Most intense under 60 min concert I ever saw
Forums:
51 minutes long and left myself and the rest of the audience as drained as we would have been with a 2+ hour show. I attended some Ramones' shows that were straight balls-to-the-wall intense but this show had highs, lows and everything in between. And it was video captured...

Stevie ray opening for Moody
Stevie ray opening for Moody Blues in Htfd civic center...not sure year...but, NOBODY knew who he waz, when he walked out , front stage, full house lights on, sat down w legs over stage front, and just started.....shredding.....two other guys joined him half way thru first song and when finished he stood up and said "hi, im stevie ray vaughn and THATS double trouble."
A buzz started you could hear it in waves throughout cc...."did he say stevie ray? Who is that? Isnt he on Bowies album? And shit like that...rang around the cc walls
Place went nuts.
Now, i dont know how long that set was....
But, it really doesnt matter.....at all...

Stevie Ray was one for me too
Stevie Ray was one for me too. Pier 84, Summer of '83. I used to play Tennis at Cove Racket Club on Long Island and knew much of the McEnroe entourage. They had a benefit, Special Olympics I think. It wasn't selling well and Comps were offered. Stevie Ray and Double Trouble opened the show and just blew my doors off. They were just a bit better than Johnny Mac and Vitas Gerulaitis attempting to be Rock Stars.
Okay this is a bit longer than an hour, but this was my first encounter with Michael Hedges. I was floored.

Oh, and i shoulda mentioned...show was sold as "an evening w moody blues"...so, we had zero clue when he started playin, like i said -- house lights still up...im sure over 75 % of us never saw him walk out w his guitar....i kinda caught him just as he was sitting his legs over front stage....def a night i will never forget...and damn, jaz, THATS special, catching him at a club etc...in earliest days

Ray Charles. 50 minutes of sheer delight. I think 50 minute sets were in his contract for most of his career...

Elvin Bishop at a small bar
Elvin Bishop at a small bar called the Shaboo (I think that’s how it was spelled. Too tripped out that night to be sure.) in the early 70’s maybe 73?

I think this one would be up
I think this one would be up there for me, Daniel Carter / William Parker / Matthew Shipp doing an hourlong set last year. No drummer, no sheet music, just an hour of free improv thick with ideas, with extended techniques, with Dan Carter (Sun Ra, others) switching between trumpet, flute, sax. They played after a screening of The Cry of Jazz and doing a Q&A. Unbelievable night of music.
They recorded it, too:
