Oscar Peterson at the glass onion
Myles Davis NYC
The Tragically Hip in Ottawa
Rolling Stones in Minneapolis

These really stand out

Possibly the best was The Who at the Silverdome Dec. 7 1979. That was 4 days after 11 people were killed in Cincinatti from a screw up by the organizers.

I didn't get to see what might have been one of my best concerts ever.

I had tickets to see the Who starting a tour at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas in June of 2002. But it was cancelled because John Entwistle died the night before.

The Tragically Hip in Ottawa

I saw The Hip in Ottawa as well, the temperature was -23, we had to get out to Kanata for the show. The girl I was with at the time started to cry, her tears froze.

How times change, I saw Iron Maiden at Kingswood as well. Awesome show, but what I remember most was JD Roberts being shitfaced drunk.

 

[wigglee]

Yes at Massey Hall
Gentle Giant at L'Universite du Quebec in Trois Rivieres
Mahavishnu Orchestra at Convocation Hall
Jethro Tull at Maple Leaf Gardens
Pink Floyd at Maple Leaf Gardens
Remember Shakti at Montreal Jazz Fest
Chilliwack at Rockhill Park Festival ( near Orangeville)

I saw Dizzy Gillespie play in the 80’s. The first 3 rows were empty because his spit carried so far.

 

[shack]

How about the Wiggles?

 

[Mr Deeds]

Wasn't a concert but one night I was at High's in Yorkville listening to some really fine jaz when Ella Fitzgerald came in with some people around midnight she jammed till 4 in the morning its was really amazing.

 

[hamermill]

When a partner of mine played the skin flute...

 

[xmontrealer]

How about the Wiggles?

Saw the Monkees live in Winnipeg at the height of their fame. Played their own instruments, and were actually pretty good...

 

[Jasmina]

Skinny Puppy, Ministry, and Pusifer have been the best shows I have seen live. Complete stage productions. Worth every cent.

 

[Zaibetter]

Many good ones..Yes made magical concerts back in the day... Bob Seger was also very powerful years ago.

I bet. I think they are historically underrated. But they also had some damn good songwriters working for them. I think Tommy Boyce and Neil Diamond, among others.
