:eyes: I have seen alot of pretty great shows.....I enjoy watching anyone who can play a guitar so my focus has always been on the best pickers on the planet! (Or at least the ones I enjoyed the most) I have seen Clapton about 10 times, Robert Cray 6 times, BB King 5 times, Buddy Guy, Pink Floyd, Kenny Wayne Shepard, AC/DC 2 times, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac (Lindsay B#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&gham gets an honorable mention), #^&#^&#^&#^&ey Betts, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler......crap I can't remember them all.......but the best show I have ever seen live......was Stevie Ray Vaughan any one of the 8 times I saw him live! The first time I ever saw him was at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium back about 1986-87?? I had 8th row floor seats! The bottom of my jaw had floor rash by the end of that show I was just so freakin' blown away buy the quality of his play and the incredible energy he exuded simply by playing his guitar....no jumping around or anything.....he just played like he was on an entirely different plane than anyone I have ever seen! Best of all was he sounded as good if not better live than on his albums! His one well played note was as good as anyone elses 1000 notes.......just awesome! Also of note was the last time I saw him play with Jeff Beck!!! Amazing show.....from both of them....but when they teamed up on "Going Down"......if you have never heard the recording of them doing this song treat yourself.....it was just mind blowing!! I still get chills down my spine when I hear this track!

My honorable mention is John Hiatt......one of the top shows I have ever seen......just a true showman, incredibly entertaining and had the crowd in the palm of his hand! One of the greatest songwriters ever and a very gifted guitar player!

metallica on the load tour. although i hated that album and anything beyond it, that tour was incredible. i saw them 4 times on that tour, twice at the fleet center(back to back nights), once in providence, and once in worcester.

I've been to an insane amount of shows in my time.

The very best was Iron Maiden's "Somewhere Back in Time" world tour show at GreatWoods on 20 June 08.Considering all the horrible things that had happened to my dad at the time this was a needed break for me.I hung with some of the greatest fans on the planet.

Jimi Hendrix,Johnny Winter,& The MC5 at the Boston Garden.WOW!!! the added attraction was the Devils Deciples and the Outlaws duking it out at the opposite end of the floor.Jonny Winter was playing and he didn't miss a beat.Janis Joplin at the Ridge Arena in Braintree.Cream,their 1st appearance in Boston at the Jazz Workshop on Boylston st accross from the PRU. we went to the 1st show and there weren't many patrons so when the second show was to go on the owner told ,all who were at the 1st show we could stay as a THANK YOU. J.Bruce,G.Baker,& E.Clapton came out and had a few drinks with us before the second show.COOL!

The Kinks - Boston Garden in 81....amazing energy at that show.

Honorable mention goes to David Bowie and The Tubes Oakland Colliseum in 83

You ain't lived til you've heard Mondo Bondage Live

Yes and Jethro Tull 1971 at the Hampton Beach Casino. It was the first concert for Yes in the US. The " Yes Album" was released shortly after this concert and "Aqualung" had been released before this show.

Due to the Casino being overrun by the crowds the State Police were called in( some were on horseback) for crowd control. I was one of the first people in before the masses crashed the doors.
It was the last concert they had there for many, many years.

Bernzy:smokin::smokin::gu::gu:

Can't just pick one.Here are my most memorable.
Pink Floyd,The Wall-Nassau Collisium-81/82?
The Clash-Shea Stadium-Early 80's
The Kinks/Ian Hunter-Music Inn-Early 80's [Dad Fisherman-Right on with the energy]
All the J.Geils shows.
All the Springsteen shows.
Neil Young [Greendale]-Mohegan Sun
Rush-Mohegan Sun[Man,can they still rock!!]

man you older guys got to see some great shows.when Rock was still Rock.i can't even imagine MC5 and Jimmy in the same building.

i can't compare but the best show i have seen would have to be the first Lollapalooza at Great Woods.NIN,Janes Addiction,Henry Rollins just to name a few.

