Man, Danny and crew were the sh*t, I saw them at least a dozen times from 1980 to the end. There's some great gigs listed above, I was at a few during these tours.

I think we need a top 3 for each decade, and even that would be hard! I'll eliminate the obvious stadium masterclass types like Moodies, Tull, Yes, Floyd, ELP, Zep, Who, Stones, Rush... I'll choose shows I saw in college.

  1. Devo: Freedom of Choice tour 1980, Warfield Theater, San Francisco
  2. Gary Numan: Telekon tour 1980, Warfield Theater, San Francisco
  3. Oingo Boingo: Nothing to Fear tour 1982, Keystone, Palo Alto

The above could change depending on time of day and barometer pressure. The Tubes, Split Enz, Psychedelic Furs, Clash, Todd, Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel... 1978-1982 was an awesome time to be young and stupid in college!
