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.

Well let's see, I saw the Ramones at least fifteen times, likely more, so I'll pick the first dozen or so times I saw them as that was with the original band. Can't beat that.

I’ve had a few memorable shows for different reasons. Overall the most fun and entertaining was Hall&Oates at Bethel woods.  They came on full of energy ripped thru all of their hits and played them like with an enthusiasm like it’s the first time they played them.  Now they hate each other….go figure. 
 

Next is Van Halen with Hagar at izod arena in NJ…. They were great. Eddie was sober.  And a marvel to watch but their opening act was a largely unknown Alice In Chains and they blew me away.  I wondered who these guys were and now we know …very talented guys. Great live.

Another is The Cult at wellmont theater in Montclair, NJ.  They came on and played nearly 2hrs of straight up meat and potatoes rock n roll.  All killer no filler.

Radiohead at MSG for their technical wizardry.

John Fogerty at St. Augustine- he finally had control of his catalog and played them like long lost old friends.  
And the worst show- Joe Jackson barely played any hits, played new stuff and claimed he wasn’t an oldies act. Way to alienate a fan base.
