In no particular order after the Stones
Stones - Earl's court '76
Stones - Knebworth '76
Stones - Bristol '82
Stones - Dublin, Cardiff, Twickenham - 2018 + Toronto 2019
Stones - Cardiff - 1990
Ian Dury & the blockheads - Hammersmith Odeon 12.8.1979
Bob Dylan - Blackbushe - 1978
Peter Tosh - Cardiff - 1978
Frank Zappa & The Tubes - Knebworth 1978
Lou Reed - Hammersmith Odeon April 1992
The Who - Swansea 1976
New Barbarians - Knebworth - 11.8.1979 - Led Zep headlined here but a bit dry for my liking, much preferred Ian Dury the next day in London.
Biggest regret at not seeing...............Humble Pie
I was lucky to see them twice (both after Frampton left unfortunately). First time in 1973 at MSG in NYC (Black Oak Arkansas opened up). Second time in 1976 at Nassau Coliseum on LI. What a voice Steve had...

Bit off topic, but I see the Bears have purchased a large chunk of property outside of Chicago with the possible thoughts of building a new stadium. Would suck to see them move out of Soldier Field but they could use a bigger stadium. 61000 is the smallest in the NFL.
Regardless, Bear Down Chicago Bears!

DGA,
The Bears placed a bid for Arlington Park from what I saw in the news this week.
I'd hate to see the Bears go suburban.
Would that mean the Stones would go suburban? Or, play Wrigley? Is that thought too future-focused for the Stones? Will the Stones ever return to Chicago?
Either way, I'm a lifer for Da Bears.

I'm sure they would still play Soldier Field. If the Bears do build a new stadium, it wouldn't be ready for several more years.
I live near Vancouver but have always been a Blackhawks fan and a Bears fan. Lost interest in the Bulls after Jordan quit. Got to see them twice in the nineties when they were in town playing the Grizzlies.
I still remember back in the late 70s, perhaps 77 when Led Zep was scheduled to play at Chicago Stadium and the Hawks were in the playoffs against the New York Islanders. Hawks had to play their home game at Nassau Coliseum in NY since Zep already had Stadium booked.

Van Morrison - Montreux 1990: the concert of the century!! (I have seen him about ten times, and he was always great but this concert was the classic). It is available in perfect quality on a bootleg and on YouTube but the video which was shot there is still unreleased
Mumford and Sons - Paris, Theatre Trianon: an intimate concert, they were world-class
Bob Dylan (& Eric Clapton) - Nuernberg 1978: most memorable for the event as being Dylan's first big concert in Germany
Rolling Stones - Munich 10 June 1982: Nobody can imagine today how legendary they were back then, and they were good!
A honorary mention goes to Randy Newman - Stuttgart 1983: an intimate solo concert which impressed me very much
and to Rod Stewart - Stuttgart 1986: a great show with artistic power

We’ve been to a few of the same shows!
That Who gig in 2015 was amazing, I thought the sound was brilliant also. I hadn’t seen the who indoors prior, it had always been outdoors and the sound that night was just excellent. I was at the 2012 & 2016 McCartney gigs, the 2012 Springsteen gig (if you saw a drunk blonde asleep during this gig, I was the guy beside her, and it was most definitely she who wanted to go) and the Iron Maiden gig in 2019 also.
I hadn’t seen Iron Maiden in 10 years and I couldn’t believe Bruce’s voice is still as good as it is. I’d seen them a lot between 1993-2009 but skipped the last few tours, so got a pleasant surprise. Sound was excellent also.
