Default Your favorite concerts?

A similar thread was resurrected at our old home and it got me thinking. Here are a few of mine.

Top 5

5)Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-UCSB Gym

4)Journey- Santa Cruz Civic-Before Steve Perry

3)The Tube's-Dont Touch Me There Tour-My first concert!

2)Day on the Green Oakland Coliseum-AC/DC(with Bon @10am), Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, Ted Nugent-Sep 78

1) Bruce-Winterland 1978 Christmas show 2 weeks before the Dead closed Winterland forever. He played until 1:30am and Bill Graham had to shut him down as the Fire Dept was ready to pull the plug.

Honorable mention-Lynyrd Skynyrd, Journey and Y & T New Years Eve 1978,
Rolling Stone's @ Candlestick Park with JGeils Band and George Thorogood

BB King and Buddy Guy


I was wondering the other night about concerts...And all the arenas now I bet are smoke free.....How will all the concert goers with glaucoma be able to enjoy a concert.??

The last Tom Petty concert I went to there were a lot of glaucoma patients.....
