Favorite Concert Evah

Title says it all. When was your favorite concert? Where was it? Who was it? Why was it? Example: 1977/Boston Garden/Pink Floyd/ In 1977 Pink Floyd toured "animals", floating pig and all. At that time they were probably the toughest act on earth to see in concert. They seldom toured and when they did they didn't tour for a long time or go to many venue. In addition, they toured the world, not just the USA.
They came out and essentially ran through 3 1/2 albums - 1/2 of Meddle; Dark Side of the Moon; Wish you were here; and Animals. No back-up band but close to three hours. Third encore was the song wish you were here. There was an old 1920's radio behind the driummer, who turned, then turned the dial, we heard Wbcn, call letters of a local radio station as he turned the dial and then the song - if you have ever heard the song you would appreciate it knowing other bands would just run the song intro from the album and not go to the excess of making sure they reporduced everything live.

I saw Prince in Maryland in May of 2015 and Paul in Virginia in June of 2015.
These are my favorites because they both put on phenomenal performances. I really can’t decide who was better. For Paul, I had really good seats and I only paid 200 bucks for my seat. That’s nothing for someone as popular as him. I lucked out and was able to see Paul in Charlottesville, VA which is a small target—thus tickets are cheaper. In larger cities you can easily pay 500 bucks or more for ONE seat to see someone like him.
PS- I haven’t seen the band as a whole, but I saw Rogers Waters solo and he performed all of Floyd’s most well known material
Jerry Garcia gets to the mic, says “I’ve been to Oregon three times, twice it was raining, now it’s too fucking hot” and hits the first chord. And off it went into 2-3 hours a Dead music. Which was good. But that wasn’t IT for me.
IT was the Frisbee game. I was pretty good at it, started playing with a couple guys out on the periphery of the crowd, then one drops out, and these two girls join the game. Two beautiful, topless gals. One, especially, was stunning to me – long sandy blond straight hair, long legs, sandals and little shorts. And they both were great at Frisbee. Long distant throws, leaping catches, behind the back catches. A sweaty, hot, marvelous time. Twenty minutes of athletic foreplay before I ran up to long sandy hair, and asked.…. Oh, right, at that point in my shy late teens, I didn’t know how to do that….. sigh.
Did remember them both in my nightly go to sleep rituals though.
The beautiful girl that is the love of my life wanted to go see Metallicaaa! to celebrate her birthday.
The Rose Bowl is not made for concerts, it offers the worst driving/parking/entry experience you can have at an L.A. venue, it is pretty much hell until you get to your seats.
However I was in heaven all the time just looking at my beautiful girl excited and happy about going to and seeing Metallicaaa!, I was with her and “Nothing Else Matters”.
Thank you for making me remember and relive the beautiful memory...
