The knock you out ones, that left you reeling, not the good or even really good. Festivals allowed There are so many for me - list warning ChrisBStarting off with a poignant one Bath Festival of Blues Saturday 28 June 1969 Fleetwood Mac Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_Festival_of_BluesIt featured a lineup of British blues bands, including Fleetwood Mac (the headliners), John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Ten Years After, Led Zeppelin, The Nice, Chicken Shack, Jon Hiseman's Colosseum, Mick Abrahams' Blodwyn Pig and Principal Edwards Magic Theatre amongst others |

The Stones in the Park from '69. So much of that concert is just a blur (no, not for that reason; because I was only 15  ) and I'd like to re-experience it as my adult self. |

Emerson, Lake & Palmer during the time of their 'Welcome Back My Friends...' triple live album. Makes me sad that I lost the chance to see them live.
Leonard Cohen, any time, any concert.

It is either Jethro Tull (I think) just after "Songs from the Wood" at the Odeon in Hammersmith I think it was or Tom Waits at the Apollo Victoria at the time of "Heart Attack and Vine".

In that case, Pink Floyd at Knebworth.
Black Sabbath at Lewisham Odeon.
Genesis (Six of the Best) at Milton Keynes Bowl.
Goldfrapp at Reading Hexagon.
Steve Winwood at The Royal Albert Hall.
All epic gigs.

Wembley - Dark Side of the Moon tour - where I was in the middle, perfect for quadraphonic

Pink Floyd at Shepton Mallet, 2am in the morning with Atom Heart Mother and Wembley - Dark Side of the Moon tour - where I was in the middle, perfect for quadraphonic Both Knebworth and Wembley for me (Wish You Were Here tour) were in quadraphonic and sounded fab. However, they had a problem with power at Knebworth and Rick's Farfisa keyboard wouldn't hold tune, so he had to change it. It was a long time ago and I haven't been able to verify it since. |

All epic gigs. I remember enjoying Genesis at Milton Keynes, but the rain and trying to get out of the car park after the organisers just buggered off tainted the whole experience somewhat! |

Remembered
Pink Floyd at the Rainbow
watching in almost total darkness except for the light coming up from under Rick Wright's organ
