    Unwritten Law
    Pearl Jam
    Snow Patrol

    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!

    Jesus, only one person in this thread almost got it right..excluding the Supersuckers of course. Sorry, just was never that into them but I did try!

    The Supersuckers put on a hell of a live show. I've been fortunate enough to see Eddie Spaghetti (Supersuckers singer and bassist) open for them. You really get to see them in two different lights: first the acoustic country way then the balls out rock your ass kind of way. Their shows are usually no more than fifteen bucks and well worth the experience.

    The Crowes are just firing on all cylinders right now. They mix up the setlists, throw in great covers (Don't Do It, Torn and Frayed, Poor Elijah, etc.). Plus the fact that they play smaller venues makes the shows seem very intimate. Seeing them twice in October and am actually more excited than when I saw PJ for two shows back in June.

    And if I can add one more live band (even though I haven't seen them in like 6 or 7 years), RATM is like no other concert experience.

    Actually, I saw Bruce- Lincoln Financial Field, $159 tickets, and like I said, F--- U2, no I wont waste my time or money. Thanks for the analysis though, Dr.


    Moron. What happens when you ASSume? Can YOU SPELL douche?

    Nice response - for a 15 year old! And while I appreciate your opinion, responses like this are one reason many fans don't bother with the Pit.

    HEH! Been to the last 6 of them in a row....and I'm pissed because, well, we totally WOULD have gone, but we THOUGHT we had to refinance the loan on my house...but we got super lucky - the bank froze our interest rate for the remainder of the loan - and we got that letter AFTER Summercamp. SO if we thought we didn't have to refi, we would have gone. I'm still paying off the stupid RV and expenses on a cc from like 3 years ago. :) Always a great time though! I went to college in Peoria, so I've been to pretty much all the scamps.
