I'll wash, you can dry.

 

It would have to be an acoustic show though.

 

Allman Brothers Band at SUNY Stonybrook, 9/19/1971. The recording sounds like crap, but the music - oh, the music! As good as anything on At The Fillmore IMO, plus "Blue Sky" and a gorgeous "Dreams." I'd love to hear it live in the room.

 

Husker Du @ Ralphs in Worcester, MA 1984. I'm from that area and in the 90's my band played there a lot. I didn't know about Husker Du then. I used to have a tape of that night.

 

Are you a Gort? Do you desire Gort status? What is with all of your attempted policing of these forums? Topics repeat all the time. Take a Xanax and let it pass.

 

Pink Floyd: Palladium Ballroom, Greenock (25th July 1967)

 

John McLaughlin with the Mahavishnu Orchestra 1973 IIRC. THE single most intense 2 hours of music I have ever heard in my life.

 

Or Doors Hollywood Bowl

 

I was at that concert

 

it's almost universally disliked, but I would pick the Mingus Town Hall concert anyway. Just to see all those people, to hear Mingus speak, to experience the music as process. I would get more from that than from a perfect concert.

 

Front row Elvis Aloha From Hawaii

 

I'd like to see Michael Jackson during the Bad tour.

 

Hendrix in Maui 30 Jul 70
or
Coltrane Quartet in '65, either at the Half-Note or the Belgium performance 1 Aug

runner-up: Beatles at the Cavern '63

 

Hendrix - Maui gig on Haleakala crater 7/30/70, last U.S. performance

 

Aloha
1974 Wishbone Ash Concert Hamburg Musikhalle
Orange Amps Setup with huge JBLs
Aproxximately 110-120Db
My Gf besides me in row 9
Woohoo great show unfortunately afterwards 2 days couldn't hear my Heidelberg Printing Press running
Since then very carefully with any noise
Cheers

 

Probably The Who in 'hotlanta '73, the show I had free tickets for, but could not go to due to a strong sense of youthful responsibility, and a conformity that was perhaps a tadful mistake. Looking back now it ranks near the top of the wagon pile of foolish decisions.

 

Since you asked today, this!!!!!

 

Pink Floyd - Oakland Coliseum 05/09/77

 

The Led Zeppelin concerts at the Boston Tea Party from January 23 - 26, 1969.

 

Yea, this is the one.

 

Rolling Stones MSG November 27, 1969. One of the "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" album.

Honorable Mention Jimi Hendrix Band of ZGypsys 1969/70 New Years concerts.

 

A Wings Over America show. Kansas City or Chicago, since in real life it'd be one of those two cities since St. Louis didn't get it.

 

Easy:
