Violent Femmes- seen 'em a bunch of times, various cities. Smaller venues, as Todd said-minimal, lots of energy, awesome.

One of the Day on the Green shows I saw in the Oakland Coliseum, featuring the Pretenders and U2 amongst others.

The Deck the Hall Ball show with Beck, Bush, Moby, Stained, Everlast because the show was good, we got backstage, then on stage, then partied with half of them half the night.

PIL and INXS, serious energy.

Pearl Jam in the grass at the UW, pre big-time.

Billy Idol and Faith No More....Billy Idol dumped a bunch of dead trout on Faith no More while they were playing on stage, then Faith No More went on stage butt naked with paper bags on their heads while Billy Idol was playing, pretty funny.

Blondie, cuz I was young and hitting puberty, and she was hot. (back then).

Pappa Roach, couple different places, they put on a show.

Love and Rockets, just plain good

Rolling Stones in the Kingdome, crappy sound, great show, thought it would be the last time I would see them.

ZZ top over at WAZZU, seen them a couple other times, but that show was energized, they were tearing it up.

Def Leopord, everytime cuz the chicks get funnier every time. The big hair chicks still stuck in the 80's trying to look hot in their high waisted mom jeans is always good entertainment. Then there are always a few who used to be hot, and remained so, they really stand out in that crowd.

Van Halen, who didn't like them in 1984/85.

Godsmack - don't ever miss them.

Worst ever, Phil Collins in the Tacoma Dome, pathetically boring.

I saw the Dead a couple times in San Francisco, I was more impressed with their traveling fans than them.

*By the way, I used to be into concerts like I'm into fishing now..I was addicted.
