I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1967, that one I am proud of. The best though was Led Zeppelin in 1969 or1970, and Jethro Tull opened. No one had ever heard of Jethro Tull, but Ian Anderson was phenomenal. They stole the show.

I had the good fortune to work with Robert Plants godson
and because of this
I was taken to see Robert Plant & Jimmy Page down in San Diego during their no quarter tour. what made that a great show was we were guests of the Band with access to all areas backstage. and having the chance to not only meet but hangout with Plant & Page.
O.K. now having said that, any of the 20 different times I've seen
RUSH rate as the best Concert or for that matter when i went to the Hollywood Bowl this past oct 5th and saw Roger Waters preform most of the wall and the whole of darkside of the moon

I don't think there is anyway to avoid it and confronting the issue was the best thing to do. Next step would get an attendant to move you. You have every right to demand from management insurance of a good time.

REO Speedwagon, Springfield, Illinois 1980 or that same year I saw Fleetwood Mac in concert, University of Illinois, Urbana...(yeah, the school that HAL 9000 came from) The acid made them both vividly memorable. And the performances were spectacular, at lease as I remember them. Wow. Frisbees were flying all around before they opened....memories.

Corinne Bailey Rae, Love her! She was incredible, she sounds exactly like the cd so she can really sing which made it great, her band was awesome and she came back and did an encore of 3 songs, incredible! She was very humble and seemed authentic. Loved it, It was in Hollywood at the House of Blues.

the best would have to be Radiohead at madison square garden 10-10-03. i was young and just getting into them, and i can honestly say that my life wasn't the same after that. it was overwhelming. its been over 3 years and i still think about that day constantly. i cant wait to see them again.

Best Boston, Styxx and Foghat great music, great show outstanding company
Second Earth,Wind and Fire....their show (lights, fireworks, costumes) put everyone else (even KISS) to shame...and the tunes were (and still are) timeless.
