List your most memorable live concerts
 

I was gonna ask people to list ALL the concerts they've been to, but my memory got real fuzzy real fast. Hey, it was the 70s. What can I say?

So how about listing 10 memorable concerts you've seen live. Here's mine:

1. Tower of Power and Santana at Winterland in San Francisco, my first concert, high school junior.
2. Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker, Oakland Coliseum.
3. Led Zeppelin, outdoors in S.F. somewhere.
4. Elton John, Oakland.
5. Fleetwood Mac, San Jose
6. George Harrison/Ravi Shankar, Oakland
7. Edgar Winter, Oakland
8. Peter Frampton, Oakland, outdoors
9. Yes
10. Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Ha, you wouldn't know I've been a country fan for the last 30 years.

hey you were a bay area person i see. :D

i haven't gone to too many concerts but my favs are:

dave matthews band - mountain view
sting - mountain view
red hot chili peppers and stone temple pilots - san diego
matthew sweet - san francisco
weezer - riverside
"the weenie roast" - anaheim
"bfd" - mountain view
tenacious d - san diego

I've been to 3 concerts.

Rush- hated not mine kind of music, was only 13 my older sister drug me to it. Johnson City, TN
38 Special - absolutely loved it, Johnson City, TN
Beach Boys - Atlanta Fulton County Stadium(Now Turner Stadium) loved it
Charlie Daniels Band - Free Concert in Snellville(Snellville Days) loved it

My most favorite concert of all time is any performed by Jimmy Buffett (yes, I am a parrothead!). Have seen him too many times to count.

My least favorite (and the reason I no longer like her): Stevie Nicks!!! She performed in Jackson quite a few years back, had Joe Walsh as her opener (he was well worth the cost of the ticket!!). She came out on stage, sang 2 songs, then went into her dressing room that was set up on stage. After a few minutes, she came out in a new outfit, sang 3 songs then back to the dressing room she went. This went on for the hour she was on stage - changed outfits about 6 times!! She probably only spent a total of 30 minutes on stage (it may have been even less than that). When she left the stage for the night, we got up and left, not caring if she came back out for an encore. Found out from friends the next day that those who stayed behind spent 30 minutes trying to get her to come back out on stage and she never did. Lesson learned, won't be spending money to see her ever again!

My favorite concert would have to be the Bon-Jovi Concert this past January in Dallas. Jon Bon Jovi walk right up to me and gave me a huge and kiss on the cheek.

White Zombie & Tool were my most memorable. :D

i've gone to craptons of concerts/shows, but these stand out:

Sugarcubes/Public Image Limited/New Order - Philly '89 (?) - my first big concert *ever*

Fugazi - Philly '91 - small venue at drexel's campus, but those guys put on a show

Skinny Puppy - Philly '95 - had the most interesting stage show i've ever seen

Chemical Brothers (live PA) - DC '97 - the bass in the room was *BOOM*ing and i was euphoric ;)

Front 242 - NYC '01(?) - hearing 'headhunter' live with the whole crowd singing along was enough to make the whole night

Morris Day & the Time/Patti Labelle/Prince - Philly '04 - his presence filled the room during his final concert tour

Lady Alma/King Britt/Tortured Soul - NYC '05 - soulful saturday in central park, can't beat that!

Ok I feel old now NIFER I never heard of one of those groups.

Hmmm, Cindy. Now things are starting to make sense.

Actually, can't remember most concerts but some memorable ones were:

1--Eric Clapton (Baton Rouge, some time in the mid 70's--I didn't inhale, I swear)
2--Kenny Loggins (at Red Rocks in the early 80's--loved it because of the beautiful setting)
3--George Benson (Baton Rouge in the 70's--this guy is really cool)
4--Tom Petty (Boston Garden in the 90's--again, no inhaling here either)
5--Oh--friends dragged me to an Eddie Money concert in the 70's (when he was young and very cute). I had never heard of him, but we met him after the show and he kissed me :p

hehe, don't worry. most of them aren't mainstream/commercial music. ;)

Wow! I Forgot About The Sugar Cubes!

seats when during the concert, the lights went out and when they came
up, a Stage had risen in the middle of the theatre with Melissa on it right
in front of us...the whole back of the theatre went nuts...screaming...
both girls and guys were fainting right and left...literally...it was SO FUN!

I only have one memorable concert. " Alan Jackson "

My now husband and a bunch of friends went to this concert. At the time Stephen (my husband) and I were just friends. We spent alot of time together and were great friends and so all our friends always picked on us and swore that we were sleeping with each other.... Well at this concert we both got a little tore up and started dancing... that led to kissing..... that led to making out the whole way home from the concert in our DD's van with all our friends watching......and now were married... GREAT CONCERT

Crystal

Oh, don't you start too. I'm telling you he is the hottest 48 year old ever! And he can sing and dance.

that led to sleeping together....which your friends already knew about ;)

OK...I'm confused...so you made out in your darling daughter's van??? :eek: (See other thread titled "Finally have to ask....") :)

Paul McCartney
Led Zepplein
Arlo Guthrie
Cher
Eric Burden
Rod Stewart
Ravi Shankar
The Who
Enrique Iglasis
and many more I can't remember you know the 60's

Oh Man!!
 

I have tried to see Paul McCartney, and the show was canceled due to illness. I would just love to see a Beatle live before they both completely retire!

I saw Eric Burden last year in Greensboro! That show was OH so much better than I expected it to be! That old man can STILL ROCK! :note:
