Best Concert You’ve Gone To — Or Want To Go To?

For me it would have to be James Taylor, at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, recently. I don’t think anything will ever top that entire experience! 😀 Billy Joel, as well as Bruce, would be next on my list of concerts that I’ve been to that were absolutely fantastic.

Any concert that tops your list, or one you hope to go to?

I saw Lorena McKennitt in a small venue in Reading, Pa. It was amazing.

I have been to many wonderful concerts. I would like to see Jackson Browne.

Jackson Browne toured with James Taylor a few years ago. I was able to go to that and it was fantastic. I hope you get to see him. 😃

I doubt I will ever get to another concert. I would have loved to have seen James Taylor and Jackson Browne. Thank you.

Im not familiar with her and just now listened to her. Oh wow! Beautiful Celtic songs and her voice! Being in that type of venue with her performing, must’ve been an amazing experience! Very cool. Adding to my Spotify. Thank you for mentioning her!

Wow! Saw Charlie Daniel’s many years ago —great show. Would’ve loved to have seen Alabama.

In the mid-70s drove from KCMO to Texas for Joe Cocker; 8 of us in van; pulled into rest stop then woke being eaten by giant mosquitoes... he was well worth every moment getting there... miss you, Joe...

Now, if I felt safe, would love to see Rod Stewart again; an amazing talent who always has amazing show!

I also saw John Prine in that same Reading venue. Such a fun concert hearing John sing and tell his stories.

…..oh wow - this is a difficult question to answer.

If I had to pick just one, it would have to be back in early June of ‘84. Bruce popped into the Stone Pony….it was intense and simply mesmerizing - bookended with Thunder Road and Born To Run.
While I’ve attended seven of his concerts since then in cavernous stadiums, and had a blast at each and every one of them, nothing will ever come close to that night.

I also have to mention Bruce. I've seen him three times and thanks to his lottery system, I was able to be right in front of the stage in Hershey PA. During his concerts, he allows the fans a chance to strum his guitar when he plays Born To Run. I was fortunate to be one of them.

Unfortunately, my concert going days are behind me. My health won't permit it.

I've seen everyone that I really wanted to including the Moody Blues, Van Morrison, Chicago, Guess Who, Three Dog Night, Harry Chapin, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Martha & Vandellas and the Temptations.

My two big misses are Pink.Floyd and Peter Gabriel.

….oh I’m so glad you wrote this! Incredible experience with Bruce - wow!

Having looked at just your list, my four misses from that would be Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Martha and the Vandellas and The Temptations.

I have been to many concerts. All were excellent.

I’ve seen in no particular order:

Fleetwood Mac (3x)

Madonna (2x)

Cyndi Lauper

David Bowie (So close I could almost touch him)

Beach Boys

ELO

Huey Lewis and the News (Again such close seats)

Rod Stewart (So far away he was a speck on the stage)

Hall&Oates (I saw them for $5 before fame set in)

If I had to pick one, it would be the second time I saw The Mac because we took our 12 y.o.son with us. It was great to share that experience with him even tho he fell asleep and we had to wake him for the finale

If I had to pick a concert or two I’d wished I

went to it would def be the Beatles and the Stones

Alabama was red hot at the time so Charlie opened for them .. He put on the best show Ive ever seen and put real pressure on the Bama boys to follow him.. They definitely didn't disappoint..Unbelievable show..

If I had to pick just two concerts that I wish I could attend, and if if wishes really could come true, it would be The Beatles anytime around ‘68/‘69, and Jim Croce at a folk festival or coffeehouse in ‘72.

Now that Rush is back on tour, will be going to that if not sold out.

Sounds like a fun time! Like you don’t want it to end, kind of time!

Just saw that come across social media feed. Female drummer on board I’ve heard. Not sure if that’s true, but heard it talked about.
