Last one I saw was Bon Jovi about 2 weeks ago. It was pretty solid. Before that stand-up with Tracy Morgan - TERRIBLE!! I think Lady Gaga before that, again solid. The list goes on and one.......I know Lady Gaga does not belong on the PJ site. O'well.

Eric Clapton, really great show. Last of the US leg, so it was kind of special.

Pearl Jam and the rappers at Made in America last Labor Day weekend. Thinking hard, but I don't think there's been anything since.

OH YES! No Code in various places, New Hope, Philly, etc. Cannot forget that! Do those count? They've got PJ music and beer, good enough for me

promise me you wont make fun :oops: :roll: :?: ...

but, i took the wifey to Kid Rock 2 weeks ago...

it was a last minute idea...tix were only $30 bucks...
(my wife absolutely loves last minute/spurr of the moment drinking plans...LOL.. )

And to be honest...prolly why we're still together after 2 kids and 20 years with each other ...

called her at work on a friday right after lunch,,,(knowing she'd be so ready to have some drinks after a long week at work :fp: :shock: )...

Also had a good idea some friends of ours/hers would have a suite at the hilton which is connected to the Arena... which they did, and it made for a great nite of drinking followed by a night of some fairly entertaining musical acts :twisted: ...

Ok now,...you promised you wouldn't crack :nono: :nono:

Wow, to say I am jealous would clearly be an understatement.

Saw The Steepwater Band last night in Milwaukee. Well worth the 2.5 hour drive from GB. The guys were on fire like usual. Opening act was Magic Box who were great. The two guitarists from Magic Box came on stage with TSB for a cover of Neil Youngs Like a Hurricane. It was Epic! Four amazing guitarist all taking turns ripping off 5 minute solos to one of the best Neil songs. I wish I had a video or pic. Four Les Pauls blasting at once, it was loud.

I was talking to Ed from Magic Box after the show. I mentioned the Like a Hurricane and he talked about what huge Neil Young fan he was. I agreed and brought up PJ. His eyes lit up. They are from Chicago and he told me he wasn't a huge PJ fan just casual. He went to PJ20 the first night to write a review for... something. He said he was told how great they were live and he was like... they better blow me away. He said they he was completely blown away beyond his expectations and then some. I tried talking him into going to Wrigley, wasn't sure if he could make it though. SUPER cool down to earth guy.

It was a great night.

Black Crowes at 9:30 Club a week and a half ago, an incredible time and one of the best shows I've ever been to. God damn they are a fireball of a live act!

red mos

black crowes are great live! seeing them for the 2nd time next Sunday.
I saw Chris Robinson's Brotherhood last sept. It was good, but not as good as the crowes.

The last concert I went to was Green Day in Toronto on April 11 (originally on January 29 due to Billie Joe Armstrong being in rehab). Great show, even though they didn't play Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). Over two hours of music and Billie Joe sounded great. It was more like a club concert, but in an arena.

Before Green Day, I saw Muse on April 10 and that too was a great concert. Great production and visuals and great performance as well. The one thing I was most surprised of this show was the fact that it ended just after 10:00 PM. And no, they didn't cut their set short: opening act Biffy Clyro took the stage at 7:00 PM and played for 40 minutes. Muse were to take the stage at 8:15 PM, but started five minutes later than scheduled and played for 100 minutes.

Counting Crows at Sydney Opera House. As is sometimes the case in Sydney, great show but the crowd can get shitty if "the hits" aren't played :( The whole set was broadcast on Youtube and can be seen here http://youtu.be/Xi1XocOR5EA (it starts about 10 minutes in).

Also in the last month or so I've seen Wilco, also at the Opera House, Neil & The Horse, Cat Power and Kiss

Lol, my brother saw them in Milwaukee right when Mr Jones was breaking. It was the only single they had I think at the time. They didnt play it the whole night and then after the last song Adam Duritz said "You dont always get what you want" and walked off. My brother was pissed. I thought it was awesome. Of course I wasnt there though.

Nick Cave at Coachella, last Sunday (Apr 21st). Blew my mind away (as expected), but I was definitely left wanting more. 50 minutes is just not enough. Everyone around me had NO idea who he was (I was at the rail, towards the right end of the stage). He put on one heck of a show, and so did the band. The choir of kids for Jubilee Street and Push the Sky Away, was also a nice touch. All time classics like Stagger Lee, Mercy Seat, From her to eternity, Jack the Ripper, Deanna and Red Right Hand were brilliant and explosive.

I decided to end Coachella then and there, since nothing would top Mr. Cave and the Bad Seeds, in my opinion, and also because I had to drive back home (4 hours) and work the next morning. But mostly because I knew they were the highlight.
