3. Blue Oyster Cult (ca 1975) — Before the FDA made them scale back their laser show (for safety reasons).
2. Paul Simon Graceland Tour — Sat on a hillside in a thunderstorm in an amphitheater in Northern Virginia waiting for the show to start. Simon came on stage saying he hoped the rain would stop and just about then it did. The show was awesome with the highlight being Ladysmith Black Mbazo’s performance.
1. First Sunsplash concert at the Bob Marley Memorial Pavilion in Montego Bay Jamaica (Thanksgiving week 1981ish)— Three days of concerts from sundown to sunup. Grateful Dead, English Beat, Jimmy Cliff, Rita Marley and the I Threes, Toots and the Maytalls, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Peter Tosh, et. al. The pavilion was actually a stage in a field surrounded by chain link fence topped with razor wire.
