Top 3 Best Concerts:
Bruce Springsteen-Early 80's. An almost 4 hour concert! This band was incapable of putting on a bad show.
Procol Harum 1971-Some of the best musicians that I've ever seen in one band..Gary Brooker was a fuking great singer!
The Doobie Brothers & R.E.O. Speedwagon mid 70's. I've been to probably about a thousand concerts, but the Doobies were the best of the 70's live acts that I saw. They really knew how to put on a great show. REO was also very good that night trying to keep up with the Doobies.
Worst:
Three Dog Night mid 70's...One of the lead singers Chuck Negron was in a car accident the day of the concert and couldn't attend...So it was basically 2 Dog Night. And it made for a terrible show with bad two part harmonies. Nobody sounded like they wanted to be there..And the opening act Lobo was also a pretty lame group..."me and you and a dog named boo"

Three Dog Night was in Atlantic City over the 4th of July weekend...I attended the free Beach Boys concert that same weekend, over 50,000 people were there...Mike Love was the only original there, but it was a good one....Always liked Three Dog Night, great harmonies, especially the song "One"
I've seen Three Dog Night a couple times since then, and they put on a much better concert..That night they used a car accident as an excuse for Chuck Negron not being there..But he was a heavy drug user back then and was probably too out of it to go on stage..He left or got kicked out of the band many years ago because of that reason...Cory Wells was always their best singer anyway...His vocals on Otis Redding's "try a little tenderness" is still one of the best versions I've ever heard of that song...
Top 3 Best and Worst Shows I have seen.
Best
1) U2 all 18 times that I seen them were great
2) Rolling Stones I have seen them 10 times, but my friend won front row tickets to a show and it was incredible
3) David Bowie
Worst
1) Grateful Dead without Garcia
2) Bob Dylan (Who I love) almost put me asleep
3) Beastie Boys. The concert for their latest album it sucked.

You remind me of that RHCP/STP doubleheader I went to something like 6-7 years ago, which offered some of the best and worst I've seen.
I'm not a huge STP fan, but they completely stole the show. Fantastic live band. Weiland is a top-notch performer and rock singer. I was in awe.
Then RHCP took the stage and it was among the worst mainstream-rock type of act I've seen, in large part due to Kiedis' voice. The guy cannot sing to save his life... he owes his career to Autotune. The rest of the band was impressive and super tight, but man, that guy was murdering his own songs like a drunken japanese guy at the karaoke bar.
