What's the best concert you ever went to?
ok people what's the best concert you ever went to?
if you can say for sure post it here. the best moment or song .
i have seen many live performances. probably
seeing paul mccartney at rfk stadium twice was the most memorable for me. especially when he did fool on the hill. my first major show was seeing the who perform in orlando florida during their north american farewell tour of 1982. that was really something! anyone else care to join this one?
please do!

Jethro Tull. The Thick as a Brick concert. They played like wild men, did the whole album non stop, and an hour into the concert, when they had finished the whole Thick as a Brick thing, Ian Anderson slowly stepped up to the mike and said, "and now, for our second number..."
And then they played for another hour and a half all their older stuff. I was exhausted, and I just watched.

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
It was a concert featuring Chuck Berry, Chubby Checkers, and Bill Haley and the Comets. There was no rotating stage, no pyrotechnics, no laser light shows, just me and my favorite uncle, who always took time to listen to my music, and I was more than delighted to hear, live, the music his parents hated! From him I learned the history of my own music preferences and gained a respect for all genres.

A nameless band, 1980, Swan Pub, Cannes France
I played on the street with a 12 string with an open guitar case while the othe 2 guys played inside for two sets then went inside and played with the group for the last.
Free beer ALL day and night AND we got about $50 bucks US from my guitar case the next day.
I passed out on the steps of the pier and missed the last launch back to the ship. I almost drowned when the tide came in the next morning.....the first launch had the XO on it of course.
I missed the rest of liberty for Cannes and Marseies.....we never played agian together....I guess that was the Swan Pub farewell tour....LOL!
Bad,BAD sailor!!...Down boy....down!

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
One of the best concerts I attended had to be Lynard Skynard(sp)lol, Charlie Daniels Band and the Little River Band in Indianapolis,IN around 1974. Before the tragic crash of the Skynard Band. Was an excellent concert. I saw many more bands during that time period but it was the 70s and I don't remember all of them....lol.

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
getting to see robert plant at the cap center was probably the most electrifying show for me. my head felt like it was going to split!!!
two really tight sounding bands that i remember were yes in the round at the patriot center with all the original members, alternating songs with the new members. also seeing clapton, and his band before the tragic helicopter crash that
took stevie ray vaughn from the world along with members of clapton's band.

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
Never been to one I really liked, but Brooks and Dunn was pretty good untill the woman two rows in front of us had a heart attack, and when the parramedics tried to put her on the gerne she puked all over the place and everyone scattered like scared rabbits. Then the ushers came with bleach and just about gased everyone in the imediate area.

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
Too many good ones to name a favorite. The Southern Spirit tour is one that sticks out in my mind. Marshal Tucker Band, 38 Special.... Then there's Santana, Steve Miller.... Doobie Brothers and Christopher Cross together... Can't leave out Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers.... Wish Jim Croce was still around... That would definitely be a favorite!

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
it's a toss-up.
tinsley ellis is the only person i've heard that can play guitar as well as  johnny winter. he can do this that can't be done with a guitar. i'd almost say better, but you don't forget your first love.
weird al yankovic puts on a hell of a show. never a dull moment. his band is first class, the bass player has several peabody awards for scoring programs on pbs. (plus, he is a nice guy - brought me a cup of coffee from backstage, as i was going into caffiene withdrawal)

Re: What's the best concert you ever went to?
i saw johnny vanzant at the brevard county fair
with a good friend of mine. we were yelling and screaming at the band before the show, and they started taking our pictures from the stage. when the set started johnny ran up to the front of the stage and high fived us! about two months later they opened for night ranger at the jacksonville colliseum. once again we were up in front. the band came out and started talking to us because they remembered taking our pictures.we also saw jefferson starship. with grace slick performing white rabbit that night! very cool
