    John Martyn, on a good night, is the best act in the world, for me. His current band is very tight, too.

    Here he is, with Danny Thompson, playing his song "Solid Air" (which he wrote for his friend Nick Drake):

    My picks (in no order):

    Pearl Jam (duh)
    The Rolling Stones
    Gloria Estefan (I'm not kidding, it was like a huge party)
    Radiohead
    Nine Inch Nails
    Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
    Prince
    U2
    Moby (He was running all over the place, playing guitar, keyboards, drums, and the music made everyone bust a move)
    R.E.M. (This is kind of a biased choice because they're my favorite band, but most times I've seen them have been great and the setlists almost always vary from night to night)

    WOW!!!!
    They opened the show on the main stage that year.
    We had listened to their debut CD on the way to the show..... It was like listening to it live when they played. Never knew a band could sound like that live.


    Oh yeah, and all 9 times I've seen PJ......................:D

    Coldplay was good too. Possibly one of the best. I would like to see them in a small venue. That will probably never happen.

    Stevie Ray Vaughn has to rank as one of the best live acts Ive ever seen, seen him twice, on tour with Jeff Beck at MSG and the New Years Eve show at the Ritz a month later, 8 months later he was gone... Janes Addiction in 91 at MSG, Tool at MSG 1 month after 9.11. Radiohead at Bonnaroo this year. Many others...

    I actually like My Chemical Romance. I interviewed Ray Toro for a piece when I covered music, and he was awesome. That being said, I have seen them twice live, and I thought they were awful. Gerard's shtick gets old really fast, particularly saying "fuck" in one of its various forms every half minute. I name them as one of my most disappointing live acts.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
