Mine are:

8/4/1978: Bruce Springsteen, Charleston Civic Center, Charleston, West Virginia

Two Hours and forty-five minutes, tra cuu ma so thue not counting intermission. I enjoyed the show but don't know if I would enjoy seeing Springsteen nowadays.


3/26/2016: Jad Fair, Indianapolis Museum Of Contemporary Art, Indianapolis, Indiana

For this solo show, the leader of Half Japanese played all of 23 minutes. thong tin doanh nghiep Yes, this was a free stage at a music festival where it cost $ to see most of the national-level musicians. luxury girl And yes, the primary purpose of Jad's appearance was to sell his art--although that's not how it was advertised at first. But I still think he could have given us a longer set.

I feel really stupid but I don't think I could give you exact times for any of the concerts I've been to without looking them up. And that would take a lot of time and energy and memory that I'm not sure I have. Buy here are SOME of the longest:

Swans
Springsteen + E Street Band (notorious for long shows, man definitely lives up to the legend on this one)
The Cure (also famous for very long shows, and also noted multiple times in this thread)
Bob Dylan (I was ready to leave about an hour before the show ended. Can't believe this is the case, but it was. I was younger and maybe had a shorter attention span)
GY!BE (didn't mind the length, my first time seeing this band was revelatory)

Shortest? Fuck I don't know. Saw a ridiculously short Cat Power set once, but I think she was co-headlining with S-K. Saw a really short Modest Mouse show too, but again I'm not sure they were THE headliner. Need to think on this more.