Being an old fart I've seen them all..Dylans 1st elec. concert w/the Band at Symphony Hall, Beatles at Suffolk Downs , Hendrix at the Garden, Jeff Beck Band w/Rod Stewart on vocals & J.Tull as opening "unknown" band at Symp. Hall ...but I have to pick these 3 tied for best. 1st was the original FleetwoodMac w/Peter Green at the BostonTeaParty...PG;the most emotionally expressive player I've ever heard and a major influence in my playing career and hands down the best live band entertainers...ever; 2nd.. The Who at the Music Hall for their Who's Next Tour. The whole building was pitch dark while the synth intro to Won't Get Fooled Again (?)played. When Townsend hit that 1st thunderous chord and Daltry let out that primal scream "Yeeeeaaa" the stage lights went on and Daltry and Townsend were about 4 ft. in the air doing their trademark mic swing and windmill...freeking unbelievable...you could "feel" the sound..my ears have been ringing ever since. And last but not least BB King @ Northeastern Univ. in 69. Most of the crowd was from the Roxbury community and I was sitting with my buddy in the balcony.. 2 token white boys.. in the middle of about 50 very enthusiastic black ladies. These ladies were standing on their chairs dancin and screamin"Tell Your Tale BB" and we were caught up in the moment with them..it looked like the crowd in that Ralph Machio/Steve Vai "duel with the devil" in the Crossroads movie. BB did 4 encores..they wouldn't let him off the stage. He was throwing guitar picks, his tie..everything but Lucille..out into the crowd. When he came back on after the 3rd encore he said he didn't have a pick left and people started throwing em back at him. He picked one up off the stage and ripped into his final tune...40 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

great post...I am jealous...

metallica on the load tour. although i hated that album and anything beyond it, that tour was incredible. i saw them 4 times on that tour, twice at the fleet center(back to back nights), once in providence, and once in worcester.

Metallica with Godsmack at MSG. GA floor, even got to high five everyone except Kirk Hammett :hihi:.

John Lee Hooker 1985 at a place called Chooies in Tempe , AZ
he cam on after 10 and freikin rocked the house like nobodies business. The guy is a legend.

Had some memorable Dead shows too
Floyd and Geils were great too(I saw them at the paradise years ago also when they tried a comeback, it was good, not the same though)
but John Lee Hooker was just unreal that night in that little club

1985 Philidelphia stadium
Live Aid , LOTS of different live acts that day

sokinwet...:claps:

the best live concert for me was probably Phish/Santana at great woods in 91. Good times.. good times.

The most memorable for me was Metallica at PPAC in 1988 for the Master of Puppets tour. It was one of the first shows after Cliff Burton died and they tore the place up. My ears rang for days after that.

The Dead and Dylan somewhere in upstate Vermont around 1994 or 1995 was pretty memorable, too. But that one was memorable for what I can't remember from that day.

To me the venue means a lot to a good show. I've seen countless arena and big crowd shows and while they are great the small venues are best.
Mountain w/Leslie West at the Blues Cafe in Newport
Little Feat/New Riders at the Music Inn(I think) in the Berkshires
Roger McGuinn at Salt in Newport
Plus all the regulars Dead,Allmans,Dylan,Tull,Jefferson Starship etc( plus the ones I forgot

Mountain w/Leslie West at the Blues Cafe in Newport


That was a great show.
With Corky Lang too... I still have a drumstick from that show somewhere...

Saw Son Seals @ the call in Providence w/ Tautog01 when I was 18, first bar show. Back when Son Seals had two legs and before he got shot in the face (true blues..)

Really difficult to pick just one. Bob seegar and the silver bullet band, Eagles Hotel cali tour, Kiss with Queen as the opening act at prov civic center. Remember a Yes concert at the civic center where they actually took the whole civic center off the planet. billy joel, fleetwood mac. I went to a concert called summer jam that had Thin lizzie, Atlanta Rhythm Section, foghat and a couple of other bands. J giels band on new years eve in beantown. It was nice back then when the best seats were only $12-$15 and cheap seats were $7.
This past summer pojekt revolution, an all day/night concert with Linkin Park as the headliner. Wife and I went to the Melody tent this summer and saw Michael McDonald good time. they were all a great show. there were a bunch more.

Can't pick one. I can't remember half of them for Pete's sake. I don't think I ever saw one show straight at least until I was 30 anyway and I don't regret it one bit. Here are 5 shows that stick in my mind:conf:
Any of the 4 times I saw Tull, always top notch
Dixie Dregs, front table at the Paradise, twice
Larry Carlton, front table at the Paradise
Atlanta Rhythm Section , Orpheum
Rush , Music Hall
way too many more I have left off. I can say I have pretty much never seen a bad concert, at least that I can remember.

J giels band on new years eve in beantown.

