Although their audience is sorta cultish, there's nothing like a They Might Be Giants show-- hook filled, high energy, clever music. They are on my 100 mile radius list-- I'll go whenever they are that close, and I've never been disappointed.
I've seen Cracker in both full band and in stripped down mode. Great show either way.
Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. A lot of people on this chain are saying Springsteen, but (a) you aren't going to see the Boss in any venue smaller than a sports arena-- not worth it; (b) he has been running on fumes for 25 years; and (c) the best of his material is now over-familiar. With Johnny you get Springsteen material that is less played out, in a smaller setting.
