It was a long time ago, but the Michael Jackson "Man in the mirror" performance he did at the Grammies back in something like 1987.

Very inspired performance.

Richie Haven's "Freedom" at Woodstock.

Pushed up on the stage to get things going and calm the crowd while the organizers were panicking to get the other acts straightened out, this performance represents everything wonderful about the event and time it occurred and may have actually saved the weekend...

You can tell he's lip-syncing his way through this. But his dance moves will still second to none.

Stones at Hyde park. Summer of 69 just after the death of Brian jones. Maybe not the greatest but it's the one I wish I'd have been at the most. (nonfestival)

Back in the 70's I went to an Eric Clapton Concert in Tulsa. Freddie King opened for Eric. Freddie got a standing Ovation and an encore performance. Eric started out with Layla. This was when Eric shot the Sherriff and had released 461 Ocean Blvd. After Eric's encor...he brought Freddie out and they played and dueled guitars. Not to long after that the World lost Freddie. A tragic loss to the music world and fans. Eric later released Slowhand and was living in Tulsa for a time. Jamie Oldaker from Tulsa who had been with Bob Seger for a time was his drummer and as far as I know still lives in Tulsa. Those were great times for me as I graduated in 1977 from HS. Good Music and Good Times.

RIP Freddie

Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa around 77. Freddie King was booked in. I think the cover was $5.00. Back in those days, other acts that were in town would stop by. By the middle of the third set, Freddie King, B.B. King, Leon Russell, Mary McCreary and Gatemouth Brown were all on stage just having a hell of a time jammin together.

Not a bad show for $5.00 in a medium sized club where you could light up a doobie and no one cared.

BTW Scott. That's the Super Bowl I'm talking about when I've posted about the Wife and I at Super Bowl XXXVI. They were scrolling the names you see behind Bono on the four upper Corner walls of the Super Dome too. An incredible performance that does indeed bring tears to your eyes. My Wife can tell you that after that one...it got to me. I'll always have a place in my heart for Bono, Adam, Larry and the Edge because of that performance.

One of my Buddies at Work was born and raised in Boston and his Sister lived in LA at the time. She would fly on American Flight 11 all the time to go Home to Boston to see Rich and her's Parents. That day he called Home and to LA until he finally got hold of his Sister and his Parent's to make sure she and his Parents were OK. He was a wreck prior to getting hold of them. Hell of a day. Hell of a day.

Are we talking about a performance we actually went to?

I enjoyed Pink Floyd during their last tour in the US in '94. Great show.

I've been to at least 4 STP shows, and they always blew me away.

I saw them in Dallas and Denver for the Division Bell. Indeed a great time and show. I wanted badly to see STP Live when Purple came out. Unfortunately I couldn't make a show. Vaseline Babay....lol

For me....all the ones I'm talking about...I attended

Ive been to 50 or so concerts, from the Stones in Dallas back in the late 60's until currently still going.
Been to see 2 of them multiple times.
Santana 5 times in the Tampa area, always a great show. Been rocking our world since Woodstock.
But without a doubt the finest live performance I have experienced is
Trans Siberian Orchestra. Ive been 3 times and expect to keep going every year. Last time In Tampa, Joe Walsh played with them for the last hour. What a great night.

I saw Joe Walsh with the Eagles in 2002 (I think). He was a mad man. Totally stole the show. Oh yeah, that also was one of the best shows I'd ever seen...

Oh man. It's hard to keep silent on this one.

You should weep when you see a bunch of sheep howling over another sheep, who supports the lie that 9/11 was anything but an IMF Job.

People ****ing cheering and acting like morons while the victims names are being read?

Idiocracy.

The Steely Dan performance I saw a few months ago was the best I have seen in many yrs. I remember Yes in 1972, I believe. Just after they released "Close to the Edge", and Jethro Tull in '75, I thiink. Both concerts were impossible to beat.

I realize these may not be the greatest of all time, but for my frame of reference, they're the best I've been a part of.

Ever? At least in recent times, The Wall performed lived in Berlin, produced by Roger Waters in July, 1990.

I would have thought that the premiere performance of Beethoven's 9th would have been pretty awesome to be at though if we're talking in terms of "ever."

--and definitely every ICP concert ever.

Remember those shows well....I actually saw the very 1st Steely Dan tour in 72 right after Can't Buy a Thrill was released.....they opened for Rare Earth along with Sugarloaf....Civic Center Music Hall.
