What groups have you seen live?

Rossington Collins (what was left after Lynard Skynard plane crash) - collins threw his guitar down after 20 minutes and walked off and they played on for another 20 minutes without him , so there was
Booing, a 40 minute concert 1982 in Maryland

Chicago in Maryland early 80’s -

Van Halen or should I say Van Hagar in the late 80’s - I went with a dj named luchious leather Lori - she got us free tickets, that was at the cow palace in San Francisco

The temptations in Tunisia in 1998 they were a little old lol

Kanye West about 12 years ago , I was staying at red rock hotel in Las Vegas did not even know he was performing there, then looked out my window into the courtyard and had a perfect view, he showed up 45 minutes late and started by singing the song where he says you should be honored by my lateness


cheers

The Young Rascals.
1968 at the Miami Dade Community College auditorium.
My best one was Peter Gabriel in 87,
then Bruce Springsteen and Level42 in the late 80's as well.
Yes was one of my favorite groups head banger
I saw the Beatles and Rolling stones in 1967 in a concert in Bournemouth, England.
Spoke to Paul McCartney who signed my LP.

Also Cliff Richard and the Shadows, same place around that time.

Then, the famous pop festival in the Isle of Wight in the 70s, with:
Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, the Who, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, etc ...
If a time-machine exists, the 1970 Isle of Wight festival would be worthy of a visit as so many famous bands/artists played there.

My favorites include: Hendrix, Free, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Jethro Tull
Cream
1969 at THEE IMAGE CLUB, Sunny Isles (Miami Beach) Florida.



The link claims The Yardbirds played that same weekend. I don't recall seeing them.

It also says Blues Image were there. Based in Miami I've seen them perform at a few venues.
No specific order:

Three Dog Night
Mothers of Invention
Sugarloaf
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Steve Morse with the Dixie Dregs
Quiet Riot
Blue Cheer
Will to Power
Expose
Roxette
Allman Brothers
MC5
Canned Heat
Dixie Dregs?! AWESOME!! I still have my What If CD in regular rotation play in my car for the long commute to & from work every day.
Believe it or not, I have never been to a concert
Not exactly groups, but concerts and performances:

In 1963, Pete Seeger, blacklisted and barred from American television, fled the persecution of his homeland and embarked on a 10-month world tour.
One of his first stops was Australia where he was welcomed with open arms and sold-out performances. From fascinating discussions of his musical influences to performances of more than two dozen songs, witness how one man, armed only with a banjo, a guitar and the power of song, captures the hearts and minds of a nation.

One thing I greatly regret having missed was Paul Robeson at the opera house Nov 1960:
Interesting to note that both Robeson and Seeger were virtual refugees from America.
In 1969, I saw the Amboy Dukes perform at the Miami Jai Alai Fronton.
Again in 1970 at a Miami concert venue called The Place.
If I recall, Nugent was the only original member and renamed the act to Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes.


In 1971, I joined a band who did some outdoor rock concerts in Fort Lauderdale and as far north at a college in Deland, near the middle of the state. Some of the other bands we played alongside were Tin House and Brownsville Station.
Also in 1971 we opened for Ted Nugent at a college in Boca Raton.
