Addison Schohier

As a music lover and avid concert-goer, I have had the privilege of attending some of the most unforgettable performances in history. It may be a daunting task to compile a list of the top 10 concerts of all time, as there have been so many incredible shows throughout the years. However, I am up for the challenge and have narrowed it down to the following concerts that have left an indelible mark on the history of music:

1. Woodstock (1969) - This iconic festival featured some of the greatest musicians of the time, including Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane among others.

2. Live Aid (1985) - This global fundraising event featured some of the biggest names in music, including Queen, U2, David Bowie, and Madonna, to name just a few.

3. Pink Floyd - The Wall (1980-1981) - Pink Floyd's epic tour featured a massive wall constructed brick by brick on stage, ultimately being destroyed by the end of the show.

4. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (1972-1973) - Bowie's alter-ego Ziggy Stardust became a sensation, with elaborate stage costumes and legendary performances.

5. The Rolling Stones - Altamont (1969) - This concert may be infamous due to the violence that occurred, but it is still considered one of the most significant events in rock history.

6. Led Zeppelin - Madison Square Garden (1973) - This show, known as "The Song Remains the Same," featured Led Zeppelin at the height of their career, performing some of their most legendary songs.

7. Prince - Purple Rain Tour (1984-1985) - Prince dazzled audiences with his energetic performances and impeccable musicianship during this iconic tour.

8. Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York (1993) - Nirvana's stripped-down acoustic performance showcased their raw talent and cemented their place in music history.

9. The Beatles - Shea Stadium (1965) - This concert was a groundbreaking moment for live music, as it marked the first time a band played to such a massive audience (55,000 people).

10. Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium (1986) - Queen's electrifying performance in front of 72,000 fans is considered one of the best live shows of all time.

These concerts represent just a fraction of the memorable performances that have taken place throughout history. Each of these shows has left an indelible mark on the music world and continues to inspire new generations of fans. As someone who has been fortunate enough to witness some of these performances, I can say that they truly are some of the top concerts of all time.
