    Old enough to have seen them all except Paul McCartney. Saw Bruce and E Street first time in a gym with less than 1000 people about 1975 - then one stadium and his solo show. Also saw U2 before their megashows in a smaller venue. Zeppelin was a GA stadium show - one of my first shows can't remember the year. Never got into Wings so I missed McCartney. And of course PJ many times and hopefully many more. IMO Bowie should have beat out Wings/Sir Paul.

    Ive seen all five bands and my order would be different.
    Led Zep would be no 1 and pearl jam would be 2. Now bruce springsteen circa 1975-80 was truly something to see, but i wouldnt put him at no 1 now. Paul McCartney wouldnt make my top 5.

    I've seen the Beatles and Paul McCartney. He would NOT make my top five. I might have to put the Beatles there just for historical significance. It is hard to say because the sound systems were so poor back them and it was at an outdoor venue. Could hardly hear anything except screaming females.

    Well maybe that's good since you can't even spell "Zeppelin" to begin with...............

    I've seen three out of the five on the list. U2 does put on a great spectacle, Bruce plays an amazing show, but PJ really connects with the fans in a special way every time.

    I've seen them all and by no means am I ready to die! No offense to Sir Paul but a Pink Floyd reunion with Roger Waters would be in my top 5. Looking forward to the day I get to see Zep again, not looking forward to that ticket price though. I bet all tickets will be over $300 if you are lucky enough to get them. Long live Rock & Roll!
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    4 out of 5 ... one more and I can go home! : >

    Don't think I'll ever see Bruce. Missed the opportunity in 82', though I have heard from many, fans & non, that he & the E Street are amazing in concert. Now if Eddie were to make an appearance as he has in the past, well twist my arm. : >

    From your post to God's ears! In the words of another who made the list, "Let it be" man.
    Why go home?
