White Zombie on the Astrocreep 2000 tour in 1995 at Lawrence Joel coliseum in Winston Salem, NC. Best show I ever saw.

Three Dog Night, 1969 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena

Chicago. Early enough that Terry Kath was still alive.

1978. KISS Alive II Tour. MSG (Madison Square Garden), NYC.

Holy Shit!!

Not really "rock", but that would be Simon & Garfunkel, or Linda Rondstadt and the Stone Poneys. Both around 1966-1967, in Durham NC.
 

Another one for Motley Crew's Shout at the Devil and Ozzy's Bark at the Moon Tour at the Richfield Coliseum.

For those of you that said Night Ranger, I finally got to see them this past Friday at Ohio's Bike Week. They were F'n Awesome! It is their 35th anniversary tour.

I went to see Electric Light Orchestra in 1976. Once my girlfriend and I sat down at the concert she informed me that she had to be home by midnight The opening act was the Outlaws and they were great. Then I took her home.

They didn't have public transit?...

Alice Cooper 72

ZZTop in 1975. That was before they started using sequencers and doing dance-beat songs. Don't get me wrong - I'm not talking down the tunes like Legs and such - they were great. But, I always preferred their original sound a bit more, and in 1975, they still had that sound. Even then, in 1975, Billy Gibbons had aftermarket wiring and signal amplifiers installed in his guitars. The tone was omnipresent!

Nice! I saw them at Edmundson Pavilion at University of WA. in December '75. I remember because I got the tickets for an early Christmas present from my girlfriend. Tres Hombres had just come out.
It was a great show, nothing like some Jesus Just Left Chicago to get a crowd goin!
This thread is just bringing back some great memories....

Jean-Michel Jarre's Rendez-vous Houston, April 5, 1986.
http://www.chron.com/news/hous...60.php#photo-1188882

It was either ZZ Top or INXS. Circa 1984...

Memory is a little hazy from that time period.

-------------------------------------

The Who at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium around 1969.

Crosby Stills & Nash fall of 1967. Later on I saw CSN&Y.

Springsteen, Giants Stadium, 1985, Born In USA tour....I was 8 years old.

Who knows? Might have been Chicago. Or Tower of Power. Or War. I know it wasn't Clapton, or Leon Russell, or The J. Geils Band. Couldn't have been Santana, or America, or Peter Frampton.

Yep, it was hot as he'll and I do remember the fire hoses. Unfortunately, the Rubber Bowl is in shambles now

I wish I could roll back time! That's the stuff dreams are made of!

Yes it was. Being my first concert, I had no idea the magnitude of it all but looking back, that was a monster lineup.
