Ozzy and a young Iron Maiden with Paul Dianno as there Frontman. Rhandy Rhoads Rocked as always and Iron Maiden was raw and up and coming. I believe it was at the Palladium NYC. This was one of many shows in the early eighties that rocked, or at least in the top ten.... ;)

Pink Floyd.....The WALL concert in the early 80's at the Nassau Coliseum.
There are bands I saw and liked their music better...but...the show Pink Floyd put on that night was phenominal.

That's good stuff bro. I saw Dave Grisman up in Big Boulder PA coupole years back.
The best concert I've been to would have to be String Cheese Incident at MSG, NY. Sold out show and an awesome setlist.

3)Pink Floyd at Tampa Stadium in 1977..........clouds were pink (honestly)!
2)Steely Dan in St. Pete (1995)..........they rarely toured. This was part of a 5-6 city tour they did that year. Center row tickets about 12 rows from stage.
1)Moody Blues in Barcelona (1999). They played at the Royal Palace in Barcelona (with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra) for a special event, less than 2000 people. We were in front of the stage dancing (my wife made me). Incredible event.

I was at the Pearl Jam Randall's show and I have to say that was a great great show. I really like the U2 Achtung Baby tour as well...saw them 3 times. Page & Plant as well as Page and the Black Crows were pretty special, as well.

1)I still have the program from that tour !!!,I just dug it out of some old stuff from the past !!!!!
I really thought that tour was in '98 for some reason whenever I spoke of that show I always said it was in '78 ??but the back of the program say's 1977
that was the 2nd big show I seen !!!! with the 3-D pyramid of laser lights with Page in the center playing
of the revolving pyramid !!!!
I also was pretty young at the time !!! {i'm 40 now :D }
with that program was also programs from.....
2)the Who in '79 with drummer Kenney Jones at the Garden !
3)Renaissance !!!at the city center no date on program {probably '78}if I had to guess} though I don't guess well :D
4)Genesis at the Rockland field house {again no date on program ?}this was the An then there was three tour,{as the general admission doors opened....we were throwing around a frisbee and all of a sudden....I was literally OFF my feet lifted a good foot in the air and moving toward the doors,{thank god I was able to duck !!}
5)Yes tour of '78 {Tourmato}Garden
6) Stones in '89 at Shea
7) the Who in '98 at Giants Stadium
8) though not a concert the 36th annual NHL all star game !!! {Don Malony won the MVP :D }
I'm so glad I saved these things !!!

My favorite, because it was outdoors and all day was MONSTERS OF ROCK 1988 in San Francisco at the then Candle Stick Park. Kingdome Come(sp?), Dokken, Metallica, Scorpions, and Van Halen finishing off. The Scorpions actually put on the best show. They all rocked though. Oh man I had a blast....oh the days.........
I saw Pink Floyd a couple times and I thought they were quite boring. Lots of cool lasers though but I thought it was boring. By far the most BORING concert I ever saw was Boston in 1988. It was at the Worcester Civic Center in Mass. They stood still all concert and played their latest album, song by song in a row. Sounded good but it sounded just like the album.
Of course, the Stones were pretty awesome in Foxboro 1988-89???
you know who was pretty cool.....BB King in Providence, RI (1989???) in a little club called the 'Living Room'. That little club was awesome. Low cover and they had bands such as the Ramones, BB King, Blue Oyster Cult...think it burned down I heard. Anyway, BB king.......He was smooooth and the show was awesome.

Pearl Jam at Nassau and Pnc Bank in 2003...ridiculous show. I happened to buy tickets behind the band at Nassau, thinking it was going to suck, but it turned out we were closer than most people were in the back. Between those two shows, they played basically every song I wanted to hear: Dissidence, Yellow Leadbetter, etc. I mean god, they even did Hungerstrike. Granted it was with Slater Kinney who sucks, but it was still amazing to hear it.

Yea they just got together for that one album...wouldve loved to hear some of their live stuff, but they werent in it to perform. Have to get much respect for a band that gets together just to make an album for their friend, without worrying about profits

hmm The Who/Clash at Shea in 1982 was pretty good.
best heavy metal show: Possessed/Dark Angel at CBGBs 1986 tied with any Slayer show at LaMours in the 80s
best recent show: Radiohead last tour - from the PIT
a few years ago: Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spriral tour - Trent throws his synth and knocks out the drummer

I was at the PNC Show last year and thought it was over when they walked offstage after a couple of encores. The we heard them break into Hunger Strike, and they let us go back inside since the gates were wide open. I never expected to hear that song, so I could live with Sleater Kinney joining in. Man, they sucked opening up for PJ, though.

No...Zeppelin's last tour of America was 1977 and even that was sadly cut short (Robert Plant's five year old son tragically died).
They were suppose to come around again in 1980 but then Bonzo passed, on my birthday nonetheless!! :(

Moodies are a great band, one of my favorites (after Zep)! I saw them in '78, the '81 tour (both at the Garden) and about 15 other times! I actually saw them at a ski slope in Patterson, NY in '92!
I'm going to see them twice this summer- 6/20 in Poughkeepsie and 6/27 @ Jones Beach.

How is A Perfect Circle? Who's their audience? Mostly teens?
Progressive metal bordering on modern alternative. All right, but nothing special except for Maynard (from Tool).
I didn't know that LaMours in Brooklyn was even open anymore. I saw tons of shows there. There was nothing like praying that some skinheads didn't jump you after the show.

AC/DC was great too. Roger Waters Solo (from Floyd) was spectacular (I was in the 4th row!) The remnants of the Grateful Dead were pretty good. Jummy Buffet can be alot of fun with a big group of drunken friends!

How sick was that concert? I love how the intertwine the crowd into their performance and make everyone feel like theyre a part of the show. Gotta love that Met pulls out songs from their library like Metal Militia that they hadnt played live since 1985!

Slayer @ MSG basement (felt forum) '88 or '89. They (the fans) destroyed the place. The barrier between the floor and the stage was gone, seat cushions were flying (hundreds) and there were so many people on stage that you could barely see the band. Called it quits after about an hour. Physically exhausting for most fans.
A few months later, a Metal Edge writer wrote that it was the best concert he had ever attended.
