I was still in high school in South Florida during the '80s, so...

!!! Van Halen '81 at The Hollywood Sportatorium - Hollywood Florida

Other concerts I went to there... Rush, Judas Priest, Ozzy with Motley Crue, Ratt, Kiss with Ted Nugent, Vandenberg, Fastway, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Def Leppard, and of course Iron Maiden !!! to name a few...

Can say which was the best, I loved them all, but AC-DC had to be one of the LOUDEST !!!

The Sporto was such a complete dump with crappy acoustics and smelled like a combination of weed, stale beer, sweat and vomit, it was great and I miss it.

Elsewhere...

Dio and Megadeth at the West Palm Beach Auditorium

Cheap Trick at the Sunrise Musical Theater. There's more. I have to find my ticket stubs.

PS: I still have that guitar, ('77 Les Paul Custom) but it's been "retired", like me LOL
