Since everyone is leaving out the late 70's, early 80's...

Best Live Show by a Band Only Playing Four Chords: Ramones

Best Live Show by a Performer While Being Constantly Spit Upon: Johnny Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) of Public Image at Toads Place in New Haven, CT

Loudest Concert in a Club: The Jam, JB Scotts in Albany

Loudest Concert in an Auditorium: Ted Nugent (runner-up The Who), both in the New Haven Coliseum

Greatest Athletic Achievement: Bono of U2 climbing up down the light towers in an outdoor show in Belgium

Worst Sound: Go-Gos playing the old Alumni Gym at Union College in Schenectady, NY (Belinda Carlisle cried afterwards)

Most shocking: Bob Dylan playing for three hours at Toads Place in New Haven, talking to the audience, and taking requests

Most Entertaining: Pink Floyd's the Wall Tour, Nassau Coliseum, Long Island (runner up: Rolling Stones in Germany in '82)

Best Country: Johnny Cash at Toads Place

Most Surpisingly Good: Tom Jones at Toads Place

Most Bizarre: Tie. B52s inaugural tour and DEVO

Best Kiss I Ever Got from a Rock Star (female only (g)): Joan Jett, after a show at JB Scotts in Albany. Upon asking her if she'd kiss me on the lips she said "OK, as long as it's not one of those wet ones."

Best Show I Never Saw: Rolling Stones at Toads Place. My (now) wife and a few friends decided to go to the club down the street that night. The show was billed as a birthday party and once you got in you couldn't leave and the phones were taped shut.

Most Nostalgic: David Cassidy at Toads Place singing his Partridge Family classics. Opening act was the comedy of Danny Bonnaduce talking about how he found out his "date" was a transvestite.
