So many I know I'll forget too many!... But stand-outs:
-- David Gilmour solo, 69th St. Pier, NYC, circa 1983
-- Roger Waters solo, with Eric Clapton guest Guitarist, Meadowlands, NJ, 1985?
-- Kinks, Roseland Ballroom, NYC (dance hall-- no seats!), w/ newcomer Cyndi Lauper opening, Winter 1985?
-- Rick Wakeman, solo w/ his band Post- Yes, Ritz Club in NYC, 1984
-- Pretenders, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago 1986
-- Jeff Beck and Santana, Jones Beach, NY Summer '90?
-- Rush-- every time, every place!!... Virtuosos all, esp. live!
John R... Respectfully, but you never saw Pink Floyd! There is NO such thing as Pink Floyd without Roger Waters!! (And, no: sorry, I cannot believe that the Hooters were an all- time great concert! 
Dad Fisherman: I'm very jealous that you saw Ozzy with Randy Rhoads still alive!! To me Randy was every bit as great at that young age, as is/ was Clapton/ Beck/ Santana. The very best "Heavy" Guitarist since Jimi H.!-- too bad "only the great die young!!"  |

Pearl Jam- Augusta Civic Center, Augusta,ME fall'97- Really small venue,general admission, its pretty much just as big as a basketball court w/ stadium seating on the sides. Unbe-freakin-lievable!!!!!! The show was so loud and you could get right up in front. Great set list, it was right after YIELD had come out. Eddie was in rare form this night, especially when all of a sudden out of the dark Maine night Dennis Rodman walked onto the stage, handed Ed a glass of wine and then lifted him to his shoulders and sang ALIVE with him. Great stuff.  |
 Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

Unquestionalby the best was the Stones at Toad's Place in New Haven. The show wasn't scheduled, but a few of us got "the word" and showed up on a Sunday night. They locked the doors at 10 and the announcer said "ladies and gentlemen the rolling stones!" Three and half hours later and most of could hardly walk or hear!

Saw Counting Crows and live at the greek theater in Berkeley, Ca. on my honeymoon in 2001. I think you could see the bee gees at the greek and it would be too cool. Great place to hang out and see a show. Other than that, the Dead at the Meadowlands in 87.

True - it was not the ultimate in Pink Floyd as the only true Floyd has Waters and my favorite Floyd would have Waters and Gilmour... But sometimes you must make the best of what's available and if the best of what is available is better than the rest?.....
(however, if you have seen Floyd live, pre-Gilmour, allow me hold your surf rod while you use the surf cane to get up on your rock  )
The Hooters show was actually pretty cool as there were only a few hundred people there. Much more like a jam at Harper's Ferry than a stadium concert.... |

94' Pink Floyd "Pulse" You know where the Pats used to play.
It would be great if they hit the road one last time.

The above concert was back in the day.
More recently I saw Chris Robinson and New Earth Mud ( his post Black Crowes band) open for Warren Haynes and Gov't Mule at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, Nov. 2004
An awesome 4+ hour show.

Eric Clapton
I have been to every clapton concert in the boston area since 1987.
The best one being 2004 at tweeter center. I saw both shows and one I was 8 rows from the stage. Absolutely amazing from that close up. He dug out some really old ones including "got to get better in a little while" which he played like he was on fire.
His 90 and 92 tours were spectacular too.
I also saw Eric Johnson at the Paradise Rock Club in boston in 2004.
He is also an amazing guitar player. Good thing I brought my ER-20's
(high fidelity earplugs), because that was the loudest concert I have ever been to. As the old saying goes, I never travel without them.....
Eric

Early 80’s King Crimson on the pier in NYC and ASIA in a (supposedly) acoustically perfect auditorium in the middle of Iowa.
