The big 7 out of a few hundred choices:

1973: Bob Dylan & the Band @ MSG...memorable as my first concert
1974/5, New Years eve....Blue Oyster Cult at the NY Acadamy of Music...memorable as my first of dozens of BOC concerts
1976, Blue Oyster Cult, with Styx and J. Geils opening at the Commack Arena, Smithtown Long Island...memorable for the first show I ever saw with my then girlfriend, now wife of 33 years. great opening acts for a change!
1977...Pink Floyd W.Y.W.H./Animals tour...WYWH & Animals in their entirety at MSG, plus the M-80 explosion that drove Waters crazy and inspired "The Wall"
1980.....Pink Floyd, "The Wall" @ Nassau Collisium (1 of only 8 shows in the USA)
2009....Blue Oyster Cult @Maxwells Hoboken, Fans only Show, 4+ hours, private room, limited to 50 fans/friends.
2010....Roger Waters, "The Wall" @ Izod Center


Oh yeah...and any time Neil Young tours with Crazy Horse and plays stuff from "Rust Never Sleeps" and "American Star & Bars".

That's a cool list of shows! I can match you on Waters doing the Wall in 2010 but would have loved to see them do it originally.

I have many favorites, but first my top favorite:

Eagles - September 2008. Unfortunately I never got to see them with Don Felder but I'll take what I can get! Joe Walsh is my main hero and of course he played his @ss off at that show. Best live tone I've heard by far.

Other favorites:

AC/DC on the Black Ice Tour
Aerosmith on the Honkin On Bobo tour (my very first rock concert)
Lynyrd Skynyrd on the Rebels and Bandeleros tour
REO Speedwagon on their latest tour (not really a name)
38 Special opening for another band I can't remember
