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.

This is the building that 'Reverend Ike' used to preach out of.

"God Wants me to have 12 Cadillacs"

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)

 

32 years ago, May of 1994 Pink Floyd concert in Atlanta Bobby Dodd Stadium, part of Division Bell Tour. It was pouring rain, foggy, but nobody cared. They played just shy of three hours. Lasers, lights, massive pyrotechnics. They played Division Bell, Wish You Were Here, DSOTM and grand finale Comfortably Numb.

Unforgettable!
