#2 Peter Gabriel - Saddledome July 1993. Just blown away by the theatrically of the performance. Split stage, lighting and use of props enhanced a great performance by Peter and his very talented band.

#3 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band - Saddledome April 2003. They played a long time and flawlessly. Thought Bruce would have been past his best before date but he had so much energy and just loved performing. In fact, I don't think I've seen a band that enjoyed playing with each other as much.

#4 The Eagles - Mcmahon Stadium July 1978. Perfect day. They were at their peak and looked like they still liked each other at that time. Great musicians and singers. The exact opposite of that soulless piece of crap show they put on in the Saddledome.

#5 Led Zeppelin - King Dome May 1977. Ultimate road trip. 50000+ people. Jon Bonham Moby Dick drum solo, Jimmy Page playing guitar with a violin bow, lasers on the ceiling of the King Dome. Awesome.
With all due respect, I ####ing hate you.
