Who have you seen that you'd consider great Live in Concert

[skelters]

In no particular order....

Bob Dylan around 40 times Scotland, England, Brooklyn since 1989. 5 ft from Bob in 2000 in Newcastle. Eyes are very blue like nothing you've ever seen. Very small bloke with a huge nose and lots of hair or wig!
Joan Baez every tour in the past 20 years.
Steve Earle loads of times in the past 20 years.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
John Martyn
Peter Case
The Who
U2
Bon Jovi
Bruce Springsteen - Scotland, Sunderland, Milan. Milan being the best although not a fan of the pretend working class crap he spouts.
Crosby, Stills and Nash, Concert Hall, Glasgow. Graham Nash came on stage barefoot. That's enough to walk out for. #Wan*Stain
Celtic Connections - Usual musicians, Ally Bain, Phil Cunningham, John McCusker etc.
Mark Knophler
Van Morrison
Edie Brickell & The New Bohemiens
Elvis Costello
The Rolling Stones
Jackson Browne
Whitney Houstons mother! What a voice. At a Gospel night in Carnegie Hall in New York.
Willie Nelson
Eurythmics
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Nick Harper
Roy Harper
Graham Parker & The Rumour

Also once seen The Sensational Alex Harvey Band but Alex was dead by the time I'd seen them!

Cold Play were good live as well

[RustyZ4]

I too have to many to list, but some of the highlights

Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd (with roger waters)
Beth Hart

[MalNCH]

Far too many to list but the stand out has to be Kiss at Expo Square, Tulsa in 1990, I was lucky enough to be working at American Airlines (computer dept.) on a 3 month training course. I also got to see The Beach Boys at Tulsa Drillers Baseball stadium while there as well. Only problem with that was you had to endure hours of dull baseball to see the concert after the game.

Now how spooky is this - i've just found some of my old gig ticket stubs whilst listening to some old cassettes!

I wish Ida kept all the stubs, esp pink floyd at earls court but at least theres a few happy and debaucherous memories invoked here....

Out of all the bands Ive seen (a lot..! ) probably the most memorable was seeing Fish after he’d left Marillion at the students Octagon in Sheffield, a tiny place, held about 200 or so, and he was utterly brilliant..!! His backing band were amazing, they had fantastic gear so the sound was unreal. He sat on the edge of the stage between songs to tell fascinating stories or answer questions, the most down to earth not up his own backside man you could meet. Amazing gig..!!
