Yes, this thread is for some of us older guy's... what was the best concert and best show you ever seen in the 80's ? There is a difference. They may be the same but often not. For example. The best show I ever seen in that time frame was the Jackson's at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium in August of 1981
Some can laugh.... but they put on a show that was unbelievable.
The best "concert" that I seen in that time period was Frank Zappa at Shea's Buffalo in March of 1988. This was an "intimate" experience for a Zappa show. Shea's is a small venue and Zap was in great form that night. I had seen him a few times before that in arena settings. This was the last time I saw him and it was a very memorable evening. A close second was Bruce Springsteen in Buffalo in September of 1984 at the pinnacle of his career. The electricity at the show was huge.
Of course there are a ton that I "wish" I would have been at.. but of the concerts I went to during the 80's those would be it.
