Hi Dan.. My favorite concert was my very first concert.. The Jimi Hendrix Experience in Kansas City in 1968.. Electric Ladyland had just been released.. My mind was blown.. Being 71 years old I have been fortunate to have seen all the greats.. Bobby Gass and I have seen them all.. Garen

My head would explode trying to list them all - Ween, Jethro Tull (with Procol Harum opening), Neil Young (with Booker T and MGs backing him, Soundgarden and Blind Melon opening), Daniel Johnston, Polyphonic Spree, Kinks (backstage passes, watched ON STAGE in a VIP section), Beck (Apples in Stereo opening), Mazzy Star (Sparklehorse Opening), John Cale (with Stereolab opening), Double Bill of Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Awesome video Dan!! I wish I got to see INXS. I liked them but didn’t truly appreciate them til much later. The band that stood out from your list was the Mooney Suzuki. I’ve seen them a few times, always good, but one time in particular they absolutely destroyed. I think they were opening. Middle size rock club 100-200 people were there. They were on total fire! Felt like I saw the Who in 1966!! Enjoyed this video very much!! Cheers, Jon

Best live show I ever attended was ...The Tragically Hip. Gord Downie was a genius. Incredible band!

Been to a few gigs....the best two i can remember are Arthur Lee at a small pub at Finsbury Park in the 90s and Hawkwind somewhere in London....bests....

A couple of my top 10. 1975 Cleveland Stadium, World Series of Rock - Rod Stewart & the Faces, Uriah Heep, Aerosmith, Blue Oyster Cult and Mahogany Rush. I believe tickets were $12.50. Lol. 1975 Stanley Theater Pittsburgh - Kansas. Springsteen 4 Times. Great vid. ✌️

I started seeing shows in 65’. That’s when the screaming was at its peak! Been very fortunate to have seen so many over the years. Boils down to four mind blowage shows. Any Ravi Shankar show I’ve seen. Frank Zappa w/Tony Bozio on drums as a four piece band! Led Zeppelin w James Gang opening in 69’. By the way the James Gang blew them off the stage. Pink Floyd in 72’ with quadraphonic PA setup! I’m sure I’ve forgotten more than I could remember. 🖖🚀

One more I flashed on baby! I saw Henry Rollins in the early 90’s at Slims ( a very cool club in the citySF) doing an amazing stand up social commentary thing. Blistering as if he was playing w/ Black Flag. Wow thanks for triggering my burned out brain-o-scope! 🖖🚀

I saw Kraftwerk in 1981 on the Computer World tour ..I was only 15 and it blew my mind ..

Frank Zappa three times, front row in '80. Nirvana two times ('91 club gig) and '93, The Jam, my first concert '78, Deep Purple '85, The Who '80, saw them many times, Neil Young and Crazy Horse '91 saw Neil many times, Devo '81 and '82, Oingo Boingo '83, Tom Petty '81 saw him a few times, Pearl Jam '91, Chuck Berry '80 and '82, Kinks '81 the Ramones opened, Pink Floyd '94, 1982 US Festival all three days. I'll stop there. My concert days are pretty much behind me now.

Dang it Dan.... memory banks overload, but here's a list, with Alice Cooper '73, probably my fave/first, others included, Edgar Broughton '74, Television '77, Ramones '77, Talking Heads '77, Blondie '77/'78, Spirit, Randy California (solo), Hawkwind, and The Cult, all in the '80's/'90's.

Dan also so the most Reverend Horton Heat a couple of times in the 90’s outstanding stuff, and the Beastie Boys slayed their show and the last show I saw before Covid was The Offspring in Edmonton I flew out to go with my brother, punk rock shows bring the energy. The first show when I was thirteen was The Who (Who’s Last tour - liars lol) and the loudest show was Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar fronting his new band Grady my ears still aren’t right

Cult Electric tour, 1987? Hammersmith Odeon Prince - Lovesexy tour Wembley Arena 1986 Ride, a small pub in 1989 before the first album came out REM, Green tour Leicester 1989. My Bloody Valentine, Bristol Loveless tour and Rollercoaster, Cardiff 90/91 Raconteurs Eden Project - Jack White's solo on Blue Veins blew my mind! Phoebe Bridgers on the garden stage Green Man Festival. Aldous Harding, Totnes upstairs in a tiny crammed room, couldn't really even see her, but could feel the intensity! Air/Super Furry Animals, Eden Project, Cornwall. Magical. Oh Sees, Bristol, thunderous. Bubbling under Smashing Pumpkins w The Verve Siamese Dream tour. Bands I adore/adored that I haven't seen: Radiohead and The Smith's.

Most of my favourite shows were late 70's early 80's as a teenager. The Clash ( Give Em Enough Rope Tour ) Topper Headon on drums 🥁 ! , Elvis Costello & Nick Lowe .. what a double bill & at The world famous Whisky , Peter Gabriel ( Melty Tour ) Tony Levin looks the same today as he did than , PIL ( Metal Box tour ) , Keith Levine on 🎸 , Gang Of Four ( Magic Mountain amusement park ! , Bob Dylan ( The Forum 1979 ) , The Smiths ( Back To Back nights Hollywood Palladium 1985 ) , Blondie ( Greek Theater ) , U2 ( Boy Tour Country Club ) , Tin Machine ( The Roxy 500 seat club ) .. others Frank Sinatra ! , The Damned , Ultravox ( with both John Foxx & Midge Ure ) X , XTC , Wall Of Voodoo , The The .. New Order ,The Cure ..

Hey Dan. It's so hard to narrow down my top level shows, since I've been to literally hundreds of concerts. Whittling down just the over 100 Grateful Dead shows in the late 1980s to mid-90s would be daunting. Let me think about it for awhile and get back to you. Hmmmmmm

Holy crap dude ! Where u ever home ?

1991 - Jane's Addiction w/ Rollins Band, RHCP w/ Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam. 1992 - Pantera w/ Crowbar, Beastie Boys w/ Rollins Band and Ice Cube 1994 - Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead 1999 - Maiden w/ Clutch and Monster Magnet, Sabbath w/ Pantera 2003 - Maiden w/ Dio and Motorhead 2024 - Dead and Co at the Sphere in Vegas will probably make Top 10

For some reason, I’ve always been a little underwhelmed by live music even though I’ve seen many bands whose albums I love. I’m maybe a little weird, but I always don’t see the point of artists re-creating their songs onstage, playing the hits, and crowds over-emoting and basically celebrating their own coolness. I much more appreciate the time and place and conditions and craft that go into birthing an album in the studio. It’s more like a novel or painting captured for all time. So, the only point of a concert for me is total immersion in a sound world. So, my most memorable concert in this vein was the Butthole Surfers at the 9:30 Club here in D.C. (still exists). It blew the roof of my head off.
