I guess probably Woodstock was my most famous concert. I was pretty young and don't remember a lot except my mom Sunshine was covered in mud and kept getting the stroller stuck.

Paul McCartney and Wings at Kemper Arena ~ 1978. 

Fleetwood Mac (with Linsey Buckingham, no Christine McVie) at Sprint Center 2013 

Saw Eagles at Sprint Center a couple years ago. I popped for really good seats for that one. This was after Glenn Frey had died and they had Vince Gill and Frey's son to fill in. So, not the lineup of their prime, but there have been so many in and out of that band that it's hard to really say who 'they' are other than Frey and Henley. They sprinkled in some of Frey, Henley and Gill's solo work. Also some James Gang.

After the encore they all left the stage except 70-ish Joe Walsh. He kinda wandered around for a bit, then tipped over a stool, smiled and walked off :D

What seemed like the longest concert was Ravi Shankar. We sat on wooden benches for two and a half hours before we left. He was still playing, but he sits on cushions :rolleyes:.

Most underwear onstage was at the Frank Zappa concert.

Most opportunistic concert was seeing the Who at the Meadowlands. I got the tickets the morning of the show and had to drive almost three hours to get there.

That reminded me -- a friend's dad's company had a suite at Kemper Arena and I saw Styx on their dime. Late 70's.

I saw Styx on their Paradise Theater Tour. Not my favorite concert.

My least favorite concert was the Cars with Wang Chung as the opening act. The Cars were immobile and did nothing different than their albums. Wang Chung was better. My girlfriend at the time bought the tickets so we still Had Fun Tonight:lol:!

They always did have flare for colonial/period clothing. I didn't see a tomahawk or a bowie knife ;)