:wall: :wall:

I may not be as "seasoned" as some of you gents, but I have seen a ridicules amount of shows, to pick just one would be too hard...
Lots of things make a show great, the atmosphere, the crowd, the music all play a factor in a show for me.
Some of my best times were at The Dead :smokin:
Craziest crowd time, Gangster Bitch Barbie:rumble:
Best Acoustic show Dave Matthews w/ Tim Reynolds at Amherst
Even Motley Crew the Girls, Girls, Girls tour was fun too :heybaby:

Another show I saw that was both memorable and fun was Yellowman at Grumpy's in Falmouth in the summer of 2000. There couldn't have been more than 100 or so people there. The best part of the night was that Charles Barkley played bass for the entire show.

I've only started my concert going journey. Last year I saw Three Days Graces and Breaking Benjamin and the civic center I must of talked about it for a year. Then projekt revolution this july, best part of the whole day was Chris Cornell and Linkin Park. I would loove to see all of them again. :D

I'm counting the days till the Nickelback tickets go on sale next week, steep as hell prices though.

Tough one to come up with a best - I guess I've got several in a tie for first.

In no particular order:

Cream at the old RI Auditorium

Hendrix, same venue

Led Zeppelin at the Newport Festival

Sly and the Family Stone at Newport

Van Morrison, Fillmore East, and

Santana at Woodstock. Yeah, I was there but slept thru Hendrix...:sleeps::sleeps::sleeps:

Oh..from this century, Alison Krauss and Union Station at URI :hihi:

simon & garfunkel - 1982 Foxboro stadium
dylan and Tom Petty - 1986 Great woods
Neil Young - 1987 - Great woods

WHOA - those sound awesome

I've seen a decent amount of shows but the most fun in terms of participation was the Modern English early this summer in a 200 seat hall. By the end of the 2nd show everyone was up dancing and including on stage. The same org. is having them come back this new year's eve but in a venue about 2,000 seats so I'm not going as it won't be nearly as much fun.

Floyd - Pulse & DST (never got to see them before the split so the rest of ya lucky ones shaaddduppp)

Peter Gabriel, 93 or so, Woosta


Boston, 95 (or so?), Woosta, saw 4 nights

Saw The Ramones at the Metro on Landsdown st in 81-82? awesome show....another show that was just raw energy.

Ozzy Osbourne w/ Randy Rhodes on guitar at the Orpheum in '80 was another great show.

Ozzy Osbourne w/ Randy Rhodes on guitar at the Orpheum in '80 was another great show.

must have been good. Anything there is good.
Saw Charlie Daniels there, before Devil went down to Georgia fame. A way overplayed tune IMO and not even close to his best talent. They were fantastic.

.
A couple of friends and I saw the Ramones in Hull at Uncle Sams...we hung outside for awhile before and met them...tried to get in for free asking to carry in the guitars :laughs:...they were really cool, but turned us down..and said that was how they made money....we were punks :laughs:....btw the show as pissah....

best Orpheum shows
DEVO
U2
Robert Plant
Sabbath ( I had full access ) Tony Iommi was very gracious....

Grateful Dead - 1993 Spectrum in Philly

Rolling Stones - 1995 in Foxborough

Bob Dylan - Think it was 2000 in Hartford

The good old days of going to many concerts. I think it has been about 5 years since I have been to a concert. I miss it!

Love the Orpheum

Saw Joe Jackson there....another great show......MTV killed his carreer, camera wasn't very flattering of him.

Saw Aerosmith there on new years eve once too....

My very 1st concert was there.....the Joe Perry Project.....Good Times :kewl:

funny what you can remember when you try....good times is right TDF.....

I saw the Dave Matthews Band at MSG in 1997. Great show.

The best show was the Allman Brothers at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan about 4 years ago. I saw them on their 7th consecutive day and they were still tight as anything.

Cant compete with Crafty, but

Best shows I've been to have to be Pantera in 2001 and Clapton in 2001 too.

Joe perry project at a keg party 1981 in rockland ma.

I saw Joe Jackson at the Somerville Theater last year. Small venue, only a bass and drums for backup, but an awesome show.

I've seen most all the names already mentioned, but my most memorable is for the amount of enjoymenmt of the event - Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at UMass spring concert in 1977. The final show of a long day of bands. They really cooked and interacted with the audience for great time.

Also at UMass - Aerosmith at Curry Hicks Cage in 1974. Small venue, to say the least. The entire spring concert was moved to the Cage from the Stadium because of rain. They were just hitting it big. I think 'Dream On' had just made the charts.

Great memories.

by far ,,, Janis Joplin ,, Merriweather Post Pavillion in Marryland when I was 15 . She was wild .. She drank a big bottle of Southern Comfort during her performace . I was out of my seat and pressed against the stage ..What a job she did on "Ball and Chain" .. There some deep blues there brother .. Her voice was so sweet and raspy at the same time .

