Pretty awesome list.

That DBQ show at Carnegie happened a few weeks before I was born. I may just have to cast something off to include it.

The Beatles, Shea Stadium, 1965-Crowd screaming through the roof, but an unprecedented live event.
Queen, Live Aid, 1985-If you've seen Bohemian Rhapsody, you'll know why this was a show to see.
The Who at Isle of Wight, 1970-The full set of "Tommy" with early classics.
Rage Against The Machine at PinkPop Festival, Netherlands, 1993-A classic Fuck You moment from Zach de la Rosa
Johnny Cash at San Quentin Prison, California, 1969-He wrote and performed a song against the prison...in the prison. This would never happen today.

Cash played San Quentin, BB king played Sing Sing.

Makes being locked up 59 years ago almost sound worth it.

Never saw any of these live, and wish I had

Pink Floyd
LZ
The Who
SRV
EC in his prime, either with Cream or the Layla lineup

BTW...going to see Van Morrison next week. I highly recommend seeing him if you have the chance. I saw him once when I was in HS, once in 2009 when he was doing Astral Weeks live plus a lot of other stuff with a 12 piece band, and once last year with a basic blues band. The guy still puts on a great performance.
Opening next week is Mavis Staples.

Would also like to go back and see Monk and Coltrane at Carnegie Hall in 1957.

Pink Floyd
LZ
The Who
SRV
EC in his prime, either with Cream or the Layla lineup

Pink Floyd - Portland 1978
Led Zepplin - Foghat - Peter Fampton - Seattle 1977
The Who - Portland - 1976

All were excellent shows in their prime.

Dude I went with to Floyd dropped some acid an hour before and lost his shit when the pig floated up from behind the stage.

The LZ show was a 3 hour drive in a dudes Chevy van with 7 of us, lot of beer and whiskey and non stop bong hits. One guy missed the entire show even though we damn near carried him in there.

The Who I lit my shirt on fire when I dropped a joint on my flannel shirt and did not notice it for a minute or so. Still was a great show.
