There it is! I still have yet to see them, but have heard that they put on one of the best shows out there. They've gotta get back to the north east!

I have no list... I hate lists!

BNL is great for a variety of reasons. They are extremely nice people. They are so funny - you're never sure if you are watching a band or a band of comedians. And they're great musicians, too.

It's too bad BNL hasn't caught on like they deserve. As their catalog continues to build and more people learn about their music, I think they could very well become my favorite live act.

I've seen them 6 or 7 times and would recommend that everyone go see them even if you think you don't like their music. I'll bet you are fan by the end of the show.

I was actually fairly straight at the beginning of that show when I first saw Godzilla....

Damn, my lizard only takes up one row.

1) Bruce Springsteen

3) AC DC

4) Eagles

5a) RUSH

5b) Meat Loaf

That makes at least two of us but I guess that's why we're all here. I have to say that no matter what mood I'm in, there is always the perfect Buffett song to enhance it.

Is that sorta like "that's when I first saw the bear"?

Jimmy Buffett

Bruce...
You get the idea

1) Buffett -- Of course

2) Jimmy Cliff -- AMAZING performance (if his last name was Buffett, it would've been #1 )

3) Kenny Wayne Shepherd w/ Double Trouble -- closet to seeing SRV I ever got. Not to mention, the guy can flat-out play!!!

4) CSNY -- Fantastic show, would like to see them all together again.

5) Eric Clapton -- Haven't seen him yet, but I'm going to his Madison Square Garden show, which I think promises to easily make this list.


Honorable Mention goes to:

James Taylor -- most laid back concert I've ever seen
Bon Jovi (can't believe I'm admitting this). They put on a terrific performance both in the 80's and today.

I've never seen Kenny Wayne Shepherd but I've heard nothing but excellence about his playing!! One of my friends said he has to be SRV's illegitmate child

Buffett
Mellencamp
Metallica (before the sell out)
Charlie Daniels Band
AC/DC
Tesla

Probably the BEST show ever put on consistently is RUSH. Throughout a whole show, Geddy might say 10 words - it's all about the music, they are perfectionists and the quality of their music has not suffered in their 30 year existence. And the energy that comes off the stage...INCREDIBLE!

I would believe that!

The great thing about him is that he's got so much obvious SRV influence, yet he still leaves room for his own style. He doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves (just like SRV, before we lost him). Go figure...

Clapton is great in concert. Unfortunately, I have to miss his Columbus stop this time around

And I'll admit Bon Jovi with you. I saw them a lot during junior high and high school. I decided last year to go see the Bounce Tour and it was actually quite entertaining. (by the way, if you are trying to relive the hair metal days - skip modern day Poison. Loved 'em in the 80s. They are really, really bad today in my opinion.)

I agree on modern day Poison. Loved 'em in high school. Saw a reunion tour 3 summers ago and it was OK. Can't seem to muster up the $12 to see them again.

They are on tour with KISS this year. Go figure.

My list:

-RUSH
-Buffett
-Metallica (past life)
-The Who
-Yanni (yea that's right I said Yanni, if you haven't been you just don't know)

Son of a Sailor, that Avatar of yours is great. When I saw that guy peeking out of his cube in Office Space, it reminded me of a guy exactly like that in our office! Keep that Avatar!

1) Buffett
2) Hank Jr.
3) Kiss
4) John Cougar
5) Paul McCartney
