    Although these are out of my normal realm of musical tastes, the two best live shows I've ever seen were George Thorogood and the Destroyers and Los Lobos.

    Kid Rock a few years ago. Once in Louisville, KY and once in Cleveland, OH. Mainly because a good friend worked for Kid Rock and let's just say we didn't leave till well after 2am from the bus lot. :-) Saw Kid Rock again in January 2011 and it was really hard to leave after the concert like everyone else...
    I saw Kid Rock at the Endymion Parade in New Orleans at Mardi Gras. Pretty cool!!

    Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Austin, Tx., Erwin Center, April 15, 1988, because my oldest son was conceived literally next door to Bruce at the Four Seasons Hotel. By me... not Bruce. But how cool would that have been. ;-)

    Easy Star All-Stars at The Social in Orlando 2-ish years ago.

    311 at Hard Rock Live (about 5 years ago) in Orlando (made me change my mind about them. In-freakin'-credible!)

    Lauryn Hill at House of Blues Orlando last year.


    Damn, these choices kinda make me seem like a hippie/stoner.

    also saw mayhem that year in MA, but we got to see avenged sevenfold for one of only two performances at mayhem...if you're into that sorta thing.
    me, i was more interested in the side stages with shadows fall, norma jean, hatebreed.
    of course lamb of god on the main stage was sick.

    The first Lollapoloza, Monsters of Rock, or Clash of the Titans. Kind of a tossup.

    best was probably poison a few years ago. won tickets on radio to the china club in nyc. me, the band and about 150 other people. that's it. it was awesome.

    close others: prince (sinbad opened for him. thought it was gonna suck, totally funny tho), van halen, bon jovi, and a few dave matthews shows.

    on a side note, i also saw the warner brothers orchestra play in high school. it was amazing. huge screen showed bugs bunny cartoons, while a live orchestra played the music for it. very cool.

    Garth Brooks. He puts on the most entertaining and energetic show I have ever seen. And I have probably seen over 100 acts from country to heavy metal and none can touch his enthusiasm.
