Other honorable mentions for me, have seen the WHO, Santana, George Thorogood, Jonathan Edwards, Chicago, and The Almond Brothers many times. Another one of my favorites was seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd live at the Springfield Civic Center about a week before their plane went down. Very Sad :_ ( Stay safe everyone!

I did finally get to see Mark, Don & Mel, not the so called Grand Funk that's touring now without Mark Farner. Last time they were together in 1998 in Columbia, Maryland, and they were just as good as early 70's. I was a fan of their first 5 albums that Terry Knight produced.
I did see Jethro Tull a second time, ELP opened the show in 1995, I wasn't impressed with either act that time. Seems Ian Anderson slowed down quite a bit, no theatrics, Emerson Lake & Palmer was a bit boring.
I wish I had seen Lynyrd Skynyrd, one of my favorites, the original. I have seen Blackfoot with Rik Medlock and Molly Hatchet with Danny Joe Brown and Atlanta Rhythm Section, I got some of my southern rock fix.
