I am compiling a list of songs about live performances. So far, the list is short. I’ve got:
Woodstock: Joni Mitchell
Rock and Roll Song: Valdy
Garden Party: Rick Nelson
Piano Man: Billy Joel
Killing Me Softly: Roberta Flack
Super Trouper: Abba (thanks CG)
Don’t Play That Song: Aretha Franklin (thanks KM)
By the Way: Red Hot Chili Peppers (thanks C-Dawg)
Who else can help? Anyone? Anyone? (By which I mean you, Bueller. Oh, and you too.)

I don’t know “Don’t Play That Song” but thanks for the referral. And Super Trouper! So perfect!
Do you still need these? I polled the gang:
Smoke on the Water: Deep Purple (something about Deep Purple and Frank Zappa playing a concert somewhere, and the venue starting on fire…?) (John)
My first rock concert — The Rheostatics (Ben)
Rock Show — Blink182 (Becky)
Stay–Jackson Brown (Becky)
Thanks anon! (RR perhaps, suggested by the Becky?) Much appreciated.
