Nestled into the hit parade of songs was a deep cut track that never really got much attention before, a Stevie Nicks penned song called Silver Springs.

The concert was so well received that Fleetwood Mac reformed for another run with sold out concerts all over the world for a number of years. Why it's on the list: When many people think of "legendary concert moments" this is precisely the one playing in their heads.įleetwood Mac - Silver Springs - The Dance 1997Īfter years apart and a successful (commercially and critically) solo career of Stevie Nicks and a successful (critically) solo career of Lindsey Buckingham, Fleetwood Mac reunited in 1997 and filmed a fantastic television special titled " The Dance". On a day when Phil Collins played on multiple continents, Def Leppard's drummer returned after losing his arm, and LED FREAKIN' ZEPPELIN reformed it was Queen that stole the show. Radio GaGa wasn't even close to being one of Queen's greatest songs but because of this performance it may be one of their most iconic. until Freddie Mercury strutted onto the stage and stole the show with the very first song of their set. No one really paid attention to them on that star studded day. They were nervous, even bickering backstage. Queen was 100% perfect on this day in 1985 with tens of thousands of fans soaking up every movement of Freddie Mercury.
There are many Queen moments that are legendary but this one stands out among the greatest. Freddie Mercury, my gosh, what can you say about the man? Charisma, talent, and command of the audience - it's all there. Why it's on the list: Neil Young's intensity and the crowd going nuts for everything. Historically, I have not been a big Neil Young fan but the older I get the more I find his music very interesting and, apparently, I am becoming a big fan because there are two Neil Young songs on this list so stick around.
There are a couple of versions of this song and it's variation Hey, Hey My My (Into the Black) that I struggled between but settled on this one from Farm Aid 1985 since it is the most memorable. Neil Young - My, My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) Farm Aid 1985 Here are a few caught on film that, either through intensity or energy, captured the moment perfectly. There were others that came close but those three stick out in my mind from my personal concert experiences. I was stunned by Stevie Nicks doing an incredible rendition of Gold Dust Woman. I watched Metallica kill it on One in 1989. I saw Rush do a perfect play-through of Tom Sawyer. I witnessed Ozzy Osborne do an unforgettable performance of War Pigs. I saw Robert Plant mesmerize a crowd with Immigrant Song. I have been fortunate enough to see a few of those moments in concert myself. It's like that time when Peter Cetera came back and performed with Chicago or Steve Perry returned to perform with Journey. There are times of perfect synergy, mood, and circumstance that make a musical performance unforgettable. Sometimes everything just works magically.
