What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far?

So many.....
Just recently, Jeff Lynne at the Oracle in Oakland.
Van Morrison, every concert I’ve attended.
Janis Joplin circa 1968 at Pepperland in San Rafael.
The Rolling Stones 1975 The Cow Palace.
Roger McGuinn 2008 Mondavi Center.

You attended many nice ones.

When I was in Berkeley on 1980’s, I was listening to mostly classical music.

Thus I attended only classical concerts at that time.

But now I regret not having attended "Grateful Dead" concert held at Berkeley Pavilion. .

Ii would have been fun surrounded with colorful shirts

I've been to hundreds of live shows. Three come to mind however. The most "memorable" concert that I've attended is the Grateful Dead at Alpine Valley summer of 1989. I was straight & sober that night. First time I saw them in that condition & they were GREAT! Saw them many times straight & sober after that, but the first time is the most memorable. Also saw King Crimson in Chicago mid 2000's & they were great. First moe. show was also one to remember. If you like jam bands you owe it to yourself to catch one of there shows.

You had been to "Grateful Dead" concert several times.

I am envious of you. If I can go back to 80’s, I would attend it.

I was too conservative at that time.

I thought Grateful Dead was for Hippie.

Oh my where to start!

Will keep it short and start at the beginning.

Everybody’s first concert should be on the list yes?

Mine is.

Van Der Graf Generator, yes truly... Lol
As a snot nosed 13 year old even I could see I was a bit out of place but heck yeah it was good!

Next up following week was AC/DC with Bon Scott on vocals. High Voltage? Darn right!

Then Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow with quintessential lineup of Blackmore, Dio and Powell.

Styx on their Paradise Theater tour.

Rory Gallagher in a smoky whiskey sodden dive club.

But even though was a die hard rocker it was hard to ignore the explosion of punk.

To that end I saw perhaps the most fantastic display of pure energy by a band ever.

All in a tiny underground club( crypt would be more like it!).

The Vibrators... Blew my mind.

So I decided we needed some life at the next college bash and as I was the treasurer on the student union I hired The Clash to play at at our Christmas gig.
Blew the next year’s entire budget in one night...lol
Still not quite sure why they asked me to step down the following week though.
