If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?


I have interest in hearing about yours.   I can think of some great concerts over the years in many great buildings, from Hancher in Iowa City, to Fisher Hall in New York, to some bars in Copenhagen. 

Something I have noticed....performers have times they are more "on" just like us, and it can make their concerts be perceived at different levels.   I know the three times I saw Jackson Browne, each was much different and most of that was his intent.  Having a good sized group with very talented back up singers to the time I saw him solo....all great, but very different.  He is a better guitar player than he may be given credit for. 

The live Jazz I have been to in NYC is near the top.  Sweet Basil and the Blue Note through the years have been very good to me, but in a much different vein, the lakefront festivals in Milwaukee are a somewhat unknown to most of America. 

I did see a few artists before their success and fame, saw a famous British singer at a bar in Rapid City many years ago..and he has done well since. 

Take care,

@arro222 now that is a great story.  Your "15 minutes" is a life-long keeper.  I hope you enjoy that memory for many years to come.
And just for fun sake, 222 is my lucky number.  It was my dorm room number at college, too.
I was fortunate enough to have seen most of the Classic Rock groups listed in this thread.  And many of them multiple times.  I won't even begin to make a list.  However, these are 6 notable ones I will mention.
Janis Joplin
Jefferson Airplane
Jethro Tull
Jimi Hendrix
Pink Floyd
The Who     I saw The Who several times but the one that most sticks with me is the North American Tour of Tommy.  That concert is the same tour as the recording of "Live At Leeds".  The recording was made in England just prior to coming to America for that leg of the tour.  Amazing!
I also saw the North American Tours of "Who's Next" and "Quadrophenia".  Memories for life...
