Favorite Concert

What was your favorite classic rock concert?


I know it's hard to pick just one, so just list one that you really enjoyed.


I loved the Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert I went to in 1973.

I know this isn't considered rock, but Willie Nelson in 1985 or 6 at The Spectrum in Philly. I had won free tickets and I took my wife. He played three hours straight barely pausing between songs. The place was on their feet the whole time, burning out lighters. People were passed out everywhere, some even before the concert began. He's a lot older now and probably doesn't play that long, but don't miss him if you have a chance. Willie transcends rock or country--he's an American original.

My favorite concert was Woodstock 69'. The Ultimate Concert of the century or any century for that matter. It was the End and the Begining of Movement. The Originals began to burnout and a new breed was settling in.

I was a youngster age of 16 when I hit Haight St. The music was the culture and the message that was sent inspired more and more to join in the turnning event. It called out for unity and equailty. It beconed to be reconized and addressed. They came by the thousands. Each looking for their place, each having life altering experiences being led by the music to a different level, a new rythem that made our hearts beat in a fashion that stirred the soul.

Where ever there was music, a crowd would gather. It was contagious. The vibrational tones that opened new doorways to a more spiritual quest was drawing more and more attention. With words that stung the conscience of america we sang our songs of peace, love and brotherhood and the injustice of war and ignorance.

We gather at the concerts and we supported the cause by walking the walk. The music was our lifestyle it reflected who we were and what our message was.

Woodstock was the Ultimate Message and our show of strenght and support. 250,000
strong and that was just a part of tribes, there were numbers of us who didnt attend.

Ahh bittersweet memories. The sublime chaos, for that, which follows chaos is peace.

Blessed Be

My all time favorite would have to be CSN&Y ...each and every time I saw them, I was amazed and entranced by their beautiful harmonies and their meaningful lyrics.
However, the very first concert I ever attended was Elton John, I think in 1970. He premeired Rocket Man that night...it was superb!
