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

Based upon great musicians in uniquely wonderful performances:

1.  Louie Armstrong and the All Stars, Michigan Theater, Lansing, 1951 or 2, I was very young and still amazed my parents took me!

2.  Miles Davis Quartet with Coltrane, Minor Key, Detroit, 1961.

3.  Mahavishnu Orchestra, Funky Quarters, San Diego, c. 1972.

4.  Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar, 1986.

5.  Mendelssohn Octet, Mostly Mozart Festival Balboa Park, San Diego, 1990.

There have been many other great concerts of course.  But these, other than Armstrong, stand out because the musicians seemed to be in a special groove for these performances, they were electric!  Louie was exceptional since that was my first concert, he was dad's favorite musician, and I still remember is as an outstanding experience.

It’s been a while since I thought of the commodore that place is a good time seen lots of shows there.  Always a little nervous about the border crossing.  If I remember right there are tires under the floor it made people dance that weren’t dancing

1ST: Either in ’72 or ’76 (foggy date memory), King Dome Seattle Wa.
The Eagles, Linda Rhonstadt, Jackson Brown, Dan Fogelberg, and
Andrew Gold ( and others)
They had personnel with video cameras, and were projecting scenes, from the musicians playing on stage and crowd views, onto A GIANT (at that time v) TV Screen in the arena.
A GREAT MUSICAL EVENT!!!

A CLOSE 2ND: Almost any Harry Chaplin concert anywhere:
Saw him at Nassau Community College on LI with his brother and several support musicians, somewhere else (can’t remember where) with a small orchestra, at the Univ of Idaho with two other musicians, and one time solo. ALSO: I was one of the several hundred who attended his immensely creative, unfortunately unsuccessful Broadway play " The Night that Made America Famous"
He was always captivating and personally engaging - a True Bard and Troubadour - I cried when he died ( and his generosity lives on in the LI Food Bank that he founded, named in his honor)...

3RD: The Band - Nassau Coliseum, NY.
Their music was so precise - true live showing off their immense talents. I'D SWEAR THEY SOUNDED JUST LIKE THEIR RECORDS!!!

Either of the two Dr. Pepper concerts I attended on the pier in Manhattan back in 1981 or 1982. One was the Go-Go’s opening (!) for the Specials, the other was Talk Talk opening for Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Once upon a time, I was hip.  Fun fact, the Go-Go's, which had just switched from punk to pop, got boos and stuff thrown at them, and responded by flipping off the audience.  But I said right then that they would be really big.  First all-girl band to have a Billboard number one album.

@mitchagain... I did see Bow Wow Wow back in 1982 or 1983 at the Manor in NJ. Awesome concert! Also forgot to mention Lene Lovich at some medium sized Manhattan club in 1982 or 83. When she performed New Toy, a still mostly unknown Thomas Dolby joined her on stage (he wrote New Toy) with a small keyboard synth hanging from his neck. I new him from college radio airplay of his first LP, and it was quite a nice surprise. A great show. Many great nights spent at NYC clubs in the early 80’s. Good times, good times.
