What was the best concert (or two) you've ever been to and one that you wished you had been to?

117. "best" is such a loaded term. Lol

I'm trying to think of what ingredients make a great show.

Musicianship for sure. In this category: Carlos Santana. He and his band were so unified that I would have sworn there was a conductor leading them

Showmanship for sure. For this, I would pick my very first concert, ELO. Old Boston Garden 1978. The stage was the spaceship. There was a great light show. The cello players danced around with their instruments as they played.

Creativity is another one. Peter Gabriel.

Then there's also things like emotional attachment to the artist(s) and/or music. Here I have to go with two shows: Simon and Garfunkel or Rod Stewart. In both cases I had such an urge to sing along that I had to remind myself that the people near me wanted to hear the performance and not me.
