Amazed no-one mentioned this yet....
Dylan at the Albert Hall 1966. I was 16, went with 3 schoolfriends.
Poor seats in the gods.
Listening to the recordings reminds me the man was a poet even then at just 25. His delivery and precise enunciation were not those of a rock star that he also was by then. Try the accoustic Visions of Johanna.
Simply wonderful.
20+ years later the Man in the Long Black Coat tour at Hammersmith Odeon was excellent too. He even put on a black tailcoat.
I concur on late Leonard Cohen. I saw him around 2012 in a very intimate venue, the Summer Sporting Club, Monaco.
Cream when they just formed. Very loud. Town Hall Sutton (south London) I recall. We got in through a toilet window.
Rock on John. Would have been 80 yesterday. I never saw The Beatles even though I was there. Mates of mine saw them in 1962, Love Me Do days, at Wimbledon Palais, an awful venue long since demolished.
