Wife saw the Beatles. She had older cousins and I did not.

Saw

Rolling Stones

Aerosmith

Who

U2 - first concert in US when they were the the U2's and many times afterwards

Bruce

Joe Walsh/Fleetwood Mac which was probably the best concert I ever saw in 1977

Johnny and Edgar Winter multiple times

Metalica a few times back to 1983 and Metalica and Guns and Roses

Monsters of rock which was Van Halen and a bunch of bands.

So many Lalapalooza and Lolita concerts

Andreas Segovia

Dave Brubeck

Jethro Tull

Led Zeppelin

Joe Pass



I should look through my scrapbook, I have seen hundreds of concerts and being there live is the real deal.

BTW,

Patsy Cline rocks.

Liberace?

Neali, you've really seen a lot of good artists. Course you live up there where most of these artists and groups perform daily, so you can take your pick. I saw Liberace when I was in college... he put on a performance in my university's concert series. It was a free concert. :D

I've lived a sheltered life.

1968 The Association - New York, they sounded exactly like their records.
2004 The Moody Blues - Detroit, a bunch of white haired old guys that sounded exactly like their records. The best time I had in years.

That is it, only two.

Gollee, you guys have seen some good acts. I'm not much for big crowds and high prices but:

Peter, Paul and Mary (I was just a kid)
Kingston Trio (see above)
Stevie Nicks (pretty good - wife bitched the whole time)
Jimmy Buffet (pretty ok)
Juan Luis Guerra y 4-40 (excellent if you like Latin music)
Bachman Turner Overdrive (2nd generation - bar scene)
Leon Russell (see above)
Allman Bros - well almost (my crew got thrown out so we had to listen from outside)
Alabama x 2 (first time was great, second time was a bust)
Dave Clark Five and Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels (DC5 was a yawner, Mitch and the Wheels were great)
