Best concert you've attended

I'm a little hazy on the details but Willie Nelson and Chuck Mangione at Red Rocks in 1981. 

Bonnie Raitt @ a bar (The Airliner) in Iowa City, IA on a Thursday or Friday evening (1973 maybe).

Not advertised @ all and she was a backup musician for someone else playing @ Hancher Auditorium the following evening (forget who).

Bonnie, drums and bass (3 piece band on a tiny little stage).

Really heavy strings on her Strat (9's maybe) and an incredible guitar player/vocalist - pretty as well.

For performance 

Return to Forever, Romantic Warrior tour

Kansas, Point of Know Return tour (30th Anniversary tour was great as well)

for fun

Shelia E. - we all got to go on stage and dance with the band.

War - the lead singer gave my wife the microphone on the chorus to Why Can’t We Be Friends 

In no particular order-

Springsteen at the Meadowlands, Giants Stadium, or whatever it was called in August, 2016. Perfect weather, great show that never ended. Got home at 2:30 AM, and my first day of teaching for the new school year was the next morning. Also, my sweetie and I were celebrating our anniversary.

Grateful Dead, August, 1974 at Roosevelt Raceway. Nixon resigned that night, the jams were incredible. I was dancing with a pretty girl I didn’t know and we shared her drink, and a kiss. She dosed me. What a ride home!! Also, May, 1977 @ Cornell. Many people think it’s the best GD show. I dunno. 

Hendrix, Band of Gypsies, Fillmore East, New Years, 1970. Imagine being 13 years old.

Josh Ritter, May, 2024. Incredible solo acoustic show in my hometown, Montclair, NJ. I walked to and from the show.

NRBQ, 1979 @ Lone Star Cafe and 1980, touring with Carl Perkins. Rock n roll.

Patti Smith, Bottom Line, NYC, 1975. Horses had just been released and I scored tix minutes before the show started. The encore, My Generation, had John Cale on bass. The hype was real.
