    In no particular order

    Best performances I've ever experienced:

    Pink Floyd, 1974 (Wish you were here tour)

    Leonard Cohen ~1979 (same tour as the Commander Cohen CD)

    Stones 2007 Dodger Stadium

    Springsteen, same venue, 2005?

    Donovan, every time I saw him in the 70s & 80s

    Barclay James Harvest, ditto except the last time

    Tina Turner, Greek Theater - Simply the Best

    Dylan at Staples (tour before last)

    Bob Seeger - can you believe that guy thought no one would want to see him any more (while my teenage kids are stealing all his CDs out of my car)

    To my immense surprise, Dolly Parton (the wife made me come with her) I can not believe how she can play an electric 12-string and sound just like Roger McGuinn, with those fingernails.

    The Chieftains

    Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

    The Yardbirds last time they came to LA - amazingly, not just a bunch of geezers phoning it in.

    Oh and I have to agree with the person who said you can't go wrong with punk/Irish Flogging Molly. A fucking grand hoolie and no mistake.
