Warped at all, but I was at the end of my radio rock phase, and it was super cool just catching it then and getting it signed.

2. Being inside Scary Kids Scaring Kids' mosh pit. It was something like my third show ever, and I didn't expect it at all. It was just such an amazing experience, and being that I've stopped caring for pits, it'll probably be my best pit experience ever

3. Getting to the front of There For Tomorrow's set at Warped 09. They were legitimately my favorite band at the time, and I was basically as close to the singer as you could get.

4. Hearing Ace sing "Ever So Sweet" from the hill at Warped 10 as ICMAM. Hearing just him sing it with the most emotion I may have heard him do so, when I was sitting with a girl at the time, and we were both singing along...perfection

5. Screaming and freaking the fuck out when Paramore played Let The Flames Begin at the Honda Civic Tour. It was the first show I (extremely luckily) got asked to do press for, and it's so far been by far the best seated show I've ever been out.

6. Being at the Something Corporate reunion show, and hearing them do I Woke Up In A Car, Fall, Cavanaugh Park, and Konstantine.

7. Seeing You, Me, And Everyone We Know, and being one of four people singing along and freaking out.

8. The entire Dear Hunter/Deas Vail/O'brother show. More specifically, just getting blown away by O'Brother with one of the best pure musical performances I've still seen to date, the lead singer of Deas Vail going a capella, and everyone chanting along to The Dear Hunter during Red Hands.

9. Going insane at Thursday's last song on their last tour, jumping into the pit (but getting pulled out by security because I had a bag), and screaming along to Turnpike Divides.

10. Seeing Jack's Mannequin sing Rescued, Kill The Messenger, and The Mixed Tape live.

11. The event that motivated me to make this post, a bunch of people (including I) chanting along to O'brother's Sputnik in the bridge. that one moment made the night for me.

There have been a lot of great concert moments for me, but off the top of my head... Seeing Coheed & Cambria and hearing In Keeping Secrets live. Just being on the floor with everyone singing and chanting along, one of the best experiences of my life really. It was pretty special.

1. Being on the barricade for The National at Sasquatch 2010, which happens to be the greatest live performance I've ever seen. Words cannot describe how magical that was.

2. Seeing Silverstein at Warped 20006. This was my first concert ever and I was able get up front for one of my all time favorite bands. I was also able to meet the guys later in day and got a shirt signed from them. Can't get much better for a 17 year old kid.

3. Set Your Goals set at Warped 2008. I got up front, it was the first time I've ever had the mic handed to me and it was also the only time I've ever caught a drumstick.

4. Band Of Horses and MGMT back to back during Sasquatch 2010. Band Of Horses killed it, which was followed by an absolutely surprising MGMT performance. The huge dance party in the rain during MGMT combined with Band Of Horses awesomeness made for 2 of the greatest hours of my life.

5. Seeing Broadway Calls and Polar Bear Club play the floor of the Satyricon back in 2008. The most intense, fun and overall crazy small punk show I've ever been too. It was my first time seeing Polar Bear Club play and I absolutely fell in love with the bands live show. Broadway Calls actually played an encore (only time they've ever done it in the 15+ times I've seen them) because the crowd was so ridiculously into the show.

6. The last time I saw the Gaslight Anthem in September of 2010. This band always puts on a live show that moves me, but this show stands out of all of the times I've seen them live. It was without a doubt the best setlist I've ever seen a band play live and after screaming my lungs out for nearly 2 hours, I fell in love with this band all over again.

seeing Dashboard confessional for the first time. I saw them at the hob and i was on the balcony. They closed with hands down(of course) and it just made me want to jump off the balcony.

Seeing saosin open with "its far better to learn" on an outdoor stage. They started palying before cove came out and he ran out and just the wind blowing their hair while they were playing. It's hard to put it all in words but it was epic as fuck.

I just saw Mansions play a couple weeks ago with my ex gf. We went together b/c it's both of our favorite bands and we're kind of talking again. I feel like every song he has fits me and her situation and it was unreal to be standing next to her hearing him play

Taking Back Sunday playing Tell All Your Friends in it's entirety at Bamboozle 2011

Winning 2 free tickets to the 2010 Honda Civic Tour from this site

Just off the top of my head...

