I love this topic. I've seen some concerts that were outright amazing and the songs trigger memories. I'm going to put a little story (I'll keep it short I promise)


Bruce Springsteen - Hungry Hearts.


I saw Bruce in Vancouver live. While it was a packed house to the rafters. Somehow Bruce and the E Street Band made it feel like a intimate broken down bar. Tons of Energy, tons of fun and he knew how to play an audience. I remember that he played this song as part of the first encore, and the audience had been waiting all night for it, and sang the first part of the song, I was there with my girlfriend at the time and I remember I put my arm around her, and we swayed and sang at the top of our lungs.





George Thorogood and the Deleware Destroyers - Who do you love


I had moved down to Dallas to go to school. There was a place called Dallas Alley, and a bar in the middle of it that IIRC was called the Garage. Dallas Alley was amazing at the time, there were 9 bars and you could go from bar to bar. There was an amazing dueling piano bar called Alley Cats. In the middle there was laser tag. But the bar we went to that night was special because it was live music, mostly by well known bands, and they never gave out who was playing that night. It was the ultimate musical roulette. We went one night and it was the Go Go's which was a great show. But that night we went in and they did the usual, they shut the doors and turned out the lights. Then they turned them on and a familiar band was on the stage. But we couldn't place them. Then the lights went out and came up and Lonesome George was standing there with his arms out and the crowd exploded and he opened with this song. George is an amazing story teller, and his music invites drinking and partying and man I love the slide work in this song.





Bon Jovi - Lay your hands on me


I think this was the Slippery when wet tour and they played Calgary and Skid Row opened for them, and frankly Skid Row sucked hard. But the Bon Jovi concert opened exactly like this video with Jon coming up from under the stage after one of the best intro musical interludes ever. This was just a great energy building song right off the start.






Living Color - Cult of Personality.


Long before CM Punk took this song as his theme, a young Captain went to see the Stones at the cotton bowl with Living color opening for them. They opened with this song and the opening cords to this day are incredibly iconic. This was a one hit wonder band that should have done way better then it did because they were musically amazing.
