My Favorite Live Performance
 

Since I've Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin. Recorded in MSG for The Song Remains the Same. makes my nipples hard enough to cut glass.

how bout your fave?

Steve Ray Voughn at the Peladium in LA , in the early 80's ,
Fucking AWSOME !!!

Genesis, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, 1975, Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, fifth row in front of Steve Hackett. I was stoned, it was incredible, I think I came. If not at the show, than shortly thereafter, as my girlfriend was quite hot and energetic at that time.

That I've seen or that I've heard?

YES

Chris Isaak, twice, in a small 300-person club. The man deserves every ounce of fame granted to him. A true performer, funny as a standup comic, personable and friendly as your best mate, an overwhelming stage presence and rockin' sets that blew the room away.

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones State Theatre Ithaca Little Worlds Tour. Bela and Vic Wooten just ripped. There are about three other concerts that I sometimes call the best based on mood, so maybe I'm waiting for the next big thing... Jerry Douglas is on the horizon.


Best I didn't see, Soul Sacrifice - Santana at Woodstock that had to be the scene in a thunderstorm!

Devo - on treadmills
Gentle Giant - They rotated instruments like a volleyball team rotates. It seemed like every one of them played 3-4 different ones.
Yes - In the round

The Scorpions, Cleveland Colliseum, Early 80's, Good Sensi, No one like you:rolleyes:

Dude...right fucking on! I saw two Yes tours in the round, and I saw GG in a 1500 seat hall as warm up for King Crimson.

Gentle Giant was a stunningly original, capable group of musicians. I *still* listen to their stuff on a regular basis. My fave album of theirs is "Octopus". I've got a couple of decent live videos of theirs, FWIW.

I saw that Lamb show too, in New York, "off broadway", ha. That was a great show.

But it was much later that I thought I came at a show. I took three of my girlfriends to the Gwen Stefani concert in December in Oakland. 10,000 thirty-yo girls, what an estrogen fest. During one song, I got this....sensation...through my body, twice. The show was orgasmic.

Pink Floyd at the Birmigham Hippodrome circa 1974

First set was 'Dark Side', followed but the 'forthcoming album' Wish you were here.

we sat rght behind the mixing desk in the circle.

The Moody Blues. A surprising answer considering as many concerts as I have been to.

Sanchez and the Libido sisters.

I'm going to be the odd-one-out...but my absolute favorite live performance was seeing the Spanish Riding School of Vienna's Lipizzan stallions in Atlanta last December. The last time the SRS and its' Lipizzan Stallions were in America was around 20 years ago.

Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of their rescue by Gen. Patton during WWII. Celebrity that night, was Gen. Patton's grandson...and I was able to meet him during intermission. I sat next to his Celebrity Box and was seated 3 rows away from the arena.

The horses were beautiful, the riders were fabulous and they treated the horses VERY well. I saw happy ears, quiet tails and calm horses doing what they loved doing. In between performances there was a great amount of history and information shared about the horses, their time during the war and up to modern times.

My hubby, who thinks of my horse as just another pet who likes his beer and cookies, was impressed with the skilled riding he saw.
