    Richie.

    Best seat for Lady Gaga in 2019 or worst seat for Madonna in 1989?  Both at Madison Square Garden.
    I loved Madonna as a kid, so this one is easy. Gaga is good, but I want Madonna in her prime.

    Ok, a PJ challenge. Front row to the famous '92 Pinkpop show and Ed jumps from the camera on to you or back of the house for the Vic show in '07.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Sabbath!

    1954.  A seedy little club in south-side Chicago.  Up front and close to see Elmore James or the back of the room to see Muddy Waters?

    I hate Jethro Tull with a deep and abiding passion. Damn Scottish flautist. 
    Me too!!! Just awful music. Almost as bad as DMB.

    Muddy Waters!

    It's amazing how many times this thread has derailed in 2 short pages.

    Anyway....

    1991

    Venue -  Outdoor Amphitheater - a third covered physical seats/ the rest are GA lawn (total capacity - @ 20,000)

    Best Seats  (actual seats in first 10 rows covered)  Paul Simon 

    Worst Seats (lawn, bring a blanket) Elvis Costello

    I think I’d go with Paul Simon. He’s a legend. 
    Not that I know offhand what he was doing in ‘91. 

    Bringing it back to the present, 2017. 

    Best seats for Ed Sheehan or worst seats for Adele. Both would be stadium venues.

    I've already seen Rush 8 or 9 times and while it would be cool to see them in the early stages, I'll take Yes who I haven't seen.
    2003 Tokyodome.  Best seats for A Perfect Circle or worst seats for Tool?

    Tool  That's easy.  They are loud enough and visual that you want to be further back and enjoy the show.

    I want to do something higher profile but I'll ask this instead...

    Being in the room when Kris Kristopherson taught Bobbi McGee to Janis Joplin

    or

    Being in the same room where Bruce Springsteen worked on Because The Night with Patti Smith

    I have a little nugget of info to go along with this question after it is answered.
