I like every concert I've been to. I'd say my favorite was in 1983, seeing Neil Young for the first time. It was either in Philadelphia or New York City. I saw him in both cities, but can't remember which one I attended first.

Hi catinidaho,

Neal Young is one of the few singers that I really want to see, but never have. I'm envious. And I'm a Canadian to boot!

4 or five years ago. saw bad company and skynard back to back and the opening act was fantastic too. the only down side was the idiot on the sound board. every thing was great til skynard came out and he shove everything to max. even with ear plugs it hurt. but the show was great

In the 80's I went to a Jethro Tull concert. I had a free ticket and went with my sister and her boyfriend. I was about how many songs I knew.

I got to see The Monkees play in Denver. It was the year before Davy Jones died.

I’ve been to so many, I love live music. And I couldn’t pick just one lol.

My favorites were Peter Frampton, awesome; Stevie Ray Vaughn, the phenom, R.I.P,
the late, great B.B. King. Oh, and Ted Nugent, I was about fivefeet away from stage the
entire show, the energy was intense.

On the flip side, the most overrated and worst performance goes to GNR. Way
distorted and Axl couldn’t speak without dropping the F bomb every other word.

I went to Jethro Tull, late 70's.

I really enjoyed Supertramp.

I saw Billy Joel about 1999 in New York City on New Yews Eve. He played every song you want to hear. Great concert.

Saw the Ramones... A zillion years ago.
Then, the Remains.
Then, Marky Ramone & The Intruders.

Saw the Grateful Dead a few times.
Twice in the 80s, once in the 90s.

Saw the Eagles, a few times.
Last time, i think was 2013.

I guess, Farm Aid ii, would be the one
most folks could relate to.

Black Sabbath - 1974 Melbourne AUSTRALIA - Kooyong outdoor tennis center.
My first major concert ever - it rained, but Ozzie just kept on going. Think I was about 14 at the time.

Iron Maiden at the MEN arena in Manchester a few years ago. They don't seem to get this far anymore. Mind you the Hawkwind gigs I saw in the late 70's to mid 80's were fantastic (what I can remember of them anyway :wink: ).

Oh my goodness, there were quite a few favorites I've enjoyed seeing:
Three Dog Night at the Madera District Fair, Madera, CA in 1990.
Jan & Dean at the Madera District Fair in 1991.
THe ByRDs Celebration at the Ravalli County Fair in Hamilton, MT in 1997.
The Beach Boys at Ogren Field in Missoula, MT in 2010.

Back on my 23rd birthday in 1982, I took a bus to Fresno
to see Dick Clark's Rock-n-Roll Revue at the Fresno Fair's
Paul-Paul Amphitheater to see three veteran rock-n-roll artists
from the late 1950's and early 1960's, featuring:
Freddy "Boom-Boom" Cannon, Del Shannon(1934-1990),
and The Coasters, and in 1983, Papa-Doo-Ron-Ron did
a gig at the Madera District Fair.

And back on the day before Thanksgiving in 2012,
Huey Lewis (of Huey Lewis & The News) did a couple of jazz favorites
with a Missoula-based band called The Joan-Zen.
Huey also did a couple of numbers with another Missoula-based group
known as The Big Sky Mudflaps in 2013, about a week before the band's
keyboardist and friend (Steve Powell) lost his battle with cancer.

Huey Lewis has a place in Stevensville, MT, about 20 miles NE of me.
