It would have to be Elton John, by himself, playing in Lakeland Florida several years ago. It was spectacular, just him and his piano, in a relatively small venue. We were close enough we could see his fingers playing the keys!
An honorable mention goes for Harry Chapin, also solo, playing at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon Iowa. One of the students got up on stage with Harry and sang too, they both were great together. I can’t imagine it wasn’t rehearsed at some point. This one too was in a very small venue. Harry did these concerts somewhat to get to talk politics for a bit after, and it was embarrassing as some of the people were getting up and leaving. Extremely rude.
I’m not a huge fan of Bob Denver, but I saw him too, and it was just so much fun to listen and enjoy. My college girlfriend had wanted to go, so we went, and I got to hear somebody I wouldn’t have chosen on my own.
I’ve seen Debbie Harry, Blondie, several times back in the ’80s, truly spectacular.
I can remember The Moody Blues, but memorable in a different way, as every song was about twice as fast as it should have been. They must have had a plane to catch.
