    Nice list! I saw a lot of the same tours! I was living in LA and was at the Wall show in 81. Might have been sitting next to you! :D

    Bowie - 1972 Ziggy Stardust in Philly
    Bowie - was that 74? Diamond Dogs - Tower theater in Upper Darby where they did the live album.
    Who - Quadrophenia - Philly
    Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon tour, - Minneapolis
    Pink Floyd - Animals - Milwaukee
    Led Zep - 1973 Philly



    Haha,,, I love being this age. Got to see all that.

    Well to add to that for me:
    Also while in LA, Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense tour in '83 - Hollywood Palladium.
    Rolling Stones - 1972 Philadelphia
    Jefferson Airplane - Philly 1972
    Jimi Hendrix - Arena in Philly, well, in the 60's Earth shatteringly great.

    A few Grateful Dead shows were pretty amazing but I'm not good with dates. In the 70's anyway!

    Radiohead at the Tower Theater near Philly in 2006. Small venue, hard to describe how amazing that show was.

    I'm not good at "The Best" concerts. Tomorrow I'll have different ones!

    Really the most memorable was the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Robin Hood Dell in Philadelphia on a great summer evening in 1971 right after I graduated High School. I just remember laying out on the lawn under the stars with my girlfriend and taking in classical music with one of the great orchestras in the world.
