Silenus, it sounds like Ronnie Lane’s Appeal for ARMS in '83. Saw this at the Forum in L.A. but I don’t remember the entire linup.
That’s it, and we were at the same show. The line-up listed is for the London show. The one we saw was minus Steve Winwood, and plus Joe Cocker, Ray Cooper, and a few others.
Wasn’t Layla just fucking AWESOME?

I was twelve on March 20, 1976, and nowhere near the venue when this one happened. Had to Google it, so to be fair, I’ll let someone who may remember the name of it reply with the answer.
Try to guess this one:
The Police
Tool
The Flaming Lips
Lily Allen
The White Stripes
Ziggy Marley
The Roots
Bonnaroo '07
Here’s one I was at:
Run D.M.C.
Ruben Blades
Babatunde Otalunji and Drums of Passion
Felix Cavaliere
Paul Butterfield
Mick Taylor
Santana (with Buddy Miles)
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Allman Brothers
Can’t answer, but wanted to point out that despite being a world-renowned percussionist, you are now one of only three people to mention Babaon the Dope. I bring it up because the third is Zeldar, who is one of the Dope statisticians and would get a kick out of it.
Indeed! I wouldn’t have even seen this if I hadn’t just done a “vanity search” for the first time in over a month! Looks like there may be another “statistician” among us. 
Too obscure I guess. The Star Is Born concert provided a huge crowd that the film makers took advantage of. Kind of cool to have seen Babs sing.

and about a dozen others. The concert sold out so fast the promoters didn’t have time to promote it. I was there.
^^ Farm Aid?
Nope. This one was at the Pacific Ampitheater in Costa Mesa, CA.
Steve Goodman died September 20, 1984. Looks like it would have been A Tribute to Steve Goodman benefit for leukemia research. Sadly, I was not there.
That’s it. The only reason I scored tickets was because I was basically living on the beach that summer and hitting every concert there was. Tickets went on sale at the Pacific the same day I was there for a concert (Neil Young, I think.)
Anyone have the Maximum Rock n Roll lineup from the San Francisco On Broadway circa 1984ish? I couldn’t find it on line
Yaknow, I was trying to figure out how to stump all y’all with the lineups from Chicagofest between '79 and '81, and I’ll be damned if I could find anything more than “ooh, I remember this band and this one” online, and an official Chicagofest fansite with interesting photos and stories, but a complete disappointment to completists (parse that!). I remember seeing the Doobie Brothers and Head East (a bastardized version at that) and The Hounds (among others), but a full lineup is nowhere to be found. I guess the intertubes don’t have everything.
This was the “Crackdown on Crack” concert, October 31, 1986 at Madison Square Garden, NYC. David Crosby had recently been released from jail. The Allman Brothers Band reunited after 4 years. Baba was great. And they were all on stage for a jam after the Allmans played “Jessica”. The concert ended after 2 AM.
