What\'s the best concert you\'ve been to? (Stradial gave me the idea)

do I have to pick just 1

lawd.. The best last year ( yall will make fun of me ) New Kids and Back Street Boy tour

Family Force 5 and SKillet puts on AMAZING shows too
 
I've never been to a concert. I've been to live shows and live plays but never a "concert" per se. :eek:
 
These are my answers, laugh all you want to.
Barry Manilow & Buddy Rich

I went to a Barry Manilow concert with a friend, I did not want to be there, but he put on a great show and to this day I am not sure if he was that good of an entertainer or if my low expectations helped make him seem that good.

I went to see Frank Sinatra sing and on the bill was Buddy Rich, for the youngsters Buddy Rich was a famous drummer like Gene Krupa.
Sinatra phoned it in, he even sang the words to "Luck be a Lady" off a score sheet.
Heck I know the words to Luck be a Lady and I'm not the one who made the song famous.
Anyway, Buddy Rich was worth the price of the show. He gave it his all and then some.
I never thought watching a drum solo could be that great.

Bon jovi did a good show awhile back but I went to one recently that wasn't that great. He did more of his new stuff and we all looked at him like REALLY... then he broke out in Bad Medicine and got us going again

He does! My husband was not a fan until he took me the first time. He could not believe how entertaining he was!

Journey
Prince (the original Purple Rain tour)

LOL! I loved that concert and Madonna's too. It is really hard to just pick one or two. I never did make it to Journey, I bet that was awesome!

Aw, gotta love a man who knows who Gene Krupa is. ;)

The best concert I have ever been to was a Schubert/Schumann concert by the ASO 15 or so years ago now, I guess, at the big Jewish tabernacle on Peachtree near the old Equifax building. The music was to die for, and the acoustics were just marvelous. I went by myself on a summer evening, and was in pure bliss.

I guess the best entertainer I've ever seen in concert is Collin Raye. FANTASTIC entertainer.

Both were great shows. I forgot Elton John - that was a fantastic show too! Garth Brooks was also good, but not the best. The worst was George Michael.
 
1) Jethro Tull, Ramada in Cocoa Beach in 1969

2) The Who, the Melbourne Civic Center 1968

3) The Kinks, Atlanta Civic Auditorium in about 1972

4) Larry Raspberry and the Highsteppers, Richards, 1972 and 1973

4) Doc and Merle Watson, Great Southeast Music hall, 1972 and 1974

5) ZZ Top, The Omni, about '75
 
Probably the most fun concerts I went to was when Fox 97 had their Ultimate Oldies Concerts. We went to every single one and had a blast!

As for going to see a single group in concert...probably Styx Paradise Theater.

You were old enough to go to concerts in '69, is why I asked. I didn't think you were much older than me & I didn't go to my first concert til '82 or '83. It was a Loverboy concert...lol.
