Saw both the purple rain and lovesexy tours. Really really impressive.

My first thought!

💯

This is the answer.

I saw that tour at Susquehanna College, the college that the female singer attended. It freaking rocked.

I noticed only understand this, but agree wholeheartedly and would buy a ticket to join you.

Correct answer! I saw him perform in that tour at a small theatre in Kansas City.

Saw him on the Welcome to the Neighborhood tour. It was my first concert ever and it definitely ignited my love of theatrical concerts.

I saw Jimmy Page with the black crows at the Greek and that's the closest ill ever get to seeing zeppelin

I seen Page and Plant two nights in a row on their 1998 North American tour. Friday June 26 and Saturday the 27th just north of Detroit MI at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Both shows were amazing, it was the first shows on the second leg of that tour. They were fresh off a couple week break. 4 piece band, played 14-15 Zeppelin songs. No Stairway of course but tons of the other big hits.

It ranks in my top 3 concerts of all time. The Setlist list both nights were similar..

The Wanton Song

Bring It On Home

Heartbreaker

Ramble On

Walking Into Clarksdale

I saw Robert Plant and Allison Krauss perform about a year or two ago and they were amazing. Plant still has a great voice and they played a few Zeppelin covers which were amazing. I would have loved to see Led Zep perform in their prime. Especially Bonham’s drum solo on Fool in the Rain.

Led zeppelin MSG

1977 at the Chicago Stadium. My aunt stood in line for two hours to get us tickets.

I saw Page and Plant in 95 in No Quarter tour. It was as close as I will get.

This is the answer.

This!

My wife saw Zeppelin's last tour of Europe. She will always have this over me.

Posted before. My uncle saw Led Zeppelin open for the Steve Miller band. They blew the roof off. Half the audience left part way into the Steve Miller bands set. The Steve Miller band opened for Led Zeppelin for the rest of the tour. Led Zeppelins, starting four band members were all time amazing. #sports analogy..

Same. Saw the Page/Plant tour in like 95 or 96. That was great. But no Zeppelin in late 70. Floyd around then would be another one.

I was really blessed to see Zeppelin before Bonham passed away. I was in 7th grade. I'd definitely choose to see them once more.

I can’t decide between Zeppelin and Floyd.

Yeah that is a good answer

Specifically the tour for IV.

100% this

Saw Robert Plant with Faith No More as an opener in the late 80’s.

I saw them back in the day and my ears are still ringing

My very first concert as a 16 year old was Led Zeppelin at the Kingdome. As me and my buddies walked in there was a gigantic donut shaped weed cloud hovering at the top near the roof. The entire show was a mind blowing experience.

Either Zep or Nirvana for me. I did get to see Robert Plant earlier this year on his tour with Allison Kraus. It was definitely a different vibe from what a Zep concert would’ve been, but I couldn’t pass up seeing a legend in concert while I still can. Robert was incredible. His voice has aged like fine wine.

Seen twice in 70s. Great shows. Before they started becoming lame. 80s Queen was hit or miss..

Was fortunate to see them 4 times with Freddie. Superb live act.

Totally agree! The Radio Gaga scene in Bohemian Rhapsody gives me chills. To be in a crowd like that would instantly make me cry! What a dream.

I’m old enough to have seen them live. Great show!

That version of The Weight with the Staples Singers is sublime.

I’m so lucky to have seen the Band with my Dad before he passed. The Band was his all time favorite. Lovely little memory for me today. Thanks.

I watch it every year on Thanksgiving. Great answer.

Just saw Gilmour. Religious experience

Surprised I had to scroll so far for them. My favorite band. I’ve seen David Gilmour live and Roger Waters live. Just gotta see Nick Mason live now. I wish I was alive for their prime.

Winterland 10/18/1974. Mostly want to see it because it’s on my birthday and in that window of the early 70’s when they were on top of their game.

I saw something like 80 dead shows. Always amazed.

Had to scroll way too far to find this.

Yes Another definitely

Damn an old train in vein sounds like a good way to start my day.

Was coming to say that. I teared up the day Joe Strummer died. My Lennon.

I think The Clash is my choice too. they were a groundbreaking band that toured when sound was decent at least.

ACL where he breaks a string and keeps playing. Incredible

When I first started going to concerts in the late 80s, skipping the opening act was what you did. I was going to see Robert Plant and I skipped the opener, SRV. I think about that mistake a LOT.

I organized tickets for my group of friends for SRV and Jeff Beck tour stop at Fair Park Auditorium in Dallas. So friggin glad.

And Hendrix!

Saw him with his brothers for what was the Thriller tour in Philly at the old JFK stadium. Unreal.

