I saw one of Springsteen's Barcelona stadium shows (92 maybe?). Boss does well in stadiums. In contrast the Stones at Anaheim Stadium were a snooze.Tina Turner Barcelona

I heard at Monterey music festival there was a heated debate on who would go first The Who or Hendrix. They both knew each others act and didn't want to be upstaged. I think Jimi won that one, everyone remembers him lighting his guitar on fire.At pretty much any stage, The Who really know how to put on a show.
I regret never seeing Jaco live but he died when I was 18.In terms of polished and professional sound the two best concerts I ever attended were hardly 'rock.' Joni Mitchell when she was backed by Jaco Pastorius, Tom Scott and the LA Express in the mid 70s
I've only heard Weather Report on studio recordings. I owned Black Market and Heavy Weather when they first came out. No idea what happened to them.I regret never seeing Jaco live but he died when I was 18.
As a lifelong bass player (some of it professionally), I am still completely mind boggled with Jaco’s playing. He had huge hands and much of his Weather Report stuff I can’t even play. Physically, I mean. My hands just can‘t do what his did. Hendrix was the same on guitar. That dude also had insanely large hands.
Jaco’s Joni work was excellent, but his Weather Report stuff was just nuts. Truly a virtuoso and arguably the best bassist of all time.
Watch Robert Trujillo’s (Metallica bassist) Jaco documentary if you haven’t. It is excellent. Robert owns Jaco’s “bass of doom” and is surprisingly also a great musician.
Never been to Sask, period. Only Canadian province I haven’t visited. I did take the train from Vancouver to Toronto when I was young, but I don’t recall stopping as we passed thru SK.I've only heard Weather Report on studio recordings.

I thought all Canadians were required to point out that Joni Mitchell was born in Alberta and raised in small towns in Saskatchewan if someone hasn't already said it. What's the matter with you?
Ever been to Maidstone, SK?
I'm sorry. I know Jaco is dead. I meant I don't remember what happened to the record albums. Poor writing.Never been to Sask, period. Only Canadian province I haven’t visited. I did take the train from Vancouver to Toronto when I was young, but I don’t recall stopping as we passed thru SK.
Weather Report is done. Jaco is gone and Alphonse and Joe Z are also dead. Wayne Shorter is almost 90 surprisingly.
I saw her at Woburn Abbey, must have been 1990 so possibly the same tour, phenomenal show.Tina Turner Barcelona
I’ve always been told that if someone says the remember the 60’s, they weren’t really there.Don't forget Jim Morrison. Jefferson Airplane as well. I can barely remember that I saw the big acts back in the 60's.
Moody Blues were bliss and Pink Floyd took part of my brain the night they played Blossom Music Center.
O to have been in Hamburg then...This would have been fun...
Actually, The Who won the coin toss and got to perform first. Both acts blew people's minds. I agree with you that Hendrix's set was more memorable, but maybe just because The Who would go on to have even better performances at Rock n Roll Circus, Isle of Wight, Leeds, etc.I heard at Monterey music festival there was a heated debate on who would go first The Who or Hendrix.
