First: Volunteer Jam 3. the best I can remember was Charlie Daniels, Dobie Gray, Marshall Tucker, Part of the Allman Brothers... Sea Level... Oh and Wet Willie.... There were a bunch more too, but those are the ones I remember

Best: George Benson at the Opry House with an orchestra. The music was so acoustically good it brought tears. Best light show was Blue Oyster Cult. Loudest was Ted Nugent. My ears still ring from that. And actually... I saw The Alan Parsons Project at The Fred in Peach Tree City a couple of years ago, and they were AMAZING. Kansas was awesome. The Dixie Dregs at the Exit Inn were amazing.... It is really hard to decide on just one. In the 70s, I saw a BUNCH of concerts. Nashville was awesome in those days and they were affordable.

Worst: Steve Martin at UT. Not his fault, but he got sick, took a break and didn't return to the stage.. I was supposed to see Lynyrd Skynyrd a week after the plane crash. I still have the unused ticket somewhere.

That's awesome you still have the ticket ... I would have to frame that. So sad what happened. Ronnie was one hell of a song writer. RIP

Dong remember my 1st.

Best was TOOL Sunday night in Raleigh. Had seats in the 10th row and VIP afterparty passes...and their new album and production this time is amazing. Played for 2 hours and 20 mins. From all 5 albums. All the hits...amazing show. Have seen them twice and Perfect Circle before. Nothing like this.

Had tickets to see Ponk Floyd at Clemson in the 90s...my favorite band sans TOOL...got locked up and couldnt go. Was 17. Damn.

Worst ever....hmmm. Korn was terrible once...also nearly every rap act that I used to really like as a kid. Rap sucks live in outdoor venues. Badly. Snoop was an exception. WuTang was also. Everyone else I ever saw was terrible.

Surprisingly great????

Steve Miller Band at Park City Utah
Natural amphitheater cliffs 3 sides...amazing show...2 encores. Was the best show I ever saw until sunday...and that was 25 years ago. That good...joker.
Wild mountain honey..take money and run...etc.etc...very very good

First- Chicago

Best- Joe Cocker with The Steve Miller Band was surprisingly good. Clapton at TBA was great (1992 ish).

Worst- DMB in WPB in 2007 or B-52's in Raleigh in 1998 (Free tix from a vendor). Took my wife to see Bob Dylan last year in Sarasota and couldn't understand a word he said. But his band was smooth as silk.

1st: John Michael Montgomery at the Colorado State Fair

Best: Garth Brooks

Worst: Charlie Daniels. During the second extremely long fiddle solo, there was a line of people walking to the parking lot. The second one went on for at least ten minutes (that’s when we called it quits) and a lot of people just got up and walked out. I didn’t look at my watch for the first one, but it was awkwardly long.

I forgot about the flag thing. I also remember couple of guys managing to make it onto the stage and diving off. One of then tried to grab Zach and I thought he was about to start throwing punches. Luckily the dude dove off the stage and the show went on.

I made it to the front row of that show for Soundgarden and Metallica. Funny story, matt Cameron, bassist for Soundgarden was like 5 feet in front of me and a girl next to me kept flashing her boobs at him. He finally pulled up his shirt and shouted, "mine are bigger than yours!" She was pissed, good times!

Sort of off topic but did they replace the turf in Neyland after the Garth Concert? Just curious.

If you have an ear for music APP would have to be good. They were pretty popular in the 70's and 80's in HS.

YES is probably one of those few bands that sounds as good now as they did back when. Saw them on Rock Albums show on AXS TV last week.

Favorite band is Tool as well. Went the Rockville and they got rained out and I was sooo mad. Was going to go to the Raliegh show. Ended up waiting and got floor seats to their Atlanta show in January.
