Well, going back a bit:
the Nashville Teens (of "Tobacco Road" fame) -and they were good live at a local venue!
Buddy Rich (great jazz drummer) - an absolutely fab concert, that was!

Had forgot the Furey's and Dubliners, my Dad used to drag me along as a kid as no one else would go with him !!
Actually quite like some of the music now used to hate it then.

Rolling Stones, twice in one weekend, 1971 or 72 or something. Toronto and then Montreal.

Toronto, 8th row centre seats on the floor of Maple Leaf Gardens, courtesy of my friend the rich kid who had pals on the Gardens board of governors from boarding school days. Never beat that.

Another good one much more recently was John Prine at a local folk festival. I'd broken my foot and was leaning on the snow fence (yes, we use snow fence in August for crowd control) off to the side of the stage. A sympathetic volunteer let us through the fence to sit on the grass just a few feet to the side of the stage. He does a great show, and being right up there was huge fun too.

I'll make Joyous jealous now. Hagar was in security and was working backstage at Guns n Roses gig. His daughter, who he took to see them, nicked Slash's can of coke (cola, not the other stuff). Fortunately he hadn't put anything else in it that time LOL

seen several but loved Mike Oldfield when he did Tubaler Bells 3 in Horse Guards Parade London ( the one and only concert ) for that.
Alice Cooper has always been good.
