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.

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

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

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
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.