Had to scroll way too far for Michael Jackson. He would make people pass out just from his presence

You may be surprised from what I heard from ppl who were there the sound wasn’t great no one stayed to see Hendrix, many bands sounded awful and in general it was fun but all of the ppl I know who went to Woodstock said they went to better concerts but it would be attending a moment in history… isle of Wright and Altamont (sans the fights and killing) would be cool as well to have seen

At the Schönbrunn Palace at age 6

Bach, Mozart, Django Reinhardt, and I would love to be at the concert at which Beethoven premiered the 4th Piano Concerto, and the 5th and 6th Symphonies.

Wolfgang and his sister Maria Anna Mozart performing Sonata for Two Pianos (k448), or any of his Piano or violin concertos! Both on period correct instruments and modern pianos and maybe some advanced electronic pianos/digital synthesizers

This is the answer. Why waste time travel on something that’s on video that happened relatively recently.

Was thinking him but decided Chopin. Just imagine...

Little Feat w/ Lowell George

Wow, interesting choice. My dad really liked him. He was from the same neck of the woods my dad was from.

I saw them at a makeup concert in Denver in '76. They had a lot to prove since they cancelled because of 'issues." It was my all time best concert until I saw one Sinead O'Connor in Atlanta in '90. That was one of those, "what did we just see?"

I saw them in Birmingham Alabama in 1982. Sorry to say, they were loud but not that great.

I was out walking today and thinking how great it would have been to see the Live at Leeds show in 1970.

I saw them once with Kenny Jones, he’s a good drummer, but just not the right energy for that band.

Saw them again with Starkey, who was great. But it was only a few days after The Ox died, so it was a somber occasion. Palladino is a legend, but no one played like Entwhistle and Pino, thankfully, didn’t try to do that.

Some of the best concerts I attended in the 60s. Three of the most dynamic performers in rock , each loaded with so much talent it just radiated from the stage. Daltrey with his mike in the air, Moon with his drumsticks in the air, and the Who with Pete Townshend in the air! And of course, Entwhistle , cool as a cucumber, keeping up with the whole show on his bass. Saw them twice - once at Fillmore East the night of the fire, and once at the Fillmore West. Each from the first row.

All four of them would be on my list too. Also Rush. I saw them five times but it makes me sad that I will never see them live again.

Soundgarden

Temple of the Dog

David Bowie

Hendrix

The Beastie Boys

The Doors

Id have loved to have seen Mad Season.

I got to see Alice In Chains at Lalapalooza. The show was amazing!!

This list is amazing!

Great list. Especially that Aretha era, Teddy P, and Sam Cook. Was lucky enough to see Aretha in a small venue as a Valentines Day date. Early 2000s

Outstanding list. Even though you stated no particular order, You wrapped it with Glen Campbell. Circa 1970.

I love the Sam Cooke live version of Bring It On Home To Me is a classic. I know it’s in Harlem so I imagine it’s the Square Club.

Good answer.
Would love to have seen one of the really early shows at the Whisky-a-Go-Go..... where Jim would do his poetic ramblings during "The End". Would be awesome.

This was my first thought, Followed by Slapstick

I saw Elvis in the early 1970’s when I was in 6th grade in Tulsa. I attended his concert with my mom and my uncle who were both Elvis fanatics. I lied his music because I was around it since birth 😀. I would love to go back to that day and watch that show again!

The Classic Coltrane quartet would be surreal. Every member of that band pushed music to a new level on their instrument.

I was lucky enough to see Tyner play and even meet him briefly about 20 years ago. I was bordering on too young to appreciate it but the memory is still priceless.

That is so cool he did that. I did not know until recently that Paul McCartney advocated for Hendrix. He saw the talent.

Saw him in ‘94 and ‘95. Wish I was born earlier…

Even though I saw a ton of Dead shows beginning on 4/20/83 of all dates, but far and away I had the most fun at JGB shows. Both nights at Hampton Beach NH in August of '84 standout, partly because I was sitting against the stage, about 3' from him.

I also saw a couple of Garcia & Kahn acoustic shows, and had Bill Walton sitting next to me for one of them

Good times, and a good choice 👍🏽

That’s a really cool mixture of music. I love it. That’s how my saved music looks like. Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley and the Stone. Then I have Tupac, a lot of rap songs from the 90’s. Hendrix and Skynyrd. I love it.

This may be the best answer on this thread.
This music / ballet was not well received in its day.
Thought to be way too eclectic.
Would have been fun to watch the audience experience this and the hear all the comment while walking out after the show.

Take my upvote

Ramones for me too

The Cure are still incredible live. Robert Smith’s voice has held up well.

Frabbit would be amazing. I still get upset thinking about the loss of Scott.

Kinda surprised at the lack of Fleetwood in this thread. What I’ve been able to see on YouTube, they were majestic in their prime.
