Best concert you've attended

I've seen so many over the last 40 years- all my favorites. But the one that was the best was not even on my favorite list- surprisingly it was Rod Stewart in 2024. Amazingly well done- many and varied instruments, amazingly good sound quality. I was stunned. 

Stephen Stills & Manassas, Mississippi River Festival, Edwardsville Illinois 1974.

Richard Thompson band, Rockefellers, Houston 1982

The Who 1977 MSG

Had an In on tickets in Detroit in the 70’s. So if they came, I saw them. My 3 favorites: 

1. 1970 Olympia stadium. Johnny Winter, Rod Stewart, 3 Dog Night. My first major concert. 
2. 1972 Cobo Hall. Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones. Because Stevie was from Detroit, they jammed together at the end, playing “Uptight” & “Satisfaction”. 
3. 1975 Olympia. Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton. Again, jamming together at the end. Fantastic. 

So many great ones. But if I must pick just one, it would be Al Di Meola in about 1973(?) or so. I could be off by a couple of years. It was his first solo tour after breaking away from Return To Forever. That show changed my musical tastes forever. What a band!
