Best Concert/Worst Concert you've ever been to...........

[chasfh]

Sonic’s Rendezvous played a dance at my high school in, I wanna say, 1977. Pretty unforgettable, in that I still remember it.

Worst... There was a series of concerts on campus in college one day, and I will never forget how bad I Am Robot was (fronted by Edward Sharpe)

I hope this is the right thread.  Rush is worth seeing.

Were you there?  Which might?

I was dead set against seeing them on this tour because of the pricing. The videos that I’ve seen of the first shows has changed my mind. Seeing them in August in Detroit and may hit a Chicago show as well 

Also Anika as the drummer is not only killing it, she has actually doubled the number of females in the building.

So there are two dozen females in the building now? Impressive!

I got free tickets to see two of the bands mentioned in this thread.  I wasn’t a fan of either at the time but was completely blown away by their live performance.  Even decades later, both are still among the best shows that  I’ve ever seen.

Prince - JLA - Late 80’s

Rush - Palace - 1990

What was that wooshing sound just now?

There's a Funny or Die video with Jason Segal and Paul Rudd sneaking backstage to a Rush show.  As Geddy, Alex, and Neil walk in they're saying something like "I think I saw 3....". 

I saw Prince in 2004 and was also blown away.  I never paid much attention to him other than his stuff that came out when I was in school.  It was fine to me.  But seeing him live blew me away.  I saw the talent.  He would have been great in any genre.
