Here are my favorite shows in no particular order, check them out if you have not already done so.
1) Chicago Transit Authority - Fillmore West, 8-17-69 - Both the early and late shows are examples of why Chicago was hailed as one of the top 5 bands in existence at that period. Smoking hot!
2) AC/DC - Towson University, 10-16-79 - There is no such thing as a "bad" Bon Scott AC/DC show and this concert is proof! Bon and the boys are incendiary, whipping the audience into a fever pitch; the crowd at Towson is more than willing to abide to anything Bon says! A TREMENDOUS show proving that Bon Scott was the best lead vocalist in hard rock!
3) Led Zeppelin - Fillmore West, 1-11-69 - Zeppelin was the master of rock! An incredible show before the lads broke huge. The Holy Grail of Zeppelin shows!
4) The Band - Los Angeles Forum, 2-13-74 - The best "American" music done, and done by a "Canadian" band! If you like music even the slightest bit, this show will get you to love it!
5) The Rolling Stones - Masonic Hall, Detroit 7-6-78 - The last of the great shows done by the "greatest rock-n-roll band in the world", this concert proves that the Stones were indeed the best, especially when loaded! Yeah Baby!
6) The Who - Fillmore East, 4-6-68 - How was it possible for the Fillmore East to continue standing after this show by The Who? Forget demolition balls and explosives, if you needed a building "pulled" during this era all you had to do was have The Who perform! Unbelievable!
7) UFO - Record Plant, California 9-23-75 - Do you want to know why Michael Schenker was asked to join The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Ozzy - one listen to this concert and all will be understood! Michael Schenker is lights out!
8) The Pretenders - Palladium, NY 5-30-80 - "Pretenders" they were not; this band ROCKED and rocked hard! Chrisy kicked ass and there were many asses kicked at this show!
9) Steve Miller - Winterland, 3-17-73 - The "Joker" was no joke! He cooked on guitar and was the "Iron Chef" of American rock cuisine! This show is a wake-up call and reminder to many that Steve Miller blazed in the live setting; no "Abracadbra" here!
10) Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Fillmore East, 3-6-70 - "Crazy Horse " would be proud of having his name atached to this band; this is no holds barred rock done with soul and love! This is Neil doing what he does best - rocking in the so-called "free world"!
