Like many others on this thread, I'll echo the "too many to mention" sentiment.
But the memories have already begun flooding my brain, so here are some notables:
Loudest: Asia (1st tour). Small venue. Way too much sound equipment.
Quietest: Mr. Mister (my room-mates talked me into it). Same venue as Asia, but I think they forgot their equipment.
Best Audience: U2 (Joshua Tree Tour). Audience sang the chorus of the last song all the way from the venue to the parking garage. Cool.
Best Drum "Solo": King Crimson (Three of a Perfect Pair Tour). I say "solo" because it started with Bill Bruford, then Adrian Belew joined him on a set of 6 vertically oriented Simmons drum pads and it went from there.
Best Theatrics: Peter Gabriel (Secret World Tour). There's a video of this tour available (as well as a live album). Check it out --- it is unbelievable.
Loudest Audience: Yes (90815 Tour...is that right?). When they played "Roundabout" for an encore, the audience went nuts, I could hardly hear the opening bars.
Thanks for the memories.
