The more I think about the concerts I've seen, the more difficult it is to pick a top 5. I do know that most would involve the Auditorium theatre in Chicago. By far the finest concert venue that I've been to.
Some memorable concerts:
Genesis, Selling England Tour at the Auditorium. My first exposure to the band and I was completely blown away.
King Crimson at the auditorium around 74. Incredible.
Frank Zappa at the Circle Star (revolving stage) near San Fran ~81. What a fantastic performance in a great venue that unfortunately is long gone.
Humble Pie at Octoberfest in Milwaukee in the mid 70's. What a band....what a party.
Pink Floyd at Milwaukee County Stadium doing Welcome to the machine and Dark side of the moon. Ranking may be due to the brownies.
I'll cheat and add one more.
Los Lobos at the Catalyst club in Santa Cruz (mid 80's) backed up by the Buckwheat Zydeco Band. Great show and fantastic oncore with both bands playing together.
