The Philadelphia Orchestra. Unmatched, even by the Grateful Dead, as a close second.
With Silver Convention as the dancers, they introduced disco to us kids, early and we danced.

@Roundandroundwego ... when I read "Philadelphia Orchestra", I thought they are something like the Berlin Philharmoniker or the Orchestre de Paris... 🤭

Bob Dylan and The Hawks in 1966. Never much of a Dylan fan but The Hawks were incredible. They became The Band.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
Kiss was so awesome but the band opening for them was WASP and they rocked hard as well.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Slim Dusty, Silverchair, Jimmy Barnes and the Wiggles. All in one night... it was a Scout Jamboree. 🤷‍♂
Ashleighrox · 31-35, F
Sabaton, it was a great show

@Heartlander i saw them in los angeles in 1973, 1980 and 1989
@Entwistle it was in kansas city Ks mid 80s. It stuck in my mind because a few weeks later we saw them on a TV program.
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@Heartlander Awesome,i was just curious.
Earth, Wind & Fire—tied with
Kool & The Gang
It was a great concert.
MissNen · 61-69, F
Pink Floyd in 77
ZZ Top 78
But lately a couple years ago were All Them Witch's and CLUTCH
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
Metallica, Korn opening.
Pfuzylogic · M
Surprisingly it wasn’t Led Zeppelin in 77. Two provocative and intense concerts were BOC with Montrose opening in 76. This was the “Agents of Fortune” tour and then there was Iggy Pop with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opening on their first US tour back in Summer 81.

The who, Phil collins, the rolling stones, Chicago, Trans Siberia orchestra, Paul McCartney, the beach Boys, tom petty, the blues brothers, dan fogelberg, sheryl crow and many others. None of the concerts were bad.
kodiac · 26-30, M
Trans siberian orchestra, followed by Joe Satriani
@kodiac live music is the best
kodiac · 26-30, M
@Jimbo6969 Absolutely!!
Rush, Exit Stage Left, Pink Floyd The Wall in the 80's.

But the best was my very first concert, Ozzy Osbourne, Blizzard of Oz. When Randy Rhoads was still alive. A tiny 10,000 seat venue, Swing Auditorium, Orange showgrounds. I could not hear for a week. Thought it was permanent. Summer of 10th grade. Ticket cost. 8 dollars 75 cents.
@dragonfly46 first time I saw Rush was on Grace Under Pressure and it was life altering 🖤
@DrawntoaDistance How 3 people could make that much music is mind blowing. The 80's lazer show in itself was breathtaking.
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
The group that played at the Grand Ball.

lissah · 36-40, F
The Rolling Stones
I've seen Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Springsteen, & Dylan.

But I think I was moved the most by the Grateful Dead.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
Josh Groban. Barry Manilow put on a good show back in the day, Diana Ross was disappointing, White Snake was fairly good, along with some of the other old-timers years ago!
@fanuc2013 My daughter saw him ... Manilow ... just a few months ago and she thought he was still pretty good.

:) when daughter told me that her book club was going to LV to see a Barry Manilow show my response was: WHO? Is he still around?
ronisme1 · 70-79, M
@fanuc2013 yeah, barry put on a good show and celine dion did too
LeGrotesque · 46-50, F
@LeGrotesque

I saw Kiss like 26 times and they don’t even crack the top 5 shows I’ve been to in my adult life
nuddie · 70-79, M
Iron Maiden, Genesis, Black Sabbath Status Quo
UKNaturist · M

I've only seen one - Crowbar. One "well known" that is.

If I remember correctly, King Biscuit Boy made a guest appearance with them that night.

The Tony Levin Band, 20 years ago, at a small venue in Germany.
Tony Levin: bass guitar, chapman stick
Jerry Marotta: drums;
Larry Fast: synthesizer;
Pete Levin: keyboards;
Jessy Gress: guitars.
These guys are musician's musicians. Most of them played in Peter Gabriel's early solo band.

I've been to hundreds of gigs over the years and although he's not my favourite artist, the best gig overall was probably Bryan Adams
Maybe............the Eagles. I've seen 40 of them so far.

@jackson55 The only album I know is called "Rumours" and I love it! Excellent guitar work 👍🏼
ArtieKat · M
@helenS I recommend you listen to the original line-up (sometimes known as "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac") I think you'll like their take on electric blues.
Offspring.
Living end
Weird Al
OldBrit · 61-69, M
I've seen so many bands, orchestras etc over the years difficult to answer.

But two always stand out.

Led Zeppelin way Knebworth in 1979.
And
Rush on the Clockwork Angels tour.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
The one that doesn't exist! 🤷🏻‍♂

I've yet to see any band live.
The Cure. Disintegration tour.
BohoBabe · M
Rammstein because fire.
I can't recall. But I can recall having the most fun seeing the Lords of Acid. They were so nice in person 😍🥰 It was worth the 7 years I waited.

Dave Matthews Band was awesome live too!
PenguinPuncher33 · 36-40, MVIP
I know it sounds weird but the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Hands down
ArtieKat · M
Too many to pick - all excellent in different ways.
Oneofthestormboys · 56-60, M
Tears For Fears.
