Ten times…wish it were more. The ZooTV concert in 92 was awesome. Of course seeing them walk out of a disco ball lemon was something else! Lolnever seen U2 - on my list

closest I got so far was in Montreal one day - they had this 3D holographic U2 concert film type thing - didn't expect much initially but was quite impressed with it after allTen times…wish it were more.

Great list. And if you add up the cost of them, you could probably cover Live Nation's service fee in 2022!!Top row in the pic below - Journey, Van Halen, The Police, The British Are Coming (Page, Beck, Clapton, etc.), Ozzy.
15-25 are there as well, although I'm missing a Metheny (First Circle) and a Nuge (went for a girl, not really a Nuge fan, but Michael Schenker opened and was awesome) and maybe a few others I've forgotten. I have most of my stubs, though.

I would share more - just not sure about the statute of limitations.
+1 about crowd crush - exiting a Stones stadium concert from field seating we got crushed when the large crowd was inexplicably routed down a wall lined lane and then through a relatively narrow set of exit doors. Quite scary when you realize that if you were to fall to the ground somehow, even patially, you would not be able to get up and the crowd mass would continue over you. Was pretty shaken after, and livid mad ir about how the exit was handled by organizers.Peter, Paul & Mary -- Richmond 1969 (I was 9)
Cat Stevens -- Williamsburg 1976 (they filmed this performance -- very cool that I can still rewatch the show on DVD)
Lynyrd Skynyrd -- Hampton 1976 (I learned how people can be helpless and crushed by a crowd)
Aerosmith -- Norfolk 1977 (Joe Perry wore a "May the Force Be With You" button)
Black Sabbath -- Norfolk 1978 (Van Halen opened. Just... wow. Ozzie was wasted.)
I think for me it’s been 8:Ten times…wish it were more. The ZooTV concert in 92 was awesome. Of course seeing them walk out of a disco ball lemon was something else! Lol
Oh yeah, the sound of that concert!! I had forgotten how they used surround; a mini PA at the back and sides of the arena/stadium. When that airplane sound came through, you just instinctively looked up because it sounded so real, panning from the back, thru the sides, then to the front. Like I said, THE best concert I'd ever been to, the sound and lights being unmatched at the time. It wasn't until I saw Muse's latest that I could say any other concert was better.
I think for me it’s been 8:
War (Austin), Unforgettable Fire (Austin), Joshua Tree (Fort Worth’s Tarrant County Convention Center), ZooTv 3 times (twice in Dallas, one in Wash DC), Vertigo tour (Mexico City Estadio Azteca ), 360 tour 2 times (Dallas and Norman, OK).
I guess that’s 9. My regrets: blowing off PopMart and Elevation tours. What was I thinking?
Attended a few Styx shows - always awesome - 1st was Pieces of 8 if I recall - Love the early Styx - Equinox my favI can't remember the 1st 5. (child of the 60-70s). But these are the shows I'll remember forever.
Yes - Going for the One tour - Boston Garden
ELP - Welcome Back my Friends tour - Boston Garden
Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers - Providence Civic Center
Van Halen's 1st headline tour at the Orpheum in Boston, 2nd record hadn't been released , but they played a ton of it. Eddie was still playing a lot of his solos with his back to the crowd.
Styx - Grand Illusion at the Orpheum, prior to that album going crazy.
Rossington Collins Band Debut tour - Orpheum Boston, played Freebird as an encore with a spotlight on an empty mic.
Bowie - Glass Spyder tour at Sullivan Stadium w/Frampton as a guitarist
Rush Moving Pictures tour -Orpheum Boston
Black Crowes - Southern Harmonies tour -Orpheum Boston(see a common theme)
Iron Maiden - the return of Bruce tour, (98 maybe, 100 degree inside the Orpheum as their AC broke on the hottest night of that summer. I took my 11yo son for his 1st concert this night.
Too many more to speak of,
funny about VH - seen 4x 80,84,93ish,2005-6 . Was fanatical about them early on but the 1st 2 shows I caught with DLR were so ear piercingly loud I did not find it enjoyable - 93 with Sammy was good but we had marginal seats (Montreal Forum). Finally, the last show was fantastic - sound was great, good seats on Ed's side - Ed put on an awesome show. DLR had a good night. . Wolf was great but I kinda missed the MA vocals.Attended a few Styx shows - always awesome - 1st was Pieces of 8 if I recall - Love the early Styx - Equinox my fav
