My favorite is Greg Kihn. I saw him at the old Keystone on California ave in Palo Alto in 1982. Second might be Rush at the Coliseum in Oakland or Styx at the Cow Palace in South San Francisco.

Lynyrd Skynyrd

It wasn't the original band of course, but by the end of their set I'd lost my voice. "Freebird" did me in. And they weren't even the main act. AND they're not even in my, like, top 20 bands.

It was that awesome!

First concert I ever went to was Black Sabbath in the early 70's. Saw them again when they were on the "Mob Rules" tour with Dio as singer. The Outlaws opened for them that night. An odd pairing, but very enjoyable concert. Probably the only concert I ever went to that I can recall who the opening act was.

Saw the Eagles shortly before they broke up.

Saw the Allman Brothers in a small venue. They really rocked! Probably the best concert I ever went to.

Saw Jethro Tull, Humble Pie (without Frampton), the Moody Blues, Three Dog Night, Mahogany Rush, Judas Priest, Quarterflash, KC and the Sunshine Band, Foghat, and several others. Last concert I went to was a Pink Floyd tribute band called the Pink Floyd Experience.

 

[Snouter]

Boston, Led Zeppelin (with Bonzo), Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Ted Nugent, Ozzy, Steve Morse, Al Di Meola, Paco Delucia, John McLaughlin, Frank Gambale, Allan Holdsworth, John Scofield, Billy Cobham, John Entwistle Band, Zebra, Phil Lesh, Gov't Mule, Black Crowes, etc., etc.

I couldn't possibly list them all. My first career was in the music biz when I was a wee lass.

Good times....

I would trade all the bands I've seen just to see AC/DC once in concert.

To do this justice, I'll have to revert to my ticket stubs. They are my memory. I've got them all, save for JJ Cale. They're all here, going back to 1971.

I'll get back to ya...

P.S. - my Yes folder has 30 (count 'em, thirty) stubs.

Wow, you are so lucky to have seen JJ Cale. How was he live?

Unfortunately, I've only been to a very few concerts, but my favorite one was Steppenwolf.

I was going to see them for my birthday present to myself (they were going to be in Memphis in July), but the lead singer ended up with a throat infection and they had to cancel. I'd paid over 30 bucks for the ticket and was pissed that they weren't going to be there. I did get my money refunded.

However....................a few months later, Steppenwolf decided to come back, and they threw a concert for the people on the base of NAS Memphis (located in Millington TN), and instead of having to pay over 30 bucks for the ticket, I was able to get one from MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) for only 5 bucks, and was able to get close enough to the stage that I was almost front row.

Best concert I'd ever been to. Not only did I see my favorite band, but I was in front of the speakers, and was close enough to the stage that I could have almost reached out and touched the band.

Good times..........................

Other concerts I've been to? Ted Nugent, Night Ranger, Maneheim Steamroller, and the Outlaws.

The best concert I had ever been to was THE CRAMPS back in high school (1984). I was near the stage slam dancing when some idiot from the crowed jumped on the stage and then jumped off. Where did he land? Right on my eye. I went to school the next day with a big black eye and everybody asked me what happened and I told them. For some reason this made me popular for about a week.
