I know the other two bands besides Pearl Jam aren't exactly bands with deep meaningful lyrics or anything above just being for entertainment, but they both perform so passionately. I love watching a band and just being able to tell how much they love what they do. The lead singer of Snow Patrol looks like he's so consumed by his singing that it's just great to watch.. And when it comes to Unwritten Law being first, Scott Russo just seems to have so much fun on stage and that makes the concert great..
Any list without Martin Sexton isn't worth anything.....
Ah!! I just sort of discovered Martin Sexton. They were playing his music in the background prior to the opening act at a concert I went to this summer. I thought he was great!
I have never seen Bruce or Radiohead, but I bet that would be my top 5.

Oh...sorry...I was doing my old Ed McMahon impression (you couldn't tell???) like he always did with Johnny Carson, not a gender thing at all...
...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!
