Rush. Also loved Van Halen in the early 80s. Just another schmuck in traffic - Billy Joel | |||

I worked as a bouncer at the now-imploded Capital Centre in Largo, MD. I saw all manner of great bands, Led Zeppelin (four shows on the stage), Queen, Tull, Fleetwood Mac, ELP, Yes, Sabbath, Nugent and more. For my own pleasure I went to even more shows. A few dozen Grateful Dead shows, Be Bop Deluxe (one show only, sadly), even Tangerine Dream in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. So discounting all those shows, the best live set I ever saw was The Glitch Mob when they toured Love, Death, Immortality. Here are a few bits of video from that tour. Was stone cold sober at the shows I saw, and I'm glad as the experience was two hours of sensory onslaught. I can't picture that show on hallucinogens.

A song that was early in his career, was Farther Down the Line. My cuz plays steel guitar in that and some other songs on that album. Cuz is the most humble man I know. Not bad for a musician from Cotton City, New Mexico. Trust me when I tell you, that's out in the country. | |||

For pure musical enjoyment: Jeff Beck late 70's For pure entertainment: Bruce Springsteen The River tour 1980 For the thrill of seeing my favorite all time band: The Who - Who are you tour 1980 Honorable mention to a great triple bill of John "Cougar" Mellencamp, Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker, and The Kinks. ****************************************************************************** Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet . . . | |||

I saw the Stray Cats back in the 80's at W&M hall, that was a fantastic show even from the cheap seats, https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

I haven't gone to many concerts. The best band I saw live was Earth, Wind, and Fire in their prime in the 70s. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley | |||

Probably Fleetwood Mac. Saw them in SLC in 1997 and Philly in 2014. Both times it was great. | |||

Yes is still high in my listening list. Must confess that me too had enough when Buggles showed up. Hard to forgive. Never payed much attention to what followed afterwards, sticking strictly to a bunch of live albums with the essential Yes. Will have to listen to those rwo albums you mentioned. Fun fact, i have dyscalculia, the 90something album name is impossible to remember but i’ve listened to it. By the time they released Big Generator they added the missig Roger Dean’s cover to the list of my griefs. Yet, The Ladder is one of my most likeable albums from the final Yes days. It cheers me up. Firsr saw Yes with a grand tour, all the gimmicks, impressive. By those days i was also able to listen to Going for the One while skiing at the Alps. Magnificent and matching. They had recorded some of it in that european environment and it somehow showed. The last times i saw them they were just a band, simple, pleasurable. None of the fancy stuff. But still great after all those decades. Bodies were tired but the magic was still there. PS: Billy Sherwood has done great things with Yes and check out both his Pink Floyd Tribute Albums: Back against the Wall, a must have, and The other side of DSOTM. An amazing roster and a perfect collection. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

Gotta agree, saw them in 1980 shortly before Another One Bites the Dust hit the airwaves. ----------The weather is here I wish you were beautiful---------- | |||

Van Halen 1984 tour at the Richfield Coliseum right outside of Cleveland. Roth was the lead singer at the time. Awesome show. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. | |||

I almost mentioned them. I saw them at another small Atlanta place a few years ago and it was a fantastic show. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

I like Queen. Think i saw that Tour, the one that became the Live Killers album if i’m not mistaken. The only thing i remember is that the bass player was glued to the ground and the vocal solo and the guitar solo were painfully Loooong. Skippink that, it was a great show. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

I saw Springsteen in 1977 before he started running his mouth. Always thought the first three albums were his best for pure entertainment before he got all thoughtful and moody. The Big Man and Little Stevie were icing on the cake. Runner up was Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt in a theater sized venue. Two chairs on a stage and couple of acoustic guitars. They took turns playing a song and occasionally did a duet. They just played and played. Honorable mention to Fleetwood Mac, Oct 1975, at UConn in the old Quonset hut field house.

I had tickets to see them in Norfolk,, then the Cooties hit and the show was canceled, then rescheduled at another Venue in another town, and I could not attend, I did get to see Adrian Belew last year, fantastic show, and will see him with Jerry Harrison in June, (and hopefully with Peter Murphy doing a Bowie tribute after that) https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

I think of a band as being more than 4-5 people. By that definition, it's hard to beat Tower of Power, who no one has mentioned. Others I have seen, who were great would include Lyle Lovett's large band and David Bromberg, when he puts together a band with a horn section. My brother likes Average White Band. | |||
