One of my favorite and I missed out.

Watched Rammstein live in Tampa about 11 years ago. They put on an amazing show!

Black Stone Cherry is the best I've seen. They opened for Saliva and completely outlclassed them. These guys played 45 minutes straight , head banging, with zero interruptions. They play their heart out.

I guess this counts as a live performance.

Jewel is awesome!

I saw them with Heart, great show.

My first concert was Randy Travis with Alan Jackson and Tammy Winette. It was really good from what I remember. I was like 8. I really wish I would’ve made it to the Family Values Tour ‘98 concert. Would’ve been epic.

I’ll bet that was great.

Best we’ve been to was Tom Petty at Red Rocks two months before he died. Joe Walsh was the unannounced opening act.

Nightwish: Live in Wacken 2013

First concert, but not the best, would have been Waylon Jennings somewhere around 70 or 71. Playing under a revival type tent with folding chairs. As a kid I saw a lot of his shows that took place in store parking lots and under these tents.

I'm not a huge DMB fan, but I do love a few of their songs, my favorite being #41. It's awesome when performed live, but this one takes the cake because they were with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and it's a half hour of awesomeness.

Best I've seen was probably Ray Charles, 1982 at the Fine Arts Center, UMass Amherst. Very classy. That man was a very fine gentleman and extremely talented.

Next was Bruce Springsteen, late '75 I don't remember exactly, at the Music Hall in Boston (now the Wang Theater). Fairly small audience, maybe 3000 or so. The next year he was playing arenas. I saw him several times at larger venues and each was very good.

Maybe not the best I've seen, but the most memorable. Kansas played in 1977 at the Iowa State Fair. Late afternoon, early evening event. The stage was set up just off the front straight away of the dirt race track.

It was a cloudy and breezy most of the day, and a storm was brewing. By the time they got to sing "Dust in The Wind", I thought the entire stage and speakers were coming down, it was so windy and dusty, you could barely see them, and they kept playing.



Saw the Eagles a few weeks ago, pretty good show.

[Wathen1955]

The best for me was seeing Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Carl Palmer put up an excellent 20 minute drum solo.

I also saw ELP at The Forum in Philly, with the Allman Brothers as I remember

Keith Emerson did the rotating grand piano thing. It was epic for the time
