Saw them three years in a row. '84 was Reckoning at Tulane McAlister. '85 was Fables at Saenger and '86 was Lifes Rich Pageant at Saenger. All great but I think I liked the '85 show best.

R&R,

I saw the '85 and '86 shows, and met the band afterward. Great show in '85. Walked in late as Feeling Gravity's Pull began.

Seen my fair share of shows, so tough to narrow down to 5 but let's go with:
- Rush, Roll the Bones Tour, UNO Feb '92 (seen them lots of times but had front row seats for this one)
- Eric Clapton, Journeyman Tour, Biloxi Sep '90
- Plant and Page, No Quarter tour, UNO Mar '95
- Ozzy, No More Tears tour, UNO Oct '92
- Metallica, Black Album tour, UNO Jan '92

Hard to leave off Pearl Jam - Honorable Mention for their UNO show November '93, the night after Vedder and Jack McDowell's scuffle with the bouncer in the Quarter.

Interesting the OP noting Lenny Kravitz's greatness. I saw him at UNO when Blind Melon opened. I thought Blind Melon was much better. Different shows, different time frames I guess.

Crossroads ‘13 at MSG. When Keef Richards is a surprise guest to play Key to the Highway with Clapton, that’s pretty neat.

It's so hard to narrow it down to just five. In no order:

Roger Waters - The Wall, Pepsi Center Denver, 2010

I almost didn't go to this show, then at the last minute I paid a gazillion dollars for floor seats. So glad that I did because this show was just incredible.

North Mississippi Allstars, Los Lobos, Tedeschi Trucks Band - Wheels of Soul Tour, Red Rocks, 2016

Another one that I almost didn't go to. At that point I had started to tire of TTB but I wanted to see the other two bands so I let a friend of mine talk me into going. It was one of those shows where everybody sat in on songs with the other bands. There had to have been 25 people on stage at one point. The setlists for all three bands was insane and consisted of nearly all cover songs.

Gov't Mule - Dark Side of the Mule, Red Rocks, 2018
There were 3 sets. First Warren did several songs solo. Then after an intermission, the full band played a normal Gov't Mule set. Following another intermission and a change of equipment there came another set of all Pink Floyd music. The show must have lasted 4 hours all told.

Voice of the Wetlands All-stars, Levon Helm, Allman Bros, Jazzfest, 2010
These three played back-to-back-to-back at the Acura stage to close out the 1st Sunday of Jazzfest. The only time I ever got to see Levon and he was magnificent. One of the guys I was with suggested that we leave after that set because it wasn't going to get any better. But it did. The best I ever saw ABB play.

Led Zeppelin, LSU Assembly Center, 1977

What can you say about this show? LZ in their prime was a force of nature. I was just blown away.

So many other good shows...Steely Dan, Mark Knopfler, Jeff Beck, String Cheese Incident, Alison Krauss, the entire Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Pink Floyd, Utopia, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, on and on. I've been very fortunate to be able to see some amazing acts.
