The Amnesty Int'l Concert at the Omni in Atlanta June 1986 was the most famous I've attended. It was performed in six cities, the last show was at Giants Stadium in New Jersey and was broadcast live on MTV. The Police had to regroup since they had broken up. Each artist performed 6 songs, the lineup I saw was The Police, U2, Peter Gabriel, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed, The Neville Bros and Joan Baez.
Even though that was a great lineup, I've seen U2, Peter Gabriel and Bryan Adams in their own full length concert and they were much better performances. Still to this day, the best show I've seen was in 1972 in Savannah, Georgia. It was Jethro Tull performing their spoof of concept albums with their own "Thick as a Brick". That tour came right after Aqualung, and the songs and the wild antics, costumes, all made for a fantastic show. I know it was at the height of their fame having seen them again in 1995 with ELP and was not nearly as grand. Ian Anderson, the frontman for JT was one heck of a performer in his day. The concept show required people dressed as rabbits hopping across the stage, large telephones ringing during the song, and many other wacky side-bits. This photo is from that tour.
