David Bowie doing Ziggy Stardust February 1973 at the Tower Theater Upper Darby Pa. no idea what was going to happen. Pleasantly stoned when the show blasted off. Never saw anything like again.
Prince - 1989, Love Sexy Tour
David Bowie – twice in the 80's
Talk Talk in '86
The Ramones
Prince
(Both seen in the early 80's at First Avenue in Minneapolis).
Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel, in the concert tour that came long after everyone had become resigned to the idea that he'd never perform live again.
Pete Shelley and the Buzzcocks. Twice, at the original 9:30 club.
Bruce Springsteen at Capitol Center.
Lou Reed, at DAR (!) Constitution Hall.
Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, at RFK Stadium on a blisteringly hot day in the late 1980s, when ~80% of the 50,000 people in the audience were shirtless males in their 20s. I think there was some sort of musical performance, too.
Game Theory, in San Francisco and DC. The band that mattered most to me for a long, long time.
PS I saw the great Let's Active a lot, including one night at a short-lived little place on 15th Street in DC when the band celebrated Mitch Easter's birthday. I got a piece of cake.
Showing my age, but Ella Fitzgerald and the Modern Jazz Quartet at Tanglewood.
Janis Joplin Winterland 1969
David Bowie MSG 1983
Grateful Dead with Jerry Garcia
Jefferson Airplane with Marty Balin & Paul Kantner
Out of left field: Totie Fields
OK, I'm showing my age too.
I don't want to be the rain on this parade, but - Artur Rubenstein. (Don't judge!)
