off the top of my head...

Puddle of Mudd - Gimme a break, I was 18!
Seven Mary Three - Pretty good
Incubus - Really good, though I'd probably think differently now
Flaming Lips (4 times!) - outstanding, of course, every time
Widespread Panic - don't really remember the show, which means it was a good time!
Disco Biscuits - " "
De La Soul - Pretty good, for a rap show
Deerhoof - eh. Band was good, the crowd was horrendous
Of Montreal (2X) - outstanding, the best live band out there right now
The Killers - surprisingly great, probably the closest thing to a Springsteen show I've seen
Common - again, rap, but not bad
MGMT - fun, psychedelic, wild
Thievery Corporation - Laid-back, chill, very cool
Eisley (2X) - decent the first time, great the second time

There's others, but considering nobody'll care about the ones I have posted, I'll save us both the trouble.

I've only heard of maybe two of those you've listed.

Not a complete list:

Rick Nelson - Excellent

Billy Joel (6x) - Most were very good, the last one, not so much

Asia - Their first tour, excellent

Genesis - Excellent

Rod Stewart - Very good

Ted Nugent - Very good

Bad English - SRO, very good

Foreigner - Very good

Bad Company - Very Good

Nightranger - So so

David Cassidy - Oddly enough, very good

Sheena Easton - In her heyday, dead sexy and very good performance

Neil Diamond - Hey, it was Neil Diamond, very good

Meatloaf - Excellent

Tom Jones - Excellent

Pablo Cruise - Good show, doesn't mean much if you don't know their music

KISS - You think they sucked? Not back in the '80s

Brian Setzer Orchestra - Excellent

The Eagles - Long Run tour, excellent

Robert Earl Keen - A texas great, excellent show

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Classic, excellent show

Alice Cooper - Back in the '80s, again. Great show

Jimmy Buffett - Numerous shows. The only concert I will go to these days. Always an excellent show, always excellent tailgating. If you like even one Jimmy Buffett song, you need to see him live.

Bruce Springsteen (x12 or so) -- Greatest live performer of the rock era.

I would never ask this question to my dad. He's been a regular concert attendee for the last 35 years or so.

A coworker of mine saw him in Charlotte last night, said it was an outstanding show. I guess their keyboard player just died, which sucks, and he said Clarence Clemons seemed to be showing his age a lot more than anybody else up there, but that it was still an outstanding show.

He said there was a 9-year-old girl up front holding up a sign that said "you're way better than Hannah Montana", then on the back it said "play _____" (some song I hadn't heard of). Well, not only did he play it, he pulled the girl up onstage (maybe she's the next Courtney Cox?) and let her sing the chorus! Pretty awesome.

Rad! LMFAO!

What the fuck? Is this 1982? Did Nicholas Cage just star in Valley Girl?
