Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

Hello All

Growing up I was fortunate enough to see bands such as Zeppelin in 77 at the old Chicago stadium. If anyone knows Chicago and is familiar with the Aragon Ballroom ( AKA Arrogant Brawl room) AC/DC with Bon Scott as well as Ozzy with Randy Rhoads. The coolest though was Bob Marley and The Wailers with the Stones. For the Blues lovers seen, met and partied with Muddy waters former harpist James Cotton. Johnny Winter was a cool show even though he was not at his best it was a cool show just the same.

actually , the best show i saw was a blues festival with John Hyatt, Buddy Guy (my favorite), and B.B. King...they tour came every year and I saw them 3 years in a row!

Re: Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

I have to think about what concertsI went to.

I guess Michael Hedges with Shadowfax, or Pierre Bensusan. Good stuff!

Re: Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

The 80's were kind of a blur to me; Standouts were ub40 at the Hollywood Paladium, Peter Gabriel at the Greek, Crosby Stills and Nash at Universal, and I vaguely remember being at the concert at the Coloseum in L.A. where Prince made his debut as an opening act for the Stones....painful!

Re: Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

Re: Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

now you know why they call it the arrogant brawl room

Re: Ok What were the best concerts you have seen

The best for me were,
Status Quo,
Paul McCartney and Wings,
Saxon,
Meatloaf (saw him 3 times!)
UB40,
Judie Tzuke,
Simply Red,
Thin Lizzy,
John Denver (believe it,or not!)

The very best,for showmanship,was actually Meatloaf himself!....worth every penny.
