5 Favorite Concerts

Led Zeppelin 77' Capitol Center. My first concert. The vibe, energy and spirit help push me to buy my first Drum set. I soon joined a working band and I am still playing concerts at 53 years old. 2nd fav was Judas Priest 79' small venue in D.C. Amazing show! We stood up after the first song (even though the staff tried to keep everyone in their seat) soon the entire audience was on their feet! 3rd Arrowsmith 3rd row cap center Pump Tour 1989, 4th Van Halen 1978 they opened for Ted Nugent at Cap center. 5th Judas Priest 1982 Cap Center "Robert Halford shouted "nobody sits down at a Priest concert!" and he was right! LONG LIVE ROCK!

In order:

Led Zep at the much-maligned old Boston Garden (a dump whose sonic shortcomings were only exceeded by the filth) ca. 1975

Van Morrison on St. Pat's Day 1982 in London

The Clash -- London 1981. Bit of a rough vibe in the audience.

Bob Dylan w/ Tom Petty & The Heatbreakers -- 1986 (Great show although I didn't realize the bar exam was the morning after the show when I bought the tickets. We left before the encores and I got home at a reasonable hour. And, yes, I passed. It was pretty easy in retrospect.)

Tie between Lou Reed touring to support The NY album ca. 1989, Radiohead ca. 2002, and Peter Tosh at a 800 seat club.
