Mine are:

8/4/1978: Bruce Springsteen, Charleston Civic Center, Charleston, West Virginia

Two Hours and forty-five minutes, not counting intermission. I enjoyed the show but don't know if I would enjoy seeing Springsteen nowadays.

3/26/2016: Jad Fair, Indianapolis Museum Of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis, Indiana

For this solo show, the leader of Half Japanese played all of 23 minutes. Yes, this was a free stage at a music festival where it cost $ to see most of the national-level musicians. And yes, the primary purpose of Jad's appearance was to sell his art--although that's not how it was advertised at first. But I still think he could have given us a longer set.
