I used to walk thru the warehouse where I worked as a cabinetmaker for many years sing the lyrics to "Thin Ice" and people would have a brain spasm when they realized what I was quietly singly. I'm very impressed Guitargate used Pink Floyd, as I am with Black Sabbath. My first Black Sabbath was on an 8 -track tape. They came outta the gate in 1968 playing some of the heaviest metal .

I was 8 rows back, center stage, in the folding chairs on the floor at the Omni in Atlanta in summer of '82 at the AC/DC concert. They opened with Hells Bells. They brought down a 30-foot diameter brass bell from the ceiling, and the "BONG" noises for the opening notes were made by Angus beating on that bell with his GUITAR! That's number 1. And yes, Thunderstruck is brilliant. If it weren't for Hell's Bells, that would get my vote for number 1.

Then Alex Van Halen joins in along with Michael Anthony as the rhythm section symphony gets the crowd going. THEN up top on the drum riser a spotlight on Dave, as Roth holds his one hand up to greet the fans, leaps 20 feet off the riser in to the splits lands perfectly on the stage and UNCHAINED begins!!! It didn’t get better than that and I’ve witnessed thousands of concerts! Long live the Mighty Van Halen🎸🦁🎤🥁

I have tried and tried to make myself like EVH. I can always admit when someone is a supreme talent, and Eddie sure as hell was! ...but there's just an element of 80's pop in their sound that I just can't make myself like. It would be like trying to make myself like 'Take on Me.' - I can admit it's a catchy song, I clearly see why so many people add it to summer/party mixes... but I hate that sound. That goddamned 80's pop sound. I think, had I had the opportunity to see him live, it would have done the trick... but, alas, I wasn't ever able to catch a show before he passed (and I really made an effort!). So I think Eddie will always be the guy I have the utmost respect for and greatly admire the technicality and innovation of his playing but can't stand to listen too. I really love how passionate EVH fans are about his music. I really want to share in that, but I've always felt Van Halen was the missing link in my playing. I have never learned an EVH lick. Either way, that intro sounds incredible, Friend!

I took my two (barely) teenage sons to see Kiss on their (latest) farewell tour. They opened with DRC and they shot more fireworks during that one song than most 4th of July celebrations. It was my boys first ever concert and they had their jaws literally dropped. I’ve see Kiss in their prime but I wanted my kids to see them while they still could. It was awesome for them but more awesome for me.

1) Rush, following their film intro with cartoon figures arriving at a concert while the Three Stooges theme music plays, followed by the band launching into "The Big Money." 2) Emerson Lake and Powell running down the first four numbers of their new self-titled album, starting with "The Score." What's so cool about that song is that it starts off with a series of drones announced with cymbal hits, and then Emerson starts up a kind of keyboard retrospective from his side of the stage: a sequenced FM-synth throb (1980s - i.e., the present), a fanfare from the all-analog Yamaha GX1 (1970s), and an open octave on the Hammond with Leslie spin-up/spin-down (1960s). To me at least, it was incredibly exciting.

Van Halen opening with Unchained on the 1984 tour. Ed starts with a pick slide that goes into the intro riff, Alex comes in on the snare, and then Michael comes in with both of them when the lights hit and Dave has done the splits off the stage. And the tempo is kicked up a notch from the studio version. So it just adds to the epicness.

Oh, they try by using more volume or distortion or going or a rant using the "F" word a million times per minute but that really does not make you look cool at all.

But my personal fave for over the top build and crowd intensity was U2 ‘87 Joshua Tree Tour in Vancouver opening with Where the Streets Have no Name, at a time when the band was at the apex of their career.

Then the just the guitar part starts filling in, building, then the Bass and drums bring it home and the whole thing explodes! I don't know if it was the build of it but it was spectacular!!!!

I am surprised that I had to scroll that far to find Hells Bells mentioned. Personally, I think that Thunderstruck is a bit overrated, has been overused and can in fact be a bit boring. To me Live Wire and Hell Bellsare the ones. Hells Bells was their opener on the BiB Tour in 1980. It was the very first concert I ever attended (went with a friend, we were both 14). We got to enjoy the bluesy 1980 incarnation of Whitesnake as support - and enjoyed that a lot. Then came on the bell and that spine tingling lick, the crowd just went mad with "I'm roaring thunder, pouring rain ..." and my life was never gonna be the same. That concert - of similar intensity as 1979 Let there be rock in Paris - has stayed with me until this very day. The insane performance of Angus in his early to mid-twenties is something you may love and appreciate from a film recording but in truth ... you'll really have no idea what it was like to be there. That sound, that drive and that level of complete and utter madness on stage just could never be bettered.

I saw the San Francisco show at the Cow Palace. Greatest opening I ever witnessed! Bon recently passing I really didn't know how this new guy would measure up in a live show. Angus playing the picking riff in the dark while the bell slowly descends bathed in a golden light, here comes Brian Johnson running around on stage carrying a sledgehammer. He hit that bell so hard you could feel it in your chest. I still get goosebumps remembering that moment.

At the height of his career 3. U2 - where the streets have no name 1987 4. Def Leppard - rock rock till you drop 1983 … young , hungry and at their peak popularity . Never seen a band on fire like this in my life 5. Judas Priest - hellion / electric eye … just watch the video on you tube from screaming for vengeance tour and you’ll see why

I think Jimmy really wanted to kick off each show going full blast to get people going.They did it with Immigrant Song in the early `70s then used RocknRoll then Song Remains the Same. All powerhouse songs to start with.

I was a sound roadie for Showco on that tour .That gig is in the top 10 gigs I did .As you can imagine the load out was fucked ! Also I dodged many whiskey bottles and other flying debris as I pulled all the mics after it was announced the show was over . IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL!!

Deep Purple: Highway Star. The bass/drums buildup for the intro is clearly one of the best of all time.

Made in Japan and Get Yer Ya -Ya's Out - Highway Star and JJ Flash the two greatest openers - they still give me goose bumps after almost 50 years!

I saw them in 1973 they open with Highway star. The rhythm section is so tight bass player and I think his name was Glover and Ian pace on drums. I probably haven’t seen as many shows as some of you have but that was an awfully good opening song.

All windows down, moon roof open, and Highway Star at volume 11, how can you beat that?
