There are some concerts that stand out in history, with so much talent assembled on stage it's a wonder the stage doesn't collapse under all of it. I really wish I had been able to attend some of them. My favourites are these:
Concert for George Harrison from 2001.. Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Jeff Lynne, Ray Cooper and others on stage, singing ol' Georges songs.
Billy Preston does justice to My Sweet Lord.. I get chills!
I actually like this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps better than the original
Something. In Frank Sinatra's words, the best love song ever written
And then there are The Highwaymen. Epic!
Highwayman
Me & Bobby McGee. Janis Joplin does this the best? Pffff!
Ridin' On the City of New Orleans...one of the greatest songs of all time!
Pink Floyd - Pulse, from 1995. Coming Back To Life is my favourite PF song, and it is done brilliantly here!

The Allman Brothers at Filmore East. Duane playing slide.

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk.Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

The Flaming Lips - UFO's at the Zoo
I had tickets to the show but had to give them away due to a short-notice deployment to Ecuador. Oh well. I saw them later at D-Fest, life changing experience, but I wish I could've seen them in OKC. Here's a clip:
Yes, that is a spaceship in the background, they started the show by "landing" on stage. If you enjoy live concerts, do yourself a favor and see a Lips show. They changed my life.