1. Going solo to the Something Corporate reunion show, but making friends with and tearing up while arm-in-arm with the fans next to me during Konstantine.

2. the Early November 'final show' in '07, and their reunion shows in September and November. Particularly special when they announced their new album plans in the middle of the show. The crowd went nuts, it was glorious.

3. Ringing in 2012 singing the last line of Soco Amaretto Lime with Brand New and fans in AC.

There are dozens more. I get pretty emotional during a lot of sets. There's just something about a song you've spent countless hours listening to in your bedroom alone with headphones on, hearing it played live right in front of you, in a room filled with people singing all the lyrics. Maybe it's just me, since I go to most shows by myself because I don't have friends who really care about music like I do, but being in a room filled with hundreds of kids all appreciating the same artists as you - that always kills me. In the best way possible.

When my bro punched a dude in the face at a Kanye West concert, and talked his way out of a fight with his like three huge friends. Was great.

I think you mean Never Coming Back, if it was one of the last shows in Philly. One of his grandparents had just passed away right before the last few dates of that tour. I was there too, and I bawled like a baby.

Seeing Haste the Day's last show, specifically singing out the "I'm running, you're standing still!" line in the Still Remains song "Recovery" and multiple parts of Haste the Day's set, especially the end of "When Everything Falls." The place was electric that night.

Bradley Hathaway at Purple Door 2008, playing A Mouth Full of Dust songs I didn't know yet and destroying it. The end of "Samuel" closing out the set was insane.

Disciple playing my childhood (and current) small summer church camp in the summer of 2005. My brother coming out during "I Just Know" dressed as his wrestler-type character whose entrance theme was that song and pouring Mountain Dew everywhere Steve Austin style. (I'm shamelessly a child of summer church camp and always will be.)

Any time seeing Lecrae, especially the set at last year's Purple Door w/ Tedashii, seeing them do "Dum Dum" together, and a year before that for an encore of 116 Clique group songs with the whole line-up.

First time ever seeing Thrice, opening for Brand New, being in love with "Artist" and not knowing if they played that song, and them opening with that song.

Last year, Thrice playing "The Earth Will Shake" on that small stage with all those guys on stage on drums and singing along. Also, watching the Invisible Creature acoustic set afterwards in some random basketball court in Pittsburgh.

Taylor Swift at Heinz Field last summer. We had seats in the cheapest section, but we were dead center, so we got to see the stage head-on from above and at a distance, with the river and hill in the background lit by Pittsburgh's lights. Specifically, the cliche-yet-awesome fireworks at the crescendo of "Dear John" were amazing.

Generally just getting to the barrier and then almost dying, must stop doing that.
Oh and getting Panic! At the Disco's drum head when I was about 16 - only time I've ever 'gotten' something from a show.

[Dustin Harkins]

Kanye's 12 minute "Runaway" ACL performance.

Being front row for the Gatsbys American Dream SXSW comeback show and singing into the microphone with Nic multiple times.

The Throne playing "No Church In The Wild" and actually making me feel bad for being white with their imagery. O_O

There are plenty more.

[Craig Manning]

Bruce: Blasting into the harmonica solo of "Thunder Road" after giving a speech introducing the album. "Born to Run," when the house lights came up and I looked at the thousands of people around and behind me, just screaming along with every word. And the sax solo and everything afterward in "Jungleland"
U2: The guitar chords heralding the arrival of "Where the Streets Have No Name" are the most chilling thing I've ever heard.
Butch Walker: I've seen him 7 times, so picking one is hard, but him singing "Cigarette Lighter Love Song" a cappella on the last tour and getting to help him down into the audience during the encore have to be high on the list.
Will Hoge: Playing the last song ("Washed By the Water") down in the audience, completely unplugged.

Just seeing you had posted reminded me I forgot one of the best: U2's final encore in Pittsburgh being "Bad." Hearing that incredible song live when I wasn't expecting it and thought they were done blew me away.

1. Everything about the Brand New/Manchester Orchestra/Kevin Devine tour from 2007, but specifically seeing it two nights in a row, and Jesse or Vin ( I can't remember for the life of me, and there are no videos on YouTube) playing trumpet on Kevin's cover of Holland 1945.

2. Although I wasn't actually on stage:

3. Seeing Jesse Lacey and Kevin Devine play acoustic sets in like a 250-300 capacity room.