I was at the Aerosmith Show. I think "Seatrain" opened up for them.

Bernzy

Godsmack and Metalica.
Front row Center stage. Close as anyone could ever get...
A friend of a friend was in the metalica fan club and got us "good" seats. When we showed up to the Fleet center front door, they had us go to this special office. We thought the tickets were fake and we were in deep do-do. They said there's a problem the stage is too big so the seats you got aren't there. But we made some "extra" seats you might like..Pffttt... It was on the fleet center Ice and everyone was behind where the glass usually is We were in folding chairs right along the stage. where the ice would be. The friggin heat from the pyros could melt your eybrows. Unreal!!
Two of my friend got to go back stage and load up on autographs and schwag as well

by far ,,, Janis Joplin ,, Merriweather Post Pavillion in Marryland when I was 15 . She was wild .. She drank a big bottle of Southern Comfort during her performace .

for you eddie.....
wish I could have been there to see that....

Me and my bud saw Jainis at one of the Newport Festivals when she was at the top of her game - and yup, she had a bottle of SC stashed behind the amps, and between songs she'd reach back and take a hit off it like it was soda pop :eek5:

Dammmnnn, that girl had a tank - whew.

She was excellent with Big Brother behind her and yeah, she absolutely wailed.

Another sad case of too young, too soon.

Has to be J Geils - Is there anyone who had more energy than Peter Wolf on stage? The Pawtucket cops had to drag him off stage at the Leroy Concert Theater at 12:30 am - concert curfew was 11pm.

Gabriel when he was with Genesis in the 70s was a great show.

Zappa in Paris.

Queen in Barcelona.

Still have the ticket stubs.

DZ

Dam its all a blur to me i am still recovering :laugha:

Woodstock NY 1969. what a great time we had: btu:

Cant compete with Crafty, but

thats crazy Tyler. i was at that Rage show in Worcester back in 99 too. we were sitting in the balcony and everyone started rushing the stage so i was like F this, i'm going down there. it was friggin nuts, security guards were pummeling dudes. somehow i managed to break through and almost made it all the way to the stage. it was friggin crazy, everyone jumping up and down. definitely one of the sickest shows i've ever been to.....

i can't even begin to think of THE best show i've ever seen. seen a lot of outstanding shows from '97-'06. if i could pick 2 it would be the 2 nights that the disco biscuits played in queens at the amazura(i think thats what its called). craziest 2 days/nights of my life coupled with outstanding music...

Eric clapton during his blues tour,jimmy vaughn opened up for him and at the encore they both played together,eric clapton's hand is better than whole bands

seen so many, i'll try and remember some

All allman brothers shows, including gregg allman and bb king together in worcester, allmans reunion in madison square with run dmc, the rascals, and csn
All neil young shows, especially the ragged glory tour during the first gulf war at the old boston garden, with crazy horse - my ears are still ringing...and neil at tanglewood both times - beautiful
the dead at the garden - pick 'em
stevie ray at winter island, salem - insane, second tour with third stone from the sun
black sabbath with ozzy about ten years ago, boston - always wanted to see them when ozzy was in top form - he was
gregg allman and #^&#^&#^&#^&ey betts at the gardner ma polish american club - yes that was shots i was doing with #^&#^&#^&#^&ey
rossington collins at the orpheum in 1980 - always been a skynyrd fan and it was the closest i could get to the original lineup after the plane crash
stephen stills and america at great woods - man stills is the most underrated guitarist
stevie ray and buddy guy at em loews
and lastly - this year i saw derek trucks and susan tedeschi - awesome at hampton - DT is own his own planet now, mastering his skills with the allmans for years - sickness

DT is own his own planet now, mastering his skills with the allmans for years - sickness

Derrick Trucks is a phenom for sure. he was like 16 or something ridiculous when he started playing the Allman Brothers..

Thanks for that Matt ,,never saw that ,I really enjoyed that .. I saw her with Big Brother and the Holden Co. .. nice touch with the brass .. man she was right out there .. raw ..

