not enough brain cells to list all. best probably stevie ray opening for santana at the intrepid pier circa 1985. maybe second best dead barton hall circa 1981.

Now, you've got a corpse in a car, minus a head, in a garage. Take me to it.

Tiderunner you gotta be kidding, how can the Dead be listed in the top 5? Either you never saw the DEAD live before 1980, or you were dead.

1- Dead/Allmans/Marshall Tucker RFK in DC, I believe 1973.

2- Dead/Band Garcia's 30 birthday Roosevelt Staium Jersey

3- Crosby Stills Nash and Young the night Nixon resigned Roosevelt Stadium NJ

4- Hot Tuna Academy Music too many times to remember dates

5- Ten Years After/Buddy Miles The Garden 1970

6- Flying Burritto Brothers Stonybrook sometime in the 70's

7- Stephen Stills with Manassas- the Other End mid to late 70's

8- David Bromberg Town Hall

Really any Dead or Tuna concert in the 70's early 80's

#1 The Who at Forest Hills Queens NY they open by playing Live at Leads versions of songs and then they play Who's Next songs before the album came out or they played on radio, hearing "Won't Get Fooled Again " that first time is just ......... no words can discribe

I have seen them before and after but nothing compares to that night.

#2 Woodstock day 1

#3 Woodstock day 2

I went to see The Carpenters, The Captain and Tennille and Tony Orlando and Dawn. I really enjoyed all that hard core stuff.

Some of you guys might laugh, but to this day, “Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree” is one of the most popular songs ever composed. Is the only song sung in 145 different languages. Last time I heard it was in Watusi by Watusi warriors.

I too would have to say I've seen many of these bands and performers in my day as well. One that ranks at the top of my list would be the first Billy Joel/Elton John concert at the Meadowlands.

In short....
If there's a rock and roll Heaven,
You know they've got a helluva band!

Found some old stubs...

...hard to believe Foreigner and VH will be 30 years ago soon.
I remember ELO vividly because Jeff Lynne did a John Lennon tribute.
Motley Crue because it was Tommy lee's 1st show after getting out of prison for beating Heather Locklear. He played the drums upside down..

Crazy...

Funny, I just reread the thread and no one mentioned The Police.

I saw the Outlandos D'Amour and Zenyatta Mondatta tours, really great shows.
