    I'd say Stevie Wonder is probably the best performer I've ever seen, back in 1986 or 87. He was really amazing, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    In the late 70s/80s, I also saw Fleetwood Mac, the Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, the Cars, and so many more. Tickets used to cost about $15 if you can believe it!

    Left Lane Cruiser opening for Los Duggans and Scott H. Biram at the Brass Rail in Ft. Wayne, IN.

    Suprisingly, Biram was the weak sister that night. LLC was as energized as I've ever seen them and Los Duggans was a revelation.

    I forgot to add...I saw the Chieftains (Irish folk) on St. Patrick's Day in Carnegie Hall a few years ago. They were phenomenal.

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Their 2012 Beethoven's Last Night show was amazing.

    That's great to hear, cause we're going next Friday! I can't wait!

    We saw their Christmas show 2 yrs ago and now I get to take my son back to his first TSO show. We have 5th row, so I am stoked! :)

    I think I've only been to two concerts. They tie.

    I flew to the Azores Islands in 2005, and upon landing my Aunt took us to a larger village and I saw the Scorpions perform in an old concrete soccer stadium.

    A year or so later in college, 2 Live Crew played at a local club, and I was up on stage with a few fully naked women, whip cream everywhere.
