In the mid-70's I got into a lot of concerts for free. The acts hired non-profit groups to sell the t-shirts etc. for 10% of gross sales. The most memorable act was Kiss. I am not sure what was more fascinating to observe - the band or the audience. Some weird people used to show up and then throw in a few drugs they were on and it made for an interesting evening. Linda Ronstadt was one of the worst. She was so doped up that I doubt if she had a clue where she was.

Selling concessions was easy at the concerts. No shirt was the wrong size. If they wanted a large we told them they ran big. If they wanted a small we told them they shrank. I sold the paper binoculars during intermission when the lights were on. The promoter told me that they had never run out of them before and was interested in my sales job. I knew better than to go out there after the lights went off because they were useless.

Best recent concert I went to was Bon Jovi. Great music, great act. The worst was KC and the Sunshine Band -a good reason why they should ban the return of some over-aged, over-weight singers. At least he didn't have a heart attack while we were there.

Rolling Stones at the Olympia in Detroit aroung '76, was the best show. The worst was Led Zepplin at the Pontiac Silverdome in '77. I had seen Zep before and saw them after that, but that show was horrible. They held the record for attendance at an indoor event until Wrestle Mania 3 or something.

Some other goods shows on my list are:
The The, Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd, White Zombie, Scorpions, Metalica, Rosington Collins, Cure, Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, INXS, Toad, Foghat.
I saw ELO at Cobo where they were caught lipsyncing, special effects were good. But my absolute worse concert is a toss up between KISS Alive (we are on the back cover, 2 rows up and to the left of the sign) and Bob Seger. I have never been a fan of KISS or Bob, but my girlfriend wanted to go to the shows. She started crying during Beautiful Loser and it just got worse. By the time Turn the Page came up I thought she was going to have a breakdown. As for KISS I still think they're all glitter and no guts.

Kid Rock, without a doubt! What an awesome show he puts on. I've seen him in detroit 4 times, Cleveland and the Sarnia Bayfest, here in Canada.
The worst concert would have to be Jessica Simpson. :mg: I had to take the kids..lol I've never seen so much pink in my life!

This is a tough one!

Theater:

traveling Broadway show of Tony and Tina's Wedding in 2000 (Milwaukee)

Chicago on Broadway in NYC in 1999

Music:

Vertical Horizon, 2002, Milwaukee's Summerfest

INXS, 1998 in Milwaukee

Fine Young Cannibals, probably in 1989 in Chicago

and I'm sure I would have loved the Dave Matthew's Band Crash tour if my husband had not gotten the flu 10 minutes into the concert!

My worst concert experience - seeing Pat Benatar at the Odeon in Birmingham in the early 80's. I had flu and shouldn't really have been there. At one point I actually feel asleep.
