Oh no.  I'm very familiar.  I respect his talent, however IMO, Lennon was a negative thing for him.  Stealing the Badfinger song was shitty too since Apple owned the rights.  Oh and there's Three Dog Night.  He had hit's but was an opportunist.  Regardless... I just don't like him

I agree with you about Lennon and Harry.  Lennon was on his Lost Weekend, going on a drinking and drugging binge for months, for one final time before he really settled down and sobered up.  Lennon encouraged Harry to go crazy too and I have a feeling it had huge ramifications on Harry's life maybe even shortening it.

I don't think Lennon ever held a gun to his head or anything. They were both adults. This one's for Shay.

The 70's win out for greatest concerts, with the year 1970 having the most.

Concerts I saw from the Rolling Stone list:

Only two:

1975-76 | NORTH AMERICAN TOUR | BOB DYLAN

1984-85 | ‘PURPLE RAIN’ TOUR | PRINCE


Sorry to see that no ELP tour or concert had room to be on that list.

I would have put Alice Cooper ~ 1972 Killer Tour on there bumping Beyonce, of course! 

What -- NO SRV !!!

Apparently the boys from Rolling Stone never made it to this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razors_Edge_World_Tour
Sucks to be them.

Or this one... I guess they saved their Pink Floyd choice for The Wall (which ironically was inspired by this concert)

1976/77 was probably my best memories of summer and concerts. Bicentennial being stationed in Plattsburgh, NY. Saw Boston in Montreal with Sammy Hagar as the warm up. Then 1977 in Montreal with Pink Floyd and ELP. I had tickets to see Al Stewart as well, but he was coming to Plattsburgh the day after, so My friends talked me out of going to Montreal and going with them. He had a breakdown in during/after the Montreal concert and cancelled the rest of his tour.

There were two other memorable tours I thought might make the list. Kansas and Eric Clapton. Saw them both in Omaha in 1982.

Is he still any good live? Meant to be seeing him later this year with Ace Frehley as supporting act.

Taylor Swift and Beyonce?    Are those boys getting Alzheimer's?  I can't believe they left this one out.

I saw Boston during their first tour in '77.  Man, what a trip!  Delp was one hell of a singer.

Everyone was concerned that the artistry they did in the studio couldn't be duplicated in a live show. They were wrong. It still stands out as one of my favorite concerts.

Yep, those were the days!  Between Tom Scholz's genius and Brad Delp's voice, they made it beyond the best.  I was crammed into a venue with close to 20,000 crazy fans.  I didn't smoke weed but the air was so thick with it, I was smoking anyway.    Arena rock plain rocked!

It might have been 1977 when I saw them at the Forum. Maybe it was Aerosmith I saw in 1976.

1976 was a crazy summer. Bicentennial celebrations/reenactments throughout the Lake Champlain area, lots of concerts at SUNY-Plattsburgh, which was the staging area for the US Summer Olympic team, the Summer Olympics in Montreal. Lots of concerts in Montreal. I don't think I slept that entire summer.  I am sure my base pay was still less than $400 a month that year, but I sure had a blast.
