I'm a Crosby fanboy.  I saw Paul at the Alamodome and had great seats.  I had a choice of 2 dates and I picked the one that complained we were sitting too close.  Go figure.  My FICO score wasnt the only thing I got together during the last 5 years or so.

I judge a concert by the quality of the music, the quality and timing of the whole event and the quality of the companion

That is why I went for S&G

Opeth/DreamTheater (Progressive Nation Tour)May 26, 08/ Constitution Hall DC...OPeth is my current favorite artist, and has been for the past five years. DreamTheater is in a genre of their own --Virtuosos's all, and all of them out of Berklee where my son is to attend this fall--but both are progressive metal. Anyway, This was the first time seeing DreamTheater and they blew me away, but since they were headlining, their sound was pitch perfect while Opeth's sound sucked.Horrible mixing, crappy volume. This was fourth time seeing Opeth.

What made this the best (recent) concert -- and I attend concerts 5-7 times a year -- was that my sons (both musicians)and I had a private audience with Opeth 20 minutes after they finished their set. I'm not the strarstruck type AT ALL, but it was like meeting Mozart to me. I highly esteem this band, I contemplate this band like the religious contemplate God, and I was unable to concentrate on anything else for days. They were most magnanimous and gracious to us and that really surprised me.

Anyway, they return to the MD/VA venues this September. I have not used any of my cards for five months now, but you can **bleep** well bet I will definitely whip one of them out for tix when they go on sale. Screw the score!

Right.  I, too, have upgraded in the date department since I saw Paul.  My BF at the time made the experience far less enjoyable than it would have otherwise been.  But new DH and I had a GREAT time at Roger Waters!!

I am a certified concert ...er...the word would get me spanked. 

Last year, Phil Collins and Genesis, Roger Waters, Todd Rundgren and the New Cars, plus a couple that were less memorable.

The best?

I loved Lilith Fair.

CSNY at MSG

Debi Hari at 60 - still going strong

Roger Waters (with a long break to get food during "Leaving Beirut")

My absolute favorites were in the 80's though that would age me.

atlast...off to see Rush tomorrow

I'm a parrot-head; so Buffett, anywhere. I've been to his shows up and down both coasts and cannot remember one that I thought was slacking. It's always worth the ticket price to peruse the tailgators in the parking lot.

Every single Metallica show I have been to! Metallica live is the business!
