If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?


I have interest in hearing about yours.   I can think of some great concerts over the years in many great buildings, from Hancher in Iowa City, to Fisher Hall in New York, to some bars in Copenhagen. 

Something I have noticed....performers have times they are more "on" just like us, and it can make their concerts be perceived at different levels.   I know the three times I saw Jackson Browne, each was much different and most of that was his intent.  Having a good sized group with very talented back up singers to the time I saw him solo....all great, but very different.  He is a better guitar player than he may be given credit for. 

The live Jazz I have been to in NYC is near the top.  Sweet Basil and the Blue Note through the years have been very good to me, but in a much different vein, the lakefront festivals in Milwaukee are a somewhat unknown to most of America. 

I did see a few artists before their success and fame, saw a famous British singer at a bar in Rapid City many years ago..and he has done well since. 

Take care,

Leonard Cohen, Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA.  Incredible performance A true musical genious, consummate gentleman, energy of someone half his age. Sadly we will never be gifted with a Cohen performance again.
I salute all you guys. And yeah, you do bring up artists and acts that I failed to mention in my original post.
The most "intense" shows I've seen were:

Gang of Four in 1983
Hunters & Collectors in 1987
PJ Harvey in 1993

The most "fun" shows were:

B - 52's in 1983
Talking Heads in 1983 ("Stop Making Sense" tour)
Was Not Was in 1988 (woodwork squeaks, out come the freaks/hello Dad I'm in jail.")
Fitz & the Tantrums @ SXSW in 2011 & 2013
