I might go with George Harrison's concert for Bangladesh from 1971.

Or possibly the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival

Farm Aid 1985--
Omg the lineup was insanely cool- everyone was there.

Mellencamp
Van Halen
Bob Dylan
Willie Nelson
Don Henley
Sammy Hagar
Tom Petty
Merle Haggard
Billy Joel

I had tickets......
As close as I was to going, things didn't happen as planned.
Morning of the concert I woke up w/ a life threatening situation. Ugh.
I was willing to risk my life to go. That's how bad I wanted to be there--
I seriously had e.r. docs calling me warning me to go to the hospital instead of the concert

Bruce Springsteen at Kutztown State College in PA, summer of 1975. Small gym. I sat on the floor. The month before Born to Run came out.

Isle of Wight Pop Festival, August, 1970, England.

I wasn't even born when it took place. Probably great.

This must have been Awesome ! Would have loved to have been there.
