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.

Yeah forgot one:

Grateful Dead 11/5/77 Rochester Community War Memorial.  General Admission.  Drove 8 hours to the show without tickets,  Got tix, then drove 8 hours back after the show, leaving a college classmate because he couldn't find us-- he was probably wasted on acid.  (Dick's Picks Vol. 34)
