The best I ever saw live were Oingo Boingo, Van Halen and Prince.

Me. As a senior in HS drumming on stage for the first night of the annual Junior-Senior Talent show.

Second show was, of course, sold out too when they unplugged us and turned up the lights for playing Sympathy For The Devil, unnanounced, as the final act.

Good times.

I have tickets to see Rammstein in San Antonio this coming September.

Not sure I will be going if everything is still weird. Hoping for the best.

I lived in San Diego when it came out. I get that it isn't their best, but I have stories...

Live?

Earth, Wind and Fire in the 1970's, ZZ in the '70's and oddly enough, Leon Russel and the Shelter People: He was incredible.

Fave of all time is Buffett. His newer shows are a fraction of what they used to be, but him the band are up there in age.

Best live would have to say between David Lee Roth

Earth Wind And Fire with Chicago. Seen them together 5 times. Incredible show.

.

Whenever I see that, I always think of this. I thought I post it again. funny stuf

One of my sisters went to the College of Charleston and she got us ticket to see Buffett...I think she was dating a local musician at the time that knew Buffett. I wasn't really that in tune.

We were maybe five rows back.

Again, 1970's.

He did a long version of God's Own Drunk. It was incredible.

The 1969 tour could aptly be named THE MONEY SHOT TOUR cause this was the tour where the Stones delivered and earned the sobriquet '"The Greatest Rock and Roll Band." It was on this tour that they played with a ferocious on the edge intensity that they never matched again as at the culmination of this tour the Stones outlaw persona hit the asphalt at Altamont where they met some real outlaws in the Hells Angels. In 1972 the Stones substituted energy for intensity that they couldn't keep up and by 1975 they were bloated and sloppy Jet Setters riding high on the past acclaim.

So here it is the opening concert on the 1969 tour where you hear Jagger cajole and growl like Lucifer himself while Richards riffs sound like a howl from Hell and Taylor's soaring counterpoint sounds like a heavenly choir. But what made this tour extraordinary were the introduction of the songs Jumping Jack Flash, Stray Cat Blues, Sympathy For The Devil, Gimme Shelter and Midnight Rambler that crossed and recrossed the line between sanity and madness*. For much of this materiel's genesis came from the swirling emotional chaos wrought by the disintegration of Brian Jones, the Stones drug busts and the uncertainty about the bands future. So when you hear these songs please remember his name for after this tour the "little twerp"** didn't think he was Lucifer anymore.

* Even Jagger said that whenever they played Sympathy the audience would get "weird"

** Ry Cooder once said, "That the little twerp sic Jagger thinks that he is Lucifer.

I was in Birmingham, AL for Lynyrd Skynryd the original group. I was one of the thousands chanting Freebird Freebird Freebird waiting for them to play it. Of course it was the last song of the set.

<iframe width="1250" height="703" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QxIWDmmqZzY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I was a big fan of them, and of course living in Alabama at the time, Sweet Home Alabama was kinda popular. ;)

I have long said Freebird is the perfect length song. I was leaving Andalusia, AL downtown area by the hospital and as I pulled out of the parking lot, Freebird started. During the slow parts at the beginning I was getting out of town. By the time the song gets rolling I was driving my 74 914 just a tad over the 55 MPH speed limit. I was having fun on the back roads and passed a few cars. Just as the song ended I nailed the brakes, and pulled in to a gas station that was a clone of the one in the Andy Griffith show. It was a hot day, and my 914 had no AC. I got a Dr. Pepper from the vending machine and started drinking it. About that time a local sheriff flew past, slammed on the brakes, and pulled a U-turn and pulled in next to my car. He was the original mirror sunglasses wearing, overweight, Sheriff and he stomped up to me and I expected him to say "You're in a heap o' trouble boy" but he asked if I had been speeding on his highway. I said no sir, I have been right here enjoying this cold Dr. Pepper. I finished it, and tossed it in the trash.

If Freebird had been 30 seconds longer I would have passed him at speed, and I likely would still be in his jail on the chain gang.

For the purpose of this discussion I'll define "best" as the concerts that rocked the most. Concerts were so cheap when I was in high school that we went to pretty much all of them.

Although I've seen/heard many performances that were unquestionably better, these two combinations stand out to this day at the "rockinest" of them all.


Montrose and Mountain, fall of `74

and/or

Kiss and Rush, summer of '75

This is the real version and not the sorry azz edited version...

Absolutely KILLER version from Woodstock 69...get those feet movin..

So many great concerts, one of the best ever that I was at: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Beck in 1989, the would alternate who would open for each show.. Two virtuosos who played wildly different styles of music. I've been to see al the big name acts in the 70s-80s and this show stuck with me

I saw Rammstein open for KMFDM at the Hollywood Palladium years ago. Their first US tour. They blew me away. They literally poured a can of lighter fluid on the singer and lit him up.

AWESOME show.

Care to share? Boingo was incapable of making bad music. Everything they did was amazing. That aint easy music to play..

I used to see Boingo every Halloween at the Universal Amphitheater in the 90s, even saw their last show. Farewell is a great live album.

At 11 years old, this was the first album where I heard 'The Blues' in Rock & Roll style. I was so blown away I wanted to be like Keith Richards, play guitar like him. I begged my parents to buy me an electric guitar for Christmas, they did......... and off I went. Except I had no lessons, had no one available to teach a dumb farm kid those complex chords and style............so I gave up. Then a year later turned to the drums that my brother had, he moved on from garage band drummer to bigger things.

I could listen to that album again over and over. I know the sound quality is poor, the guitar and bass are slightly out of tune, on and on, but it's my favorite!

You misunderstood - great reference, one I have not pulled in years. I listened to four or five songs finishing some work this afternoon.

Dead Man's Party wasn't, in my mind, their best, just their most commercial.

I would have loved to have seen them live.
