charlie brown Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Most memorable..."The Beatles!" August 1966 St. Louis, Mo. at the old Busch Stadium. Best overall musically, and current...Paul McCartney. Other very memorable concerts: The original Byrds, Bob Dylan, the original Deep Purple, Ten Years After, Rolling Stones, Yardbirds (with Page and Beck, on the same stage), Eric Clapton...always. Pretenders, Tom Petty...and many others. Hey, I'm "Old as Dirt!" CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Tower of Power, in a crappy old warehouse/club in Santa Ana after the NAMM show a couple of years ago. Funk for days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Fugazi. They only charge like 5 dollars. +1 Fugazi is awesome. Of all the concerts I've been to, I have a few that stick out in my mind... 1) Any Rocket From The Crypt show that I went to. 2) 1994, Pgh, City Limits. -I saw Sepultura touring for 'Chaos AD', and Clutch was an opening band. 3) 2002 or 03 (I can't remember) I got to see Godspeed You Black Emperor play at CMU.

cookieman15061 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well if we're talking best in show here none tops Kiss in the 70's. I took my 2 younger brothers to see them because they were both huge fans. Their music or musicianship never really impressed me but they could put on a show. Best gig though would have to be Paul Mccartney for me. I've seen him 3 times now and just never ceases to amaze me how talented a musician and singer he is.

retrosurfer1959 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 All time best Warren Haynes especially when he goes acoustic. Most surprising was Prince a decade ago very talented player or maybe Fleetwood Mac last year wasn't expecting much and they kicked butt. Most fun probably goes to Foo Fighters they go crazy wild for hours and they took the whole crowd went with them. Say what you want about Grohl and selling out but he can put on a show. Might of helped that I was surrounded by about twenty young hotties that were partying hard in a all girl party and barely dressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 October 29th, 2009, for my Father was far and away THE best gig I've ever "been to", or played at, or attnded, or was privy to, or was "in the know" about. Yeah. That one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdistancex Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 while i have been to probably thousands of shows, ( i go to pry 5-6 a week whether local or national) and have toured almost every intercontinental state with many great bands as tour mates... i would say the best show still to date would have to be, The Black Crowes while Jimmy Page was touring as their guitarist, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd as the opener. the runner up list however would be more then this post could handle! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I saw so many legendary iconic bands when I was growing up it would be impossible to pick just one.... I must say though Yes always had the best visuals, the again I grew up in the 70's so it might have been the chemicals....:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynolds_wRap Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The show that changed my life the most was actually two AC/DC shows. The first one was October 28th 2008 in Wilkes-Barre, PA and the 2nd was August 2nd, 2009 in Albany, NY. The sound was different, Albany was much more louder and more overdriven where wilkes-barre was a bit tame and clean sounding. Each show had the same thing in common, the energy levels. Having everyone in the band being over 50 and putting that much energy into their shows, showed me to always put my all into each show I play no matter how I feel or how old I get.