Cheap Trick at La'mour Brooklyn NY 1985
They came on at 1:30am and rocked the house.
My ears are still ringing from that one.:bgi:

Zappa @ The Orpheum on Halloween

Pantera was the best live band Ive ever seen, hands down.
Marilyn Manson was definitely a cool one too, on the antichrist tour. I think I was the only one that didnt have makeup and nylons on at the strand that night. Quite the scene

Woodstock NY 1969. what a great time we had: btu:

I went to the anniversary edition in the 90's. Very cool. Lots of naked muddy people. :biglaugh:

I got to see Springsteen at the Palladium in NYC in 76 or 77. Also saw him at the Stanley in Pittsburgh I believe in 78. All of them were incredible shows and closest thing I have ever seen to something like a revival meeting as the entire crowd was going out of control. I saw Joan Armatrading at the Beacon once around the walk on ladders album and it was incredible from the lights to a super hot band I was floored. I do not know whether I had low expectations going in but she was tops and played great lead guitar on both acoustic and electric.
First time I saw Richard Thompson play electric at the bottom line was great. Allmans are always top even this years run at the Beacon was amazing. They are so good you kind of expect a level of greatness and rarely do they disappoint. The current band may be better than the original line up.

Another vote for John Hiatt (Avalon 199?)

Los Lobos (talk about tight!) with NRBQ as the opening act (early '90's)

Dead with Little Feat (Oxford ME Speedway 1988)

MAn, I miss the old show days. Havent been to a show years.

Can't pick one. I can't remember half of them for Pete's sake. I don't think I ever saw one show straight at least until I was 30 anyway and I don't regret it one bit. Here are 5 shows that stick in my mind:conf:

Larry Carlton, front table at the Paradise
Atlanta Rhythm Section , Orpheum
Rush , Music Hall
way too many more I have left off. I can say I have pretty much never seen a bad concert, at least that I can remember.


Back in the early 80s I saw I LOT of shows @ the Paradise. (saw a lot of comedy shows @ Stiches next door also)
One that ranks high on my list was Tower Of Power w/ Chester Thompson on keyboards.

Cant compete with Crafty, but

ratm puts on a great show.

I dont know if it was the best SHOW I have ever been to but the one I had the most fun at (believe it or not I am not even a major fan of theirs either but...)

Back when Six flags was Riverside and Riverside had a Speedway I saw the Beach Boys play right in the middle of the Speedway on a hot humid summer night. The cars, the music, the hot asphalt down by the river......what a blast!

Don't know how I missed this thread.

The best, hands down, was one of my first.

November 1969 - Madison Square Garden

BB King
Ike and Tina (ended their set with a really long version of "Proud Mary" with Joplin joining in.)

And "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the world" The Rolling Stones

I've seen a lot of top acts in big arenas since, but none tops Jagger's performance of that night.

I have to agree with Professor M that there are things my memory just will not recall but then again, there are things that I just will never forget as well. I am grateful that life had me work on landsdowne street then later to work clubs from Boston to Somerville. I also knew a lot of people in the radio business as well. I got to see many many bands and have seens some great performances.

My personal favorite live band is BS and The E Street Band which I have seen thirty something times. I'll never forget Bruce bringing Peter Wolf on stage to lead the crowd in a sing along of Dirty Water during the second Fenway Show. The more recent shows have not been as good as the legendary shows of the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour.

I saw a Queen's Command Performance at Wembley Stadium in London when on a "bender" with my cousin...Pink Floyd, Dark Side of The Moon...cover to cover, complete with exploding cesna....incredible show and I was but an out of control teenager and remember only so much.

I grew up in Allston and saw Aerosmith at Molly's and remember us local kids being let into the basement of the Jim Did It Sign Company to watch the Cars practice. I knew Terry and Dale Bozio of Missing Persons and met a lot more performers working at a few clubs in Somerville (Johnny Dees, Somerville Theatre, etc etc.)

I have seen Prince on a few occasions and for musical ability that little man is way above average. His guitar work stands right there with any on Larry's list and he platys just as hard...Dance music my arse.

Back in the Day Earth Wind & Fire was just off the hook at a club show and there is something special about the right mix of hallucinogenics and a ticket to see Parliament Funkadelic with whatever special guest they had lined up that week. I also fondly remember the Halloween party at the Hot Tin Roof...Entrain was building their local reputation and knew how to work a crowd.

So many shows...no wonder I go to Narcotics Anonymous Meetings!!!!!

Boston, Bad Company, Kiss and many more at the Cape Cod Colleseum.

I had alot of fun getting stomped in the pit when Green Day played at the Worcester Centrum about 13 years ago. That was the most "active" show I ever went to.
Jeff Beck about 9-10 years ago.
Zep at the gardens 2 times.
Yes, Stones

Mahavishnu was interesting
too many to remember
I like Jeff Beck

Bette Midler - lots of times, starting with 1973 and her Clams on the Half Shell Revue at the Orpheum - love her and she goes for a good 2hours non stop.......
