Lynyrd Skynyrd 1976 Memorial coliseum Portland Oregon. Couldn't see them again as Ronnie Van Zant, Steve and Cassie Gaines along with their manager died in the plane crash.
Have seen Black Sabbath (with Ozzy), Alice Cooper, Kiss, Jackson Browne, Ted Nugent. Then I just quit going to concerts till Kiss and that was 1985 or so.
Another one for Jethro Tull: Seattle at the now demolished Eagles Auditorium in 1968 then at the Paramount Theater in 2008 where I was one of the up front photographers. Forty years.
I also saw Fleetwood Mac (with Danny Kirwin, Bob Welch and Christine McVie at the Paramount in 1971 then again with Nicks/Buckingham at the Tacoma Dome in 2009.
I have seen many other bands many times as I was a concert photographer: Halestorm, Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack, etc.

You surely have some great stories with that job! Ever photograph Pink Floyd or Grateful Dead?
ELO at MSG in NY in Sept. of 1978...and in Philly at Wells Fargo in July of 2019.
Chicago would be a close second. Think I saw them for the first time in '79 in Philly and last time in 2018 at Bethel Woods in NY.
Maybe that's why he was so surly and moody when I saw him in the winter of '72 at UC Davis. Never spoke to the audience once. We all thought he was a real jerk at the time. He is a brilliant artist, though. Probably needed a break since he was wildly popular at the time.
I think he (Van Morrison) suffers from stage fright. We went to see him many years ago, & I remember all he did was sing, which was fine, as that is why we went to see him..
As for OP, I really only go to see an artist once. Concerts are too difficult to get to, & expensive to see the same group more than once. The only group I would go & see again would be the Moody Blues, they are awesome, but I doubt if that will ever happen again, since Edge died.
