Best Live Music Performance
Tooling around the house, on call today, just listening to music. Mostly on YouTube or songs I have on my phone. Came across some killer live songs which made me think. Best live music performance you have heard in person or have found through various sites, apps, etc.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
I watched that Queen set after seeing Bohemian Rhapsody. Killer stuff.
In person, I haven’t seen too many big name acts. My faves would include Sleater-Kinney, RHCP, the Struts, Fugazi, Red Man, Soundgarden...

Re: Best Live Music Performance
I have seen a lot of big names of 70s-90s, some mutiple times. Bar none, John Hiatt at Bele Chere in 2005 with the North Mississippi Allstars. John was teaching those youngsters how it's done. He is also an act I have seen multiple times both before and after, but never like that. Worst show I ever went to was YES on their 90125 tour.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
First concert I ever attended was the best. Boston around 1978. Opening act was Sammy Hagar. Worst was the infamous Buffett walk off the stage after an hour Charlotte concert.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
My favorite act I've ever seen live was The Ramones at Ziggy's in W-S. They were well past their prime in those days, but it was awesome none the less. We drove done from Boone on a weeknight, back when 421 was mostly 2 lane. My buddy hit a deer near the Yadkin/Wilkes line on the way back, but the night was worth it.
Best show I've ever seen in Boone was either Southern Culture on the Skids or Old Crow Medicine Show, both at Rafters.

The Rolling Stones Zip Code Tour at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC on 1 July 2015. The Avett Brothers opened up for them that night too and were great. The Stones can still put on an awesome and energetic show!

Re: Best Live Music Performance
Springsteen and ACDC put on some good shows. GWAR put on one hell of a show. For more laid back stuff John Hartford did a good one. By the time I saw Bob Dylan he couldn't do a whole lot of moving and was walked out with help and sat behind a keyboard the whole show. Other great shows are Derek trucks, steely dan, and George Porter Jr. I think I've been to too many to pick out any single show. There are so many good small/regional circuit bands these days it makes that call even harder.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
1980: Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, Poco, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Boston.
Sometime early 2000's: old Verizon Amphitheater, Chicago and Earth, Wind, and Fire
2015: downtown Charlotte, The Mavericks - that as an awesome concert in a small venue that was so good!
Worst: homecoming at ASU, 1973 - Blood, Sweat, and Tears. David Clayton Thomas had left the group. His replacement was a bad one; the house lights came up after the final number and there was no encore.

We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

What’s cool about this is I can build up my listening music.

Re: Best Live Music Performance
The Wailers of Bob Marley fame played at Legends in 88 or 89. That was the best live performance I saw in Boone.
Obviously the band at that time was not what it was while Bob Marley was alive and even earlier when Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were involved but still some good reggae, which is not the most common sound in the mountains of North Carolina.

This is my very generic signature added to each post.
