Best concert you've attended


Mine is The Doobie Brothers, at the Civic Center in Amarillo Texas, in 1976. I was 16 years old.

The weed smoked all around us was good  too.

@tomcarr I’ve been going to concerts since I was a kid. My dad took me to see Chuck Berry, Bob Seger, Queen Ida, and the Moody Blues when I was young. The  first concert I went to with a friend, sans parents, was to see New Order and Echo & the Bunnymen at Red Rocks in 7th Grade. Fortunately, I was blessed with being able to see a lot of bands for relatively cheap. Music festivals were/are also a good way to see a lot of bands too for not much $. To say that I like seeing live music is an understatement. Also having lived in Denver, DC and New Orleans over the years, the ability to see a wide array of acts (big and small) in a variety of venues has been a blessing for sure. My kids love to see live music as well! So we now do the local music festivals here in Lafayette every year - Festival International and Festival Acadien et Creole.  A few weeks ago, I saw Alejandro Escavedo here in town as well. That was also a good show. 

Tie between Stevie Nicks in Indio, CA and Paul McCartney in Las Vegas. Also Dead and Co. at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire together in Las Vegas. Philip Bailey singing 25 or 6 to 4 I will remember a long time.

@tomcarr -Nothing in music beats live music. Thanks for starting this thread. BTW--any other favorites?
