John Cougar Melloncamp (at least that is what he called himself at the time) in February 1986 in Kemper Arena in Kansas City. No opening act, he played two ninety minute sets with a 20 minute or so intermission in between. Led off the show with Small Town (actually a recording of Grandma's Tune which went straight into the live Small Town) and finished with Under the Boardwalk as an encore.

Saw the same tour in Pensacola (Feb 1986). That was quite an impressive show!

Jerry Lee Lewis at Bryant Denny Stadium around 82 or 83. Hank Williams Jr was also supposed to play, but we left before he made it to the stage. Not sure if he ever did. That was back when he was notorious for getting too drunk to perform.
