Best concert you have ever seen live

[MicroBob]

Well I'll certainly take that as a compliment from the GREAT one!

I was actually thinking about it as I made the list. Pretty much the same thing that you said, "Geez...I've been to some pretty good shows I guess, haven't I?" I guess it hadn't really occured to me since I hadn't really put them together in a list.



Neglected to mention a show that wasn't really good enough to make the list but SOUNDS really cool.

Last year Elvis Costello was in northern Mississippi recording a more blues-influenced album.

He wanted to try out his new stuff live and played 2 nights at this teeny club that is about 1 minute walking distance from my abode.

the line had to be 500+ people long the day they sold tix and that didn't include the online and phone orders flooding in...
the place only held 250. A lot of people got shut out.


Anyway, in the show he played so many songs from the new CD that I didn't really care for. Lot of slow stuff that nobody was familiar with and the crowd was really taken out of it.

But he did play the standards too which was pretty cool.
I guess I had just hyped it up in my head SO much that the show itself just couldn't match up.

Forgot to mention that your list ain't too shabby either.
But you already knew that.
