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.

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.

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

romuh doog · 09-09-2006, 10:29 PM

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

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.

In 1978, at college, I saw GG in the field house, sitting on the floor. I was so sure that it would be difficult to get a ticket that at the first opportunity I had to get the tickets, I rushed to get them - it was a whole hour after they went on sale, and I was sure they'd be sold out. I got ticket numbers 00001-00005.

Opening for GG was a group called Baby Grand, featuring Eric Bazilian and Eric Hyman, who later formed The Hooters. They were a popular local Philly band who got alot of airplay with "all you zombies" and Robby wrote "time after time" for Cindy Lauper" IIRC.

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.
