If you're referring to their epic, landmark "greatest hits" set at Live Aid in 1985 in Wembley, sure but if you're not, thats okay, too. I do know that Queen's last major American/European tour occured in 1986 and IIRC, they never performed live again, mostly focusing on solo projects and 2-3 more studio albums in the late 80's-early 90's before Freddie became rock's first major AIDS casualty in 1991.And ZERO cell phones.
Do you happen to own Deep Purple's 1969 ambitious one-off concert with the Royal London Philharmonic Orchestra that was recorded and released as Deep Purple Concerto for Group and Orchestra and was later taped and shown in its entirety on BBC British TV networks?Not technically a concert but music is the inciting incident
The premiere of Rite of Spring at the Paris Opera Ballet
A symphony and accompanying choreography causing a riot among the ‘cultured elite’
That must have been an incredible experience
Oh, Hendrix did a few shall we see R-rated, sexually suggestive things with his guitar while facing his amplifiers when the Experience started their ending, live free jam freak out near the end of the set and IIRC, I think D.B. Pennebaker actually filmed the incident itself before Hendrix set his guitar on fire and did kind of a mock Voodoo Child sacrifice on-stage before picking it up and slamming it into a million pieces.That festival also introduced the world to Jimi Hendrix. I would have loved to been there as well and seeing him set his guitar on fire
Well, the Doors last concert was at the Warehouse in December 1970 where a drunk and inebriated Jim Morrison was so out of it and disinterested in not even trying to sing and perform with the rest of the band that he sat down in the middle of the stage and started slamming the Mic, repeatedly into the stage that it eventually collapsed. Doors drummer John Densmore got so P'Oed and angry at Morrison's behavior and unprofessionalism that he left his drum rostrum, threw down his drumsticks and yelled profanities at everyone still left on-stage, leaving the rest of the Doors to play on without him.Whatchu know about The Warehouse* ? I thought you were a Yankee interloper from up North ?
*The actual name was A Warehouse (on Tchoupitoulas)
I had a similar experience with Hank Williams Jr. He was so drunk his band gave up and walked off stage. He kept mumbling why he was called Bocephus. It didn't take long for the audience to follow the bands lead.Well, the Doors last concert was at the Warehouse in December 1970 where a drunk and inebriated Jim Morrison was so out of it and disinterested in not even trying to sing and perform with the rest of the band that he sat down in the middle of the stage and started slamming the Mic, repeatedly into the stage that it eventually collapsed.

I've heard some vague rumors over the years, periodically pop up, that a bootlegged, live recording of the Doors set at the Warehouse exists but the owner of the tape wants a small fortune for it and allegedly has it stored in some ultra-top secret storage facility.
I've told this story before, but will repeat it here. I'm jealous of my brother in law. He's 81 years old now and still around. He's a retired geophysicist from NASA. He was part of the dept that mapped the ocean floors for the Apollo 11 moon landing. He's originally from Bethel NY. His father and Max Yagur were close friends. He took a vacation after the mission and visited his parents. He walked 10 miles and saw the entire Woodstock concert in person.I think to the OP’s question I would have to say Woodstock, it would have been miserable at times but it was an important time in history and the music was just starting to break through for a lot of those bands….
It was knocked down to make way for Ravens Stadium. Hammerjacks was a dump of the highest order.I’ve been there a few times as well. My SIL really wanted to see Matthew Sweet there, so we went and it was forgettable….I also saw a Led Zep tribute band there, I can’t remember the name but they were decent….talk about a sleazy venue….unequalled in the Baltimore-Washington area….

My dad used to talk about seeing Prof Longhair at TipsI had a similar experience with Hank Williams Jr. He was so drunk his band gave up and walked off stage. He kept mumbling why he was called Bocephus. It didn't take long for the audience to follow the bands lead.
I gave him a 2nd chance. The next time I saw him he swung off the top of the amplifier wearing nothing but a pair of Tarzan trunks. His band then started playing La Grange by ZZ Top. Williams was the worst and one of the best concerts I ever attended

There is no original thought going on here. It's rinse, wash, repeat, just like with my demented patientsall questions on the EE have been posed before
