Had to be Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, way way way back when. Being,young and enjoying the rebellion that went with it, hearing them change lyrics to NSFW lyrics during the show and reading in paper how upset the older folks in town were, made it memorable and special. I can still be caught from time to time singing those exact lyrics.

For sheer entertainment, would have to be watching Neil Diamond step on stage at 815 pm and leaving stage at 1230 next morning. Always enjoyed his music and I'm glad I got to experience it in the early 80s.

Now I could go on and on about the acts I WISH I would have seen while I had the chance life flies by too quickly
