It was my first concert after a vacation in SE Asia, so it was great at the time.

Santana, Rusted Root, Toots and the Maytals, Burning Spear and the Original Wailers Band at the Gorge.
Chicago Transit Authority at the Eagles Auditroium in Seattle right after their first album when they didn't suck and window pane was sold at the concession stand.
Stevie Ray Vaughn his post rehab tour at the event center in Everett on Colby. His amp was at 12.
Almost all the local bands during the mid-'60's - Sonics in particular blew me away.
