Concert Guide: Best Concerts in America

In its purest, most exciting and tran sportive form, concerts are a performance art - a live thing. This special section of GenxRevealed celebrates the best and most historically significant concert events in America.

The best concerts tend to catch you off guard with a spontaneous, inclusive good will that takes the form of stellar playing or gushy audience-loving enthusiasm, or, if you're really lucky, both. Our list of best concerts outshone the ones that merely walked through their set list for another town, another audience, another contract, proving instead that inspiration is a dish best served hot -- as when the artist is on a creative roll.

Below is a list of the best concerts in the country. We will continue to review and add contenders to this list.
