@jglacken - Sly opened for the Stones? When was this? |
No doubt, it was The Beatles, September 13, 1964, Civic Center in Baltimore. My dad took me, and it was my birthday. Another is Merle Haggard at Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, New Years Eve, with the Malpass Brothers as opening act. Of course, I have to add Dylan, but not possible to pick any one, there have been so very many. |
Actually, I have 5. 1. Creedence Clearwater Revival (2 times), 2. Alice Cooper, 3. Bob Seger many times in small clubs and large arenas. 4. Neil Young's acoustic set. 5. The Rolling Stones at the Lions Pontiac Stadium. My daughter to this day still talks about that concert. There were giant balloon people and fireworks! All within a closed in stadium! ozzy |
I have been to 4, so it's easy.
Van Morrison 2021 Paul McCartney 2014
and the one that got away the Queen. I went to my dream concert: ELO in 2019 but terrible seats, it sucked. Not the band but the experience. I felt like I was falling down into to the stage the whole time, it was so steep. Greed.

Pat Travers at a local bar in Rome NY in the late 70's. Still hear those drums after standing 10 feet away and marveling. Instant Pat Travers fan. Also, Talas fan and spent many a night in clubs in awe of their power of the trio. The drummer had the sweetest voice and of course there was Sheehan making love to his bass. |
