White Zombie was a really good show, so many hard rock acts decide they're "artists" after which it's pretty much over. No problem there ![Big Grin](forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif) "we're loud and having fun" ![Big Grin](forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
SRV was amazing, as was Robin Trower.
The best concert was an odd one, Not sure I could put it on the list. I saw Roger Waters pros and cons of hitchhiking tour. Only 6 cities, no warmup act. First set was all Pink Floyd, second was the entire album. (One of those concept things) The best part was that he'd hired Eric Clapton. So I saw Clapton doing Pink Floyd.....

I saw the Pros and Cons Tour w/Clapton at the Meadowlands in NJ. You are right. EC pulled off Floyd with great success.
I saw Stevie Ray (from the second row) at an old chandeliered opera house in Worchester MA in like 82. He WAS incredible.
I saw Jack Bruce and Friends (w/Trower on lead guitar) open up for The Allman Brothers in 1980. (I think?). As much as I like the Allman Brothers, Trower blew them away.
Deep Purple was always amazing as a whole. I last saw them on the Perfect Strangers Tour. I would go see Richie's Rainbow and walk away less than wowed. Of course that could have been influenced by the concert party favors.
I remember seeing Alvin Lee solo, expecting very little and being floored by his tone and technique. I was expecting sheer speed and flash. I became a fan that day.
Roy Buchanan put on a great, great show. I saw him at a little club in Hampton Beach NH. He was a bit wired for his encore (I have NO IDEA how that happened
![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
) and they finally had to pull the plug on him. He wasn't gonna stop.
I saw Warren Zevon completely solo, just him, a guitar, or piano and a harmonica. Utter Genius.
