I never saw Led Zep or J Tull; the best concerts I saw were probably Neil Young, Captain Beefheart, Dylan, Soft Machine and Roy Buchanan.

Kinda hard to do on a Zeppelin thread.

Nice, I saw The Magic Band on their last American tour which is as close as I could have ever gotten to seeing Beef live. They were surprisingly on point and top 3 concert material for me.

What year did you see Soft Machine in? Also re: less nauseating direction, you do know what a soft machine is right ?

^ Yes, I saw a clip of theirs on Youtube and, not expecting very much, was surprised at how good they were. I was lucky enough to see Beefheart twice; first time brilliant, second time patchy if truth be told.

That's easy to date because I was actually at one of the recording locations for Soft Machine Six ( https://www.allmusic.com/album/six-mw0000180049 ), so that makes it Oct or Nov 1972.

I know the name comes, like Steely Dan, from William Burroughs, so I can make a reluctant guess I suppose!

Wish I'd seen all of those bands. Had tickets to see Floyd on the Animal's tour and I FFFFFFFFFFstupidly gave them away.

Stupidly knows no bounds.

Yes, London in the seventies was crazy with great bands. Dylan was promoting Street Legal when I saw him, Neil Young with a huge repertoire did two sets; one of quiet solo material, the second blasting away with (I presume) Crazy Horse.
I also saw Floyd, Genesis and Grateful Dead, but don't remember those concerts today...

I had the chance to see a French Canadian tribute band called The Musical Box recreated Genesis' Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound tour. I never pay any attention to who touring, so I haven't seen many concerts. I feel extremely lucky I got a chance to see them even if there are a tribute band. I had goosebumps all throughout the concert.

A bunch of excerpts spliced together.

^ Well, the sound of this is really close to Genesis, and that frontman puts a lot of effort into his performance, so I can imagine it was a great evening.

I suppose a tribute band has to work very hard, both in terms of the number and the quality of their live shows, because the poor guys will never make much money on cd sales I imagine: everyone goes for the original artist.

That clip was great. I got to see Aussie Pink Floyd a few years back and they did The Wall in its entirety. Then for an encore they did DSOTM. Beyong amazing and same thing - goosebumps all night.

I think I even cried during this:
