Best concert from the 80's you've been to?
I truly feel like I missed the best two decades of music, the 70's and 80's. I'm in my early 30's, I was too young to know who Motley Crue, Van Halen, GnR, Maiden, Journey, U2 ( then, NOT now.... ) was, and the list goes on.
By the time I got into music, Nirvana was HUGE, then it all went sideways with N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, The White Stripes........
Just wondering, those of you who enjoyed the arena rock and stadium metal tours, which ones were your favorite? Watching YouTube vids, it looks like some of those bands put on a hell of a show!

Does going to KISS this summer qualify as going to a concert in the 80's?
Oh wait... No. That was going to a concert with 80 year old KISS members... My bad!

There were actually some good songs in the 80's, it's too bad that in a lot of cases they used the worst possible instruments to perform them

Right, the likes of Moog Synthethizers. Remember those speakers that had the spinning thingamajig. Many bands in the 70's used them, I can't remember the name of them, there was one on Pawn Stars not that long ago. Awesome sound out of those puppies. You are right though, a few good Rock and Roll bands in the 80's. I like Streetheart, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Ray Vaughn.
edit: I forgot Supertramp's Breakfast in America. Great album, from the early 80's IIRC.

Wow resurrecting an 8 year old thread, but it’s a good one.
Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, U2, Rod Steward, Tina Turner. Loved them all.
Now it’s Foo Fighters.

Now this is a thread. My first convert was Judas Priest, Screaming for Vegence. Crue always a great show. Seen them all. Except Ozzy. Bugger canceled twice on me. AC/DC was probably my favorite. Or Aerosmith.
