that was on my "before i die" list too. saw them in NYC last summer. FUCKING AMAZING!!!

Some interesting input in here!

An incomplete list of concert acts I attended in the past years (I am sure I will forget some and I will name only more of Rock n Blues acts):

Jethro Tull (the sound sucked but the band is great!)

B.B. King (that was massive - history revealed!)

John Mayall and the bluesbreakers (felt it to be a bit too proffesor playing..)

Black Sabbath with Ozzy (he ROCKED an there was no shaking corpse on the stage)

Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio (Never thought I will see them together - nearly killed me!)

Dio (Warsaw - went 500 miles there and back - Holy Diver tour 2005 and a superb concert!)

Yngwie Malmsteen (very surprised - incredible !)

Ten Years After (surprised me the most - fantastic performance!)

Eric Clapton (with Robert Cray - well nothing but a great show although the sound sucked )

Johnny Winter (too bad he wasn't in the best shape but I often remember that)

Lou Reed (put on 150 pct. to warm up the cold crowd)

Glenn Hughes (a bit too polished)

Tool (that was a massive display of playin skills an killing atmosphere)

Velvet Revolver (as I am a massive fan of G'n'R I was a bit dissapointed, the only song that really kicked ass was "It's so Easy" a G'n'R classic)

Desperately missing and wanted:

ZZ Top
Van Halen
AC DC
Deep Purple
Zeppelin

Worst concert I have ever seen:

Manowar (not that I would ever be a fan but they were a part of a certain festival)

Best Revival I have seen:

Judas Priest Revival Prague - they kick serious ass and look like the 1982 Screaming for Vengeance line up!

Glenn Tipton is our interior designer by the way.

Saw both of them this past year, both great shows.
Van Halen brought out his son to play bass for the band.

Good stuff

Jane's Addiction
Guns N Roses

1) Nine Inch Nails
2) Paul Van Dyke
3) Grateful Dead
4) Kiss
5) V2000 Festival Leeds, England

I don't get out much, so one of the coolest performances I have ever seen was Leon Redbone; he whistled a whole song and it was AMAZING.

Chris Isaak is a great old-fashioned entertainer and I got to dance on stage at one of his concerts (with a lot of other people, not solo on a pole or anything).

Southern Culture on the Skids was cool too because I got to throw fried chicken at people from the stage.

Worst concert ever was a Depeche Mode concert I only went to because my ex-girlfriend invited me and I thought I would get laid. Didn't get laid, and while I like DM, that kind of music is completely USELESS live.

1. Slayer
2. Korn and White Zombie
3. Primus
4. System of a Down
4. 8Ball

Definitely two bends I would LOVE to see live and am almost 101 pct. sure that it will NOT ever happen..

Velvet Revolver kind of sucked if I would take Guns into consideration and as for Jane's I have at least bought me the "Three Days" DVD recently, haven't got a chance to screen that yet though.

Next concert - this wednesday - "The Smashing Pumpkins" was a super fan of them especially on the high school.

Jimmy Chamberlain actually put on an interesting solo album during their hysteric break up time and I am sure Zwan is also a very listenable thing for all the massive fans.

I saw them this summer at rock the bells... in a word AMAZING

tool
daft punk
dave matthews
and thats it :)

Grateful Dead
Tool
Dickie Betts
Ministry
Burning Spear

Suicidal Tendencies
Clutch
Slayer with Mastodon
Static X at the Gigantour (with Megadeth headlining)
Lamb of God

But I've got Iron Maiden in february. So one of those bands is about to be knocked out of the top 5, I suspect.
