+1

Unfortunately, the time I saw him was at the height of his troubles and it was less than good.

One show stands out in the last 40 years....

In the early 90's my wife and I saw the Moody Blues at the outdoor stage in the Woodlands north of Houston, backed by the Houston Symphony.

ABSOLUTELY memorable and magical. Nothing compares to the Moody Blues with a full orchestra backing them up.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

U2 - Madison Square Garden, October 2001.

 

[Bradass]

I'm not into that type of music much anymore, but Warped Tour in 2005 was basically a who's who of my ipod at the time, and somewhat shaped my musical tastes for the next few years:

My Chemical Romance
The Offspring
Avenged Sevenfold
Saosin
Atreyu
Senses Fail
A Thorn for Every Heart
MXPX
Thrice
Transplants
Strung Out
Millencolin
Funeral for a Friend
Motion City Soundtrack
...Fall Out Boy (before they sucked ass.)

That whole day was awesome. Pretty much the last year that tour was worth a damn.

 

[MarkMgibson]

Roy Buchanan (about a year before he died)
AC/DC with Bon Scott (about a year before he died) They sucked after that.
SRV (a couple of years before he died!!)
Pink Floyd
The 1st time I saw Eric Clapton (and all the others times for that matter)
Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Deep Purple
Bad Company
Cold Chisel
and many more....
