Jimmy Hendrix ,7 weeks before his death, Allman Bros.at the U. of Ohio, many Springsteen, but the best, L.A. and Paris. Again ,cause of my profession have been fortunate to witness countless concerts over 30 some odd years.

From the movie Purple Rain but I like the guitar work on this.
1. Chicago….Yale Bowl, early 70’s….great brass.
2. Springsteen twice in Hartford….guy is just an animal.
3. Moody Blues….New Haven Coliseum, mid 70’s….classic songs.
Justin Hayward solo, also excellent…Garde, Infinity venue.
4. John Denver…New Haven Coliseum, early 70’s…songs and storytelling.
5. James Taylor…Oakdale, Gilford, NH….songs and storytelling.
6. Hate to own this…Barry Manilow in Hartford. (it was my wife’s turn to pick). I was blown away by the guy…what a performer! Music eh!

First place--any Grateful Dead concert.
Second place--any Dead & Company concert.
Best Dead concert I ever saw was at RFK Stadium in DC in the early seventies. It wasn't just the Dead--it was a weekend of the Dead and the Allman Brothers Band. (I also saw the Allmans in concert before Duane passed on.)
Other concerts of note that I attended: The Beatles first concert at Shea Stadium in NYC. Jimi Hendrix at Lincoln Center in NYC a few months before he died. Springsteen in San Diego. Stones, also in San Diego. BB King in a small club in LA.
Here's a Grateful Dead lagniappe.

Fleetwood Mac is back with USC Marching Band, with some excellent advice for all UConn WCBB fans,
David Bromberg - Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair - 4/15/1977 - Capitol Theatre (Official)
Had the tremendous good fortune to see both of these David Bromberg concerts, unbelievable musician who has no qualms about surrounding himself with equally tremendous players. These two exemplify the tremendous versatility he has and the same for the bands he has put together through the years.

I don’t know how to post the performance but if you want to see a great guitar jam between two masters, search for BB King & Gary Moore, The Thrill is Gone! It’s the one where BB King is wearing a bright green jacket. The back and forth between these two is unforgettable!
