Best concert you've attended

It's a tie for me with Led Zeppelin twice and YES twice. We have seen at least 40 conc like the old Filmore West stuff withe the Dead , Airplane and Quicksilver which were great too and I actually remember some of it which is no small miracle.

Three more very special shows I was fortunate enough to see and hear:

- Little Village (John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Jim Keltner) on a soundstage in Burbank at the time of the release of their sole album (ignoring their earlier appearance together on John Hiatt's Bring The Family album). VERY few Pop/Rock bands are comprised of members with this much combined talent.

- Van Dyke Parks and a small orchestra in the performance theater located in the rear of McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica in the late-90's or early-ought's. Van Dyke very rarely performs live. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear this genius live on stage.

- Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham opening for Nick Lowe and his band at the Pantages Theater in the 90's. Poor Nick: he had to follow Dan and Spooner, and paled in comparison.

Van Morrison in the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville a few years ago. Front row pew. Was not too close for perfection. 

@glennstereo -I listen to Band of Gypsies periodically and I'm blown away at "Machine Gun." I don't think I fully appreciated that show, as a teenager.

@gruvjet -I played DP31 earlier today. Been a longtime since I've listened to Summer '74 shows. Thanks for reminding me :-)

Headyversion is interesting! Looking through it this morning, with coffee, I noticed how many 1977 versions of songs are considered best by voters.
