In total agreement about Richard Thompson - have seen him numerous times, and he is always engaging, changes the shows enough even on the same tour, and just flat-out great.
The thing for me is I like the shows that are just insane - A concert is theater, and if the performance isn't bigger than life, it just disappears. So the best things I have seen are
(this list quite clearly dates me)
The Cramps - Lux in a lace g-string, swallowing the microphone.
The Circle Jerks - part of that was the venue - a little rathole in atlanta where the whole theater was the pit with a balcony above that looked down on both the stage and the bodies.
Ani DiFranco - probably the most sexually tense crowd I have ever seen. Women were going crazy like in those old Beatles newsreels.
Southern Culture - throws fried chicken at the crowd, what is not to love.
The Beat Farmers - Country Dick Montana, God Rest His Soul
Just saw The Fiery Furnaces last week, and that show was great - they just played, not a lot of shenanigans, but they flat out rock and Eleanor is really intense and pretty damn cool.
Are the committee members fighting in the schoolhouse rock video robert byrd and paul simon?
