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.

Oh then there was the Stones free concert at Hyde Park, London in 1969.  But that was a couple of years ago!

@ubercar71s - I understand your selection.  I saw them in 1975 (Kieth Moon still on drums) when they played a 20+ song set heavy with Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Who’s Next tracks An outstanding event for sure!

I saw The Who Quadrophenia tour at Boston Garden,  truly amazing.   Keith Moon hit those skins so hard, he was amazing, Townshend did his windmill for almost 90 seconds straight, John Entwistle bass was so strong and gut wrenching and Roger Daltry’s scream towards the end of Won’t Get Fooled Again was something I have never forgotten.   Saw the band 3 more times but they were never as tight as they were that night.  

Forgot to mention CSN&Y at Boston Garden on their first tour after they broke up and got back together.  The guitar playing, the harmonizing was so special.  David Crosby seemed so happy, they were on my bucket list.  

Not sure I can specify The Best I have attended in the last 50+ years. Definitely the best I have attended the last ten years though, would be last fall, Roy Thompson Hall, Toronto Symphony Orchestra season opener, Carmina Burana. Over 250 people playing/singing at the same time in perfect harmony… wonderful.

@mitch2 Sounds like we experienced the same playlist. I remember the set started off with Keith Moon standing up on the  risers with drumsticks 🥁 in hand pointing Down for few moments to bring up tension after they took stage. He then came crashing down on his kit into opening of “ Can’t Explain “ Opened a whole new world of music. Surreal experience I’ll never forget!!!
