    Patty Griffin - The Bayou, DC, 10/4/98
    Grant Lee Buffalo - The TLA, Philly, either summer '98 or '99. After Jubilee was released
    Lucy Kaplansky, The Birchmere, VA, 9/15/01
    Son Volt - side stage at one of the early HORDE tours, they'd only released Trace at that point.
    Too many Nields shows to count
    PJ -Hartford '08

    I tend to gravitate towards shows in smaller venues. That said, REM doing "Country Feedback" and "So Central Rain" in '95 and Page/Plant on "Kashmir" '97, both at the Spectrum, will live on forever in my imagination.

    Close between:

    Pearl Jam- San Francisco 2006 (any of the three shows, really)
    Arcade Fire- The Warfield (SF) 2005, Berkeley 2007 (either show), Mountain View 2007
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Pearl Jam (12/02 and 12/03/2005) - The only chance I got to seem them playing live here in South America! Please come back soon :)
    U2 (jan/1998 and feb/2006) - Great!
    Roger Waters (march/2002) - Awsome!
    Ben Harper (jan/2007) - almost 3 hours of concert, it was incredible too!

    Just looking forward to see Ben Harper again next weekend (Sept 28) and Dave Mattews Band for the first time, in the same day!
    And REM for the first time in November...Can´t wait :)
