Since the movie thread seems to have gotten people's attention (thank you Jdark34) let's try a new question..
What's the best large or small venue music act you've seen?
I've got a few, but keep coming back to one.
In 1985, I worked part time as a stagehand in Champaign, IL, and one of the jobs I did was the first FarmAid, held at the University of Illinois football stadium.
With the stagehand pass, we had mostly unlimited access to the stadium, so I was able to be at stage level for Willie Nelson and Don Henley, but also got to catch a few acts from the field, including Billy Joel, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash all on the same ticket. A younger Tom Petty and John Mellancamp were also there...
Getting paid for the show was icing on the cake. I would have done that show for free had I realized the full lineup in advance. Acts just kept showing up....
