I think it was '72, the year that 'Rockin' The Fillmore' came out. That band was the first band that I had seen that took rock from hippy-land into putting on a kickass show as a band. Marriott was an amazing singer, Frampton (love him or hate him) rocked out in that band, and Jerry Shirley and Greg Ridley were an awesome rhythm section.
As was HP's custom, they kicked the tour off in Philly (the first American city they'd ever played as Small Faces), and they ripped the place apart.
It was at the Spectrum in Philly, and J. Geils and the Allman Brothers opened the show. I think the ticket cost 6 bucks.

Totally agree, Steve Marriot fuckin rocked. What a shame he died in that fire. A reunion was right around the corner. |

Skid Row is a band I'd LOVE to see, right up there with Bon Jovi, Van Halen, and Twisted Sister agian. |

I too have seen several hundred shows, and I have to say the best performances aside from TS are....
Iron Maiden - in general great performers, but in particular the World Slavery Tour of 84-85 in which Twisted opened
My first TS live show. And absofreakinloutely.... that concert cost me 6 months in Training School (I had court that day and skipped out to travel to the show, the judge was unamused) and was worth every damn minute of the extra time I got for going Dee's energy, shit the whole damn band, the interaction with the fans..... few bands I have EVER seen come even close to putting on an actual SHOW like Dee and the gang did that night. They blew Iron Maiden out of the water IMHO... and I LOVED Iron Maiden and had barely heard of TS. I was an SMF when I left that show for sure. |

Location: Central Virginia | Alice Cooper always puts on a hell of a show, only thing is I've come to know what to expect. I love the feeling of going to see someone I haven't seen before and just getting blown away! I think the best show I ever saw was Accept, I'll never forget UDO swinging in on that wrecking ball! Balls to the Wall!
I'd have to give Judas Priest a close second though! And I agree with whoever said Poison, I've always said they may not be great musicians, but they're fun! And their concerts reflect that. |

Location: Graveyard BLVD. | Well, after some thought about this, I would have to say I really loved seeing WASP and KI$$. Guess it depends on what genre in general. If I am talking Punk & FUN.. then it's hands down Murphy's Law with Madball a close second. Oh the list is endless....lol..

I tried hard to keep the list as related to TS as I could. I second the Murphy's law call. Like the PI-ALPHA NU toga part up at SUNY New Paltz, or the gig on my front lawn with 500 people and 20 kegs... ahh to be young again. |

| Out the choice above I'd have to say Iron Maiden... but even they pale into insignificance under the might of a 'Strapping Young Lad' live performance... |
