    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.

    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.

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