I saw Queensryche for the Mindcrime tour. Maybe not too legendary but totally epic.

A tour I wouldn't consider legendary, but I had a blast was 2006 Monsters of Chaos tour. David Vincent's return to Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Krisiun, and Despised Icon. They played back to back nights in SF. My neck hurt for days after.

The tour I saw a few years ago:

Priest's 1990 PAINKILLER tour with Megadeth (RUST IN PEACE lineup) and Testament opening was a biggie for me. Megadeth utterly wiped the floor with the other bands. (If I go to Mustaine's book signing in NJ next month I'm going to make sure I tell him that too. Haha.)

If you go next month try to get your pic taken with Mega Dave.

Oh, definitely. I'm trying to work out an arrangement with one of my Metal buddies so we can go to the book signing together. (I need someone with me to take the picture, haha).
But seriously, that RUST IN PEACE gig opening for Priest just smoked. I was a casual Megadeth fan at best before going to that show, by the time I got outta there I was a total Rattlehead. They were so damn good, I swear their set altered my DNA. Haha.
