Second runner up might be one of the times I saw Rush, or an early Robert Plant concert, not too long after Led Zeppelin broke up. The crowd has everything to do with a good show.

    +1 for ZZ Top, mine was part of Monsters of Rock at Donington, 1985. How they could be so loud playing outdoors? Almost but not quite bettered by Pixies at Preston Guildhall about 1990, after releasing "Bossanova". Really my most enjoyable was Orbital at Glastonbury 1994, but it was chemically enhanced, so probably doesn't count.

    I remember the first time I saw Wishbone Ash....early 70's, they were opening for Jethro Tull at the Michigan Palace I believe. Now you have to realize that the Jethro Tull fans "ONLY" wanted to see Tull.......always gave the opening acts a hard time, lots of booing, that sort of thing. Well I would say by the time Wishbone Ash had finished the first song things had quieted down alot, by the 3rd song the crown was in full attention to the show....they made Wishbone Ash do three encores...unheard of at Jethro Tull concerts. Been a loyal Wishbone As fan ever since. A couple months later I read in a concert trade magazine that Tull dropped Wishbone Ash as a opening act.....soon after they were headlining their own shows.......... Saw Wishbone Ash a couple years ago they came thru town at a smaller venue......still very good.

    Steely Dan, Aintree Racecourse Liverpool 1997. People were dancing in the aisles, everyone knew every word of every song and the (enormous) band were clearly loving it. I had a seat in the front row dead centre. Donald Fagan was about 15 feet away from me on his keyboards. Fabulous night and a free bar. I'm afraid I was very, very drunk.


    Tull in 1990 Victoria Hall Hanley was another good one. Saw them again in '94 same venue but it wasn't the same.

    Alice Cooper Special Forces Tour 1981 at the Brighton Centre, Almost naked women, live snakes, stabbings and lots of fake blood, quite an experience. I also saw Pink Floyd The Wall live 1980 at Earls Court. The tickets were a Christmas present for me and the other apprentice from the boss, sadly I wasn't really into Floyd then so really didn't appreciate what I was seeing. I think I've still got the programme somewhere.
