Not ready to name my top 5 yet, but both August 2001 Radiohead shows (especially the second) on Liberty Island rate for the sheer power of the performance, the joy of the crowd, and (in retrospect) the poignancy of the moment.
Even that night, going to the concert by ferry from the World Trade Center marina, passing the Statue of Liberty, and arriving at a gorgeous state park to hear (imho) the best rock band out there today was something special.
And with Radiohead leaving the back of the stage open so that it framed a view of lower Manhattan--what else can I say? It was my last "classic" view of our Twin Towers, and it now means so much to me that I was there.
