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.

The Jackson Five - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1971

Yes - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1972

Now this was that transition year from an 8th grader to a 9th grade freshman in highschool.  A massive jump in perspectives, to say the least.

Santana - Ft. Wayne, IN  Memorial Coliseum 1973

And this was all general seating, meaning we sat cross legged on the concrete concert floor and boogied with the best of them.

 

I have been to many shows in my life going back from the mid 70's through the 80's and so on I could list a ton of them but will not. Short and simple.. I just saw David Byrne at a small 2 to 3K capacity venue and I will have to say it was nothing short of amazing. It was like a moving Art presentation. Look him up some time " Who is the Sky " Tour.

Of the more recent concerts I really enjoyed was Dwight Yoakum and two bands that opened for him.  I don’t recall the name of the first band, but the second band was a Tex-mex band, the Mavericks.  If you like that style of music, I recommend seeing them.  I went to hear Dwight but actually enjoyed the Mavericks even more.  

The Who Charlton Athletic Field, London 1974 and again in 1976.

Grateful Dead Rotterdam, Holland 1972.

Pink Floyd, 1975, Capital Center Landover Maryland.

Entire Dark Side of the Moon, including live plane crash that flew form far end to crash behind stage.
