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.

@larsman - Very cool picture, Bridge of Sighs days.  I never saw him until years later at the Kalamazoo State Theatre, a very cool smallish venue for concerts. 

Hard to pick but memorable shows include Buddy Guy at Tipitina's, Dropkick Murphy's at Iron City, and Billy Strings at the Orion. 

Rolling Stones 1972 @the Palladium, Los Angeles, $6.50. Opener: Stevie Wonder 

Bookended with the insane spectacle of TSwift, Era’s Tour, 2023

Can’t pick the "best" but some memorable ones:

--Grateful Dead Nassau Coliseum 9/8/73, I was 15 years old and my first concert.  General admission, sat roughly 15 rows back on the floor. (Dave’s Picks #38)

--Genesis doing the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-- on Broadway!!  12/7/74 at the NY Academy of Music.  11th row.

--Little Feat at Wesleyan University, 4/4/78.  General admission, was one of the first in line, leaned up against the stage in front.  Could basically lean over and grab Lowell George’s leg I was that close.

Saw several great Grateful Dead shows-- many of which they have released:

6/17/76 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ (Dave’s Picks #28)

4/30/77 at the Palladium in NYC (Download Series Vol. 1)

5/4/77 also at the Palladium

5/5/77 at the New Haven Coliseum, CT (Get Shown the Light)

5/28/77 at the Hartford Civic Center, CT (To Terrapin)

5/10/78 at the New Haven Coliseum, CT (Dick’s Picks #25)

5/11/78 at the Springfield Civic Center, MA (also Dick’s Picks #25)

The reason I have all the details is because I kept a ledger of all the shows that I attended, had a hunch that it might be a good idea to keep track of it.
