None. He puts on a good show.
I should have quoted this post so folks would know what I was referring to:

Killer was one of the first albums I've ever owned as a kid yet I've never seen him in concert. Yeah, looking back at his vintage years some of the props seem kinda of hokey now but I'm sure it was still a great live show. From what I've seen from some more recent concert footage he still knows how to put on an outstanding concert.

Best stage show - KISS

Best overall concert - Pink Floyd

I just saw Australian Pink Floyd at the Tower Theather in Phila. WOW!!! Go see them if them come to your town. They are amazing. Tickets were about $60 but well worth it. This year they are performing the Wall plus a 7 song encore including Shine on you Crazy Diamond and Great Gig in the Sky.

Other Great Concerts:
Rush
The Who
Billy Joel
Springstein
Genesis
Yes
Aerosmith
Styx
AC/DC
Clapton

5 or so of the BEST LIVE SHOWS I have ever seen have been Bob Dylan.

5 or so of the WORST LIVE SHOWS I have ever seen have also been Bob Dylan.

With Dylan there is no middle ground.

That said .....
Rolling Stones (Steel Wheels Tour)
Bruce Springsteen (just incredible every time)
Beach Boys (on the mall with 250,000+ people on 4th of July in D.C.)
Neil Diamond (1970s and 1980s)
John Prine (mesmerizing)
Pink Floyd (RFK stadium once)
Paul McCartney (also RFK stadium)
Billy Joel and Elton John (together)

I never saw Elvis or the Beatles. C'mon? Elvis was the showman.

But I've got to come back to Bob Dylan - saw him live once on the same bill with the Grateful Dead and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Best show I've ever seen.
wow this is funny, we saw Dylan last summer at a 1000 seat venue and the review was 'mangled up in blue', which I whole heartedly agreed with.
The best ever for energy and connection with the audiance was Springsteen hands down!!!
Best tailgate party is always Buffett
