As we’re doing specific concerts and not just performers, probably a lot here. I’ll start with one of these.
Paul Simon’s Concert in the Park: August 15, 1991. I went by hydrofoil shuttle to Manhattan and met my Girlfriend (now wife) and we walked up to Central Park from around Wall St. It was great. I barely saw the stage, but the music was incredible.
I saw the Page and Plant tour with the Newark something Chorus and a Hurdy Gurdy Man at the Continental Arena in Newark, NJ.
In 2009 we saw The Pete Seeger 90th Birthday Celebration headlined by Bruce Springsteen at Madison Square Gardens. Being members of Clearwater, we were able to get floor seats (under $100). It was raising money for Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. Others performing were: John Mellencamp, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Kris Kristofferson, Richie Havens, Roger McGuinn, Ani DiFranco, Taj Mahal, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews
I saw Bruce at the Stone Pony in 1989 starting around 1am on December 26th. In fact I was part of a security wall around the stage.
I also saw Bruce play with Ringo’s All Stars at the Garden State Art Center. Clarence Clemons and Max were with Ringo on that tour.
Speaking of which, at the Stone Pony starting in 1989 and until maybe 1996 I saw David Crosby, John Entwistle, Ginger Baker, Both Electric and Acoustic Hot Tuna with Jorma Kaukonen (of Jefferson Airplane) and I’m forgetting a few.
Anyone else see B.B. King live? I saw him at the Count Basie in Red Bank, NJ.
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking was my second Concert. Roger Waters and Eric Clapton.
I feel like both of my rest were either very common to see or very minor performers.
