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.

SRV at the Charleston WV Municipal Auditorium. Sat down in my seat and next to me is one of my friends from high school. 

And my last concert. Greene Day American Idiot tour. Terrible seats but the energy of the crowd was amazing. I was probably the oldest person there. 

And one more, first time I saw The Outlaws and hearing Green Grass and High Tides. 

And then, Bill Monroe at Aunt Minnies Farm. 

Johnny Cash, June Carter, Tennessee Three, and Carl Perkins at L. C. Walker Arena in Muskegon, MI, 1976.
