Only saw Rory once on his comeback in the 80’s.
Would have loved to have been old enough to see him on his 1974 tour.

Edit: Sorry wrong thread. Should be the concerts I wish I’d been at.

Been to plenty of gigs, including 25 Paul McCartney concerts, so they're all special to me...

but i'd say him playing 1000 capacity Liverpool gig in 2010 is special,

seeing ringo join him on stage last December in London on my birthday was mind blowing (we were 3rd row middle!)
though to me all my Paul gigs were amazing to be able to be at.

The George Harrison tribute concert "concert for George" was amazing, Paul. ringo, Clapton, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Ravi Shankar, Billy Preston, emotional night.

Other gigs - The Kinks at the apollo in 93 rocked..

I've seen a wide range tbh, Tori Amos about 50 times (don't laugh, i love her!), Paul, was glad to get to 2 Ringo gigs in 2011, The Kinks, Ray Davies, Dave Davies solo gig my ears never recovered from, All about eve, the monkees, Brian Wilson, Jason Falkner, Sean Lennon, things i shouldn't admit to like wet wet wet. Gloria Estefan too, she was great. Plenty more.. money used to limit me (and before i knew anyone with a car getting home from gigs used to be a problem too!) so we'd stick to the people we really loved usually (hence a billion Paul McCartney and Tori Amos concerts)

Springsteen in Roundhay Park the day Boris Becker won at Wimbledon ....it was a bastard to get out of though

Was that '85 ? I recall the exit to our car park was blocked after an accident. People were driving down the embankments to get off. My friend was in her brothers prized black Capri and wouldn't chance it. Waited for what seemed like hours to just get off the car park. Fantastic concert though.

My first stadium concert, Emerson Lake & Palmer 1977, I was 15 years old. Absolutely mind blowing.
Who, Pink Floyd x2, Genesis x2, Yes x4, Rush x2, Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Frank Zappa, Robert Plant x2,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, Supertramp x2, Tragically Hip x2. King Crimson x3, Steve Hackett x3. Loads more.
