This discussion has been closed.
Re: s/o Legend concerts
Bob Dylan, 2006
Bruce Springsteen, 2010
NKOTB - 4 times.
Oh. Um.
Duran Duran (5 times), fo sho. Sting, probably counts. Aerosmith, maybe. Fleetwood Mac. I've seen a lot of concerts, I'm forgetting all of them right now.
Greatful Dead (3 times)
Peter Gabriel (5 already and #6 this summer)
The Cure (4 )
Morrissey (4 )
I'm blanking, I've seen a ton of great stuff, but I don't really know what the pre-recs for legend status is so I'll leave it at these.
I don't remember exact years. But, I think The Eagles, Willie Nelson and Sting are all pretty legendary. I went to the Eagles concert with my Dad and it was a potfest. I kept making fun of my Dad, because had he not been attending a concert with his daughter, he probably would have been taking part. Then, DH and I had to see Willie before he died, checked that off.
Not legendary, but some of my favorite shows have been Ben Folds (and Ben Folds Five on seperate occasions) and Cowboy Mouth.
Phil Collins- would he be a legend? it was a great concert!
I also saw Charlie Pride (in HS with BFF's parents at the SA rodeo)
I've been to a bunch of concerts, so I don't know who exactly would fall in to the "legend" category. But, here are a few:
Sting
B.B. King
Eric Clapton
James Taylor (like, a couple of weeks ago, ha ha!)
Les Paul
Oddly enough, I can't think of any lady legends I've seen in concert. I did see Bonnie Raitt sit-in with the Resentments one night at the Saxon Pub, but I don't think that would qualify.

I'm horrible with years.
The Who
The Police
B.B. King
Aerosmith 97
Credence Clearwater Revival
The Cure 2000
Legends in my eyes:
Pearl Jam
Aerosmith
George Strait (6x)
Reba McEntire
Vicente Fernandez
Juan Gabriel
Ramona Ayala
*the last three are legends in their genre in Mexican Music and not necessarily main stream American legends. I grew up with their music.
Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Elton John, Santana...
:-)
Excluding festivals - George Strait, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Simon & Garfunkel, Willie, Smokey Robinson, Chubby Checker (I guess he's a legend, right?), Reba, I think that's it. Well Orchestra Baobab, but they are legends in Senegal, doesn't count for much here.
Stevie was BY FAR the best, probably the best concert I've ever been to. Chubby Checker was the worst. I still have nightmares about "the hucklebuck". shudder
me = jealous
Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan
Bruce Springsteen
Sting
Paul Simon
Grateful Dead
Bob Dylan
Cyndi Lauper (does she count? I kinda think so)
Neil Young
Metallica (in many circles, they are legends)
Aerosmith
When 3 Became 4
My 3 year old requests him every morning! (Casas de Madera)
Nina Simone- 2000 (her last American tour). I cried like a baby the whole show.
ETA: Now they're all coming back to me-
McCoy Tyner, Sonny Rollins, lots of other jazz legends, Goran Bragovich (a legend in the Balkans!), The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers...
