    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    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)

    Rage Against The Machine-Lalopaloza 1994
    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
